My boyfriend has a really close friend group and I’m starting to question the relationship because of the people he surrounds himself with.

One of his friends once looked up my skirt on the stairs and didn’t even look away until i saw them looking and walked out. Another constantly talks about corn, reposts screenshots of girls, and is generally disrespectful. Another one is openly misogynistic online, watches gore constantly, talks about corn all the time, and apparently even got banned from Discord before over really disturbing content involving minors. Only one of the friends seems genuinely normal and respectful.

The problem is that these kinds of conversations happen in their group chats all the time, and my boyfriend still stays very close with them. I don’t know if I’m overreacting, but being around this dynamic makes me uncomfortable and honestly changes the way I see him too.

I’m starting to wonder if the people someone chooses to stay close to says something important about their own values. Would this be a valid reason to leave a relationship?

Hi everyone,

I’m feeling really anxious about an upcoming situation and I need some advice.

I’m supposed to start full body laser hair removal soon. The problem is, the person doing it is a close friend of my mom, not just a professional I don’t know. Because of that, I’m really stressed.

I have some old marks/lines on my wrist that are about 3 years old. They are still slightly visible and haven’t fully faded. I’ve been trying to treat them (silicone sheets, creams, etc.), but they’re still there.

I’m scared that during the session she might notice them, and then tell my mom. That’s honestly my biggest fear. I keep thinking about her being close to me during the treatment and possibly seeing them.

I also don’t know how visible my wrists will be during the session since it’s full body laser, and that’s making me even more anxious.

Any advice would really help. I’m just feeling very overwhelmed about it.
