A very good technique that I apply is to respect the times, for me, there is a sacred time to work and another sacred time not to work, and as both are sacred they must be respected.

Setting boundaries is everything. If you don't put limits on the hours you work, it's inevitable that the other aspects of your life will suffer.

The thing is we're humans, not machines. We need time to recharge and unwind so we can perform our best. It's because I love my job so much that I allow myself to walk away from it and come back to it when I'm operating at full. You should value your personal time just as much as you value your work time.

I've been working remotely for the past two years, and it's been great. I love working from home and being able to watch my kids grow up through their eyes as they play around me. But sometimes, when you're in this kind of situation, it's hard to know what to talk about with your coworkers.

Has anyone experienced blame shifting? In my romantic relationship we’re in sync 97% of the time but if I’ve constructive criticism, the dynamic flips, so I apologize to deescalate. I can’t ask for changes much. Like “next time you need spreadsheet help, try to plz anticipate it & not need it at 10 at night?” I’m reading that criticism’s perceived as a narcissist injury, oy! Years of therapy give me empathy but I’m discouraged. My partner’s amazing, but doesn’t have the tools. How can I help?

Anyone else in this bowl enjoy being single and gay in their 30s? E.g.

All traditional social expectations for someone in their 30s to have a family and settle down are thrown out the window and for that I’m grateful; it’s freeing.

My husband and I have had problems for years. He used to basically give me next to no affection, our sex life barely existed (incl. his absolute refusal to do foreplay … ever!) and his general dismissal of anything I enjoyed (my hobbies were boring to him). Over the last year I just gave up trying and accepted we may need to divorce. Now he is trying a lot- he puts in a lot of effort. While a few years ago this would have made me happy I feel like it’s too little too late, I just don’t care ..

Okay, it’s time to stop putting on a face about this. I love my boyfriend so much, but covid is ruining us. We are both still WFH and argue every few days about the dumbest stuff.

My stomach hurts every time we fight and I (independent of him) feel so stuck in this horrible global crisis. I don’t want to lose him, but I need to figure out how to dig us both out of this unsustainable mental state.
