Growing up I told my friends I didn’t like hugs because I knew I was bi and I didn’t want my female friends to think I had a crush on them whenever I finally decided to come out...


...anyone? No? Ok I’ll show myself out 😬

Anyone get married or planning to while in school?

How’s your work-life balance at the moment? Do you think research positions allow enough time for us to spend with friends and family?

Shout out to the real homies of mine who say “Text me when you get home!” It’s one of my favorite things to hear to know that someone truly cares.

I know this is a different kind of heartbreak, but I just had to make the difficult decision to go no contact with my parents after years of toxic and narcissistic behavior. It’s a weird feeling of immense sadness but also freedom. Can anyone else relate?

I used to be a special Ed teacher and changed careers to an executive assistant at BMO after facing major burnout from teaching. Now that I’m a first time mom, i really want to work part time or even .75, but I do not want to go back to teaching right now. I am thinking of tutoring- any suggestions on private tutoring vs. tutoring companies?

Just had a company say they would've loved to have hired me, but my having to leave at 6 (and able to work more after kids' bedtime) was a deal breaker. They encouraged me to stay in touch if my situation changes.

I ended my relationship of 6 years about 3 months ago bc he said he might regret not having kids later down the line. we were always on the fence but I’m leaning towards no. It hurts so much having to walk away from an otherwise perfect relationship. Wish this was easier…

This is a long shot but anyone well versed or have a contact for family law in Ghana? Issue- client believes marriage in Ghana was invalid because no papers registered there with the appropriate court clerk office. Now, "spouse"/OP wants to seek spousal support on the basis of being married. Need to talk to someone abt the validity of said marriage.

Are there any mothers here who voluntarily gave primary custody to the kids father? I love my children fiercely but tbh I don’t think I’m cut out to be a single parent. Family and friends tell me I’m a great mom but at the end of the day having them on my own is exhausting and I end up just either letting them do whatever they want Bc I don’t feel strong enough to set a limit about it, or yelling at them. They’re 4 and 7 for reference. Please constructive responses only. Thank you!

Relationship is going pretty well apart from my partner being pretty unhealthy… I like to eat clean in general but she doesn’t like veggies and I’m a little fearful for our future family if she’s just encouraging them to “eat what you feel like” is there anyway to help change this behaviour? Any suggestions? It’s not like I never go eat fast food or what not, just that our frequency of consuming desserts has increased exponentially after we started dating and she doesn’t exercise either

Best self-care tips for dealing with loneliness/sadness this time of year? This is my first Christmas without my mom and it just feels like nothing will ever be the same again 😭. If you’ve lost a parent can you give me advice on getting through the holidays? Being a parentalish figure to my students is both healing and heartbreaking.

What's the best relationship advice you've heard recently?

Just found out my boyfriend of 3 months (talking stage was about 6 months before making it official) slept with his ex a couple times while we were talking. After we agreed to be exclusive. Without protection. I’m so crushed 😞

Hello! I am 1:1 ParaPro for a 7th grader. We’ve been together for 6 years now. Any other 1:1?

Hi Fishes,

Off topic:
I'm 29 and well settled. My parents are forcing me to get married but I don't want to get married at all.
I left home but my parents especially mom is blackmailing by crying everyday. How to convince them that marriage is not an option for me.
Please help

This job is not for women with kids unless you go on some sort of reduced schedule or stay up super late most nights after the kids are asleep. This is so impossible!! 😖 just needed to vent somewhere

Working remotely for a tech co and still can't get over how much more time I get to spend with my kids. To be honest, this alone is worth so much more than money can buy. For those who plan well, I really think exiting can be worth it if family is a priority. It's really helped my marriage also, I'm a lot kinder to my wife with way less stress.

Funny vaguely watch-related story…

Was browsing the web with my wife and typed “stra” into the location field, and “strapfreak.com” autocompleted.

She wasn’t familiar and immediately asked… “I try not to monitor your browsing habits, but is there something you’re trying to tell me?”
