Anybody struggling with fellow associates in big law? Currently working with associates that will stab you in the back at all costs and don’t care about building friendships, etc. This environment is mentally draining and I feel like I am an outlier for being kind. Truly shows that nice people finish last.

Where to start. Sitting here contemplating life after a sixer and wondering why I keep getting to this place. I make my family scared of me and push my wife and kids farther away while I think everything is ok.I can stop drinking when I need to focus on work, but when things get out of control I just drink it away. Tired of this cycle but unsure where to turn, but I know if I continue down this path it won’t be good. I am a vet and think I have PTSD, but turn to the bottle when needed

Those of you with roommates, how cautious are you being around each other? Do you accept that things are out of your control or do you disinfect everything?

32 M Los Angeles. Indian. I like going on walks, trying different foods, and traveling. Hope to get married sometime this year, iA. If you are interested let me know.

has anyone here ever ended up happily with someone they weren’t quite sure about initially? i’m pretty happy when i’m with my s/o but we have the most random/dumb hiccups that drain me. we don’t fight - it’s just him doing dumb things like not explaining things properly which causes misunderstandings 🫠

Ladies - I am trying to understand a situation I have no experience in so I’m looking to learn here. I have a friend who recently had a baby. Although limited, she posts pictures on Instagram (private account) of herself and the baby but all with the baby’s face blurred out or an emoji covering the baby’s face. I don’t understand this at all. Why post the picture at all then

I hope he’s in as much pain as I am. The way he ended it was so cold and selfish and unlike how he was any other time with me. It was like a personality switch. I’ve never been so wrong about someone. I’m not sure how to process or recover from that part of it.

Never gave up on my hubby when we were dating - just divorcing the firm for the health of our relationship 😂

My partner is a lawyer with ADHD, diagnosed as an adult, and about eight years into our 11 year relationship. We're working on him articulating how his brain works, and I want understand his experience as best I can.

What's the one thing you wished your (non-ADHD) spouse/partner understood about living with ADHD?

How do you get over the fact that your
bf (who is super active on social media
and USED to post you without you
asking) just never does it anymore?
You don't suspect him of cheating or
anything like that, he just doesn't think
to do it anymore. I don't want our
fights to be around social media, and
honestly am embarrassed even typing
out this post, but it’s been on my mind lately.

What are some of the best books you've read for relationship advice?

I share a birthday with a sibling, which I love because it's a reason to be together and because I don't much care about my own birthday anyway. My mom has always made the cake they want, since they're a picky eater. This year I told her (again) that I don't like that, and my husband backed me up during the convo, and she's making an effort to make me a birthday cake I'll really love!! We haven't always had a great relationship and it means a lot to me that she's trying. 🥺

Is it unreasonable to expect your SO to walk with you on the sidewalk? My SO always walk faster than me. When I brought it up their excuse was that’s how I grew up.

How do y’all manage to keep in touch with friends and family. I spend atleast 6-7 hours talking to everyone over the weekend, and am burned out even before the week begins.

Salary for Senior II in DC in digital advisory?

Hi! First off, I know none of this constitutes legal advice, etc., but I’d like some outside perspectives and advice here.

My wife found out she makes ~25% less that her male co-worker did when he was her level of seniority, and they have the same job responsibilities and the exact same credentials (same undergrad, masters program, etc.); he now makes 50% more than she does, but has 3 more years of WE, so to me that’s not as applicable.

Does she have a claim here? Need any other details?

When you are involved in an agile transformation for a client, do you prioritize advancing the agile maturity or driving the project to successful completion? Sometimes it feels like these things are mutually exclusive, or I need to wear multiple hats and go beyond “agile coach”.

Do you think it's easier to date other people in law vs trying to date outside of it?

Took three days off to be with my wife while she stays at the hospital to visit her mom, who just had a stroke. It’s sad that I even considered whether I should take time off but earlier on in my career I definitely wouldn’t have, so hopefully my priorities are getting straightened out. For those of you debating whether to take the time off, trust me, take it.

My partner is a resident and will be applying to fellowships next year. The best programs for his speciality are not in our state, but there are 2 quality and reputable ones in our state. If we leave our state, I will have to take another bar exam and potentially join him later until I find a job. We would also both be very far from family. Is it selfish of me for wanting to stay in our state?I want him to go to the best program, but uprooting my career and taking a whole new bar exam is a lot.

Hey fellow attorneys! I am a second year attorney who has recently accepted a job within a firm that I am absolutely ecstatic about. However, my first year of practice was highly supervised and I was given no cases of my own (Always worked the cases with major supervision and micromanaging by partners in my previous firm). I am worried about being able to do solo cases individually and whether I know enough to be in charge of cases. Anyone else experienced this? Or have any advice? Thank you!

Jury selection should be abolished. If we are really supposed to try cases amongst the plaintiff's/defendant's peers, then why the hell are we as lawyers allowed to pick and choose. Cont
