Do you guys think people are moving out of Chicago more than last few years? Lot of my friends have moved out and keep hearing similar stories

Ive been in a relationship for 7 months. We met 4+ years ago but it didn't go anywhere at that time. We kept running into each other throughout the years and stayed cordial. When we started talking again this time around, I had flat out asked him about many things including education. Contd.

Is the saying "a happy wife is a happy life" really true? Or should there be compromise and balance for both sides. Discuss.

TL:DR; How does my friend get sober from alcohol and drugs, without upending their life/career/family?

My best friend who I have worked with professionally, and been good friends with for 7 years, has picked up a steadily increasing addiction to a certain drug over the last 3 months.

He has been expressing concerns to me more frequently about his use and how it is effecting his work/relationships.

Is there a “best route” to get him back on track? Any advice appreciated.

My bf and I have been having the same argument for weeks now so he said he needed space (and I understand why) But he said let’s talk after Christmas… and a month feels long to me. I felt like two weeks is enough time to gather your thoughts. Can others share their experiences? Also it feels unfair for me to have to wait for his text? I don’t know what is best for me too.

** Really need your advise**
So my gf 26 and I 27 (m) broke up a month back. We booked a concert long time ago and that’s up next week. Our breakup was mutual but this girl is special. I have tried over and over again to rekindle but she said it’s done. The concert is next week and I really want her there. Should I ask her one last time or should I let her go?

I’m at home quarantining with my parents and it has made me realize how my father actually has severe OCD/depression. I try not to lose my temper with him because he’s very frustrating at times. What should I do?
