Have you ever cried at work? I have a handful of times, unintentionally. One was because of something personal that happened that I found out about at work and the other time was caused by a very unfortunate discharge situation that was happening between a kid and family…. I obviously don't recommend crying at work all the time but sometimes it happens and at the end of the day, we aren't robots….

Yes I have cried at work. My case was a time when something personal was going on, and then something happened at work, and it was just the straw that broke the camel's back so to say. Something I also try to avoid! But we are all just humans and just doing our best every day.

Amen 🫶🏼

OP I have cried at work a number of times and I have even cried in front of my manager. I think we all get to a point where we can't hold it in, be that because of stress or something else going on. We are all human with emotions though and I don't fault anyone for crying at work.

This is really good to hear because in my experience, ppl make you feel shameful about it. So thank you for being a refreshing presence on the internet!!

Honestly yes, I have cried at work several times. Some times everything hits you all at once and crying cannot be avoided. There is a private bathroom at my company I try to make it to before the tears come rushing out of me. I try to hide the fact that I had been crying but my face turns beat red and my eyes get puffy so it can be difficult for me to hide.

uplifting

I'm the same way… there is no hiding it for me so I need a solid 20-30 to regroup if I have to be around other ppl

I don’t understand how someone can lie about loving you for 6 months. We were together for almost a year (broke up a week before our anniversary). I said I love you first and he said it back. I asked for more reassurance last month with saying I love you more often. Now all of a sudden he said he didn’t know if he loved me and that love meant marriage for him. Okay well great thanks for telling me this now, 6 months after it was initially exchanged. I don’t understand how he could do that.

Looking to spark a discussion here..
My wife and I both of us extremely busy execs with a heavy duty work schedule have an interesting dynamic: It doesn’t matter what time of the night but it’s usually 2,3,4,5 am - she wakes up and disregarding that I’m completely asleep wants action from me. She’ll climb the hill or poke it. This gets me frustrated at times given that I really need to recharge at night, but usually ready to go at 8am - how can we work through this situation?

Folks,
Have been married for 15 years and have a kid of 11 years. My spouse is falsely accusing me of domestic abuse and trying to get separated.

She has taken my kids passport and kept it with her. What are the options I have to defend myself?

Been having trouble moving on since girlfriend ended relationship 3 weeks ago after 2+ years of dating. Before ending it she came over 3 weeks prior to basically give me a chance to work things out and we had a good discussion but then I went back into our routine and didn’t really fight for it or have serious follow up convos that we needed. Now I just have so many regrets that I let her go. I know we still love each other and left on “good” terms but can’t forgive myself for my lack of action.

TLDR: Getting over your ex of 2.5 years ghosting you after they said they wanted to reconnect.

I was dating someone for about 2.5 years and then we broke up because of COVID and the long distance was making it too difficult to continue. The break up must’ve been like a 4-5 minute FaceTime because I was very distraught. After we broke up, she started seeing someone else but I was heartbroken and it’s taken me over a year to really get over everything and process those feelings. (Cont.)
