Hi, I am a single-parent with a 9 year old daughter. Is anyone else dealing with same gender sleepovers with sexual exploration occurring? Exploring as in my daughter says outright “I am going to kiss you,” to her bestie before bed. Then after 15 minutes of giggling in bed I go to tell them to be quiet and see my daughter’s bestie is showing her buttcheeks to my daughter. To top it off they start trying to tell me they are laughing because they are reading “belly laugh books for kids”. Help.

I tried to break up with my SO and instead they talked their way out of it for an hour and we're now on a "break" that involves the same amount of contact as before so not really sure what i accomplished

When did you know you were falling out of love with your partner? Did you fix it, or break things off and why?

In search of stories to hopefully understand a phase in my own long term relationship.

Do you think you and your significant other should have similar personalities? My significant other and I are doing long distance and I feel like when I FaceTime with him, I emote more and show interest by asking more questions but from his end, he doesn’t always have a reaction or just nods, and it makes me feel like he’s uninterested. On his end he sees it as he’s comfortable.

Hi, all. I'd love some advice from professional 🐠. I found out my date, who I've dated for 1.5 years with, is addicted to seeking new guys and random hookups on gay apps, almost 24/7. He said that love and sex are different for him. Can I expect him to stop the addiction and love me monogamously?

Hello London folk. There’s a lot of great chat about diversity in adland on fishbowl, but it’s all very US based. So I’ve just started a bowl on diversity in London specifically - 9qo8f

Read a very interesting article on that used machine learning and a lot of data to find key things people look on a relationship:
- Tall (if a man),
- Rich,
- Specific race/ethnicity,
- Similarity to one self (people are 11% more likely to date someone with a similar name)
- Sexy name? I may have to change mine now
- Physical attractiveness
- Occupation of authority - if a man

And these same factors were classified as the ones with the least impact on happiness in a relationship

Ah! A recruiter emailed me saying they saw I applied for a role as a referred candidate, and they are “sharing my resume with the recruiter supporting this role for further review.” Is this a good sign? I’m surprised a recruiter reached out about my application who isn’t the recruiter for the job. Trying to moderate my hope if it’s not actually that promising?
