My boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend is close to his mom, taking her out to dinner, sending her gifts etc. I don’t think it means anything between him and the ex, and it’s out of my and his control, but I still don’t feel very good. Any thoughts on how to “get even”?

Have sex with your boyfriend everyday. His ex will hate that

“Get even”? Are you implying that this ex is still friends with your bf’s mom specifically to target you in some way?

What do you know about her? Pure speculation here, but do you know anything about her relationship with her own mom, and whether your bf’s mom may have filled a void in her life?

The answer is in your question - it’s outside your control. Worrying about things outside your control is drinking poison and hoping your enemy dies. The best thing is to stop doing it!

Stoic philosophy? Reading a book on it right now, there was a quote somewhat similar to this

Get on IG playing with the gifts she sends the mom, and ensure she see it. It will stop for sure

You should also be intentional about spending time with your boyfriend’s mom. I know it doesn’t feel good but ask yourself why. For me I’d be concerned that the mom was going to favor the ex girlfriend over you and that’s something you can try to do something about. Spend time with his mom and develop your own relationship with her.

I don’t see this as a problem. Maybe the solution is in you building up your self esteem and confidence.

Hi all,

My boss makes jokes about me being from a different country whenever there is a work meeting or a gathering with coworkers, even though he knows where I am from. This usually occurs when I meet new work-related people or for example if I am in a situation that involves ethnic related subjects.

What is this? This is normal?

Incredibly down right now. I injured my left ring finger on Friday and I still can't bend it inward to touch my hand. Calling to get an appointment with a hand surgeon tomorrow morning but I'm worried I won't be able to get an appointment quickly. If I ruptured my flexor tendon, I'll need surgery within 10 days to maximize my chance of a full recovery but I really don't trust Kaiser (my insurance) to make that happen. I'm a developer and it's going to be awful having a splint for 3 months 😢
