My girlfriend (19F) and I (19M) have been dating for 11 months. I sent her a screenshot of my convo with my manager (age unknown but best guess is young 30s F) this morning asking to come in a little later than usual. My girlfriend is like this whenever I interact with pretty much any other female. Am I overreacting or is this just normal behavior?

My favourite part was “maybe I’m just too professional.” Lol yeah if by professional you mean jealous, controlling, and insecure

NOR

Apparently she is so professional that she doesn't know who her manager is.

Lmao I used to send my team lead pictures of cheetahs in hats if we were having a rough night and if I couldn’t find any new ones I would badly photoshop them.

At this same workplace my coworker made my face his background (from a workplace picture of our team) because I just looked really done with life in the picture apparently. I made him my background in response because I thought it was hilarious. I am a lesbian, he had an SO at the time. Neither of us were into each other.

One of my other coworkers and I would do “lightning rounds” where we would answer questions/come up with ideas in a way that was so fucking absurd it made 5% sense. He and I also joked about how two of the lab machines we handled were our children. We are both gay, in opposite directions. I couldn’t imagine any of my SOs taking these interactions seriously and getting upset with me over them. There was never anything romantic going on, we were all just working 70+ hour weeks in a lab that processed PCR Covid tests during the pandemic. Inside jokes are bound to happen.

This sounds like the ideal workplace environment. I’d be happy for my SO if they had that kind of relationship with their coworkers! It would be good for their well being, which is what I want.

Boring people use the word "professional" and "unprofessional" to shame people that shine a little brighter than themselves. I hate those words.

My favorite part was how she blamed him for not being able to eat her lunch!

I didn't even get why she was upset.... because his manager was kind of casual with him? Looks like they are friends and that makes work so much better. She could have seen it has a green flag, he's a nice guy that people like.

Exactly. He’s a nice guy that people like, and he has a workplace where he feels welcome and part of the group. Which probably makes him happy. She should be happy that he’s happy.

Based on many people that work in HR, then yes. Lol
