How do you go about making friends in NYC? Making genuine friends in your 30’s is definitely not as easy compared to when you were 5 😩. I’m F/35. I tried Bumble BFF, but so far I haven’t really clicked with anyone, or all they want to do is bottomless brunch (I mean brunch’s are fine, but not all the time). I want to go to events and do activities, I’m adventurous. I have also done meetup events as well. I’ve just been doing all the things I want to do solo and enjoy my own company.

Seeing local parents reacting to the public school lottery results in DC, got me super nervous about when it’s my kids turn.

I hate the idea of having so little control.

Meeting a guy through arranged marriage setup (I am south asian), the guy thinks that girls don't need to work after marriage as husband takes care of expenses , I want to say no to this person for proceeding . basically I feel this person lacks common sense that 2 incomes is better than one in a household. what is the best way to reject this potential groom candidate ?I feel a girl need not sacrifice her career after getting married , as marriage is not life it is part of life.

Okay, we live in an pet friendly apartment in downtown Chicago. I love dogs while my SO is just getting comfortable with so many of them in our apartment complex. I really really want to get one home but it might just bum him out. Any leads on how to approach this situation? I thought fostering might help.

Reunited with an ex and things moved very fast with the two of us spending a lot of time and nights together but we waited to consummate the “relationship”. Recently, he shared that he wasn’t in a position to be in a relationship right now and felt like he didn’t have enough to offer me but he cared deeply for me and was very attracted to me. Admittedly, he isn’t financially well-off and is heading back to school to finish his degree (we’re in our 30s) but it still hurts a lot.

Boyfriend and I have been dating for ~1.5 years and we still only spend weekends together. I want to move in together at the 2 year mark but bf thinks it’s too soon... just feels our relationship is stagnant and not going anywhere. Any thoughts from ppl who’ve gone through similar situations?

Dear boomers: please stop believing everything you see on Facebook or Twitter is the truth. You guys have no idea how many times I've had to chat with my parents about the fact that if an image or a text post isn't coming from a proper source, then it was probably written by some teenager in their bedroom. Anyone else?

It’s been 6 years but still feel lots of jealousy about my ex and his wife. I’m married as well now, and I don’t have feelings for him, but can’t help but want the worst for them or for my life to be better. Anyone else feel like this? What did you do to get over it?

I feel like I am drowning. My mom’s first year anniversary is coming up, things are not good at home with my dad and sister, I am about to breakup with my SO, and deeply unsatisfied with my job.

Just 5 weeks left of school before summer. Is anyone else having trouble keeping their students engaged?

I have been dating my gf for 6 months now. She’s a nice enough girl to hang out with but recently I’ve been feeling as though the effort in the relationship is really imbalanced. For example, she never offers to pay for dinner, never offers to cook for us (I do it), never buys gifts and doesn’t want to have sex (she she’s a virgin and wants to be sure I’m committed before she’s ready but she is happy receiving oral though).

Am I a sucker here? I’m 27, she’s 25.

So my partner and I been dating for 5 months. But he's a man of literally very few words. What can I do to connect with him on deeper level, or any suggestions of questions I should ask him? To get know him better or to open up

How to forget bad memories of a person?

I don't have any friends in banglore. It is hard for me to find friends cause i am always that aloof kid who in addition is not straight so can't even bond with my teammates. How do people live like this. Even my flatmates don't talk . : (

Mental wellness: Have been in a long term toxic relationship and always knew he doesn’t respect me. But last evening his texts were so directly disrespectful that am not even angry; am sad. Am usually always very anxious (diagnosed with Generalised anxiety disorder) but after that interaction, I feel numb and slow and seems like my bp has dropped, am walking slowly and I cant talk the usual fast way I talk.

What are you doing with your students this week? School ends with a half day on Thursday and I'm doing worksheets all week and we're watching Elf on Wednesday. Trying not to feel bad about doing a movie day, the kids are tired and so am I.

I have ADHD and executive dysfunction, resulting in horrid eating habits my whole life. My body just doesn’t tell me it is hungry and pre-pregnancy, I could go days without eating. My husband is the same way. I am panicked about staying on top of baby feedings and noticing patterns. The Pocket Nanny tracker where you press the button of the feed, diaper change, etc, seems to be popular but doesn’t log it anywhere. Has anyone heard of these and have a recommendation for one that logs as well?

Bf said on video he made his decision to breakup, and asked to meet on Sunday to talk in person. If he’s already decided, what’s the point of meeting up and break up one more time? (He said we have very different values. He thinks I look for stability, quality time, family, have a place, someone to come home to when he wants to travel and build businesses. He feels like the relationship is not letting him do what he wants to do at max capacity because of resistance he feels from me)

He left 3 weeks ago. He’s still my first thought every morning, and I think about him for hours everyday. Normal? When does it go away?

When is the right time to jump if you entered consulting after MBA? What level gives you the biggest ‘title bump’ in industry?

Interviewed for a senior analyst position, given salary and equity upfront, and was told I was obvious candidate and qualified.

Got offer but HR apparently thinks since role requires 4 YOE, I don't qualify for senior position and thus the salary and equity bands are ~10% less.

Is this red flag? Or is this typical HR bullshit I should respect? How hard is it for a mid size company to make exceptions, or am I being given the runaround?

I have been approached with an opportunity at JP Morgan Chase for their private client advisor role. The book is about 30M all in. I am currently an experienced hybrid asset manager wholesaler and have experience in advising as well. Curious about the opportunity with JPM and if it’s worth it. I currently make about 160k and if JPM would give me a high draw for the first 3 years to build, and if it’s feasible to sustain that 160+ there.
