TLDR: Getting over your ex of 2.5 years ghosting you after they said they wanted to reconnect.

I was dating someone for about 2.5 years and then we broke up because of COVID and the long distance was making it too difficult to continue. The break up must’ve been like a 4-5 minute FaceTime because I was very distraught. After we broke up, she started seeing someone else but I was heartbroken and it’s taken me over a year to really get over everything and process those feelings. (Cont.)

Hello, I just had to vent a little and maybe ask for your opinion. So I’ve been working at my job for four years now and I’ve never gotten a promotion. On top of this, I do extra duties that my coworkers don’t do and struggle with the work load. I feel like I’m being taken advantage of and am not sure what to do. I feel like going to my boss and refusing to continue to do these extra tasks without extra compensation. Am I being a baby about this?

When COVID hit, people who side-eyed or laughed at me for being a doomsday prepper weren’t side-eyeing or laughing anymore.

Anyone here on a sponsored worker visa?

I am switching employers to Accenture.

I am being told I cannot clear a right to work check until my BRP arrives. And because of this I will need to have my start date pushed by two weeks (start date is mid Jan right now, visa approved yesterday and they need the documents by end of week).

Does this make sense? I'm trying to argue my case as I don't like the idea of losing two weeks, and I am approved. I cannot control the post delivery times...

In my opinion one of the worse things you could hear from someone when you are dating is ‘I usually don’t talk to someone like you’. It makes it seem like you are just settling for that person.

I’m 16 weeks and my doctor recommended AFP testing to determine neural defects. We already did NT and NIPT which came back low risk. She said it’s to determine if we need to be doing an early anatomy scan sooner than 20 weeks. Anyone else done the AFP testing? It caught me by surprise because she hadn’t mentioned it at any of our prior appointments

Has anyone had trouble finding an ob gyn? I just moved to my area and the recommended ob gyns are fully booked. The first date I can schedule is not until I'm 20+ weeks along.

Context: pretty much 100% attendance at the meeting. I’m nervous about flying AND the meeting itself.

Onto the acid reflux stage of pregnancy. Why does no one warn you about this things?!?!?😭 I go to grab and antacid and sure enough, I notice for the first time pregnant women are specifically on the instruction label🙄

Hello. What cleaning products are you using at home while you are pregnant ?

My “possibly toxic” trait is I don’t want to be helped. We bought our house with my husband and never got a cent from anyone and we furnished it ourselves. Now I’m pregnant i don’t really want gifts. We have already bought 70% for our baby and i just don’t want gifts although fam and friends are keen to gift. Am i petty?
