Currently in small suburb near LA. Thinking of moving to different city. Thinking between Chicago, Austin, Denver. Does it make sense, consulting wise and dating wise?

Chicago, Denver - easy travel options, Austin will mostly involve connections. Generally more consulting companies in Chicago then Denver then Austin. Austin is having trouble handling the influx of people. Which sounds like I’m picking on Austin, but just considered moving there and decided against it.
Dating - I’m old, but Chicago found me a wife :)

Thanks H1, very helpful!

Damn, those Chicago winters though. Why are you struggling with consulting and dating in LA, if I may ask?

Thanks PwC1 for the kind words! Wishing you good luck too!

Which suburb of LA? Just curious

My husband and I have had problems for years. He used to basically give me next to no affection, our sex life barely existed (incl. his absolute refusal to do foreplay … ever!) and his general dismissal of anything I enjoyed (my hobbies were boring to him). Over the last year I just gave up trying and accepted we may need to divorce. Now he is trying a lot- he puts in a lot of effort. While a few years ago this would have made me happy I feel like it’s too little too late, I just don’t care ..

I get matches on dating apps and I never feel like responding. On Hinge for example, I send a like with a message for their prompt. They send back a message and I just look and it and let it sit there. Idk what’s wrong with me. I want to go on dates but thinking about the whole “talk phase” is really off putting. I met up with someone on the apps a year ago and became friends for a while before I ended it because I was overwhelmed with life. I don’t want to redo this again. Dating is so hard 🥹

I'm a cashier. We just got a new manager, and she's making things really hard for us.

And when we ask her about it, she gets mad.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?
