Hey Man,

I’m 40 years old and married to a wonderful woman. We’re compatible in many ways, but completely disagree about Christmas. I’m an atheist and she, while not being religious, loves Christmas. She came from a big Christian family and wants to carry on all of those traditions. Christmas music is playing after Thanksgiving, there are decorations, a tree, cookies, ugly sweaters, tons of cheap presents, holiday parties, traditions with old friends, the whole thing. I hate it. I hate the materialism and consumerism of it, I look at our country and see how it’s run by Christians and resent the influence they have over all of us. I want out! I also see how much it hurts my wife that I’m such a bad sport but I viscerally feel this. I wish we could be married for 11 months out of the year and I could just hibernate in December. What do I do?

Hey Man,

I’m 24 years old and a little over a year ago, I got an office job after working at restaurants after college. The culture is very bro-ey (which is fine, I can fit in) and there’s a lot of good-natured teasing. But last month something happened and it’s making me want to leave this job. A few weeks ago, I completely slept through my alarm clock. I woke up to tons of texts from my office and panicked - I lied and said my mom had an emergency and I was helping her with it. I ended up calling out that day, came in the next day and seemingly everything was fine. Then, at our office Christmas party, management was handing out awards for the year. I expected to get one because I worked my ass off and was really disappointed when I was passed over. Then they gave out joke awards and I got “Most Likely to Skip Work.” People were laughing and someone even said, “How’s your mom?” as if they knew I was lying. I was completely mortified. I had even brought my girlfriend and she could tell I was pissed. I don’t know what to do. I feel so betrayed by these guys and embarrassed, I just want to look for a new job. This is not the first time they’ve done something that I felt crossed a line, but it feels like the last straw. What do you think? Should I stay or should I go?
