If your relationship depends on the illusion that everyone else's attraction pales in comparison to that of your boyfriend, I would be pretty concerned. FWIW, my SO knows that I'm attracted to other people as well as them, they just prefer that we don't converse about my other attractions for similar reasons of self-confidence. — LastStar007 1 min ago

You are quite mistaken about your trip to Germany, so I correct your misinterpretation before you spend your money fruitlessly. FKK clubs are not brothels, they do not do sex at all. They are really nudists who enjoy being nude, nothing more. There are clubs which have members who do sex voluntarily, but they are called Swingerclub in German.

Okay, I would suggest editing to better communicate that then, because I would have only guessed that was your question if all I read was the title. The entire body of the question makes it seem like you can handle correcting them well, and that you understand that you cannot realistically prevent accidental misgendering, but you want people to know how much it hurts when they do.

ok, sorry, sometimes it's very difficult to assume good intentions. From the exchange we had so far you seem like a "Do-Gooder" who is not capable of doing something society considers bad or even if you will do it you're going to feel guilty about it. I'm not that kind of person, I have my own moral code, I'm perfectly fine with what I do, I don't think paying for sex is bad and I absolutely don't feel guilty.

Why are your sleep habits inconveniencing her? Unless you are trying to drag her away from parties because they are too late for you, what cause does she have to want you to conform to what she wants? This has nothing to do with people being "emotional" at night, which as far as I know, isn't even a thing. It sounds like she wants to talk to you when everyone else she knows has gone to bed.

If you have a question and it gets closed and deleted, that's usually a sign that it's a bad fit for this site. I understand that your grandmother is having issues but perhaps you need to find another solution than just getting them to respond faster. For example, why are stuck with email communication at all? Why are you talking to the department instead of the professor?

@Sentinel From looking around this site almost every question here can be answered by "Why don't you just" followed by something simple. The devil is in the details.

What kind of distance are you trying to achieve? Ending the friendship entirely? Or just to the point where you don't really hang out, but still talk when you run across each other? How quick do you want this process to be, how honest do you want to be with her? Are you open to confronting her on the matter and severing all ties, or would this be a no-go? Are there any cultural practices we need to take into account on the matter (e.g. are you expected to give Amy more leeway because of her mental problems?

The reason I couched it in terms of one's own feelings is that it avoids an argument over it where both sides feel separately valid from their own perspectives. Your feelings are your own, and anyone who says you must feel differently than you are saying you do feel is engaging in a form of gaslighting. — taswyn 2 mins ago

@snart Why not? You can say you went to taste the food. What are you going to say when they ask for photos or the name of the town or hotel? I think you basically just need to say you spent the whole time pretty much indoors trying out all the facilities. If they ask what it was like you just "Ah different in very major but hard to describe ways. The Germans do everything SO different, it is very subtle.

The purpose of the Stack Exchange network is to create high quality Q&A that will be useful in the future. Helping any specific person is just a side effect of that, not the main goal. — Rainbacon 1 min ago

HI, bookcrazy, welcome to Interpersonal Skills Stack Exchange. I don't think this really answers the OP's question; they want to know how to talk to the person, and they're asking about how to apply interpersonal skills to the situation at hand. Your answer doesn't really do that; can you perhaps edit it to make it better? Thanks. — HDE 226868 ♦ 1 min ago

@Tinkeringbell Sure, it was just a toss-out to illustrate how a scope change would change the nature of questions and answers. I seem to recall a rather good question from you which was not etiquette related and very much fit the SE format. — Harper 18 secs ago
