Sorry about the situation OP - I don’t know if it’s for everyone, but pausing your career (break, leave of absence or some lighter version) to actually just invest in your relationship is worth it... as long as you work on the root causes of the unhappiness in that time vs. just assuming time together is the core problem we all seem to want to solve ...

Alright fine, I'll give you my escort's number. Which city are you based out of?

Work on your marriage before it’s too late and one of you end up with affairs. Go for marriage counseling, talk to each and let go of ego.. you should regret that you didn’t give it a full shot when’s there was chance. Talking always help.

I was reading a post in another group that asked how folks were celebrating Diwali outside of India and 2 people mentioned that their whole street (in the US) exchanged sweets, put up lights, and pitched in for a community firecrackers permit. This had me wondering if this happened in the US for Eid as well in cites where there is a big Muslim population. Also, how do you all celebrate Eid? For folks who are grew up in the west, is there anything you plan on doing differently with your kids?

I am trying to write a stock letter to send to parents everyday that their child does not come to virtual learning sessions. I have been told by administration that even though I have spoken to parents and know why students are not coming to zoom classes, that we still need to contact them everytime they dont come. For some of my students this is everyday due to parent work schedules and disability issues.
Is anyone else having this trouble? What are you saying to parents to cover yourself?
