I have an old friend from grade school days. Our paths, income, and careers have veered tremendously over the pst few years. Honestly feel like I can’t share anything going on in life as the judgment is so strong. Even something as simple as going to grab lunch becomes a headache.

Oooh can I relate to this. I'm at the point of being done with such a friend because of it

My friend group consistently pushes each other out of our comfort zone and to get better opportunities. I wouldn’t have my current job without them and my best friend can say the same.

No lol

No but my family(cousins) would be jealous.

I've been avoiding breaking up with someone (I've been dating off and on for a year) for the past few weeks because I can't decide the best way to do it. We're not compatible long-term. He's not seeing anyone else and I've told him I'm seeing other people but he's starting to have relationship expectations for me since we reconnected a few months ago. Any tips for having the conversation? I'd prefer to do it via text but I know people say it's not appropriate and it should be over the phone.

The biggest thing I keep running and running around my head- after 8 months, why did he drop me? When he texted ending it l….it wasn’t me, like we weren’t us, his words were from someone else, like I didn’t matter.

Many with kids live on the same street as their ex wives so they can be close to their child. I'm not comfortable dating guys like that.

I feel like a failure as a parent at times - my youngest daughter is extremely anxious about middle school and in the first week has already had two emotional breakdowns. She is so worried about people picking on her and not having friends. I have reached out to the counselor and principal with hopes to get her some support in school, but I can’t do anything to make it better. I feel like I should be able to do more than encourage her but I know some battles she had to fight on her own.
