My friend asking me to read their story. How should I respond?

You can start by showing interest. Say something like 'That sounds really interesting, tell me more!'.

Just listen attentively and show your interest. Maybe ask a few relevant questions to show you're engaged.

If you don't like it, be honest but kind. You could start with something positive, like 'I really liked how creative you were with the setting.' Then gently mention the parts that didn't work for you. For example, 'I had a bit of trouble following the plot in some places.'

Talk to your wife first. Find out what was borrowed and why she let your friend borrow it without consulting you. Then, depending on the item and the situation, you can decide whether to have a friendly chat with your friend about respecting your relationship and asking in the future.

You could tell her directly that you are not comfortable with this kind of topic and ask her not to bring it up again.

If a friend posts an article praising my breakfast shop, you can refer to the following response: Thank you for your compliments. We are proud to provide our readers with a delicious breakfast. However, we also hope that we can continue to improve and improve the service quality to bring a better experience to more readers. I hope that we can continue to maintain friendly cooperation and create more beautiful memories together.

This is completely inappropriate behavior. You should firmly tell your hubby that this is unacceptable and goes against moral and relationship boundaries.

If you want to handle it more gently, you could say that you don't understand what she means by that and ask her to clarify in a more family - friendly way. Like 'I'm not sure what you're asking for. Can you rephrase it in a different way?' This gives her a chance to correct herself if it was a misunderstanding on her part.

Share more about the topic of the story if you feel like it. Maybe add some interesting details that you didn't include before. You could also be a bit humorous in your response to make the conversation more fun and engaging. For instance, if she commented on your pet in the story, you could tell a funny anecdote about your pet.

If you're feeling a bit confused or even a bit uncomfortable, you can ask her what she really means. Maybe there's a misunderstanding or she has some deeper message that she wants to convey through this strange statement.
