BORED : I am bored with my day to day routine. My partner does not buy me a gift but never stops me either if I want to get something for myself. Never compliment me or appreciate me if I do something special. We go out with friends and family mostly. Hardly go out alone except when we need to grocery shopping. I plan my birthdays/anniversaries myself. He helps if I ask him for something. Feels like I live with a good roommate . Life feels monotonous.what to do ?

My spouse and I both work in the consulting industry. We are planning to extend our family but nervous that consulting career might put a toll on our new born. Would like to know from the contd..

How personal is too personal for a SOP. I want to talk about how my aunts postpartum depression and consequent suicide shaped my career aspirations. Is that too personal/ would that be inappropriate to share?

Anyone the only single family members with a flexible job that always gets called upon to help everyone out? Watch kids/sick parents, travel to vs being visited?
It’s like your 2nd class in the fam 😔

How do I figure out spending with my SO? Initially I was paying for 90% of stuff (no actual bills, just going out). I talked to her and said we need to be more even. She was never proactive. She kind of got offended but we ended on a good note to split things. It went well for a couple weeks but now it's back to normal. She never takes out her card and only venmos me if I send her the request. She lets Venmos sit for weeks before paying them. I still let a lot of things slide.

Getting over heartbreak and having a full time job is torture lol. My boyfriend and I just broke up after almost a year of being together. It was such a beautiful relationship but ultimately he just didn’t love me. I love him so much. My mind knows that I deserve reciprocal love and I’m worthy, but I feel physically ill. My body hurts, my stomach is in knots, my head hurts. How is it that I have to mend a broken heart but also meet my billable hours lmao

So what have you learned after working side-by-side with your spouse for a week?

My SO will put me on the spot sometimes (he is an extrovert) and say just talk to me (it will just be us two). He generally talks a lot and me so much. The second he says that my mind goes blank and for the life of me I can't remember anything to talk about. It's like stage fright. Is this normal? Anyone else experience this?

How to deal?

I cheated... we aren’t supposed to do real art in the morning. We watch an art video and discuss in the morning, then in the afternoon we post an instructional video and the kids do a small project at home... I cheated yesterday. I handed out air dry clay and went to town with my 3rd grades.... the kids said it was the most fun art class ever. I will get in trouble for passing stuff out, but I needed it. So did the kids. Best art day all year!

This is an emotional dump rn. It may be lack of social interaction but I'm really frustrated lately. I feel like I lost last 2.5 years of my life with ongoing lockdowns and job instability in the first half of the pandemic. I was 28 turing 31. I get good dates but -ve self talk
Inflation is high & coming from a low income family where you're supposed to help your parents is driving me nuts. Although I make a good salary, after rent, car insurance, there isn't much left (unfav currency exchange)

My wife gets stuffy every evening, usually when she goes to bed or if she’s been laying down on the couch. Any thoughts/suggestions on what she could do?

My partner of 5 years ended our relationship last night. I’m shattered and feel absolutely sick, and I know the healing isn’t going to be easy. We were on the verge of an engagement and I was ready to spend the rest of my life with him.

I don’t know how to approach work during this time. I think I can get by, but I’m definitely not 100%. Should I talk to my boss about it? My team is close-knit and comfortable around each other, but I don’t know if it’s “appropriate.” What would you do?

It’s week 5 for me of the breakup and even though I had a full and fun weekend with friends and people I love, I woke up today so so sad because I wanted to text my ex. I just feel overall so defeated and exhausted from sadness and unmotivated at work :(

How to handle the dual employment in BGV? I have a friend who have a overlap of 30-40 days from his last organization which is not disclosed in CV and with current organization. I feel UAN check will spoil it but his overlap is cuz he wasn't able to return assets back during COVID. Any suggestions?

Do you find it hard to be in relationships with extroverts? I love it because they make me get out of my comfort zone, but after a while it is just exhausting and I don't think I can keep it up.

GF is 32 and I’m 28. She wants kids within 2 years, understandably. I never envisioned having kids that early (more like late 30s), but I like her a lot. Anyone else gone through something similar?

My daughter had tears streaming down here eyes this morning as she begged me not to go to work. I'm heartbroken. The weekend can't come soon enough.

Opinions about apps for relationships? Tbh, I met my bf of 1.5yrs on Grindr. I personally like finding out if I'm sexual compatible with some of before I dive into the emotional aspect.

Put on a PIP due to my manager stating “they don’t feel like they know me, due to my camera not being on” during meetings larger meetings. If you thought consulting was archaic and bureaucratic, you haven’t experienced tech.

I don’t quite know how to respond to this especially coming from a career where people at my level weren’t on camera at all. I just don’t like being on camera, but I go into the office to meet the team. I’m not in the best living situation for on camera Zoom calls.

Football season is fun. 🏈

My boss is a family friend of mine and that has led to a complicated and problematic dynamic in the workplace. I would like to quit my job but do not want to ruin our friendship or make things awkward. :/

When do you feel the most purpose?

Last night a 500 pound man threw up on my arm in the bar. Was legit in shock. My friends ripped my shirt off me, so I was standing in the bar in my god damn bra. Hope everyone had a better Friday night than me 😂

Projectile vomiting into the bathtub while using the bathroom from the other end is so much fun. Yay stomach bugs

Why are some people willing to do anything / obsessed about getting the green card in the U.S.?

When I asked them, they usually say they like American lifestyle. I love lifestyle in France, but I was in France, I was OK if I can't stay. Just trying to understand here so that I can have more empathy.

My friend’s dad was a firefighter during 9/11 who died very young because of lung cancer. He was one of those who were denied coverage. She was just having a really hard time this week. Her boss knows this and told her last Friday with a straight face that she’s sulking. Some of these VC people man.

Do you consider your in-laws family? For example, if your spouse’s sibling has children, do you consider those kids as your family or your spouse’s family?

Fellas, what’s your go to dating app? And what do you use it for? For example hook ups.

What do you irrationally and harshly judge people for?

I assume that people who don’t rerack their weights at the gym allow themselves to live in filth and squalor and had their mothers wipe their bums until they were in middle school.
