My husband makes about 1/3 of what I make.
It's never been an issue. His schedule is lighter than mine and he helps out around the house or goes to the grocery store or does the laundry. He plans most of the trips we take so I don't have to. We contribute in different ways.

I dated a Jr. High School teacher whose income was almost half of mine. He was the most emotionally intelligent, patient and secure person I’ve ever dated and it was probably the best relationship I had as an adult. But I blew it bc I was young and wanted the whole “power couple” vibe.

We never had issues with money or spending, but I was too into societal norms so that impacted our relationship.

I have not (most times we’re equal) but the cases where I have seen it be a problem for others is when the spending habits didn’t match the income and the breadwinner started to feel taken advantage of. (I know this falls on both sides of it not mattering if it’s a man or a women but women tend to be more giving so we expense out more than men).

I'm in my last semester of school. Over the summer, I had a portfolio review where the creative director recommended not to use fun or popular brands.

Alternatively, what products and brands are you tired of seeing? For instance, my professors say condoms and hot sauce are a no.

I got to know someone thru work, and flirted a bit over 1 week. Then we never spoke again because of work geography. He reached out this week after 9 months+ asking for a visa sponsor to take a vacay in my country (given mobility restriction these days), and asked me to hook him up with a business visa referral letter thru my connections. He also said he’s coming with gf. I said im happy to write him a personal reference letter, but wont be able to get him a business one. Is this rude?

Trying out bumble bff. Met a girl for drinks last week and we seemed to hit it off. We mentioned doing something again and coordinating later in the week. I texted her today to ask if she was still interested in doing something this week and she said she was super busy with a huge project and apologized. But she didn’t offer the weekend (which I feel is included in “this week”), didn’t say “lets do another time” or anything like that. Should I take the L and count her as not rly interested 🥲

I’m dating someone new and it is going very well. He is kind, not high strung, with great values and shares my sense of humor. It is so easy and natural to spend multiple days with him.
Still I am having doubts because I think he isn’t very “intellectual”. To be clear, he’s intelligent! He is a great STEM role that requires an advanced degree. We share a love of reading as well. However he is not really interested in world affairs, does not follow the news closely, does not have a strong grasp

I just feel this overwhelming apathy towards everything, I don’t feel motivated to work harder at my job, personal life is meh, don’t remember the last time I was actually happy.

Do you think it’s fair to pay full price for a missed appointment? Long story short, I lost track of time by 30 minutes.

I tried to renegotiate so she brought it down to $115. Does this seem fair? Looking for other perspectives

I’m not sure if this happens to you, I’m constantly intimidated and feel judged by white men and women and/or people born in the US for having a strong foreign accent in the US.

How do I battle this situation? Would definitely like both perspectives.
