Ehh winning someone over with niceness sounds fake. I've been nice to people and not gotten it back in return. Won't change who I am for others.

No. I don't try to win people over with anything, and especially not by being nice.

It used to in past. Always that was nice challenge for me especially to bring Annoyed/disgruntle employees around. However at BIG 4 I met some very strange personalities that I kind of made peace with myself. No matter what I do it's not going to happen with some people.

Anyone here ever been scared by some major differences in materialism with your partner? I’ve been considered “boujee” by some friends but my girlfriend of just over a year is on a whole other level.

I come from a very middle class upbringing, and so does she, although she’s influenced by friends dating professional athletes and stuff

Last night I went over to my friends house (she has 2 kids, 2 and 4 yo). She and her husband were asking me about my pregnancy and planning. And were asking what I’ve prepped to date. I’m only 13w2 days so I think it’s way to early for buying stuff, but I did mention we hired a baby nurse for when the baby comes. My friend completely berated me, short of calling me a bad mom already, saying “what is she going to do all day? Don’t you want to bond with your child?”. I’m so upset by this.

On the topic of intimacy with partners… I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years and the past year his libido has dropped to zero. Mostly due to work stress (he says). Whenever I try to initiate, he always shuts me down and says he’s not in the mood. I even touch him and he gets hard but stops me as soon as I try to unzip him. We went from once a week to maybe once a quarter.

I’ve talked to him about it and he says I should take care of myself. So frustrated. 😭😭
