Cutting the cord on some friends who have no regard whatsoever for my preferences, sad at the same time thinking about how bleak ‘making new friends’ situation is in mid 30s #Broslost 😓

As you continue to age ull realize you won't need to make a ton of new friends and the new friends that come will be unexpected and at the right time. Cut the cord.

The growth you experience in your 20s is significant. By the time you’re 30 a lot of your college bros will be entirely different people. Pour one out

I feel like if you live in a major city it isnt that difficult. Sometimes I make so many new friends I don't even know how to keep up with everyone.

I hear you.

Yes. Agree with SM1. Has been like that here too.

Agree with SM1... its about quality... and you never know when you find the next great friend. We all also lose a lot of people along the way. Tough but necessary...

Sounds dramatic AF

I’m over 40 and have de-friended people, no trouble making new friends via meet ups, volunteering, work...but points above about quality over quantity is right on. Cutting out the people who drain you gives you a lot more time with ones who enrich your life

Correct me if I'm wrong... For those who are older than I am.. I feel like a long term partner and marriage is really not what I envision at the beginning. Its more of just settling for what it is and compromising?

Had a really rough drinking episode this past weekend. Broke some things in our house. Don’t remember. For 20 years now, I can have 1-2 drinks and be fine 9/10 times, and that 10% I go HARD. Sometimes I just really need it, but it’s always filled with regret the next day. I really want to be able to drink a glass of wine or have a couple beers, but now my SO says 100% abstinence. Is it possible with my background and history or abuse to even try to do this anymore, or should I completely stop.

How do you know if you have good hygiene? my ex told me I don’t

This is my routine:
- I have curly hair, can only wash it once a week/put dry shampoo if needed
- I brush my teeth 2 times a day
- Wear deodorant / perfume every day (my way, and good girl) and shave off any hair (I did laser but still), as much as possible. Some days, I cannot keep up with shaving (especially if it won’t show)
- I wear pantyliners and change it once a day/ change panties once a day
- I shower my body every day

I am 34 and my average bed time at night is 8:30 to 9 - on weekdays. My wife says m boring.

I have been dating my gf for 6 months now. She’s a nice enough girl to hang out with but recently I’ve been feeling as though the effort in the relationship is really imbalanced. For example, she never offers to pay for dinner, never offers to cook for us (I do it), never buys gifts and doesn’t want to have sex (she she’s a virgin and wants to be sure I’m committed before she’s ready but she is happy receiving oral though).

Am I a sucker here? I’m 27, she’s 25.

My wife and I are both terrible housekeepers and our clutter is overwhelming us. We have two kids under 3 and a wonderful nanny but we need more help at home. How do we throw money at this problem?

I made the executive decision a few months ago not to invite my dads siblings (and their kids) due to them being horrible people and how they treated my dad after my grandpa passed away recently. (He objected, asking me not to stoop down to their level) [when you go low, I go to hell] I have never known more peace during this planning process. 30 people down on a guest list, our budget is happy, I’m less stressed… WIN FOR ME

I’ve been helping couples navigate the challenges of infertility for over 20 years now. Recently, I’ve noticed more couples feeling apprehensive to continue treatment because they are worried about potential repercussions if they miscarry during the IVF process. Honestly, I’m not sure how to reassure them because I also feel afraid, but I just want to continue supporting these wonderful couples & families. I would be heartbroken if they ended up suffering more because of their treatments. I’m just feeling so conflicted & sad today after meeting with a couple who decided to postpone treatment.
