Hi 👋 anyone with currently deployed SO?

During family prayer - my mom takes nearly 40 minutes every single time (this is 2x a day, morning and night). She speaks a different language and I barely understand. How can I lovingly tell her to take less time?

Where are you in your own path to parenthood?

Friends are ignoring me after they got promoted and I didn't. Really didn't think I would see this day :( How should I handle this?

Recos for a vacation with my SO in mid-novemember. Thinking of hikes or any other outdoor activities (minus skiing). Can take a flight fwiw. Thank you

Just woke up from a dream that my ex's new girl posted a video with the two of them all happy and introducing him to her parents 😔

How do I figure out spending with my SO? Initially I was paying for 90% of stuff (no actual bills, just going out). I talked to her and said we need to be more even. She was never proactive. She kind of got offended but we ended on a good note to split things. It went well for a couple weeks but now it's back to normal. She never takes out her card and only venmos me if I send her the request. She lets Venmos sit for weeks before paying them. I still let a lot of things slide.

A relative is raising a teenage son with her ex-husband. They have joint physical custody. The ex-husband has re-married. When the son is in his care, he often leaves the son at home in California with his (new) wife when he travels for work (which is often). The relative wants her ex-husband to leave their son in her care when he travels out of town but the ex-husband disagrees. The relative wants to know her chances of prevailing if she were to appear in court on this issue. Thoughts? Thanks!

With my wife for 14 years, 2 kids under 8y - both under a lot of pressure bc Covid/work/private life/… and have been (unconsciously) running away from our couple not working “since a long time” (dixit my wife). We want to try and fix it, but I also met someone new (not sure if she would even want me) and wondering if it’s worth fixing it (since we are trying/running/avoiding it for years) - just worried about the kids…any advice

The last guy I was with is back with his ex girlfriend. I know he’s been unfaithful to her for years. Ways to tell her? Or just let karma get him eventually? I’d just want to know if I were her.

Been living with my parents for a year to save money. We Get along well and have few issues. However I feel like I am not enjoying my 20s because I don’t want to put my parents at risk (I am responsible with covid, barely go out). Do you think it is worth it to move out and pay rent even though things are not normal anymore or should I just stay and save and invest knowing things go back to normal soon?

why do i struggle when my s/o isn’t texting me? ik they’re not cheating on me, ik they still love me, all that jazz.

but for some reason i’m not at peace when they take some time to themselves.

any tips or advice?

I think I want to be in relationship, but I fear that I actually am just lonely and not actually ready for relationship.
I desperatly want someone that I can spend time with, laugh with, and tell good news to amongst so much else.
I don't know what to do or if anything can be done...

Thoughts anyone?
