Ha - that happened to me. Was very disappointed because this guy was perfect and remains a good friend to this day. A few days later someone else from work who I’d only considered a friend told me he was interested and we ended up dating (he was great; just assumed he wouldn’t be interested because I thought he was out of my league). I guess I put up unavailable signals to him because I was interested in the gay guy and nothing attracts men more than thinking you’re not available

Haha, not at work but I met one of my best friends this way! Big (silent) crush and a few weeks later he tremblingly selected me as the first person he came out to!

Awww that’s super sweet that he trusted you so much!!

Oh noooo. Minimum you’ve gained a new friend. Perhaps he has some great guys to introduce you to?

uplifting

Yep! At least I made a good friend along the way and can definitely and openly talk about all the guys we’re eyeing!

My husband, who had a successful career but is not yet 40, wants to retire and look after our kids while actively investing our money. I enjoy consulting and will gladly keep working. We also have a good amount of savings, mostly fueled by our frugality during his peak earning years. I feel like I need to support my husband’s dreams while negotiating clear terms. Has anybody been down a similar path and have advice?

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 am planning to leave him but I am hesitant because I am afraid this would negatively impact my son more, not having a father figure around much.... not the first time, my husband promises multiple time that at least he would control his anger in front of kid but never Lee up the promise...sometimes he would even throw stuff (not at me and my child)...

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?

My friend who I have known for 10 years recently became really weird about paying me back for things and I’m not sure how to handle it. We went to a group dinner and everyone paid me back but her, I assumed she forgot and let it go. We went out to grab a drink yesterday, I had one glass of wine, she had 3 cocktails and then ordered a meal, when the bartender asked how we wanted to split the check she quickly said “you can just split it evenly”. I ended up paying $55 for my glass of wine (cont)
