Has anyone else’s husband just never really given them complements? My husband refuses to because he says it would make it meaningless when he says them (so he doesn’t say I look nice in case on the ~5 times he says it a year it would be ‘watered down’). I really struggle with it sometimes, and it’s also hard because he expects little affirmations from me (which I happily do anyway because I want him to feel loved)

Here 28 weeks pregnant and tired of hearing you would need to do this for better lactation, you would have sleepless nights. Can a new mother not figure out on her own with the right scientific knowledge ? Is it important to go by what your parents , in-laws or known ones tell you ?

What are your thoughts on the everlasting friends debate - cheating or were they on a break?

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?

My son wants to study the same as me, he is only 12 years old, but he has an immense love for biology. In spite of how flattered I feel I can't stop thinking how difficult it is to find a stable job in this profession, is it time to talk about it, or do I wait for a little longer?

Mental wellness: Have been in a long term toxic relationship and always knew he doesn’t respect me. But last evening his texts were so directly disrespectful that am not even angry; am sad. Am usually always very anxious (diagnosed with Generalised anxiety disorder) but after that interaction, I feel numb and slow and seems like my bp has dropped, am walking slowly and I cant talk the usual fast way I talk.

Hi - wondering if anyone has any vegetarian dinner recipes that would wow my GF? Trying to surprise her with dinner this weekend. Thanks in advance

Am I the only 1 that is just tired of all the activism? It’s not that I don’t agree with many of the causes or that I see Change is Needed and Action is Required to achieve it. It’s just I’m exhausted from the extreme passion of activism that seems to be never ending in the current era. It just seems like every conversation I have with any friends they are passionately pursuing a mission of activism they want me to jump on board with them on and I’m just tired.

Any New York attorneys come across any interesting or helpful case law lately? Reading a recent update, there was a decision that said where a parent uses a temporary order of legal and physical custody to exclude the other parent, it's within the Court's rights (with other factors) to interpret that as an inability to coparent and award custody to the prior non-custodial parent. Share away!

I have a 6 month old, and I am 6.5 years out from law school. I would like to start trying to have another kid at the end of this year but feel if I wait a couple of more years to switch firms, no one will consider me since I'll be 8.5-9 years out and trying to break into a new practice area. I am going on 36.5 years old. I don't want to leave now and tell any that I am pregnant within the first year but I also don't want to leave immediately after I return from maternity leave. I feel stuck.

Can we show unequal rent split up between husband & wife for HRA?

How did you pray for a spouse? Any tips you can share?

Looking for advice. My wife and I knew we had to go the surrogacy route to grow our family. However, recently we learned that we may also have to go the donor egg path. Although it is possible for my wife to extract her eggs, it would be an uncommon and low probability procedure. She seems fine with the kid not being genetically linked to her or looking like her. I feel selfish that for me genetically linked and similar looking children is important. Anyone with thoughts/experiences to share? Tx

What’s a reasonable Christmas gift to a girl who I’ve only dated less than a year?

Reached out to an ex after not being in contact for 4 years. Said “Hi, I hope all is well.” No response. Intention was not to get back together (we’re both married now), more to mend fences since we were good friends once upon a time. Was reaching out a mistake?

My closest friend of 15 years told me she's been in love with me for several years. I don't know what to do. She's my closest friend. We talk about everything under the sun. I don't want to lose her. I could feel the pain in her voice as she told me this. She already knows she's just a friend to me. I'm serious about my girlfriend and we've discussed getting married. Is there anything I can do to lessen her pain and preserve the friendship?
