Anyone contemplating whether it’s worth maintaining a long distance relationship with their SO or breaking up before school starts? How are you navigating this?

My view is that there will always be better people out there and I don’t have eternity on this planet to meet every person. Time is a scarce resource. Therefore I have a baseline of things that my SO has to have before I commit to them. They’re high but not unreasonable standards, I like to think. Plus it’s important to not require relationships to make me happy, since that puts so much pressure on the SO to perform all the time. I wouldn’t want them to expect me to be the source of all their happiness either, because I’m a person with flaws too. People aren’t perfect.

Rather, it’s about — I’m happy in myself, I enjoy this other person’s companionship, and they challenge and support me to become a better person. I’m better with them than without them.

Depends, do you want to stay together? Is your plans after bschool incongruous with their live plans (eg you want to move to the west coast and they want to stay east?)

People who work in banking, and especially in France, have you ever been badly treated by your colleagues with an attitude as if you’re not even worth a piece of sh** ?

I don’t know if it’s because people in the banks are like this or if it’s because french people are rude. But the way my colleagues behave (fortunately, just some of them, not all) would be considered extremely impolite and uneducated in Asia (where I’m from). Would love to hear some of your opinions about this!

My first therapy appointment tomorrow! I’ve never dealt with depression before having my second kid and my PPD was/is rough! Filling out the intake form I basically had to list out all the things I’ve dealt with - rape, mom issues, death in family during pandemic, kid hit by car, ppd, and a slew of over things… looking forward to working through these things over time, whatever that might look like.

It’s my birthday in a few minutes. 2021 has been a terrible year for me. My marriage ended. It wasn’t a bad end though. We are still close, just not romantic partners anymore. The very first dog I ever had died and I couldn’t go see her because of the quarantine. I didn’t get a promotion that I more than deserved. I don’t think I get paid well. Most of my friends moved out of the city and I’m having to meet new people at 32. I love my job but it’s incredibly stressful. I’m terribly lonely.
