On This Week's Feedback Friday:

• A professional acquaintance has been giving you mixed signals — complimenting your appearance, making wildly inappropriate sexual comments, and monopolizing your time at events. Then you learned he might've been using you to make his ex jealous. How do you confront a creep without burning your network?
• Your friend Mary — practically a grandmother figure — is spiraling after her husband's affair. The other woman is harassing her, possibly killed her dog, and Mary attempted suicide but refuses all help. You're still grieving your own dad. How do you support someone who won't let you in?
• Your boyfriend is the "best employee" at his job, yet his boss won't commit to a salary number after two months. Worse, he discovered he's been illegally denied sick pay since 2020 under New York law. Should he fight for what's owed and risk retaliation — or stay quiet and hope for the best?
• Recommendation of the Week: Bartender for Mac
• Your father lost millions in 2008 and has spent 17 years chasing entrepreneurial pipe dreams while refusing therapy. He's 62, unemployed, and relying on you and your brother for hope he can't generate himself. Should you buy him a car for Uber — or is that just enabling the fantasy?
