Anyone else dealing with arrange marriages s parents issues. I am tired of having the same conversations with my parents everyday. Please don’t give me obvious solutions like get married lol!

I still think of my ex. It’s been 9 months since our breakup. He cheated on me and although I walked away and never looked back, I still wonder how life is treating him. I know I deserve better. Sigh.

What are your biggest regrets in dating? Anyone regretted staying with someone for too long?

At what point do you think you should move in with your significant other or at least talk about it?

Meeting a guy through arranged marriage setup (I am south asian), the guy thinks that girls don't need to work after marriage as husband takes care of expenses , I want to say no to this person for proceeding . basically I feel this person lacks common sense that 2 incomes is better than one in a household. what is the best way to reject this potential groom candidate ?I feel a girl need not sacrifice her career after getting married , as marriage is not life it is part of life.

Has anyone stayed in contact with an ex because they genuinely were a good person in your life at the time? I find it hard to completely block someone out just because you may have been incompatible in building a future together, but I’m curious how often you chat moving forward?

My husband and I have had problems for years. He used to basically give me next to no affection, our sex life barely existed (incl. his absolute refusal to do foreplay … ever!) and his general dismissal of anything I enjoyed (my hobbies were boring to him). Over the last year I just gave up trying and accepted we may need to divorce. Now he is trying a lot- he puts in a lot of effort. While a few years ago this would have made me happy I feel like it’s too little too late, I just don’t care ..

Get out of the city while I can, or stay here to avoid spread to my parents? What are other people doing

How can you tell when staying home alone is introversion vs social withdrawal/isolation, which is a symptom of something more serious?

Hahahah, I just got into a relationship and the next day after, my ex texts me: “I miss you” 😂💀💀💀

My girlfriend is willing to break off our entire relationship because she found out my mom doesn't approve of her. We have no issues between each other but she said she can't be with someone who's family doesn't like her.

32 M in London. Got divorced after a very short marriage. Have moved on and not given up on love, willing to give love and marriage another chance. Happy to connect with 🐟 from US, but just letting you know life’s great in London!

I'd like to find another job but I feel like all of my other friends work more hours than me. I'd hate to find another job that'll pay 10% more but I work 25% more hours.

Any tips on how to be more empathetic to a significant other’s anxiety. He has always had a little anxiety, but since the pandemic it’s just been a lot more and I’m finding it harder and harder to be patient and not lash out at him.

My brother studies law at a top 10 law school and wants to work in government or for a non-profit where stresses are lower and he gets to feel more ownership to and meaning in his work, and he has heard all my complaints 😂

The pressures of his peers and biglaw are eating him up however - he’s getting good grades and feels like he is "supposed" to want to go into biglaw. I kind of feel for him, but don’t know what to tell him to cheer him up.

After your last long term relationship ended. What helped you move past?

What is something you found about yourself after moving away from family that you would have never imagined? For example the food you like that you never imagined before or sports or the kind of person you date?

Seeing local parents reacting to the public school lottery results in DC, got me super nervous about when it’s my kids turn.

How much does comp & title matter?

Considering a manager -> 2 titles lower but 35% increase salary non mbb. I’m not in strat consulting now

I want to go VC / Start up I think but still interested in giving strategy consulting a shot.

Got to final round for mbb for post mba role - have another shot in ~3 months.

Do I stay where I am, try for mbb again? Take the title demotion but increase pay and call it a day, or just say screw it and go to early stage? Struggling here - don’t love

Looking for better opportunity

Looking for referral at PWC India. Have a strong experience as Finance Analyst.

I had 5 very good interviews for a Sr TA position last one yesterday. I was told I would hear from the recruiter. Should I wait or send a thank you email and ask about next steps. The recruiter was wonderful and moved me through the process quickly.

I had a really weird interview for Creative Director today.

It’s a small startup. HR interviewed me and asked all the hard hitting questions (how do you get design inspiration, how do you deal with design roadblocks, what sets you apart for this role?) which I thought was odd for a screening interview.

They made some affirmative noises then said the next step would be a design test (one pager) which I would present to a panel of interviewers including the CMO.
Anyone else think this is odd?

Desis who moved to Australia instead of USA what were your reasons to pick Australia? Are you happy there?

Fish,

Does anyone know if H1B holders are eligible to take FMLA? I'm reading conflicting things online. I'm on an H1B (year 6 on H1B; GC filed and have an i-140 date) Need to take a few weeks off to take care of some medical issues with my toddler. I'm also going to be going on maternity leave in about 5 months (company offers it). I'm not sure if taking FMLA now would somehow impact my maternity leave. Thoughts?

Thanks in advance!
