So my best friend has been feeling down the past month or so and since I no longer live in the same state as her I can’t physically be there for her. But I am also 8 months pregnant and barely have the energy to do anything even working has been a struggle. We didn’t text for over a week, not my fault she just never responded but read my message. Gets upset today because I didn’t check in on her but when I have been she barely responded.

At the end of the day I feel as though if you’re depressed it’s understandable & I’m giving the best advice I can give. But your situation is not going to go above mine when I’m pregnant and she barely checks on me. Plus she isn’t doing anything to get herself out of the depression so it’s not up to me to solve that problem. She hasn’t asked about me, she hasn’t asked if the baby has been okay but wants this title as a god parent.

In a way she tries to guilt trip me saying well our communication isn’t the same since you’ve been pregnant blah blah blah. Like what does my personal life have to do with YOU not responding. And honestly I have no energy to cater to someone else when we’re both grown and I have a husband and a baby on the & work full time.

I always acknowledge her feelings but today I had enough of the pity party bullshit. And when I told her “ I've reached out to you and you rarely respond now I give you space because no matter what I say or whatever advice I give your going to feel how you feel you need work on your shit” I got no response again. Im mot going to kiss ass or pity someone who just expects someone to always be there when they can’t!

I (19f) have feelings for a guy (21m) who I met on a dating app. For more context we have been messaging everyday for almost exactly a month. Worth noting we also live in different countries. Over this time I have become more infrastructure with him.

Problem is I am not sure if he feels the same or not. Maybe he just sees me as a friend? I just value my connection with him and I don't want to sabotage it.

This is what I plan on sending him,

"Hey, I know this is sudden, but I just want to confess. Basically, I've gained romantic feelings towards you. Idc if you don't feel anything back or what not. Apologies if this came off as weird. I just think it's important for you to know. Still, I hope we still text since I genuinely value our conversations. I sincerely want the best for you. I'll always be here if you need help unless I'm dead 😎"

Wanted to keep things light and chill since I don't want him to feel and presume and the ending falls into the humor him and I use together. Also, it's worth noting I am willing and looking into everything we would have to deal with in our relationship due to the distance and I'm willing to deal with it, and if he feels the same him and I will have a conversation about it.

Any advice or encouragement would be appreciated.

Greetings old friends. I'm super tired and the thought of explaining this properly is a lot, so apologies. 2000 characters disappering...

My bathroom exhaust fan was a bit noisier than usual when I turned it on today.
I figured I'd vacuum it, remove some dust. I've done this once before.

Told my husband, asked him 1. If he thought that white 'fluff' stuff might be mould, or if it was just dust (we both decided not mould), and 2. What brush he thought I should use. (He's way too into cleaning, and I am not, so I asked. Big mistake.

All I was asking for was advice. Instead, he took the entire fan housing out of the ceiling. To vacuum it. He unscrewed, unplugged.
When he finished and plugged it all back in, it was broken. Won't turn on.

Please advise what he did wrong. And fuck being democratic or pussyfooting around. Tell me straight. He's historically overconfident when it comes to repairs, especially with things electrical. He almost started an electrical fire before. He works in IT. He's arrogant about other skills like home repair.

He did not turn the breaker off when removing it, nor remove the timer switch piece.

Below the fan timer switch, there is a notch I noticed. It can be pulled out to deactivate the switch. He did not do this. The lights no longer come on, on the timer. We can compare it to the same model timer in our 2nd bathroom, which does have lights on permanently, even when not turned on.

He then completely removed the fan. He plugged it into a regular wall outlet, and it powers on. So, the fan is operational.
But when installed back into the ceiling, it receives no power.
He checked the outlet on the fan, and it shows no current, or not 120 V. It reads 0. xx.

Did he somehow fry the timer switch? How? Can we fix the problem by replacing the timer? We have the same model in the 2nd bathroom.

The fans are cheap, not more than $50, maybe. What I'm concerned about is he doesn't know what he did, and he may do it again, if we replace parts.
