I recently ended a 5 year relationship to someone I thought I was going to marry and everyday I worry I made the wrong decision. At the end of the day though our values weren’t in alignment - he became very conservative over the years (or more open about his perspectives on it).. such that he thought being gay is something not to be discussed/ encouraged, abortion should be illegal etc. And just felt an inconsistency with his level of compassion/empathy that was confusing bc it felt hot and cold

My GF has trouble standing up for herself. She's on client travel and one of her co-workers made her really upset (very uncalled for and should have never happened). She called me crying. After consoling her I told her that she needs to go to her manager and possibly HR (yes it's to that level).
She told me she can't and she's not that person (she thinks she'll get the other person fired). She knows that she should and hates that she doesn't stand up for herself. What can I do to help?

So I’m 4 weeks going on 5 weeks pregnant and Monday I had “cramps” which really felt like gas in my lower abdomen. Went to the restroom and saw spotting of red blood. The gassy feeling only lasted for about a hour and each time I would fart, I felt better. I’ve been spotting since then and am really concerned. Has anyone else gone through something similar?

I’ve been working as a digital strat manager for the past 5 yrs. Every yr I have been recommended for a promotion and have gone above and beyond what my job description calls for but the promotion hasn’t happened. I have a great team and I’m generally pretty happy. Recently, my coworker who has been there for the same time as me got promoted to Senior Manager and I, who returned to work in February after having my second baby didn’t. I can’t help but think that is because I’m a mom. Thoughts?

I moved to Philly from Chicago burbs for my current job in 2017. Love working for this company.

Since we’ve been working from home, I’ve stayed with family for couple of months. Now I don’t feel like living away from them. Just confused between family and career. Any advice?

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year. With timing of our performance conversations I would have to inform I’m pregnant before outcomes - then shortly after the promotion effective date I would go on a leave for due date. I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?

Lately I’ve seen a lot of “Pride” jockstraps on sale because I suppose the Pride season is over — rainbow jockstraps etc. I was thinking tonight when I was at the gym that I might be the only gay who wears jockstraps for their intended purpose. Just curious, does anyone else wear them for non-sexual reasons? I like the look and feel, and wear traditional ones usually, and I’ve been wearing them since the late 90’s for athletic stuff.
