For those in relationships:

What’s your age and how often do you and your SO text/talk on the phone?

I’m assuming if y’all live with one another y’all will prob text very little on a daily basis (pre-covid).

I’m 33 and SO is 38. When I was traveling every week, we would text in the morning just to say good morning, once throughout the day just to see how each other’s day had been going and then at night to catch up on anything of importance. We aren’t big on talking on the phone and saved big conversations for when I got back in person.

Age 27/SO is 28

Text daily, at least twice a day (morning and night), but usually also in the middle unless we're very busy

31, we live together.

But pre-covid texted all the time throughout the day, particularly during travel. Tried to talk 1x / day too.

I'm 35 and my SO is 42. We've been married 3 years, together 12. We're both wfh but we text throughout the day because we use it to send articles/links to each other. Pre-covid we sent fewer texts, but SO's work has gotten slower so he's been doing a lot of reading during the day. If either of us are away on business we wouldn't text much during the day but we'd try to chat on the phone after we're both off the clock.

I started dating this guy some months before covid struck.. he was literally crazy about me. He even stayed in Hyderabad for months just so that we could meet once before he went on to stay with his family. After that it had been a real roller coaster. He pampered me a lot before and now he hardly talks. We both have switched to different companies (earlier were in the same) and now he works 6 days a week. Sleeps or Vists his relatives or works on Sundays. Sometimes I feel he no longer loves me.

How do you deal with non-accepting family members? I don’t make it a thing, but I’ve been advised to take off my tie and change into more feminine clothing around them. I am okay with not discussing my personal life, but I don’t feel comfortable changing my dress. So I just don’t keep in contact with those relatives. A therapist told me that I am not secure in my gender identity if I am not willing to take off a tie and show compassion to a family member who would be upset by it? Am I selfish?

For any immigration Practioners out there familiar with NVC. I have a client whose applications were completed by NVC back in October 2019. Citizen of Brazil. For some reason, other appications that were completed much later have already had their interview in Brazil but yet NVC keeps telling us that they are waiting for BRazil to schedule the interview and that the delay is due to Covid. My client is beyond fustrated. Does anyone have any idea how we can push this file forward to the consulate?

Hi all, just found out I’m expecting a little one but I’m nervous about staying in public as I don’t think it’ll be beneficial once the kiddo is born with the late nights of busy season and stresses of the job. Is it worth it to look in industry? If so, would they get angry that I’ll basically go in maternity leave in 9 months? Also, if public is better- why? I just don’t see benefits of being in public anymore. Also, I’ve been a senior auditor for 1 busy season if that helps. Helpppp.

My partner and I planned a trip with all of his friends and their wives before I knew I was pregnant. We will be going and I’m 8 weeks pregnant. I considered not going because I feel like without them all knowing I’m pregnant they’re going to think I’m super lame. We decided the best thing to do is just tell his friends (although a bit earlier than ideal) and then take the pressure off me to show up in any way that doesn’t feel good for me. I don’t even know what my question is…..

I have COVID for the first time rn, but I'm currently in MBB case interview mode, so I want to give my body time to sleep so I can rest and do well, but even with sleep aids, my mind is wide awake and wants to convert random improper fractions to decimals in my head, market sizing drills, and more 🤕

I'm cutting back to my usual dose of D3 because I think the higher COVID dose is disrupting my sleep, but how else do you recommend shut down your mind when your ADHD mind won't turn off work.
