Do people tend to remain close to their siblings after marriage/ getting into a serious relationship? Or does life tend to take over and losing touch is somewhat normal?

Since my marriage my sister and I have also actually gotten a lot closer. I think it’s common to lose touch at first while you’re figuring out your relationship/marriage as that’s what happened once I got married. I’m 9 months into my marriage and my sister and I are closer than ever now!

My younger brother and I have always been close. I got into a serious relationship 1.5 years ago and still hang out w him at least once a week or not more. Also my partner loves my bro so that def helps

My relationship with my brother was spotty well into adulthood. It has gotten so much stronger since he got married, and then even stronger once he had a kid. We are now in touch more regularly than ever before.

Haven’t seen or spoken to my brother since1996. But that’s more about how different we are as people, not about losing touch after marriage.

Hear that. I think brotherhood can go either way. Resentment or fellowship. I’ve had rocky points with my brother as well; working to keep communication open and supportive. Wishing you the best as you surround yourself with people YOU enjoy! 🍻

Hi all,
I am holding offer from Infosys- 16 LPA, Mindtree- 11LPA, TCS- 9 LPA and VGL- 15 LPA as I will join the company in two weeks. I am not sure, which one I should join and should I ask with other companies for revised offer letter (if yes, please suggest me the process) or I should join Infosys or VGL?

Any help or suggestion will be highly appreciated, thanks for your help.

SO has sharp pain from the slightest arousal, anything more than holding hands has progressively gone off the table. Any attempts of passing that threshold usually lead to pain that causes stopping, and some frustration from both sides. She tried physical therapy but it didn’t seem to help.

How do we handle this? Going on almost 2 years of this getting slowly and progressively worse, and feels like it’s starting to cause some strain.

Been having trouble moving on since girlfriend ended relationship 3 weeks ago after 2+ years of dating. Before ending it she came over 3 weeks prior to basically give me a chance to work things out and we had a good discussion but then I went back into our routine and didn’t really fight for it or have serious follow up convos that we needed. Now I just have so many regrets that I let her go. I know we still love each other and left on “good” terms but can’t forgive myself for my lack of action.

I terminated a former employee for consistently missing deadlines, v. poor quality of work (basic spelling mistakes), costed me $500k in errors and subsequently called him a “bottom-tier performer” to my girlfriend. Girlfriend thinks I’m being mean and not kind by calling people that because she thinks I’m putting them down. Note: never called any other team members that because they do good work. I don’t think I’ve said anything out of line - am I in the wrong here?

I've been with my boyfriend for about 2 years now. I only get to see him on the weekend because we have opposite working schedules during the week.

This annoys me since he sees his family throughout the week but my only quality time is on the weekends. He also hasn't been doing anything to get him closer to his life goals because his family always asks him for his time and money....

I have this old college friend who’s always there for me in bad moments but I’m reconsidering our friendship due to some things that happened.

However, we had the same career goals, and it seems like she wants to move in the city where I live to have better opps and have similar lifestyle as mine
