Confession: when doing my partner’s laundry and straightening up behind him that song Labour by Paris Paloma keeps running through my head. We moved in together a year ago, sometimes I miss being divorced and living on my own.

Divorced and cannot imagine ever marrying again or even living with a man. Come over, have some laughs and be on your way kind sir.

After a few years on my own I thought I wouldn’t go back too. It’s a trade off for sure!

Can't you tell him to do his own laundry? I did my husband's laundry when he was way, way busier than me... But I'm having trouble imagining how your partner could be busier than you, a CEO!

We’re both entrepreneurs, he’s busy also, busier than me lately.

But moreover he seems to have no problem letting laundry pile for weeks before he finally does it, and will often go buy a new shirt rather than take the time to get through it all. Which ultimately just adds to the pile.

Why are you doing his laundry and cleaning after him if you don’t enjoy it? My husband does my laundry and I miss it a bit (laundry isn’t complicated - it’s dirty, you do something to it, and then it’s fixed). If it feels like a chore, stop!

My husband is traveling 2 weeks out of every month and is using our place as a “dumping ground” each time he comes back, leaving me to sort whatever he leaves behind. If I don’t clean, it’ll sit there for months. He’s busy now, but he was like this even when I was the one traveling and he was home. It drives me insane when we’re already apart so it creates quite a bit of strain on the relationship. Looking for an alternative approach please

I cringe when I'm at a friend's house and they answer their phone, find out it's a telemarketer, and just hang up on them. It's so rude. They know I have to cold-call people at my job and you'd think they would at least act like they were more respectful of the job.

Spent the pandemic working on myself, got sober, focused on working out, left the music industry and started a career where I can make money and have a steady work schedule. Maybe this isn’t everyone’s version of “growing up” but that’s what this was for me. Now that I’m vaxed and seeing my friends, it’s clear we have little left in common, and honestly a lot of the things they do straight up embarrasses me. I don’t want to lose these long term friends. Has anyone else been in this situation?

Question about inclusion…. I’ve been teaching inclusion for 5 years so I’m still a newb, but a first year coworker of mine said she got points off on her observation because her kids were scattered in the classroom and she was having to move from kid to kid to assist. While I see the point of putting them together for convenience, I don’t agree with this at all! To me this is like singling them out by putting them all together instead of INCLUDED amongst peers. What do y’all think?

I work with a classroom of Middle School ED students. One student, who I worked with the year before, has changed alot over the year. Last year (pre COVID), she had a good head on her shoulders and I thought I had good rapor with her. But over that period of isolation, she tried to commit suicide.

All year, she was much more withdrawn and ALWAYS on her phone! At the end of the I was 'beat up by her - she really knocked my glasses off.

How should I approach her in the upcoming year?

Anyone with anxious attachment tendencies? Going through a breakup and I keep thinking about how I pushed him away and then am down on myself, replaying memories in my mind.

I had a crush on a girl. It's been almost 2 years since I confessed my feelings to her and today she told me that she likes me too.
The only issue is she's a Muslim and I'm a Hindu. She believes we don't have a future and that's why she took a long time to confess. She is confused on what to do and even I am confused because things will actually be difficult for obvious reasons.
Please advice on what we should do now.
Should we part ways or should we fight for it?

It’s been 3 years since I (27F) moved to Seattle and still don’t have a solid social circle. Not necessarily a big group… I’m talking 3-4 friends who are easy going and not flakey/ hard to make plans with.

Idk if it’s due to Covid, Seattle freeze, a combination of the two or other factors. Any transplants out there who are NOT the outdoorsy type and feel the same? And if so, how did you get past it?

So recently my SO has been accusing me of being in control of when we are intimate (sex and cuddling). She says that every time she wants to I say no - and whenever I want to - she says yes. So it's by default doing whatever I want when I want. It's a gross exaggeration of what's happening - but does anyone ever deal with something like this? How do you say no to something like that - without your partner thinking you're just looking out for yourself or you're controlling?

Stupid Question- We have been thinking for IVF and trying to understand with this process, is there any difference in the health and life of the child as compared to a child born without IVF. I did ask this with our doctor and he said casually its all same. This is not to question any doctor but just to really understand what is going to be different with the kid. This is not very old technology and not much studies as well.
