My GF and I are dating for 2.5 yrs , She met an office colleague (he has a GF) recently who she initiated a friendship with.

He has to approve every single document sent to the client or the court, which means you have a physically go to his office to ask him to review something.

Is this normal?

FL peoples: I signed a lease for a new place to start May 1 as my current landlord sold the unit I'm in. Turns out, the buyer wants to keep renting the unit and asked if I want to stay.
