Do xbox live code generators work

I personally don't have dysphoria about my gender markers on my license and birth certificate being F but what are the ramifications of keeping them as such?
I don't think I mind little confrontations like a bar thinking my id is fake cause it says F, but what happens with larger stuff like when I travel, study abroad, or other things I'm not even thinking about?
I'm turned off by changing legal documents cause honestly it seems like a lot of work. I spent 3 years doing phone calls and appointments for top surgery and I hated it. If I changed it to M it would feel like putting in a lot of work in to abide by a system I don't believe in. As much as I love the X I feel like... interesting situations would follow.
Should I put in the work towards an M to socially make my life easier? How long would that take? Is the F not logistically that big of a deal? Should I fear for my safety? I've lived in very liberal places and might be feeling too casual about something that could be dangerous.
I'm transmasc. Have always presented masculinly. Have been on T for a while and plan to be on it for a while, and have had top surgery. I'm not short, I'm not tall. I don't really like to concern myself with "passing" but I do think people just think I'm a guy.

hello guys i currently live on my own and i’m figuring out what adulthood is. December of last year, i was in an accident (not at fault) i suffered from injuries and from doctors orders missed a huge chunk of time. That caused me to get strained big time financial. I was able to start working again about a month or so, and present day i have a huge choice i need to make. I currently drove for uber and make money from youtube, with uber i can make as much money as i want (that’s what it feels like lol), i’m letting you guys know this bc my car went into the shop yesterday, and i was quoted 1300-1900, and i don’t have that just laying around. what i want to do is just say screw it and get a nicer used car from around 2012-2013, something reliable so that i can still work for uber. my current car is a 2011 nissan altima, 173000+ miles and the back end is smashed in, i personally don’t think it’s worth the repairs under the hood. with used car market i probably won’t have enough to buy off the lot, and id have to get a payment plan. should i repair the vehicle or get a newer (used) one?

Ok so it's a long story but basically I was stupid and became a discord kitten and I met this person and I didn't like "listen" to exactly what they said so they threatened to data breach me... and then they apologized bc they're autistic and have bpd... I kinda forgave them, but today my friend got hacked on discord and they were asking where I lived and stuff, and they found the city my dad lives in and they found my dad😀 and they found where he works too I think... I was just wondering what to do bc I don't want to get my family involved and stuff, and I also don't want to involve the police. I was wondering if one of yall can do me a favor and just like scare the person??? I can comment their @. Like I want someone to scare the sh!t out of them so they leave me alone, and apparently they've done data breaches to other ppl before too

So maybe some warning before hand, this is how i currently view me being trans and i might even sound transphobic but plz know this how i see myself at the moment, i got tons of respect for other trans people (even when i went to a support group i only can have respect for those lady's there).
So i really need some advice since i feel like i'm stuck. for some context i'm 29 (amab) and have known i'm trans since i was like 6. I live in the netherlands and there is a shitty long waiting lists for trans care (3-4 years before first consult as far as i know).
I'm really depressed lately and have been talking to a therapist for the last 5 months, my therapist is a really lovely lady who accepts me better as i accept my self. So far i learned to talk about my feelings much better but depression is still 100% present, and i still don't know what i want. Life as male seems terrible and a transition sounds so damn scary cause of the negative news articles or the perception of transpeople in general and the hate trans people get.
There is just so many uncertainties and hate surrounding trans people that i really don't know if i can handle this on the other hand not sure how i can handle my current life for as long as i got. I have tried some small experimenting lately with nail polish but allways feel disgusted afterwards since 'that isn't manly' or 'Im a freak for wanting this' stuff like that. This is mainly because i was raised as a christian and most of those people i grew up with where deffinitly transphobe.
I also am really afraid of how a transition would turn out for me, would the changes be make me happy as in would i be able to pass. I just dont want people to look at me and think 'that is/was a man'. And what would i lose with a transition, i know i need to find new work, my wife will probably leave me and i dont know about familly
Any advice is welcome i just need to get some common sense or experience stories or what ever.
TLDR: how would i know if a transition is the right thing to do if i'm to afraid of all the changes amd the results. Amd what would i lose allong the way
Plz let me know if anything might be offensive in any way (except if you're a transphobe) i don't mean to offend anyone here.

I may have just gotten fired for something on my background check AFTER working there for 2 weeks. Sorry if this is a long story but need advice. On April 12th, I got offered a job with a company pending the background check. As I was employed at the time I actually disclosed ahead time what they would find because I wasn’t going to waste theirs and my time if it was going to be an issue. I was told it wasn’t going to be an issue if it was what I said it was so I decided to move forward with the process.
On April 18, I got the call from the HR that the background check had cleared and I was good to go starting May 2. HR told me that I had actually given them more info than was in the background check. At that point I gave my notice to my current employer who were very gracious and happy for me.
On the first day I discovered that the president of the company and I had a history and so I talked to HR about it and told her if it is going to be an issue tell me and I’m sure my old job would take me back. I was told it wouldn’t be a problem and that I had already been vetted by their attorney. She also told me that only 3 people knew what was on the background check: her, my supervisor, and the general manager. On May 10th, I expressed the same concerns to my supervisor regarding when the president would see me and was told I was thinking more into it than necessary.
Today (5/16) the president saw me and by lunch I was put on paid administrative leave with a letter saying they were thinking about firing me because of the background check. I live in California so I know there was some rights under the Fair Chance Act as my job and my issue do not conflict.
Any suggestions?

I purchased the digital download of the album from the Australian store but I never got an email with the downloads. Does anyone know why? I've never purchased digital before so not sure how it's supposed to work. I live in Japan but the album is out here already so Idk why I haven't gotten the code?

Hi everyone!
I (31m) am still trying to figure it all out, I guess just like the rest of us, right? I went to a small east coast liberal arts college to be a writer. When I graduated in 2014, I had been through a variety of coursework and had felt that while I did want to write, I was focused more on "doing", then writing about it someday. I mostly focused on International Affairs and Anthropology spent some time abroad. I had difficulty getting a job after college and leaned into bouncing/security, then barbacking, then bartending, as a means to just get an income while I figured it out. I had a dream of working in intelligence. A decade passed and I had managed to build a successful reputation for myself both in bar management and brand work. During that decade, a lot of life happened. I had a deranged and tumultuous 7 year relationship with an abusive alcoholic bartender. I was offered a dream job after an arduous and competitive hiring process, only to have it rescinded for non-disclosed reasons days before my 30th birthday. Devastated by the job rejection after years of effort and work, I was feeling quite down. At this point I was bartending full time and just feeling completely lost. My long relationship ended in absolute pandemonium due to a total loss of my vehicle while she drove it inebriated. I evacuated myself from the relationship, as my safety was in question and I could no longer let myself be okay with what I was living. It was ugly and I lost most of my things and my pets.
​
I felt gutted and defeated. I hung my head in shame and retreated to the cavernous depths of the rickety dive bar I had been working at, not doing much other than working and sleeping. Most of my time was spent feeling sorry for myself in solitude or just wanting it all to end. I felt trapped, scared, and hopeless. I met another woman with whom I now have an amazing relationship. It felt as though she brought color back to my life and gave me the excitement and joy I deserved to feel; the stuff I needed to keep healing and push forward. I've been still learning how to love myself again and forgive myself for what I allowed to happen to me. The bar industry had been absolutely crushing; being surrounded by defeated lost souls, on both sides of the bar. It got to a point where I was just completely emotionally and physically drained during my time off that I had no ability to do anything other than rot. And the money hasn't been what it had been and I have been having a hard time staying afloat on my own.
​
A few months ago, at the strong encouragement of my girlfriend and family, and spending far too much time feeling like "John at the Bar" from the song "Piano Man," I left the bar industry for good. My father (also a former bartender), with whom I was more or less estranged from for several years due to longstanding family issues, offered to pay my rent if I left the bar ASAP and helped my brother launch his home remodeling business. I took the leap. I can't say they caught me; times are tough right now. The business is in it's startup phase and I am not in a position where I can take much income beyond minimum wage right now. Its quite brutal and I am questioning what the fuck I am even doing every day, but I push on. I am supplementing ends meet with some freelance work here and there doing some writing and working the bar at concert venues. I don't love my day to day, but I don't hate it as much as the bar. As much as certain things suck, my life is infinitely better. I feel confident that I will look back on these past few years and laugh.
​
So, here I am, still trying to figure it all out. I feel as though all of my interests are laid out in front of me: I love music. I am a bassist, an avid record collector, I spin Boogie/Funk/80's vinyl here and there at bars and parties for fun, and I constantly love exploring everything related to the world of music. I am constantly monitoring foreign conflicts and researching militant insurgencies; I love to keep up to date on everything open source within the intelligence world. In terms of jobs in this field, it may be sour grapes, but I am not sure if I could sleep at night if I worked in intel for my government. I love to make art; some of my other brothers and I collaborate on cartoons, screenplays, and sketches. I love designing a character and making an elaborate Halloween costume every year. I love to create wild, exciting, and vibrant worlds, taking mine and others imaginations into the real world. I love to explore the world, connect with other cultures, and SEE and EXPERIENCE all I can during my short time here. It feels almost as if there's a "perfect career for me" combining all of these interests just sitting on the tip of my tongue. Then there's part of me screaming "Just write on what you've done. Then go do more shit and write! Fuck publications, newspapers, and media corps. Just do your own thing and you'll figure it out!"
​
I write all of this, not necessarily asking for help finding a path (although, PLEASE any input is welcome), but just to share my experience to those who may be in the pits of confusion and hopelessness where I was very recently. Hopefully this can provide at least some solidarity and maybe a little bright flash of hope. I hope that those who are in similar places in their lives as me can read this and feel validated and more comfortable. Those of you who have made it out alive and thriving, hopefully this reminds you of your journey to where you are. And to all of those who failed, well...maybe this can help you feel willing to try it again. We only get this one shot at this, so why not give it our all?
I have no answers or solutions, just my own accounts of my raw experiences and the perspectives they have given me. I guess that's kind of the point of all of this though, right? We are all here to perceive and be perceived. We live in, witness, and are the spectacle! What an absurd, ghastly, and wonderful life we all live! Go live it and experience...you may be on the path you are searching for without even realizing it...
​
Good hunting and rock on everyone. I love you all.

i started therapy during the pandemic due to my frustration with my lack of social life but also because i dont feel like i have a life i enjoy. she is a humanist and i knew that it would be talk therapy instead of cbt (which i also did before twice. i hit plateau with my first therapist, there wasnt much else left to work on since its more symptom focused and the secondtherapist also didnt help me with my frustration regarding friendships so i stopped)..
from my pov, since they always had a more fullfilling life (with relationships), they cant really understand what´s it like to feel bored and have a lack of social connection. they also dont really try to give some guidance regarding. i remember once asking what i could do to socialize more and she just responded "its very subjective and depends on taste"
anyways, i have made very little progress in those 3 years. still no social life, still not happy with my life in general. i did make some internal changes but i wonder if its really due to therapy or if it was just because the pandemic ended and i settled back to my former balanced self.
she seems like a good therapist in some ways, allows me to message her outside of therapy (which i did more of in the beginning but it never felt right, it felt kinda false because its not a friend i am going to) and gives good insight every now and then, but she also said she´s not one to work from the outside but that change happens from within, which is true to some extend... i dont think she grasps my feelings or undestands me completely regarding my main issue. its not healthy for a human to live isolated.
i am really saturated at that point, talking about feelings all the time and consider just doing therapy once a month until i detach and feel fine ended it for good. see what life is like if ur not constantly focused on problemas and angst.
talking about what bothers does help but its not enough. sometimes i feel like i am fooling myself because my life didnt change that much in those years of therapy and talking just gives the ilusion that i am..

I have some questions about what it means to be non binary. I understand its a very personal subject so feel free to ignore it, if you dont want to. Since i am asking some personal questions it seems only fair to share a bit about myself aswell. I am a 26 year old doctor (since 1 year, currently working on the emergency department outside of the US). I identify as male, but have never really thought gender mattered to me. Anyways I am both from my person view of the world and from my profesional position as doctor interested in what it means to be non binary to you. I've gone through some old posts such as these trying to awnser all my questions, but i still have some i would like to ask:
In what way do you feel like gender influences your life? Do you think its possible to live without gender? How does your gender identity influence your life? (some context behind this: i never feel like gender plays an important part of my life. Whenever i hear people refer to gender groups (just boys being boys, the girls go shopping etc) i always kinda cringe and feel uncomfortable. I never really feel like my gender really identifies me as a person at all, and it feels like the least interesting thing about me or anybody else)
Very personal question: a lot of information online refers to body dysmorphia being a diagnostic criterium for being non binary. Do you agree that you must experience some form of body dysmorphia to be able to identify as non-binary or do you disagree?
I often think that in a couple hundred years gender roles will probably disappear, do you think that people will still identify by a gender at that point?
Do you care about what gender you are reffered as? (most people do with "girl" often being used against boys as an insult)
How has identifying yourself as non binary changed your life?
(I am sorry if I offend anybody with this post, I am just very curious about your experiences and how they differ from one another)

using a throwaway account, as some people know my main one. just for context, i am a minor who is still living with their parents.
my relationship with my mom and my stepdad has always been close. theyve been together for years now. mom told me about a month or two ago that her and my stepdad are now an open relationship, since my stepdad considers himself asexual. i didn't ask for other details as its frankly not my business and i didn't care. good for them, right? but now i think its becoming a problem.
it first started getting weird when my mom started getting closer with my bio dad. they never got along and they divorced when I was young. at first I thought they were just on speaking terms again, which is good. but now my mom picks up and drives my dad when he gets drunk. my dad gets drunk and sends weird messages to my mom. my mom entertains it and plays along. i overheard a conversation my mom had with her friends about a sexual encounter my mom and bio dad had. when my mom first told me about their initial interactions, she told me not to tell my stepdad as he would be pissed. i know that my mom and stepdad agree on this open relationship, but hiding secrets from your partner and telling your child to hide them too is weird, right?
last night around 3 am, my mom invited another man over after my stepdad left for work. this bothered our dogs, who started barking. i tried to ignore it, because i thought my mom was gonna handle it. they kept barking, and i had to sit in the living room with the dogs while my mom and this man did whatever they were doing. this made me super upset, because why are you waiting for your husband to leave for work to invite a random home? why am i the one having to take care of the dogs? i eventually told my mom to get rid of the man, because it was unfair to me. this morning, i asked my mom if she was going to tell my stepdad about anything, and she said no.
this open relationship has clearly affected them in negative ways too. they argue a lot more, and they are both noticeably in a bad mood more. i know they agreed on this open relationship, and i wanted to mind my business. but keeping secrets from your husband, telling your kid to keep those secrets, waiting til your husband leaves work to invite a man over and then it bothering your kid, is weird, right? i don't want to cause more dysfunction in the home. i want to talk to my mom about it, but i want to stay in my lane as well. I just want some outside advice on what to do

I (23 F) have been diagnosed with Bipolar, ADHD, and social anxiety for a few years now, starting Sophomore year of college. I never really agreed with the Bipolar diagnosis. I didn't feel like what I had was mania, though I did relate to a cyclical type of depression and periods of higher mood and motivation, not as much with the super fast talking or no sleep. I do get really bad irritability (just in general, but it gets unmanageable when I'm depressed). I'm also very prone to isolation, impulsivity, and rumination, and have avoidant tendencies. Since the start of the year, I've had 3 social outings that lasted a few hours each. I work remotely,and rarely leave my house.
​
For context, I was always very motivated in school and went to a really good university for an engineering degree. I recently graduated and I'm now a Software Engineer. As soon as I started college, the ADHD symptoms and other mental health struggles started taking a toll on my grades, which was really debilitating. At 19, I got on Adderall for ADHD, and was smoking weed heavily, and for a period I was abusing my adderall, which I now greatly regret. At the height of this, I had a bad case of persecutory delusions that were scary as hell. Typical "CIA is after me". I got off adderall for about a year, and it was so hard to feel motivated to do anything, and studying was very difficult. I was still having suspicious thinking, but I was smoking weed a lot less and not taking any stimulants, and it didn't reach a full-blown delusional state.
​
I finally started with a new psychiatrist, and today we had our second visit. I explained that I'm scared to go on an antipsychotic because they can cause cognitive issues and in my career, I can't afford that. He concluded that what I have sounds more like a thought disorder, along with a mood disorder -- He said it possibly could be schizoaffective disorder. He said since Adderall helps a lot, we could switch to Ritalin which has a lower chance of psychosis, and add on Vraylar. He said Vraylar is good for my concern with a lack of motivation, and fear of cognitive decline with other antipsychotics.
​
I'm scared because this thought disorder thing feels spot on. My whole life, my intellect is the only thing I feel has gotten me through life. And now I have this thing that is basically characterized by "illogical thinking". And it's true. In those heightened delusional states, I can feel my mind connecting dots that have no business being connected. And it's getting worse. And Adderall, the thing that feels helpful, may have exacerbated this. I'm only 23, I'm only just starting my Software Engineering career, and the thoughts that "I'm getting dumber" since I was 19 are proving to be true. I'm honestly terrified. I feel unable to function without Adderall, but I'm also scared that I'll just become more psychotic if I keep taking it. What do I do... I've been considering going back and getting my master's in Computer Science because I want to work in AI, but I would feel incapable doing it without Adderall. And now I feel like either way, this "thought disorder" thing will worsen and I won't be able to do any job that requires logical thinking because my brain is just broken. I broke my brain. And I'm only 23. I've always been an intellectually curious person, I feel so hopeless right now like what is the point of living this way?

If you're interested in talking, send me a line about yourself!

My mom had iphone whatsapp and now has s24. I have been able to setup everything fine but whatsapp has been brutal, absolutely brutal.
I got a USB c lightning cable and still having problems. I have tried so many times it's crazy. Yes I have tried WhatsApp Support and tried following their steps. Their support bot is useless.
I keep having to do a factory reset every time on the new android phone because they say whatsapp can't be activated already before t4ansferring.
The problem is that I have new Sim card in new phone, samsung. If I start with cables plugged in smart switch does pickup whatsapp content but then wants a tsv code... how can I get a code when Sim card is in my new phone on one of the first screens no code ever comes...I cannot setup the phone without the Sim in it because it doesn't let you.
If I skip in and do it later. I have tried signing in on iPhone or Android and then trying to move chats from there but it never works. It keeps saying
If I go on iPhone and choose move chats to android it says "continue on your new phone" on the old iphone and says android will let.me.know when I can disconnect but the screen stays forever. It seems like I get close but as soon as I login on one whatsapp it disconnects me from the other.
Please help!!!

Hello all. I (24 F) have never posted on Reddit before but reading these posts is comforting so I figured writing one might help me too. It might even help someone else. To understand this story I have to go back 6 years ago. I was medically discharged from college after attempting to take my own life. It’s not something I talk about very much but I did do several years of therapy. Without getting too in-depth, I had a traumatic childhood and the stress of being at college was too much for me. I gained a significant amount of weight at the end of high school and even more weight my freshman year of college. I had been put on every anti-depressant there was, but never found one that worked for me. My binge-eating was completely out of control, and my low self esteem from the weight gain only fueled my depression. My psychiatrist suggested I start taking adderall. He called it a “radical form of an antidepressant”, as well as a method to control my binge-eating. I was skeptical but willing to try anything. I had lived in a dark hole in my mind for many years now and would try anything to get out. I was started on 30 mg once a day of instant release adderall. It was a god send. I felt in control for the first time in my life. And I was in love with the feeling. I went from laying in my bed all day everyday to hiking for miles and miles. I started going to the gym and it became my sanctuary. And on top of it all, that voice in my head telling me to keep eating was permanently turned off. For 6 months, I was unbelievably happy. I lost 30 pounds. And I felt beautiful for the first time in my life. Everyone was telling me how good I looked and my confidence skyrocketed. I never wanted to lose that feeling. I started noticing that the duration of my adderall “high” was getting shorter and shorter. I began to only take it before I went to the gym, which helped me work out for 3 hours and not feel tired. When I’d get home I’d force myself not to eat even though I was hungry. I was starting to get a tolerance. The euphoric feeling I got when I took my daily dose slowly started to fade away completely. I began taking two 30 mg pills every day; one in the morning to work out and one in the late afternoon to control my hunger. It worked for a while, but man that tolerance catches up quick. Before I knew it was taking three, four pills each day. 120 mg of adderall, and still barely feeling it. Chasing that amazing high I felt years prior. It had taken me a long time to get to this point, but it was taking a toll on me. I started bingeing again despite the medication. And the come down of the adderall was starting to scare me. I would start the day miserable, take a bunch of pills, feeling slightly better for a few hours, and end the day wanting to unalive myself. My breaking point came one day when I felt particularly horrible, spiraling inside my own head down a dark tunnel I could not see out of. I came clean to my boyfriend who I live with that I was misusing my medication and it was going to kill me. I dumped out all of my meds down the toilet and quit cold turkey. I am 13 days clean. Every Reddit post says it takes time to go back to feeling normal, but I was never normal. And my bingeing is more out of control than it ever was. I just binged today again and it feels like I’ll never get over it. The worst part is that I’ve gained all the weight back and I feel disgusting. It’s just not fair. I just want to be normal and not need some pill to not binge. I felt beautiful for the first time in my life. I was healthy. It’s not like I even had abs or became underweight. I looked and felt great. I was eating like a normal person. But I can’t continue living like that and I can’t continue living like this either. I don’t know what to do.

I (23 F) have been diagnosed with Bipolar, ADHD, and social anxiety for a few years now, starting Sophomore year of college. I never really agreed with the Bipolar diagnosis. I didn't feel like what I had was mania, though I did relate to a cyclical type of depression and periods of higher mood and motivation, not as much with the super fast talking or no sleep. I do get really bad irritability (just in general, but it gets unmanageable when I'm depressed). I'm also very prone to isolation, impulsivity, and rumination, and have avoidant tendencies. Since the start of the year, I've had 3 social outings that lasted a few hours each. I work remotely,and rarely leave my house.
For context, I was always very motivated in school and went to a really good university for an engineering degree. I recently graduated and I'm now a Software Engineer. As soon as I started college, the ADHD symptoms and other mental health struggles started taking a toll on my grades, which was really debilitating. At 19, I got on Adderall for ADHD, and was smoking weed heavily, and for a period I was abusing my adderall, which I now greatly regret. At the height of this, I had a bad case of persecutory delusions that were scary as hell. Typical "CIA is after me". I got off adderall for about a year, and it was so hard to feel motivated to do anything, and studying was very difficult. I was still having suspicious thinking, but I was smoking weed a lot less and not taking any stimulants, and it didn't reach a full-blown delusional state.
I finally started with a new psychiatrist, and today we had our second visit. I explained that I'm scared to go on an antipsychotic because they can cause cognitive issues and in my career, I can't afford that. He concluded that what I have sounds more like a thought disorder, along with a mood disorder -- He said it possibly could be schizoaffective disorder. He said since Adderall helps a lot, we could switch to Ritalin which has a lower chance of psychosis, and add on Vraylar. He said Vraylar is good for my concern with a lack of motivation, and fear of cognitive decline with other antipsychotics.
I'm scared because this thought disorder thing feels spot on. My whole life, my intellect is the only thing I feel has gotten me through life. And now I have this thing that is basically characterized by "illogical thinking". And it's true. In those heightened delusional states, I can feel my mind connecting dots that have no business being connected. And it's getting worse. And Adderall, the thing that feels helpful, may have exacerbated this. I'm only 23, I'm only just starting my Software Engineering career, and the thoughts that "I'm getting dumber" since I was 19 are proving to be true. I'm honestly terrified. I feel unable to function without Adderall, but I'm also scared that I'll just become more psychotic if I keep taking it. What do I do... I've been considering going back and getting my master's in Computer Science because I want to work in AI, but I would feel incapable doing it without Adderall. And now I feel like either way, this "thought disorder" thing will worsen and I won't be able to do any job that requires logical thinking because my brain is just broken. I broke my brain. And I'm only 23. I've always been an intellectually curious person, I feel so hopeless right now like what is the point of living this way?

I came back from a few month break from destiny and I can no longer turn on voice or text chat. Turing in on in the social menu puts it on for 0.2 seconds then it goes back to off right away. I really want to be able to do dungeons and raid again but it's not fun at all without chat.. Has anyone else encountered this? I am on Xbox and have reinstalled the game and checked every possible Xbox setting. Other games work fine it is just destiny.

I (22F) have been with my boyfriend for the better part of the year. We’ve been doing long distance but have seen each other every few months. I’m planning on attending an event with him in two months. How do I tell my mom about this?
Background information: I am white and religious. He is Mexican and not religious. We have worked that difference out between ourselves. My mom is extremely religious, strict, and is against interracial marriage. She would not approve of many qualities about him. Additionally he is my first boyfriend so there’s that whole aspect. I live with my parents and if I disappeared for a weekend it would surely raise some questions from my incredibly inquisitive mother. Yes, my dad does know. Also the event is a wedding so if I say I’m going to a wedding with my male friend it would raise some alarm bells in her head.
How do I tell her? Should I just tell her I’m going to the beach with a friend?
