Everything feels perfect in m my relationship, but one notification shook me

My boyfriend and I are gay, and honestly, yesterday and this morning felt pretty much perfect. We had an amazing day together, great intimacy, lots of cuddling, and it’s a holiday here so we were just relaxing.

This morning he was lying on his stomach scrolling Instagram and asked me to scratch his back. I was sitting on him doing that (something we both enjoy), and while he was scrolling, a notification popped up that said:

“Hey cutie, did you see the fireworks yesterday?”

I only saw it for a second, he didn’t open it and didn’t send reply, at least not that I know of. I know he has gay friends and he’s told me before that they mostly send each other reels and chat casually. But seeing someone call him “cutie” instantly made my stomach drop.

The thing is, there haven’t really been any other red flags. Our relationship feels good, he’s affectionate, and nothing else has made me suspicious. At the same time, I can’t stop thinking about that notification.

Would you bring it up? Ignore it unless there’s more evidence of something? Am I overreacting, or is it reasonable to feel uneasy after seeing a message like that?

I’d appreciate honest opinions, especially from people in long-term relationships.

Tax return submission - Form 100

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to complete my Luxembourg tax return (Form 100) for the first time and I’m quite confused about how to correctly declare my income.

Last year I moved to Luxembourg and started working here in October. Before that, I was employed abroad, so I need to report both my foreign income and my Luxembourg income.

My main issue is understanding what exactly should be declared in the income section:

  • Should I report gross income or net income?
  • Do I include the total amount paid by the employer, or only the base income?
  • How should I treat additional payments like holiday allowance, bonuses, sick leave compensation, etc.?
  • For foreign income specifically, should I convert and report the full gross income as stated on payslips/tax documents, or something else?

I want to make sure I fill this out correctly, but I’m getting conflicting information and I don’t want to make mistakes.

If anyone has experience with Form 100 or knows how this section should be completed, I’d really appreciate your help or any guidance.

Bf not very skilled in oral sex

I have a small issue in an otherwise really good relationship and wanted some advice on how to bring it up without hurting my boyfriend’s feelings.

Our relationship is great overall, we get along really well, have a strong emotional connection, and sex is usually really good too. But there are a couple things I’d like to improve.

Sometimes when he gives me head I can feel his teeth a bit, which isn’t super comfortable. I’d also like him to be a bit more aggressive while rimming me.

I really care about him and don’t want him to feel insecure or like I’m criticizing him. It’s genuinely not a big problem, just something I think could make things even better between us.

What’s the best way to bring this up in a nice way without anyone getting hurt?

Hi,

I’m looking for professional advice from dentists/orthodontists.

I went to the dentist today for a cavity filling on my upper left second molar. During the visit, my dentist noticed that I have a bite issue: my posterior teeth don’t seem to be contacting properly (possible posterior open bite).

For context, I completed Invisalign treatment about 4 years ago, which lasted around 2.5 years. I was under the impression that everything was stable after finishing treatment.

My dentist recommended that I see an orthodontist to evaluate and potentially correct this.

However, I have to admit I feel quite reluctant to go through orthodontic treatment again after such a long previous experience.

From a clinical perspective:

  1. How serious is a posterior open bite like this?
  2. Is orthodontic retreatment typically necessary in such cases?
  3. What are the potential long-term consequences if left untreated?

Photos are attached for reference.

Thank you in advance for your professional insight.
