Ok, so you’ve chosen to prioritize work over having a family. Ever felt like you don’t fit in or aren’t “successful” because of that? Asking because I keep hearing comments about women “she’s a successful Partner, married with kids etc”.

Sugar baby right here ya’ll 🤣

Still looking for the one and not willing to settle.

Hmmm, I’m interpreting responses about “ugly” as sarcasm. So if sarcasm is the trend, then I understand why you would choose to remain single.

Gosh, I’m seeing a trend with these responses!

Super interested in non-sarcastic answers too. Getting married sounds a lot like a somewhat mandatory milestone that one would be discriminated against at some point. Curious to hear thoughts :)

I'm doing everything in my power to not quit without another job lined up, and every interview falls through. I'm overwhelmed by my clients, I've had enough corporate koolaid for a lifetime, I could not care less about what I do, and I've started exhibiting destructive behaviors at work but keep getting told I'm doing great.

If I'm going to be stuck here, clearly my attitude is the main problem. How have you learned to find joy in your job? What makes you feel like you matter here? Why stay?
