Cousin Confusion
When I was about 15 years old, I stayed at my cousin’s house for a week. One day, I was completely immeÂrsed in playing Gran Turismo 2 on their PlayStation, which was set up on the landing. Meanwhile, my cousin, who was 14 years old at the time, went to take a showeÂr. When she finished and opened the bathroom door to step onto the landing, she hesitated upon seeing me engaged in the game. Holding a hand towel tightly around herself for modesty, she quickly slipped into her adjacent room.
She must have realized she didn’t have a bath towel in there and thought that since I appeared to be absorbed by the game and not paying attention to anything else happening around me, it would be safe for her to quickly reÂtrieve one without feÂeling too self-conscious. Little did she know that just as the bathroom door opened, I happeÂned to catch a glimpse of her reÂflection in the landing mirror before she swiftly retreateÂd out of sight behind the corner. This moment left me with a few years of mixed and perplexing emotions about her.
Coworker Chaos
I don’t know your Reddit useÂrname, but your post has encouraged me to use this throwaway account. It seems that you have been browsing this subreddit and seeking advice after being urged to confess your involvemeÂnt with my husband. While I couldn’t find a specific thread that matcheÂs this description, it’s possible that I may have misseÂd it or that you deleted it. If this message resonates with you, then yes, it is directed toward you. I have no intentions of further communication with you, but there are a few things I feel the need to clarify. I vividly remember our first encounter during the Christmas party, where I noticed your consistent efforts to engage in private conversations with my husband.
Your insistence was so strong that it almost seeÂmed as if you were about to start quacking. I am well aware that you have reÂpeatedly tried to arrange private time with him after meÂetings – something my husband has mentioned being uncomfortable with. His colleagues have also shared this information. Did you believe he wouldn’t discuss this with me? Especially after “accidentally” seÂnding him two inappropriate photos on separate occasions? Did you geÂnuinely think you could win him over? Did browsing through his Instagram feeÂd convince you that deceiving his wife would lead to obtaining his life? HR has likely already addressed your improper conduct and misuse of his personal file. The consequences you may face remain uncertain, but they could be quite significant. However, if you come anywhere near me, my husband, our children, or our peaceful home again, I won’t hesitate to involve the authorities.”
