If you want to work in agencies that push for good work, you have to make some personal sacrifices. If you don't want to make personal sacrifices, you make professional ones. Neither is wrong.

I totally agree but there are people who just derive more satisfaction from work than personal life. Takes all types, I guess

You talk about it in advance so you know what each partner is willing to do. Just like you talk about kids and aging parents and how you spend money. It’s not just ad people who do this. Your partner may be the one who needs to move at some point, would you move for them? It’s give and take.
But, most people, once they have kids in school, stop moving and just deal with the market they are in, getting crankier and more bitter as they go.

Male friends - how would you react if new gf made a joke or was sarcastic about your skills in the bedroom.

When to break-up with someone? I’ve been dating my gf for 6 years (2 long distance 1yr on a break and 3 living together. Nothing terrible about the relationship but I’m not happy and no longer feel in love. I’ve tried working it out but haven’t felt the relationship has gotten any better. I feel at this point the best thing to do for both of us is split (she shouldn’t be with someone that can’t love her fully). So here’s the options continued…

Those of you that ended a good relationship, what was the reason?

I recently started seeing someone new and he's mentioned that his religion is really important to him. I grew up in a religious household, but I'm not religious at all anymore. I don't have any strong opinions either way so it's not a deal breaker for me, but it seems to weigh on him a little that we don't share the same beliefs. What can I do to support him and show him I care about his values without it coming across as insincere?

Dilemma: I was friends with a couple that broke up in 2020, known them both since college but closer to the woman. She and I have been talking and hanging since their breakup and gotten closer, and she shared a lot of her frustrations about her ex.

I left a comment on ex's IG and we started chatting about life. He wants to hang (def not a date) and we are still friends, just not as close. Also, both of them work in the industry.

He’s not willing to commit to the other women because he’s not over me.

So… two months ago I started a gig as a CD. Good agency. Very talented people. Pretty quickly I realized that my new job is kinda about keeping up with incoming emails/teams messages. I can’t handle it. For the last month I have been sleeping in, getting out of bed after 11am, like I prefer. Those notifications start coming at around 8am and all I do is press those suggested replies on teams, not even half awake, pretty much still dreaming, and it works. I’m getting lots of good feedback.
