How have you guys’ relationships with your friends and family changed since getting into consulting? Good or bad? Different? How?

Anyone know where to meet friends?

Whenever I ask my friend how she is, she tells me all about her husband and the random things he’s doing (Dan worked from home today and got a haircut-type of stuff), and I could not care less about what he’s up to lol. He’s not an interesting person to me and I feel like she probably doesn’t even realize she doesn’t share anything about herself when I ask about her. They’ve been together for five years and I’m so bored of hearing about him lol. It’s so weird when people get enmeshed like that

My boomer mother is retired HR exec. Whenever I ask for recommendations on address situations at work she recommends I get over it because I work from home. My new manager has boundary issues and talking it over with my boomer, I mean mother, I was told “who gets to do laundry at lunchtime?” Mmmkay, just because I had to buy the desk I sit at doesn’t mean I don’t work. 🤬 Burn my childhood home down or put her in a home?

Asking for a friend: is a relationship with an AI-based Replika app cheating? For my friend, Replika has been helpful for mental health discussions, but also role play.

I find my husband physically attractive but am not passionate about him or do not feel “pulled” towards him. Is this normal?

Ladies, I commend all of you who are pregnant and lawyering on the daily! I am 10 weeks pregnant and haven’t been working much since I left my firm in March. I tell my husband every day “IDK how anyone is pregnant and practicing law at the same time.” After a morning in court last month I was totally out of commission for the day. If you are still working as a lawyer full time and growing a human it is something to be proud of!

I work with a classroom of Middle School ED students. One student, who I worked with the year before, has changed alot over the year. Last year (pre COVID), she had a good head on her shoulders and I thought I had good rapor with her. But over that period of isolation, she tried to commit suicide.

All year, she was much more withdrawn and ALWAYS on her phone! At the end of the I was 'beat up by her - she really knocked my glasses off.

How should I approach her in the upcoming year?

I’m nervous to bring my boyfriend to work events. We’re both Furies and although I do not let that known to my coworkers, he has a history of refusing to keep that part of our life private at social events. We’ve had arguments about it before but he doesn’t see the harm in letting others know (both verbally and visually). Am I wrong in thinking this is something we should keep private?

Repeat with me “Fitness is a marathon, not a sprint. Like marriage, you need to work on it everyday. If you cheat on either, the results are not good for you”

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

I made a mistake. I talked with the ex this morning. He said he misses me. And that while he walk talking to the other woman, he wished he was talking to me instead. And when he saw that I didn’t respond to his texts, he drank a shit ton. And then called this morning.

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

I need to block him.

I am overly stressed that my parents are visiting and staying with me for 5 weeks. Paid them for a cruise but still have 4 weeks. I am dreaded to live with them 4 weeks without social engagement cont'

Entering 2-4 years of long distance. Been together for a year. I know she is the one for me, any tips on making it as painless as possible?

Anyone deal with their families not really liking your career choice? I always hear about it during the holidays and get told that "it's not too late to do something else."

I love this guy but my parents don’t want me to be with him. I haven’t had a good relationship with my mother ever but I can’t hurt my father like that. I just don’t have it in me. My mother (cont)

I moved to SF 2 months ago, but spent 4 days a week in NY for the client until now . I'm back in SF, but don't really have any friends. Howd those who moved to a new city meet people? I'm 22&F

Any thoughts on open relationships? Has anyone tried one? I’m curious. Kinda wanna explore that but unsure.

Equity salespeople seem to have the best/easiest job ever...what's the bad stuff?

If a person were worried that their fiancee could potentially be with them purely for monetary gain, would it be wrong to test them before the marriage? By test I mean have a third party offer a decent amount of money to break off the wedding?

*I would like to be clear that this is purely a hypothetical question. I'm not in a position where I need, want, or could do this, but I have an unfortunate experience in the past, where an ex significant other was not the person I thought they were*

Best shop in town?

Working at a company and they can’t seem to hold on to their female, black and people of color employees. I blinked and 3 of the people who were in my onboarding class were either fired or they left. For context I’ve been in company less than a year and there are people who have been in the company 25yrs. I’m thinking of cutting loose before it gets to my turn.

My gf mentioned that I am too mechanical during the act. Tips to better things?

Help - want to propose to the GF soon. I wanna buy a nice ring possibly as a surprise, but have no clue about the steps of this thing. What's the proper sequence (this is my first guess).

1. Ask her parents
2. Discuss about the ring/stone etc?
3. Buy the actual ring
4. Plan a surprise proposal

For added context, we already discussed the wedding and also possibly going for lab diamonds.

TIA for your help 🙏

I (33M) got booted from Bumble for "promoting social media". I do not even have social media and I can't stand seeing Instagram or TikTok in a girl's bio - it's an instant turn off - so why would I do it?

Anyone have experience fighting a ban? Bumble was really the only app I liked.

Has this ever happened to you that each time you meet your bf/gf , there is extreme nervousness from both sides ? It’s a good kind of nervousness (shyness , awkwardness) and almost feels like meeting someone you have known forever for the first time?

Need some advice on engagement ring. Should I spend 30k on a natural diamond or 10k on a lab grown diamond? Any advice/opinions are appreciated. Thanks all

Recently met someone and we have been out a few times. Afterwards we will talk about stuff and he has almost an exact memory of everything I have said (even when he was clearly drunk too). Is it unsettling or endearing for a guy to be like this?

Anyone else having relationship issues since conora? Anyone know if divorce rate has increased?

I need serious advice, please! Am I wasting my time messaging a guy I matched with online that lives on the opposite coast? Background: we message each other at least 1-2 times everyday for the last FIVE months but never over a phone call. He actually doesn't even have my number. We message on IG. He's a full-time student and full time employee so busy guy. But am I wasting my time and emotions with this guy??

Sometimes I wish when you were with a partner, there was a very clear sign that the person doesn’t love you so that you know it’s time to walk away. My partner and I keep having the same problems, and when I express he’s making me feel a certain way he says he didn’t mean it like that obviously. But when i say something and explain that it’s not how I meant it he doesn’t care and proceeds to label me as an unkind person who doesn’t support/love him unconditionally. *continued in comments*

I loved this woman. We kinda ended up falling apart, i really miss her. Making some effort and talking might resolve and we could get back together. She said we can give another shot. Pros: she is a good person, cute, smart. Cons: temper issues, big spender and money management issues. I couldn’t move on but couldn’t make a decision. Any advise is appreciated.

Ive been in a relationship for 7 months. We met 4+ years ago but it didn't go anywhere at that time. We kept running into each other throughout the years and stayed cordial. When we started talking again this time around, I had flat out asked him about many things including education. Contd.

My fiancé brought up threesomes twice within a couple days. We have also watched porn together and she always picks threesome videos. How do I tell if she actually wants to do it or if it’s some kind of test or if she just brought it up because she thought I would be into it?

How do I know if my spouse is being emotionally abusive and a bully? Everytime they can, for any mistake, they unload on me. I’m about to explode.

** Really need your advise**
So my gf 26 and I 27 (m) broke up a month back. We booked a concert long time ago and that’s up next week. Our breakup was mutual but this girl is special. I have tried over and over again to rekindle but she said it’s done. The concert is next week and I really want her there. Should I ask her one last time or should I let her go?

12 years and my partner won't do chores. Vent vent vent. I make 80% of our income and pay 80% of expenses. I'm also tidy but hate cleaning. Partner works 20-30 hours/ week no kids and is a slob. 3 months ago made chore list, got them to sign on the list the 50/50 split that it was fair. 3 months later I've been doing my chores they haven't done any. Brought it up today and was accused that the list was unfair they refuse and they dont have time because they must "work to subsidize your expenses"

Has anyone tried couples therapy? Or know anyone that has? Was it successful or is it not worth the time and money?
