Among them is that she is &#8220;a time hog&#8221; and schedules video calls with her partner every weekend. She is also &#8220;rude and gives unsolicited advice a lot.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;She thinks she\u2019s the expert on EVERYTHING.

She\u2019s obsessed with getting free things off Facebook and always tries to give my partner things.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;I have anxiety issues in general and overthink a lot so maybe these things won\u2019t even happen.
