Not sweethearts but were casual friends who reconnected at our 10yr reunion. She drunkenly slipped her number in to my breast pocket, we celebrated our 18yr wedding anniversary three weeks ago. Careers are strong, got three exceptional kids, gonna BBQ and drink margaritas outside tonight. Life is good!

Almost high school sweethearts . . .

We met during college freshman orientation and started dating right away. Only dated each other in college, got engaged middle of our junior year, and married seven days after we were graduated (promised our parents we’d wait until after we had our degrees).

Next year will be our 25th wedding anniversary and loving our life together.

I know people have different opinions about marrying young and being on your own before you settle down. For us, we were kids and we built a life together. Because we became adults, attached, there is nothing that can drive us apart. We grew and evolved together so we can handle any thing thrown at us.

Just celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary a month ago and hit 18 years together this month!

We started dating before senior year of high school and then went to the same college for undergrad. Did long distance for a few years while she was in medical school and I was starting my professional career in a different city. She then matched to residency in the city where I was working, so we bought a house and lived together for a few years before finally getting married when she finished residency. We now have one kid with a second on the way!

Question about inclusion…. I’ve been teaching inclusion for 5 years so I’m still a newb, but a first year coworker of mine said she got points off on her observation because her kids were scattered in the classroom and she was having to move from kid to kid to assist. While I see the point of putting them together for convenience, I don’t agree with this at all! To me this is like singling them out by putting them all together instead of INCLUDED amongst peers. What do y’all think?

This is a question about friendships. Two friends got into a really bad fight this past weekend. They have each asked me to hang out this weekend. What do I do? I don’t want to have to choose sides. One is a friend I’ve known a little longer and has been a good friend and so she would feel betrayed and angry if she knew I were still friends with her now-enemy. The other I’ve known less longer, but we seem more compatible. Advice??

My aunt recently passed away, leaving behind 2 young girls (16 and 12 years old). I’m trying my best to be there for them and pray for them, and have been asking people to pray for them as well. Until I started question what is the point of asking people to pray for them? I know God hears my prayers, so why do we ask people to pray ?

Do you think you and your significant other should have similar personalities? My significant other and I are doing long distance and I feel like when I FaceTime with him, I emote more and show interest by asking more questions but from his end, he doesn’t always have a reaction or just nods, and it makes me feel like he’s uninterested. On his end he sees it as he’s comfortable.

Moving to San Diego in the spring from the central coast. Any recs on places to live (late 30’s with a kid)? Want to be close to restaurants and things to do, but a little too old and tired for gas lamp!

I’ve had to step away from social media for my own mental sanity as I have a major issue with comparing myself to peers when it comes to life stages. (Single female, 34, never married, no male prospects, dog mom.) As a result, I feel like I’m doing a disservice to myself professionally as social media is a HUGE communication channel. Any advice on staying away or including it in my life in healthy ways?
