As long as I can remember, all I wanted was to make my Mom proud. She's coming to my graduation from boot camp and I feel like I've finally realized my goal.

I am so happy for you. That's what everybody wants. To make their parents and their families proud. One of the best feelings in the world, isn't it?

I am sure she is, OP. I am so happy and proud of you as well. You did a great job!

Aww! I am so happy for you! I'm sure your mom is proud as well. Good job!

So sweet of you! Congratulations! Best of luck on your journey.

I want to do an MBA in the next 2 years. I’m currently up for Senior consultant promotion but I don’t think I can make good money in consulting till I become Partner. My boyfriend isn’t supportive of this decision. He believes it will alter our plans (marriage, children etc). He also thinks immigration will be a big hassle since I’ve already used my 3 years of OPT. What should I do?

My sister might divorce with her husband, they have a baby of 1.5 year. We came from a divorce family and honestly never thought it would happen again - I feel powerless and I don’t know what to do.

I am also scared for the baby, I perfectly know what it means to grow up in a divorce family and as much as parents are present is not the same.

I’m just not sure if I should tell her about it, or wait for it to come up in conversation

My SO adds very little to our relationship. She has a dead end job. I cook. I work. I oversee finances. I plan trips. She doesn’t have a voice in the relationship. I’ve asked her to give her perspective but she always defaults to mine bc she thinks I’m smarter/worldly. She feels intimated by me and my social circle. Lately, I’ve found myself thinking for her. Anticipating her wants and needs and then adjusting my behavior to meet them. Which she appreciates but it’s frustrating 29M 27F
