Women how would you react to this- I’m talking to a woman with a child. Really into her and we seem to be really compatible. I told her today that I wanted to take care of both her and her child, I invited her and her child out on my boat to go tubing and more. Continue in comments

Want to buy lingerie for my wife to spice things up. Never done it before. We’ve been together for almost 15 years and have two kids (one born this June). Any suggestions?

Please respond if interested in attending

Had a second baby almost a year ago now and just can’t get back into work mode. I used to be a workaholic and now can’t find any motivation in my current job. Most of it is probably sleep deprivation and feeling like I don’t have any time to myself anymore, plus burnout. Anyone go through this after having kids? How long did it last? I don’t have the option of simply quitting, but contemplating switching to a true 9-5, no-stress job, possibly out of law, while they’re young. But that’s scary.

Are there any mothers here who voluntarily gave primary custody to the kids father? I love my children fiercely but tbh I don’t think I’m cut out to be a single parent. Family and friends tell me I’m a great mom but at the end of the day having them on my own is exhausting and I end up just either letting them do whatever they want Bc I don’t feel strong enough to set a limit about it, or yelling at them. They’re 4 and 7 for reference. Please constructive responses only. Thank you!

Where did you meet your SO?

Anyone finding it increasingly difficult to participate in huge family zoom calls? I feel bad for “missing” calls but I can’t handle talking w/ extended fam that sans covid I wouldn’t talk to but 1/yr

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

Currently have a 5th grade girl who is struggling with classroom behaviors and choices. When questioned, she says she wants to be a boy, but her parents won’t allow it. Obviously, she is struggling with more than making good choices at school. Her parents are very kind and appreciative of all we do for their child, but they are also clearly struggling with this. Anyone ever been in a similar situation or have some advice on how we can best support the student?

Would you hesitate to hire someone due to typos on a business plan? My resume is spotless, & I come highly recommended by management and peers for the position. This week has been absolutely exhausting, and long story short, I noticed I misspelled “Houston” as “Huston” on the FIRST PAGE of my business plan.. TWICE!! 😩 I can’t believe I let that happen during such a critical interview. It was spelled correctly everywhere else, but it just looks sloppy. I am worried I am not going to get the job.

Ex who dumped me abruptly before I planned on proposing reached out and wants to meet up 6 months later to try to get back together. I feel mostly anger towards her. Bad idea to accept and meet up

Should I take my girlfriend back after she drunkenly kissed a random guy at a bar?
We were at a bar with friends and I left the bar because I was ready to go home. She stayed with friends and I later found out that she kissed a random guy and her friend had to break it up. We are 3 months in and I feel betrayed. She has assured to me that it was not cheating and just a mistake. She loves me and wants to stay together and swore to do better. I’m torn because I feel like all trust is gone.

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 have a crush on my counsellor at work. She's much older but still really gracious and beautiful. Should I go for it or is this a bad idea?

** 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?

For those of you who are married, how much did you spend on your wedding and was it worth it? Looking back, what are the things you realized didn’t matter / wasn’t worth the spend?

Doing a little reflecting and I realized I've always fumbled opportunities with potential dates. Either I didn't make a move when I should have, or I waited too long and the moment passed. Any advice to prevent this?

I loved this woman. We kinda ended up falling apart, i really miss her. Making some effort and talking might resolve and we could get back together. She said we can give another shot. Pros: she is a good person, cute, smart. Cons: temper issues, big spender and money management issues. I couldn’t move on but couldn’t make a decision. Any advise is appreciated.

The person I’m seeing has been responding to my texts days later (only a recent development) and it’s making me anxious. They have been busy the past two weeks with PhD exams and their last message was them planning when they could see me again (in a really flirty way too), so logically I know the delay is not a sign of disinterest. But I have an anxious attachment style (if that’s not obvious) and my therapist is on leave right now, so I’m struggling. Do any of you have any advice?

Hi all, when do y’all think is a good time to have the “what are we”/“are we exclusive” talk? After how many dates?

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.
