A husband is obsessed with “checking in” on social media and won’t stop even when it causes trouble. BuzzFeed’s Nichole Perkins joins to help with this and other letters!
Also: I was open about my depression on social media and only some of my friends reached out to me—should I stay close with the others?

I’m a balding white man with a shaved head—could people think I’m a skinhead? I want to spend my recent windfall on my kids’ school, but my husband’s already earmarking it for himself. How do I tell my friend I won’t hang out with her if she doesn’t deal with her body odor?
