My husband never reads and wants to start reading as a new hobby. What is a good book that you would recommend for a 40 year old man? Not self help books, but maybe something with action. I think he would like the Bourne series, but he saw all the movies so he's not interested, but something similar.

Advice for getting over feelings of jealousy? Also related for me, how can I learn to be indifferent to people I don’t like… rather than actively dislike them? I feel jealous feelings only when it’s someone I don’t like. I want to get over both feelings… learn to be truly indifferent to others. I try to tell myself I shouldn’t care, but so far I am yet to feel it. On the inside I do know it bothers me.

I find myself with a lot of free time on week nights given the current state of everything and I’m struggling mentally because I want to do something that feels productive. I’m sick of constantly refreshing Instagram, Facebook, etc. I work out, make great dinners, spend time with roommates, but end up watching hours of TV/surfing my phone way too much. What do you guys do to not feel lazy? I feel I am wasting way too much time

Any tips on howNOT to be super resentful towards in-laws this time of year? Despite them living close & retired they have seen my 8 mo old a handful of times. We have needed help during the pandemic with child care, but they never stepped up - Instead, they have chosen to spend time with their other grandchild, who is in 1st grade which makes it impossible for us to see them bc of covid risk. Now we will host them this wknd for earlyXmas, and I’m just so resentful at how absent they have been.

Not sure if this is an ADHD symptom or a form of avoidance that’s specific to me but since I’ve started working, I feel physically incapable of keeping up with my friendships and relationships, like the bandwidth is completely gone. I never felt this way in law school/ever before but now I’m going ages without responding to texts and I’m starting to really see some strong friendships fall to the wayside. The thing is if I had anything to give, I would!

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.

I've been working remotely for the past two years, and it's been great. I love working from home and being able to watch my kids grow up through their eyes as they play around me. But sometimes, when you're in this kind of situation, it's hard to know what to talk about with your coworkers.

My room mate leaves his stuff all over the dinner table to the point I can’t even sit down to eat. A few nights ago, I stacked his things (unopened packages, mail, etc) neatly to give me more room and he got mad at me for moving his stuff. Now I stack everything I can as high as I can every night. I don’t see what the big deal is lol

Trying to decide who to invite from work. My office is about 45 people total—50-50 attorneys and support staff. I know which associates I’m inviting and know that the others won’t care. But struggling with partners and support staff. I work with some but am close to others that I don’t work with. Reality is that I can’t invite them all but don’t want to offend anyone

I met a couple girls through a friend and they’re both really smart and fun to be with. I’ve been thinking about getting back in the dating scene but don’t know which one to ask out. They’re both friends so I can’t really try the other if one doesn’t work out. Thoughts?

Has this ever happened to you that each time you meet your bf/gf , there is extreme nervousness from both sides ? It’s a good kind of nervousness (shyness , awkwardness) and almost feels like meeting someone you have known forever for the first time?

I have a crush on my counsellor at work. She's much older but still really gracious and beautiful. Should I go for it or is this a bad idea?

A question for the guys: was this a date?! Ran into a guy I knew in college at a bar, he technically asked me out (“we should get drinks sometime” etc), then paid for my drink. But as we were saying bye, it felt kinda platonic? Like just a hug and “good seeing you.” Or is he not interested? How often do you kiss on a first date?

My husband seems to hate everything about me. He finds everything I talk about boring, and if I don’t talk, he calls me boring. I looked at my phone for 2 mins at a dinner and he started to scream at me for being phone obsessed. If I talk about work, he tells me I am pathetic. I am struggling to conceive and he keeps telling me I don’t care about having a family. I am so sad and exhausted all the time. What can I do?

So i met this girl a month ago, we had 4 dates and haven’t even kissed yet. But she always expects me to pay for her whenever we go. She doesn’t even offer to pay. I mean in previous dates/relationships girls at least just offered to pay which i declined and paid for them, to what they would just buy me some drinks, etc. Is this normal that this girl always expects me to pay for her?She always messages me throughout a week and suggests places we should go to hang out. But never leans toward kiss

We're about to start planning our wedding. I have a huge family and friend group (100+) that I want to invite and she has a very small family and group of friends (>50). We haven't talked about this yet, but I wanted to get some opinions on this before hand. Should I reduce the be l number of people I want to invite to match hers? Is it unfair to her that I'll have a significant majority at the wedding?

So what do men really look for looks wise? Is it really all about the face?

12 years and my partner won't do chores. Vent vent vent. I make 80% of our income and pay 80% of expenses. I'm also tidy but hate cleaning. Partner works 20-30 hours/ week no kids and is a slob. 3 months ago made chore list, got them to sign on the list the 50/50 split that it was fair. 3 months later I've been doing my chores they haven't done any. Brought it up today and was accused that the list was unfair they refuse and they dont have time because they must "work to subsidize your expenses"
