A friend opened up to me about her extra marital interest/dilemma surrounding that interest. She realizes her pattern due to some underlying issue she needs to resolve and is seeing a therapist, yet whenever we talk she goes into details related to this guy and about her dilemma. I have listened to her for 3 months and weighed in where I could, and I care about HER and her mental health. But if ask about her mental health she goes into stories about this dude. How do I establish my boundary? 🙏🏼

I need advice. I met an amazing guy on a dating app. We talked for 4 months and most of the convo was sexual. I fell so hard for him and it was because when we met up in person he was so kind, caring, and respectful towards me. He never initiated conversation with me first, but if I messaged him, he would respond back immediately. Then after 4 months he ghosted me on the app we were talking on. I texted him and he told me he had a gf. I am completely heartbroken. What kind of behavior was this?

I recently received and official infertility diagnosis. My insurance has a $10k lifetime max for IVF/IUI treatments. I just received the financials from my IVF doctors office, it’s not pretty. I don’t want to go broke trying to conceive. What are some creative ways any of you have come up with to pay for the cost of the procedures, testing, medication, etc? Has anyone traveled outside the US for treatment?

Hi 🐟 I just moved up to Montreal area from the US. Any ideas on how to make new friends here. I'm a bit intimidated as I don't speak French. Any tips would be appreciated

I lost a baby at full term pregnancy (no genetic cause) and we are ready to plan for a second one. I am wanting to go through IVF because the genetic testing would rule out any bad surprises that could come later and also my husband and me are carriers for AMD. I am lost where to even start from. Would I need a referral for IVF? Will I be paying all the cost? My husband’s company has a plan but I don’t know if we would need to qualify?

Home for Christmas. My mom just told me my dad was diagnosed with some rare blood condition last week where your bone marrow stops producing enough new blood cells. More tests later this week, but until then no one else knows and we aren’t talking about it because dad doesn’t want to and they don’t want my grandma to know. Getting stoned in my old room because I don’t know what the fuck else I’m supposed to do right now. Yay!

This is the longest I’ve gone without any sexual activities with another person. I’m dying.

Any women here struggle with hemmroids after a vaginal birth?

If so, did you see a colorectal surgeon to get them tied or remediated after pregnancy? I am sure they are here because I am pregnant and had them bad on first pregnancy around 32 weeks.

When people say to “be consistent” with workouts, I get that part of it is showing up and putting in the effort. But is the other part sticking with the same type of workout routine or is it ok to mix it up? (Think biking one day, gym another, walk or jog another). Goal is to lose weight and get toned (27 F). With the gym, is it better to stick with the same basic exercises each time or make more diverse workout plans?

I'm not showing yet, but the idea of people touching my belly in the future freaks me out. Is there a way to handle unwanted touching (without being rude)?

30 m ny/nj. US citizen. Moved as a teenager. INTJ. Single since I figured I’m not fighting the biological clock and have all the time in the world to meet someone and get settled. Things changed after I watched Akshay’s mom (Indian Matchmaking) tell him even 25 is too late and not marrying somehow messes up lives of people around him. While the show was staged, there might be truth to the latter part.
Looking for F in ny/nj. Personality: NOT Aparna. NOT Nadia but def more Nadia than Aparna.🙏

What is the average salary range for a project manager with 3 years experience at a hospital network? Thinking more corporate / overall level.

Been with a girl for few months, really enjoyed moments that we shared together and barely got into any fights. But, somehow somewhat, I don’t see that we share the same vision in our career path. She wants to settle for administration roles while I want work & travel to multiple countries, really hard for her to find those opportunities within her current roles. I like her personality a lot but I feel like really hard to share interesting topics/ my works with her. Any advice please?

What are your thoughts on personalized resume writing services? I’m considering hiring one of these to stand out in the search of a new job.
My resume looks good (1 page, bullet points on achievements, direct language, etc), but I feel I’m not getting as many interviews as my experience would enable.

I can't find a really interesting bowl here.

Does anyone know or be interested in an open-source bowl, for example?

Please suggest me good bowls 🙏

Why is it so hard to join a group ? My boyfriend has his group of friends (both males and females) but every time we hang out with them, I feel left out because I don’t have history with them and they all have their inside jokes and stories. He said I need to try more to interact with them but honestly I feel like certain friends mostly his female bestie is trying to not include me. I’ve tried to become friends with her but she’s not putting in effort to get to know me … I need advice.

** Really need your advise**
So my gf 26 and I 27 (m) broke up a month back. We booked a concert long time ago and that’s up next week. Our breakup was mutual but this girl is special. I have tried over and over again to rekindle but she said it’s done. The concert is next week and I really want her there. Should I ask her one last time or should I let her go?

I’m a 28 year old male, living with gf. I think I’ve got covid - very feverish, cough, hot and cold sweats, pains etc. When I get sick I turn into a massive baby - definition of “man flu”. Is this a massive problem for women (ie a big turn off)? Luckily I only get sick once every 2-3 years, but this feels awful and I’m being a massive sook and I can’t help it lol…

I've been with my gf for almost 6 months now. For context she's still in grad school (we have a 2 year age gap) and I'm struggling to feel physically attracted to her. I have a good job, decent amounts of stress, I like to work out, spend time with friends, and am very outgoing. She's super sweet, kind, sensitive, and brilliant. I find her attractive but I find the fact that she's always up in my business and available to me unattractive. She also just got an amazing job in another state (1/2)

I (33M) got booted from Bumble for "promoting social media". I do not even have social media and I can't stand seeing Instagram or TikTok in a girl's bio - it's an instant turn off - so why would I do it?

Anyone have experience fighting a ban? Bumble was really the only app I liked.

I split with my BF a year ago (his decision) after four years together (off and on). In your opinion, should all ties be cut? I’m struggling to tell him to stop contacting me.

A friend of mine told me I should have Narcan on hand for my boyfriend who does coke sometimes. I'm firmly against it. He knows I hate when he does it and I don't want the emotional weight of carrying it around in my purse. Like, if he's going to do that, he should carry his own damn Narcan. Am the asshole? She thinks I'm being cruel since it can be lifesaving and you can get it for free.

Has this ever happened to you that each time you meet your bf/gf , there is extreme nervousness from both sides ? It’s a good kind of nervousness (shyness , awkwardness) and almost feels like meeting someone you have known forever for the first time?

Help - want to propose to the GF soon. I wanna buy a nice ring possibly as a surprise, but have no clue about the steps of this thing. What's the proper sequence (this is my first guess).

1. Ask her parents
2. Discuss about the ring/stone etc?
3. Buy the actual ring
4. Plan a surprise proposal

For added context, we already discussed the wedding and also possibly going for lab diamonds.

TIA for your help 🙏

How do you know if someone likes you in the beginning of dating? I met this guy online who I thought was cute and we went on a few dates. He always texted me right after the date and always initiates another date right after or within a day. He’s been sweet to me (ie when I was packing for a trip, he noticed there’s dirty dishes in the sink and he just started washing them for me) but he never texts in between dates and doesn’t really initiates much physical contact (he reciprocates when I do)

When did you move in with your partner? Is it a good idea to suggest this if they haven’t even told their family about me? I feel like the answer is no but we basically spend every night with each other anyways. Been officially dating for 5 months, less serious for just over a year now

How much do you spend for your partner’s birthday?

A girl (she’s 22/23) in my condo is showing keen interest in me. I’m 31M, single and feel this will be a disaster to proceed with. It’s not like that I hate her or something. I just never thought about her.

Also just recovered from a bad breakup after 7+ years of relationship.

Need some advice on engagement ring. Should I spend 30k on a natural diamond or 10k on a lab grown diamond? Any advice/opinions are appreciated. Thanks all

My step in laws are TERRIBLE. Not directly to me but family dynamic is stressful. They parent their youngest kid with pills and ignoring him, so that he does inappropriate things around me with zero correction (walking in on me, insulting me). They are all half siblings (4 boys 30-11) so they all don’t care including my partner. FIL also verbally abuses MIL in front of us. Yet they all want to please him constantly. It’s just bad.

Food was good though.
