I am very interested in your SO (the one with net worth of $20M). How close are you two? Is your SO looking to explore other options, by any chance?
LOLOLOL

No, we didn't sign a prenup. Technically, half of his asset is mine, but I don't view it that way - I didn't ask any lawyer how it works either. We've been together for long and trust each other. His properties are still under his name.

congrats girl- you are living the dream!

If you don’t socialize with friends, what do you do for fun when you are not working?

I read your responses and you are very self assured and balanced. I understand what you mean about friends. I have some but in true definition not many. Its great you have a SO with a significant net worth yet you maintain your own independence. You are living the dream and doing the work to maintain it. Cheers to you!

How rich are your parents? What education do you have? How did you get to your job position and what is it exactly?

My parents are poor. My mom was a single mom and couldn't meet her ends. I graduated from a top 10 uni and have top MBA though. I'm just in some boring strategy job and got the job like anyone else - application..

What’s your job?

My company is not a top tier one. If someone joins one of the top ones, they can pay $300-400K in the market. Some context: I'm based in California; I have MBA; I'm ~35 yo already. $200K is really not that high given those factors.

Is your lack of friends by choice or by circumstance?
Do you have siblings?
What do you do for social interaction?

I’m like you both OP and C1. I have one close friend, who I’ve known since hs. It’s work, but the key is we communicate our issues, we both hold each other accountable for our toxic behaviors, and neither of us are intentionally cruel like your friend.

Have you been to therapy?

I have.

Don't take my notes as I stay in my house and don't talk to anyone. I do meet people regularly haha. I'm actually going for a house warming party tonight. Different people have different definitions for friends I guess. I don't have those kinds of friends to travel together, go shopping, stay at each other's place. But of course I grab food with others, catch up over brunch, attend others' birthday parties, etc.

I view friends as a plus for life, not a must have for my life.

What is your motive behind sharing your NW/details on fishbowl?

I'm in corporate strategy. My SO is a regional general manager of a mid-sized company (not his own company), but I think he may transition to work in his family business a couple of years down the road.

If you had friends what would you want to do with them?

This sounds like a lot of fun. I’d be your friend

One of the biggest resume mistakes I see is focusing solely on job duties. Yes, you should include relevant responsibilities, but you should frame them in a way that highlights your skills. And include achievements wherever possible. Quantify them if you can. A good way to frame them is "Achieved X by doing Y."

Just found out that my favorite aunt, who claimed I was her “favorite” niece, chose to leave all her valuables to her other two nieces who never visited or called her once in the last ten years. My aunt passed away suffering from cancer last year and didn’t have her own kids. I was there by her side throughout her battle. I still wish I had done more, made her life easier. I probably sound petty, but a part of me is forcing me to re-evaluate every interaction I ever had with her.

My SO lied about the scar on his fist. I never ask about the story behind it but he initiated the conversation and said it was from the boxing club.

I’m not sure if I’m overthinking or if this is a major red flag that shows his personality.
