Getting over heartbreak and having a full time job is torture lol. My boyfriend and I just broke up after almost a year of being together. It was such a beautiful relationship but ultimately he just didn’t love me. I love him so much. My mind knows that I deserve reciprocal love and I’m worthy, but I feel physically ill. My body hurts, my stomach is in knots, my head hurts. How is it that I have to mend a broken heart but also meet my billable hours lmao

I feel for you... I'm literally going through the exact same thing... except mine was cheating.... pretty sure a serial cheater to boot.... Dated for 10 years, had our house for 8, married for almost 8 and have a soon to be 4 year old daughter... People absolutely suck. Im suffering with you my friend... Stay strong

Here take these you deserve them. 🌻🌹 Hope things get better for you and your daughter

I had to deal with similar a few years ago. I got a mental health note from my doctor and I was approved for a 3 month FMLA. Spent that time learning and healing. I even started applying to jobs to test the water and got 1! 20k raise, and relocated to a new city and into my first apartment. The breakup was a blessing and I’ll never speak to that man again. So what I’m saying is, do what you need to do to make YOU better. It definitely hurts to breakup, but they just lead you to the right person. So that, that’s a blessing in disguise. Sending hugs OP. I know you’ll do amazing

Try to focus on giving yourself the love your SO could not. Sounds cheesy but distract yourself w high performance at work, your favorite workout to release endorphins, cozy things that make you feel good, reaching out to friends to have someone to fill the void of texts, calls, plans to look forward to. Yes, allow yourself to be sad but give yourself a time limit and don’t live there. Good luck, we’ve all been there sadly!

My SO adds very little to our relationship. She has a dead end job. I cook. I work. I oversee finances. I plan trips. She doesn’t have a voice in the relationship. I’ve asked her to give her perspective but she always defaults to mine bc she thinks I’m smarter/worldly. She feels intimated by me and my social circle. Lately, I’ve found myself thinking for her. Anticipating her wants and needs and then adjusting my behavior to meet them. Which she appreciates but it’s frustrating 29M 27F

I recently quit my job. My VP was a narcissist and never really looked out for my upward progression even though he said he was my sponsor. Whenever I would do a solid job, he would always down play it or give the mid-level mgr credit even though other people / management acknowledged it. But we still got along. When I gave my two week notice, I did not meet up or talk to him (I cancelled a good bye 1-on-1 b/c I was over it) - sent a short thank you email instead and ghosted. Was this justified?

I miss music. Like actual bands with instruments and vocal ability. Feels like the music industry is so hollowed out that multi-member instrumental bands like Fleetwood Mac, The Beatles, and even Metallica are no longer able to take root.

There are a few talented individual singers (Adele) a lot of awful mumble rappers, but no actual bands that will stand the test of time. Before I get called a Boomer, the problems with the music industry for new artists are well documented.
