I have intentionally and unintentionally missed team meetings. If / when asked why, I tell them I was working on a project.

You apologize, say you got caught up on something and move on

You could tell them you were having internet issue. Or there was an emergency. Or if asked, blame it on technology and say ‘what meeting. I did not have anything on my calendar’

I disagree. Just own that you missed it, apologize if it was important and move on.

Though my current company is an mnc but not that big and no work pressure is there, amazing work life balance. However, there is little to no learning and its very slow, the project is just starting and the client itself is not clear what they want. Do you think I should switch just because its a big 4. Please help me decide. Yoe -3.5

Rant: my boyfriend is so annoying with this diet! I GET IT. You want to eat healthy! But when you have your friends at our place every other weekend they order pizza and you devour most of 2 boxes! But when I want pizza or wings or burgers I have to hear a whole spiel. “Can we pick something healthier?” “You can order ___ but can I choose something else on the menu?” “I don’t knowwww” like MY GOD.

I had the weirdest dream. Criminals were put in a gated community under observation and they had to successfully fake their own death to get out. They were given too many drugs and alcohol. But they end up killing each other or suiciding and no one is left. Once everyone kills themselves they bring in new inmates. It was insane.

My brain needs a rehab now. 🥺

Question for the married 🐠- Have you ever gone to couples therapy? If so, how did it work out for you? Did it help and do you now live your life happily ever after? Or did it just delay the inevitable and you are no longer in a relationship with your significant other? I’ve seen so many people go to therapy only to end up breaking up shortly afterwards and dropping some serious $$$

Gift giving help: every year around this time my husband brings up his Jan bday and basically demands I spend a lot of $ on him. I find this stressful. I don’t do big lavish gifts but each year I feel pressure to or he won’t be happy. When I say this he immediately launches into “haven’t I done this for you, bought that for you”. “If you loved me you would”. His entitlement and manipulation make me feel super resentful and removes the fun of celebrating him. FWIW we earn the same. What to do?

We haven’t had sex for 6 months now… our longest streak. Dated and lived together for 5 years, engaged for 2. The wedding is end of this year and I’m slowly getting doubts if we will be happy in our marriage. We are great in everything else, whether it’s finances, hobbies, personality, etc. We never really had great sexual chemistry to begin with but never thought it would get this bad. Unless I initiate, nothing ever happens and it feels like a chore. What would you do?
