A clever alternative to consider when responding to unwanted offers of help might be: 'Thank you so much, but it's just a thing we do,' accompanied by a self-deprecating laugh that indicates to onlookers that you find your activity amusing. This approach often encourages people to respect your boundaries more easily.

You can forgive him and not go out with him again. Tell him you accept his apology, but you are not interested in a second date.

Jealousy stems from an uneven emotional connection between a partner and an ex or old crush, which can sometimes feel more painful than an outright affair.

While of course, I'm happy for her and her family, and was more than happy to look at the first few photos and congratulate her, I am, quite frankly, over it. It has been weeks of her showing me pictures of her baby doing nothing remarkable, with very little difference in the pictures.
