After I joined the force I noticed some people I considered friends have slowly distanced themselves from me. Anyone else go through something similar?

Sort of. I just figured they must not have been my real friends to begin with in that case

Not really any friends. But my family has definitely made some comments, especially at the holidays when we are all together! I've learned how to redirect those conversations pretty well though

Getting over heartbreak and having a full time job is torture lol. My boyfriend and I just broke up after almost a year of being together.

My body hurts, my stomach is in knots, my head hurts. How is it that I have to mend a broken heart but also meet my billable hours lmao

Been with my GF since college and we recently hit the 4 year mark. 1-2 years into our relationship I found out she had instances of micro-cheating (flirting with guys, talking to ex’s etc - but nothing physical) and we addressed it. To her credit and my knowledge, she’s been apologetic and great at respecting boundaries since, but I still feel the pain from her actions years ago (and have talked to her about it). Feeling lost about whether to just leave or to try and work things out
