How do you deal with colleagues who seem to only want to make your life harder? I find it so frustrating!!!

Can’t really say without more details.

But generally try to keep in mind that you can only control what you can control in the situation. Some people are real jerks / pain in the butt!

If they’re not doing their part to then make your part/role streamlined maybe you need to connect on how to solve for the misunderstanding. I generally play dumb in this scenarios and ask if they can help me understand something.

If it’s a toxic issue there’s no fixing it and you need to deal with it or move on.

I've had some experiences in that area. I used to work with one person who, I swear, must have gotten up every morning thinking of ways to aggravate me. All I could do was shrug it off, and develop a thick skin. Depending on what your colleague is doing, that may not be possible. But at some point there's only so much you can do if you're forced to work with a disagreeable or annoying person.

Happy wife happy life is a really toxic saying. I’m just shocked how this has become the standard saying for men in relationships. I have friends of mine saying this all the time, and I have just thought it’s so cringe and always want to say my thoughts on it but always decide to hold back. However, imagine the saying reversed - happy husband happy life - that would lead to all kinds of uproar. To me happy wife happy life means I need to sacrifice my wants and needs to make my wife happy.
