On This Week's Feedback Friday:

  • You're 32, own a house, and your high-school-friend-turned-roommate just violated the carefully negotiated "cuddle agreement" you both crafted after that Vegas moment changed everything. She's hooking up with other guys while you're left wondering: are relationship contracts just elaborate ways to avoid real feelings?
  • Your sister-in-law — an Ivy League MD/PhD running a pharma empire — has mysteriously locked down access to your stroke-victim brother-in-law, creating an elaborate web of isolation and control. What's her endgame, and how do you fight someone who's turned medical expertise into manipulation?
  • Recommendation of the Week: Activate Games
  • At 22, you burned through $100k of your $150k nest egg on transformative travel experiences that cured your social anxiety and rebuilt your entire identity. Now you're entering the workforce wondering if you just make the smartest investment of your life, or committed financial self-sabotage disguised as self-discovery?
