Anyone else having relationship issues since conora? Anyone know if divorce rate has increased?

Is it weird that I feel like I’m good friends and have a connection with people I meet online rather than people I know IRL?

I still constantly think about my 1st serious relationship from about 14 years back. I think about her everyday and fantasize about she reaching out and us getting back. We have not had any contact for the past 7 years, post break up contact was limited to once a year birthday wishes.

I have tried therapy and they asked me to do some forgiveness work, which has helped in other aspects but not this. I genuinely think this is exactly what addiction is. Plz. help folks, how can I get over this?

My parents are scared that something will happen to me if I join the military. How did you guys handle this?

My family is concerned about me becoming an officer. I could see why, but what are some things you've told your families to put them a bit more at ease about the field you're in?

First-gen grad students, does your family put pressure on you to succeed? It feels like our relationship is them just bugging me about my work. I’d love some advice, I miss my fam.

Does any other girl feel my struggle of maintaining friendships with guys cuz you don’t want to get hit on? I’m in late twenties, and in college years, most of my good friends were guys that didn’t expect anything else but friendship from me. But now I’m struggling to maintain friendships with guy coworkers because they constantly ask for a coffee or lunch/dinner date. Is it cuz I’m friendly? I can tell they want more from me. How do I navigate this? I still want guy friends. 🥺

I teach PreK in a public school. Our state allows PreK programs to nap without masks if proper ventilation is provided. I have 16 children, a minimum of 3 feet apart, no masks, with two LOUD air filters, two tiny windows open, the outside and hall door open, at average in 72-76 degrees. What is your childcare classroom doing for rest time?

Is a move to Dubai worth it? Currently in the US (Pakistani background - but my whole family is in the US). Thinking about relocating with my wife and 4 year old just for a change. Looking for warmer weather + more savings + and just a lifestyle change. Thoughts from anyone who’s made a similar move?

People with kids, how much do you spend on daycare?

Need some gay friends in Chicago, anyone down to hang sometime

My wife is a great mother. She, however, is not very physically affectionate and always has a million excuses. I crave physical affection both in the bedroom and in general. I’ve communicated this many times and nothing has changed. It’s driving me nuts and making me feel completely unwanted. I work hard for our family and try to do things around the house as well but often work many more hours overall. Not really sure the point of writing all this out, I just hate it.

My bf took a guys trip to Caribbean to celebrate a good friend of 20+ year’s milestone bday. The friend’s bday is the day before mine. Normally bf and I trip for my bday over the holiday weekend. Bf will be back for my actual bday, and we’re taking a domestic trip next weekend. That said, I still feel a little miffed that we’re not spending this weekend together like normal. Are my feelings unreasonable?

Burnout from long hours is having a big impact on my family and my wife is asking me to consider working part-time for a while. Financially, we would be fine. I’m worried about how few opportunities there are for part-time MEs.

I made a mistake. I talked with the ex this morning. He said he misses me. And that while he walk talking to the other woman, he wished he was talking to me instead. And when he saw that I didn’t respond to his texts, he drank a shit ton. And then called this morning.

He’s not willing to commit to the other women because he’s not over me.

I need to block him.

Last year I moved to a new city to be with my girlfriend after she took a new job in that city. One year later I realized this was the unhappiest year of my adult life. I don’t know if it’s because of my relationship or because I’m in a new city with less friends/social life. 27M

My parents feel that I’m not gonna find anyone for an arrange marriage if I keep traveling out every week. They want me to change my job. But I like consulting and I chose this career. Contd. 30M

Is it odd that I don't tell my siblings and siblings in-law happy wedding anniversary? Feels like one of those things that is their thing. Or am I wrong here?

I feel stuck. This job is hard. Feels like lots of people piling on while I’m away from home and my SO. It would be nice to feel more supported and have less toxic clients.

Is it bad to spend time with your SO every weekend? We’re both busy during the week so weekends are the only time we get

If you could go back and start over would you still choose this path? Or would you choose a different career and/or a different time to have children? I accidentally became a working parent in law so while I love my job and my children I don't think I would have planned it quite like this.

Which would be better? The first will def pay better but afraid of being pigeonholed into fund accounting and lack of exit opps.

Thank you all in advance!

Recommendations for good reads during pregnancy please?

I work at a large, global software company, and am looking to make a move to a more collaborative environment with better culture. I’ve been offered a more senior position at a smaller North American company in the crypto space where I know I will learn a lot, but I’m worried it might hurt my overall career trajectory. Eventually I plan on moving internationally. When it comes to searching for a new position, does company size/reputation matter more than the experience you have at the company?

Hi guys, i am looking for an opportunity in PWC for the position of Document specialsit. Can anyone help me with the reference. I would be great help

What are some of the best ads (stunts, social, print etc) that required zero-low budget to produce?

Are thank you emails after an interview still necessary? For context, never communicated by email with the interviewers and could only guess their emails.

Does anyone in here have insight into PwC’s Deal Strategy group? Just was curious what they do, what the day to day looks like, etc. Seems to be difficult to get any insight on it anywhere else. I’m currently in FDD and what they do seems interesting with what very little I know about it. TIA

Can anyone here help me with my elevator pitch on what I currently do as a financial due diligence senior associate? Happy to DM you what I have written so far. This is different than my resume, trying to polish what I’d say in interviews (more conversational)

What are the type of projects at Kearney? Got an offer and trying to decide if I should relocate or not to the Middle East from Europe

Any tam brahm single boys? 30 F, eats chicken occasionally and drinks socially.

Any thoughts/opinions/ideas on how to sell off outdated textbooks?

What shows do you regret not watching earlier? For me it has to be money heist. Thought the dubbing would be awful and I can't watch subtitled shows during work. 2nd place Handmaid's Tale. Thought it would be super preachy anti male anti white show. It turned out that it wasn't overtly so and I like dystopian shows either way.

i moved recently and incurred about 10K in CC debt (~25% APR) and about 36K left of my student debt (8% APR). I can probably pay between $1000-$1500 a month towards debt with my current budget. my parents recently downsized are gifting me $40K to pay off my student loan, which my mum co-signed. would it be appropriate to ask her if i can use it to pay off CC debt and continue paying the student loan (and pay it off on my own by fall)? should i just bite the bullet and pay the interest?

Got out of a toxic relationship that I KNOW was toxic but my heart is still heavy and I want him back. Did anyone experience this? How did you overcome it?

Sometimes I wish when you were with a partner, there was a very clear sign that the person doesn’t love you so that you know it’s time to walk away. My partner and I keep having the same problems, and when I express he’s making me feel a certain way he says he didn’t mean it like that obviously. But when i say something and explain that it’s not how I meant it he doesn’t care and proceeds to label me as an unkind person who doesn’t support/love him unconditionally. *continued in comments*

My boyfriend is not the best at providing emotional support. I’m pretty sure a lot of it stems from him not being able to fully express his emotions when he was younger. Does this mean our relationship is doomed or is there anything we can do to work on this? I just want to feel supported and that he is there for me.

Alright how many of you have hit up your ex since quarantine? Mine unfollowed my on everything so I congratulated him on LinkedIn for his promotion

I recently started a new relationship and it is absolutely incredible and we could not be more in love. Just wanted to make a happy post because most of the posts in this bowl are so sad.

For those who are in long term relationships, why aren’t you married? I’d like to move forward and start a family, but my gf isn’t willing to consider that at this point and probably won’t for the next ~10yrs. We’re 23 and 27yo

I flew all the way from Seattle to Boston to visit my SO, I felt his “indifference” during this trip and we had a long discussion last night and today I decided to fly back, ending the trip early by 1 week. We were supposed to break up but the moment before I left, SO doesn’t want to end this and still want to keep in contact, giving me a break from this. Is it possible that we can be friends given this situation?

I can’t live with my spouse anymore and I think the feeling is mutual. We have kids (<10yrs) and I would hate to not be able to see them everyday. I’m afraid of the negative impact on the kids of this separation/divorce. Long term I don’t know what the solution is. Any advice would be appreciated. I feel like the biggest failure in the world.

What's the best relationship advice you've heard recently?

My SO had a career change, went back to school, and just started with his new job. He is struggling a bit and is very stressed out. What can I do to help?

Dating a girl - been going great. Suddenly she is saying there’s too much going on in her life (her mum is ill, doing dental training) to go to the next level, but that I’m a great guy anyone would be lucky to bag etc. At the same time she says she wants to stay in touch. I said for her to tell me if she’s not interested and we can leave it - she told me she is interested but the timing is wrong. I said ok let’s leave it - she said it’s my choice (despite inertia from her).what to make of this?

I’m breaking up with my GF of 3 years today.. going to be a tough one.
