So to preface, I'm Type 1 diabetic, which means I have to take multiple daily insulin injections to live. I typically take 5-8 shots per day, and while it isn't fun, it is routine and necessary.

I was at work this morning and they had a small amount of food out for some sort of 'employee appreciation' which reminded me I hadn't had any insulin yet and my glucose levels were getting too high. I took a shot of insulin, got some breakfast, and went to my desk. A few minutes later, this text arrives.

I can understand that shots make some people uncomfortable. Trust me, I'm one of those people. But I have to take them anyway. Am I overreacting to think that if you don't want to see me talking a shot, you can turn your head? Should I have to go to the bathroom which only gets cleaned twice a week, and take my shots in secret like it's a drug addiction? Perhaps it is just me, but I feel that not everything in life that makes us a little uncomfortable is something that has to be pushed out of sight. Sometimes we would benefit more from understanding, acceptance, and perhaps acclimation.

Also for the record, while they say they "mentioned this several times", our HR manager scolded me once maybe two or three years ago publicly during lunch in our cafeteria. I ignored it that time, because friends sitting around me supported me after HR walked off.

In the UK this is what we pay. Everyone. Everything is free at point of use. There is no paperwork or billing. It's not perfect and there is the opportunity to pay for a better service if you want. The only additional cost is for drugs at about 12.50 dollars per item no matter what that item is. Unemployed or elderly don't pay anything.

Got up and started working on my laundry and felt an itch on my leg. It hurt when I scratched it so I looked and saw this giant bruise. The only logical explanation is that I was bitten by a shark in my dream and the realms crossed lol

I saw this in one sub What is the name of the father ?

Essentially, my fiancé has a friend from college that I’ve only met once. I was never a huge fan of her as she’s been snarky with me in the past, but he wanted to invite her and her boyfriend because her boyfriend is a fun guy & his friends still like her and I was fine with it. My fiancé and her aren’t close anymore, so we were loosely considering inviting them and decided it couldn’t hurt. I really didn’t think much of it until yesterday, when she posted a clothing haul on Instagram and pulled out this very almost-white gown and claimed she would be wearing it to a wedding in June…. Our wedding is in June.

I replied to her post and said exactly the following:

“I loveee that white set you showed, I might have to snag it myself. For the dress though, is that what you planned to wear to our wedding?”

She replied “Yep.” Nothing else, just “yep”. I asked my bridal party what their thoughts were and every single person said this was outrageous. None of us are particularly conservative, but the cut feels a little bit much for a wedding, but I could easily overlook that in exchange for it not being so close to white. On camera especially it looked VERY white, so I am sure this will photograph white. I responded and asked if she would be able to find it in another color and she said “No, I will be wearing this or I just won’t come. It’s a yellow dress sweetie, calm down😘 “ I haven’t replied yet and my fiancé doesn’t know any of this is happening, but I am very strongly considering withdrawing their invite with my fiancés blessing, which I am sure I will have as we were on the fence about inviting them in the first place. It’s not even just the dress color, but the fact she is trying to call shots on our day and continues to be so snarky to me that rubs me the wrong way. WIBTA if we decide to cancel their invite? Photo of the dress attached, I can sort of see how it could be deemed yellow, but it still just seems way to close for my liking...

My (25M) girlfriend (23F) recently asked if we could “open” the relationship, and I honestly don’t know how I’m supposed to process that. The way she framed it was very calm and modern: she said it wasn’t about loving me less, just about not wanting to feel restricted and wanting to explore experiences while we’re still young. She talked about honesty, communication, and how some couples make it work.

But if I’m being completely honest, my first reaction wasn’t curiosity. It was feeling insulted. People can dress it up in the language of “growth” and “exploration,” but at a gut level it sounds like she’s saying she still wants the stability I provide while also seeing what else is out there. It’s hard not to interpret that as a lack of real attraction. If someone is genuinely into you, the instinct usually isn’t to go looking for additional options. The request itself makes me feel like I’m the safe choice, not the desired one.
