Is anyone having second thoughts about their current relationship?

In case anyone would like to spare themselves a heart attack stroke and possibly spreading Covid to a large group of people as you run around screaming for help. If you child goes missing and doesn’t respond to you calling her name despite screaming it at the top of your lungs 50 times check under the blankets her room. She could be a very sound sleeper and entirely huddled under the blanket on the floor. Also don’t trust your 12 year old to check under the blanket either before calling 911.

As a young married couple, my wife and I find it difficult to make friends. Either we befriend single young people or similar couples who are older/farther along in life. Any one else have this issue?

My ex husband was an extrovert and alcoholic. He went out with drinking buddies or anyone who would join him several times a week. We grew apart. Why is love so blind? It should have been obvious...

Is it bad to spend time with your SO every weekend? We’re both busy during the week so weekends are the only time we get

At this moment, I am almost depressed. I am in a relationship with this guy for 2 years now. In the past 2 years, we have fought more than we have lived days with peace. We both have high ego problems because of which it’s really hard to resolve a conflict. Things have recently escalated to calling names/swearing and even physically abuse from both sides. We both want to end the relationship, have tried so many times, but we cannot.

Fasting 🐠: how do you deal with invites to go out to eat when fasting? Today had "lunch" with friend (she ate/I didnt) - made her uncomfortable I wasn't eating. But I hate "eating for show". How to not make others feel uncomfortable?

Feeling a deep void in close human connection after letting go a relationship that was lacking a future (I was interested in something more, he was unsure). Can’t stop thinking of reaching out and need strength to just stay with the loneliness and have hope for the better times. Would appreciate support. It’s been 2 weeks but I feel bouts of extreme sadness and desire to have someone to share my life and days with.

Any tips for helping a (male) SO / spouse through depression?

I have a connection who until recently included the following in her “about” section:
Single mom of 2 teenaged sons.
Tattooed CPA.

I feel like the world has gone crazy.

I am so, so sad right now. I can’t call any of my friends because of the time zone but truthfully i don’t want to have to explain or face the judgement either. I can’t stop crying. I’m so sad, and I know eventually I’ll be ok but this moment feels like the lowest point ever. I hate myself so much for being so sad and that’s the last thing I need. I wish I could have a hug and for someone to tell me I’m fine and that I’ll be ok

We're about to have our first child and my wife and I are both as prepared as we can possibly be and panicking about anything we may have forgotten. What do you wish you knew before becoming a working parent in law?

I'm the hiring mgr for designers in my org. I recently discovered pay band information given to me by the HR generalist I'm working with on hiring was outdated and updated bands had been released over the summer (prior to my hire date). The outdated information had led me to believe a prime candidate was out of range. Aside from incompetence, can anyone think of a reason why HR might have withheld information about the pay bands? I assume mgrs see the full monty when it comes to pay...right?

As an expat, I went on the Degiro for investing at the moment, since the account can be used from all countries.

Have any tips?
