Thinking of jumping ship elsewhere.

I am in a relationship for 3.5 years now. .
We both love each other. Used to enjoy the company emotionally and physically. We took it bit slow as it was 1st relationship for both of us.
For initial years we tried various stuff on bed and we both enjoyed it thoroughly.
And finally last year after 2-2.5 years of dating when we were comfortable enough, we decided to have sex.

But, after many unsuccessful attempts we discover that she might have medical condition vaginismus

Anxious for my brother who lives in Downtown Atlanta and has to go into work tonight. Really want him to be safe amidst the riots. Please please be safe 😭

I am wondering if I can do this. It feels daunting but also I’ve accepted an offer from another company but don’t know if it is what I want but I think I also don’t feel comfortable in my current situation. I wonder how long I could maybe do this but not sure.

I’m going to be taking the bar for the first time. Does anyone have experience with requesting accommodations for the bar exam?

Thoughts on Paul Hastings tech transactions? Specifically the Palo Alto office. Thanks everyone!

New corporate junior associate here. How do you gauge whether you are supposed to finish an assignment over the weekend or if it can wait until Monday? If you get an assignment Friday night, do you just automatically work on it on Saturday or do you ask the partner? How do you ask them (i.e. your exact email response)?

I hate how billable hours are inextricably tied to your sense of worth/achievement in this job

In the morning I just want to move and workout. In the afternoon I just want to play with my kids. Then, I want to make a huge dinner, eat and read books for a few hours. Where to fit m&a work? :D

Starting work next week. Likely WFH the whole year. I have a standard morning routine that I would like to try to keep. What’s a reasonable time for me to start working?

On the other hand, what’s a reasonable time for me to log off? Say I come to good stopping point and I fall asleep around 9:30pm. But then something happens at 10:30pm and i’m asleep… would partners be pissed?

Just trying to navigate some potential issues. Any advice would be great!

Please let this post (if you haven’t noticed the others) be your sign to check in on people. Think about your teams for a minute. If you have someone who used to be really on top of things, and now they’re really not, it could be depression -- not whatever other assumptions you’ve made about what’s up with them.
Does anyone have suggestions for how to professionally ask someone if they’re REALLY okay?
