I’d encourage south of uptown. Everything within 5 miles radius is going to be very expensive, if you’re buying. We’re in Matthews and love it - would recommend it or Mint Hint in this area. 15 min drive to uptown on a good day, 40 if you’re in rush hour traffic but we work from home. Before we moved we were in Wesley Heights renting a condo and loved the location but it was more up and coming and sketchy in spots. NoDa has gotten a lot better in the last 5 years (only north spot Id recommend). Plaza Midwood is nice. Second Meyers Park and Dilworth above though don’t believe they’re affordable.

Just bought a house in Ashbrook and have not moved in yet. Chose that area because it’s quiet and has access to good schools. Definitely look at school districts when looking to buy as they can vary wildly. Would not recommend Plaza or NODA because the school districts are not great. We have friends who have nice houses in those areas who are looking to move due to schools.

If you can find a place in Sedgefield, it's awesome! Close to a lot of resturants and bars for a date night, but also great parks for the kid!

Hi guys

This question may not be related. However I wanted to know from personal and family point of view how it is like to relocate from India and live abroad .
Let's say Family consists of husband , wife and a kid . I understand we will get good facilities, education, cleanliness , good air etc , however I wanted to check whether people gel up easily in the new environment? Don't they feel loneliness/ difficult to adjust? Do they look for similar asian nationalities to kill boredom?

35F divorced with a kid. I think I will never get remarried or in a serious relationship again. Lots of men don't like dating women with children. At my age either the guys are past their prime, divorced/ing and have to provide half their income to their first wife. Many with kids live on the same street as their ex wives so they can be close to their child. I'm not comfortable dating guys like that. On the flip side there are the ones that were never married, which by this age cont

Been with my GF since college and we recently hit the 4 year mark. 1-2 years into our relationship I found out she had instances of micro-cheating (flirting with guys, talking to ex’s etc - but nothing physical) and we addressed it. To her credit and my knowledge, she’s been apologetic and great at respecting boundaries since, but I still feel the pain from her actions years ago (and have talked to her about it). Feeling lost about whether to just leave or to try and work things out

I’m hoping to steer clear of any scams by posting & I know it’s been posted before but, again, scams.

With Christmas coming, I’m nervous and dreading the season not only to not have her but will I make it a happy one for the kids. I need extra income but need to be home with them in the evenings.

I teach 4th and 5th grade.
I am not out to my students and families.
I am a very loved and "popular" teacher at school for my ability to build relationships and engage.

I am worried that coming out or rather being outed may affect my ability to build relationships because parents who have issues will inevitably relay certain messages to their children.


Coming out in an elementary setting is different from a middle or high school setting I feel. Anyone else?

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. 😭😭
