How do people make friends in Boston? I haven’t made friends here since college... not sure if I should be trying to expand my network.

Hello! I am being asked to create a "back to school" shopping list for my art class. What would you suggest asking for from parents? I'm moving to a new school with no former art program.

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to seek help but I need it desperately. I'm a sex addict and I can't stop. I have been with my wife for almost a decade and I have lost count of the number of women I have cheated on her with. I have been "lucky" that she has never found out but I literally can't stop. I feel ill lose everything if she discovers this and I truly and deeply do love her. I just don't know how to fix myself. Please help!

Folks who are going to school this year - are ye planning on living with others or having your own place?

Being single in this quarantine is the worst thing ever. This could have been such a fantastic bonding time with our S/O (if only we had one 🤷‍♀️)

Current working as a Director of Sales and Marketing at a large hotel chain. I am now trying to branch out to a work from home position as I have a special needs bonus daughter who we now have every other week 💜. Would love to find something full time from home within the industry, or in the travel market so I can be with her.

Can someone please explain why some people bring up past emotional hurts during arguments even if you’ve apologized for them and they haven’t happened again? But they still feel the need to weaponize this moment and throw it in your face. And before anyone asks, no it’s not infidelity… just looking for advice/insight here

Feeling lonely due to lack of social interactions with friends and coworkers. I don’t think I’m old enough (25M) or “ready” to get married and also find getting married to fill the loneliness to be an invalid reason - so any tips on how to deal with this better ? Half the time I just want someone to talk that understand but live in the suburbs with parents (I do talk to them and have a good relationship just they don’t understand somethings)

I am seeing a guy and having a hard time thinking about him in terms of long term relationship. One thing that bothers me is that he never showers after he comes back from the gym and I told him that I find it nasty. We currently live separately so I don't have to see him after he works out which is a good thing but I can easily see this being a problem in the future. Any tips? And NO I don't want to go to therapy lol

Is it common to have work fling(s) even though one of them (in some cases, both) are married?

This is the hardest time of year for me because I can’t get outside and now I can’t safely socialize with friends inside. If you are struggling too, I see you and I am with you!

As a divorcee with a kid, i find it extremely hard to find friends who can relate, or even making friends as it seems there’s a stigma attached to you because your relationship didn’t work out.

Girlfriend of 3 years cheated on me right before we were supposed to leave the state and move in together. We broke up about 4 months ago. I couldn’t demonize her, so I’m still struggling with processing it and idk what to do. I’ve been looking into therapy, but I can only do online which leaves me hesitant. Any advice would be appreciated.

Anyone have kids that struggle with night terrors?

My daughter had one for the first time last night and it scared the crap out of me. It was like she didn’t know who I was.

ADVICE THREAD

Feel like sharing advice? Which info would have changed your life if you only had known back then?

Any kind of advice is accepted 😉

Curious... for the those with kids, how have you set your kids for financial success?

Anyone here either go to a top public school or send their kid(s) to one? I’d love to ask some questions for a project I’m working on.

I am long distance with my boyfriend and am feeling really unsettled about our relationship. We’ve been together 9 months, and long distance for 4/ 9. I love him and am lonely while distanced, but super happy with our relationship. I’m unsettled about the future and if we will be happy together in the future. I do not want to move to where he is located and he does not want to move here. He definitely wants kids, and I’m younger and more unsure. He’s a suburbs guy, and I want lavish city life.

I can sacrifice an entire weekend cleaning my house so that wife's friend can spend the week. When I ask for a couple hours to help get the house clean so a house cleaner can effectively clean I'm told that's my prerogative and get no help. Well fuck me for being tired of living in a messy house.

I’ve been helping couples navigate the challenges of infertility for over 20 years now. Recently, I’ve noticed more couples feeling apprehensive to continue treatment because they are worried about potential repercussions if they miscarry during the IVF process. Honestly, I’m not sure how to reassure them because I also feel afraid, but I just want to continue supporting these wonderful couples & families. I would be heartbroken if they ended up suffering more because of their treatments. I’m just feeling so conflicted & sad today after meeting with a couple who decided to postpone treatment.

Are there single people in here? WHAT are you doing different to get/meet a partner?

Those of you who moved on from being a teacher and into the Ed Tech world, where did you find your jobs? I’ve taught science for 11 years and worked as camp director / program manager this summer. I’ve easily applied for over 50 remote jobs but never hear back from the various companies. Has the hype around teachers transitioning to Ed Tech been overblown? THX

I tried out a career and I'm currently miserable in it and want to figure out how to use the degrees I have to find something I find fulfilling. I don't want to go back to school and start over with that process. If anyone has any advice on what websites or resources to explore to figure out what careers and jobs are comparable with my degrees or if anyone has any information or experience with this please hit me up. I have a degree in biology and teaching credential

Any thoughts on the fire in the job market now a days..?? How long will it last or is it at its peak?

Anyone that has been at Accenture as well as Deloitte have any insight into the group culture? Is there much of a difference to those that have made the change?

So I start my new role as Revenue Cycle Manager, South Bay Division in about 2 weeks! I’m super nervous. I’m scheduled to meet with the Senior Director and the East Bay team. This will be my first real management job leading a team. Any advice for a new manager? Training tips?

Just scheduled a meeting to go over an offer for a Senior Engineer role. When asked what I would need to make in order to leave my current job, I said at least $160k depending on benefits (I know I shouldn't have given a number).

I make a little over $145k now, plus stock options, a monthly home office stipend (fully remote), and your usual health benefits.

Assuming their benefits are comparable to my current position, have I given up all negotiation power by providing the initial number?

So has anyone figured out where is this top secret Apple Silicon design lab?

Andor is really, really good.

How much did you spend on your partners engagement ring?

I just spent $100 on pumpkin candles.

Getting this off my chest… few folks in my leadership randomly talk about how they had MBB offers out of business school but they picked big 4 strategy. 😑 Like don’t they think about how this almost sounds incredible to believe.. It sounds like they need to name drop. That’s my rant.

I’d try to make a living making Mike Honcho videos (any Talladega Nights fans out there?!?) before I ever went back to an office.

We are having a beach day at our company picnic, I have 4 large tattoos that no one piece swim suit is going to cover. They’re not inappropriate but I also don’t want to show them. Body makeup looks weird and unnatural. Thoughts?

I frequently text myself things. Quotes. Recipes. TikToks I find hilarious and want to watch again. In the fecking nanosecond it takes for the text to come back to me, I forget I’ve sent it and am startled when my phone dingles and vibrates while I’m looking at it. Like physically startled. Small twitch and heart skips a beat. Every. Single. Time. What is wrong with me?
