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 am in a long distance relationship with someone who is currently in B school. He spends pretty much all his breaks and holidays traveling with his classmates. Most of the time I am fine.

It’s really disappointing and I don’t know what else to tell him. Is that a reasonable ask or am I being dramatic?

I impulsively spent $400 on concert tickets before I left my last job. Now I’m entering my third month at a new job and I’m worried it’s too early to take off to go. At the very least I would have to sign off an hour or two early to be able to make it on time. But I feel awkward asking because generally I wouldn’t take off this early. For context, I have unlimited PTO.

Growing up was rough. On my 8th birthday my dad had an accident that led to this death a few days later. He was a good man who took care of us all (I had 3 siblings now 2; lost 1 few years ago). I'm in a good place in life right now I only find myself in the last 5years shedding a tear once a while when I'm alone. It startles me because I was a tough kid who didn't cry and just soaked it all in and rolled with it. I'm almost 40 and can't explain what's happening with these tears.

I’ve been hooking up with a guy off and on for a little over 4 years (met right after a break up) and early on set the boundary that it’s just sex. Recently told a friend abt him (we were out she wanted to know who I was texting/who was picking me up) & now she’s trying to convince me that I’m just in denial (and so is he) of having feelings for each other. He’s a good guy, has his life together, and we have fun, but I don’t get why the arrangement we have is a problem/needs to be changed??
