Girlfriends mother attempted suicide last Friday (didn’t go through). We are long distance and she had panic attacks all weekend before calling me today to break up with me. I had no idea. Said she doesn’t have emotional capacity to be in a relationship. Not looking for advice, just heartbroken for her and for our relationship. I loved her more than I’ve ever loved anyone in my life and she pushed me away 😞

Posting this to get advise from people who have been in a similar interracial marriage situation -
I’m an Indian guy dating an American/Caucasian girl for close to 3 years. Going to be engaged soon and we plan on getting married next year. I came out to my conservative parents about it a couple of months ago and there’s been a lot of backlash.
1. My dad thinks that Americans have a fuck around culture and that marriage with an American doesn’t last for over 5 years (Insane)

I've been looking into applying to a position as a medical social woker in Banner. I am currently doing private practice therapy and have noticed that doing counseling 24/7 is not for me. I would love to work with people, helping people and providing a more "group" mentality of help such as classes. Is this even possible?

Planning to move back to our hometown before the baby is due which would make me about 6-7 months (move in April, due date is early July). Is it worth it to try and find a new job the last couple months of pregnancy or should I use that time to settle in to our new place before baby arrives?

Yes this bowl is needed. Support needed. I’m estranged from most of my family. And one is very Sick and i feel guilt. This person hasn’t helped me in times of need nor been a good person to me. Yet I still feel guilt. Why? Because they are family and I think that is what I should do.

Is there anything worse than a “ Director” that isn’t technical? One job ago had a director get assigned to oversee my team. We were a M365 team. Director didn’t know anything about the products and tried to implement agile to run day to day. I still have nightmares about it. I left 60k rsus just to run away from that company. Best move I’ve ever made, but damn. Feels good to vent about it.

Older attorneys keep trying to force dictation on me. I’m a newer lawyer and have trouble verbalizing my motions and legal writing for complex issues I am just beginning to understand. I don’t see how constantly waiting for my secretary to get me drafts of my dictated material is going to make me more efficient. Is it unreasonable for me not to want to dictate? It seems really outdated and when I write things myself they are 10x more coherent and take about the same amount of time.

The 🇺🇸 is doing the WORST in the 🌎 with COVID and people actually want 4 more years of this 💩????? Well ok i like wfh so all good.

I am starting to feel like I suck at my job. I have been doing it for about 7 years. I always get told that I am good at what I do however I've been making dumb mistakes at work. I have no desire to do anything and I just feel like people are starting to realize that I'm really not as good as they once thought I was

Relatively strong balding in my early 20s has given me some bad confidence issues and I have some preexisting conditions that preclude me from the typical pills. Just gonna buzz and hit the gym lads, I guess

I have a friend I used to be close with but we’ve grown apart over the years. She hasn’t worked in several years yet supports herself in NYC, focusing most of her energy on dating. Only wealthy men. Recently she had a fling w a guy for a couple months and got pregnant. They had a huge fight and broke up, she was distraught, and I impulsively offered to fly to NY for her abortion so she wouldn’t have to be alone. Then I found out she basically blackmailed him to pay her almost $100k (contd)

You can bring your religion too just keep it to yourself. Come on fishes let’s get loving.

I really like him, but for the life of me I literally freeze up and can’t hold a conversation and it’s annoying. I feel like he’ll just move on/think I’m not interested or that I don’t know what I want. I’ve been away from the dating scene for yearssss and generally timid, but in the past if I really liked a guy I would talk…unless I’m tripping😭. Any tips?

I don’t know how to mail out letters 🥺 Just not sure what all goes on the envelope
