How is your new year resolution going so far?

Mine is actually going great in terms of weight loss for very different reasons I imagined at the start of the year. So are my career resolutions!! Life always loves to throw a curveball at your plans.

How do I figure out spending with my SO? Initially I was paying for 90% of stuff (no actual bills, just going out). I talked to her and said we need to be more even. She was never proactive. She kind of got offended but we ended on a good note to split things. It went well for a couple weeks but now it's back to normal. She never takes out her card and only venmos me if I send her the request. She lets Venmos sit for weeks before paying them. I still let a lot of things slide.

How can I make friends in Chicago?

Getting over heartbreak and having a full time job is torture lol. My boyfriend and I just broke up after almost a year of being together. It was such a beautiful relationship but ultimately he just didn’t love me. I love him so much. My mind knows that I deserve reciprocal love and I’m worthy, but I feel physically ill. My body hurts, my stomach is in knots, my head hurts. How is it that I have to mend a broken heart but also meet my billable hours lmao

People without children should be allowed to make a ‘No Baby Registry’: a list of awesome things they want for themselves. And their friends with children should all buy them something. Who’s with me?

How do you handle family tragedies and emergencies as a freelancer? Going through a very hard & sad situation right now, and juggling how to keep clients are arms length with familial responsibilities is getting, in short, taxing.

Men, how do you make yourself feel sexy and successful?

I feel like, I've dependend on my partners to validate me in those ways. But that makes me insecure & dependent on them. They loved me but idk if they "wanted/desired" me.

To feel sexy, I'm working on losing weight and then building muscle, but that'll take time and fade away with age anyway.

To feel successful, I mean... I have an OK career and savings, but I just don't identify either as success.

Maybe, I just want to feel desired.

What resources would you recommend to find a full time nanny in Houston? Any specific websites, services, groups or places that have worked for you in the past?

My office knows that I recently came out of the closet to my family- which is fine, but making me feel young. Feeling the need to overcompensate as a result.

Feel bad for my mother a lot. Dad is a huge mommas boy, my grandma always has the littlest constant things to say against my mom, her cooking this or that, not cooking enough, cooking too much, my...

Colleagues, if any of you are interested in helping severely disabled combat veterans get homes adapted for their disabilities, let me know. My wife recently started working for former NFL linebacker Jared Allen and his foundation. We're trying to figure out how to leverage the power of the big consulting firms to help our brothers and sisters in need.

A few extravert friends texted me over the weekend, panicking about WFH mandates and being socially isolated. I do not share their pain! Nice of them to care, though ❤️

Does anyone else get severely frustrated with their parent's lack of technical proweress? I feel bad but my parents are so out of the loop it's becoming taxing on our relationship. Any tech intro courses for older adults or anything that can save our relationship? I swear if my mom calls me about how to log into Facebook one more time......

I drink wine from a coffee mug when my mother visits. After she goes to bed. In my bedroom.

Hello. I came to realize that 100% of my work/social problems stemmed from my drinking. By not drinking, I will have much healthier relationships. Day 3, I’m having trouble staying asleep, any tips?

This is the only bowl I can think to post in, but I'm really feeling it today. Has anyone lost their best friend (i.e. through time/growing up) and feel like none of their current friends could live up to the fun/connection you used to have with your high school BFF? I feel like I put too much focus on that one friend and also my boyfriend and just never actually made time for anyone else. I fucked myself over.

Do tech companies like FAANG hire strategy consultants? Starting at an MBB/T2 next year and curious if tech companies leverage consultants as much as other industries. Part of me wonders if they are in such high growth right now that consultants can’t add as much value, thus maybe a smaller presence. Thoughts?

Guys the amazon is burning for 16 days and no one is doing anything about it. We have the power of communication but feel helpless right now. We need to use our knowledge for good What could we do??

According to the GSAP acceptance rates graph, Fuqua sits at 55%. Is it due to yield protection?

I’ve been in a relationship now for two years. We are living together. We talk about the future etc. I could easily see myself marrying her. However, I have an issue… cont

To those with an anxious attachment style and have trust issues due to past childhood trauma you’re still healing from: How do you keep yourself from thinking your significant other is going to cheat on you when she/he goes to a party or out while you’re miles away? I’ve been in therapy to help, and trying to distract myself but my anxiety is keeping it from working and don’t want to put that pressure on him because I’m trying to work on it.

At my uncles wedding in Madrid I remember lying down on the grass in the courtyard after their first dance and crying, my Dad came and saw me, laid down in his suit beside me and asked what was wrong.

“I know my boyfriend wouldn’t dance with me like that at our wedding”

And we just lay there as I cried, and then got up. Had a drink.

Said boyfriend left years ago, and now I have a wonderful man who just asked me what type of dance lessons I want for our wedding next year.

Don’t give up.

Hi Fishes,

GOP is going to flounder their mid-term advantage with their callousness over Ukraine crisis. If this crisis escalate further, it is only a political gift for Biden to unify a partisan divided nation behind a common cause.

A sleepy summer Sunday watching the end of a great test cricket match, grabbing a beer with friends and glorious weather. Honestly it is the first day since covid that life feels normal for me

Anyone else ever make a relationship contact? Think BBT. Both parties want certain things. Both want to show their serious. I proposed writing it in a contract.
