I’m a Product Lead working with a designer on a fairly complex flow, and I’m getting increasingly frustrated because the designer seems to think their job ends once they’ve designed the happy path.

I’m asking them to define the states and interaction behaviour of the experience — things like what happens when validation fails, what happens when a user enters an invalid date, error/empty/disabled states, what happens after an interaction, and how the UI responds to different scenarios.
They don’t seem to understand the ask.

I’m struggling with this because I’m not asking them to design every possible pixel or create 50 separate screens for every permutation. I’m asking for enough definition of the interaction model and key states that engineering isn’t left guessing about intended UX behaviour.

For example, if you have a date field, surely the design should establish things like:

When does validation happen — on entry, blur, or submission?
What does the error state look like?
Can they continue with an invalid value?
What happens when the value is corrected?

And obviously, not every transition needs its own Figma screen. A state/interaction specification or annotated flow would probably be enough.

Am I being unreasonable here? Where do other teams draw the line between PM requirements, UX design and engineering implementation?

My partner has always been addicted to porn, which we’ve spoken about numerous times. I’ve started to notice that he’ll always have either a cushion or pillow covering his crotch while watching TV or playing PC, and his pants will be unzipped. I have a suspicion he’s basically constantly wanking off or touching himself whenever he can. Like the term edging.

My uncle (mums brother) has been living with my parents for about 3 years now, as he moved from overseas in a work visa. My uncle used to be extremely kind and generous to me as a kid. He’s got 2 daughters who both still live back in china with my aunt and he hasn’t seen them for about 2 years now.
He works for my dad. I’ve noticed he is not as upbeat and caring anymore, I know he probably cares deep down, but it’s just different now. I understand that he’s in an interesting circumstance being away from his family and my grandma and working for my family… honestly I would have never predicted this happening if you asked me years ago.
I almost rarely hear him call his family and when he does get a phone call, he just goes to his room and talks in private. It just seems that he’s a bit more distant now as an uncle.

My FIL/MIL have made comments in the past about how they’re not in a rush for their son to get married in front of my parents even though we were already engaged.

They’ve also compared their parenting style to one of their relatives who are much more strict on their kids and finding spouses and will try break up the relationship if it’s a person they don’t like, and will say to their son how lucky he is that they aren’t like that and how liberal they are, right in front of me.

They will often also make comments about how nice another girl is. Does this kinda show that they didn’t really like me?
