Summary
It’s a Mailbag Monday packed with petty problems and real relationship math. Jared breaks down how to handle a boyfriend who panic-washes dishes the second the fork hits the plate, whether getting uninvited from ✌️ Shivas is actually a dealbreaker, and what to do about a friend who either Venmos down to the penny or “forgets” to pay you back at all!
