How much do you spend with your spouse? My current life has me basically working and then spending time with them. Losing myself. Also feel too much time together is driving us apart lol. What’s your healthy balance?

It's one thing to realize that you will be losing credit for FAR. It's another thing when you wife gets mad at you for losing it even though a lot of sh*t has went down over the last 18 months.

I’m feeling guilty and disappointed in myself for not getting fitter during the lockdown. I feel like I’ve wasted 2 months. Any one else feel like this? Any tips to start this journey? I’m drowning in my sorrows

Advice needed please 🙏🏻 for datings apps: when should one reveal that one has a kid?? I’m 38F with a 5 year old and I get the impression men run miles from me

Reached out to an ex after not being in contact for 4 years. Said “Hi, I hope all is well.” No response. Intention was not to get back together (we’re both married now), more to mend fences since we were good friends once upon a time. Was reaching out a mistake?

I’m not sure if I’m overthinking this but I (25M) have a feeling a friend(23F) is hitting on me. Whenever we hang out she’ll get really close and keep touching/poking me whenever we need to turn corners, cross the block, etc because she’s the navigator. When we sit next to each other on the bench she’ll be up on my personal space up. Just a lot of shoulder to shoulder touching. I had other female friends this touchy as well but I wouldn’t think anything of it because some people are touchier 1/2

I really struggle with sharing any personal hardships with anyone, including my wife. Anyone else the same way? Why is it so hard to open up?

Can someone who takes CBD tell me if they actually feel a difference? Or is it all a placebo effect?

Can’t anyone recommend a good sleep doctor?

So had my IUI last Friday, I go for bloodwork this coming Friday. But I’m so tempted to test, I just don’t want to be disappointed… any tips?? I waited this long what’s another few days 😬😩

Hearing rumors that someone who entered the CNN building near Union Station got Coronavirus

At this moment, I am almost depressed. I am in a relationship with this guy for 2 years now. In the past 2 years, we have fought more than we have lived days with peace. We both have high ego problems because of which it’s really hard to resolve a conflict. Things have recently escalated to calling names/swearing and even physically abuse from both sides. We both want to end the relationship, have tried so many times, but we cannot.

Best fertility clinic in London for egg freezing? Any recommendations highly appreciated!

Parents to be: Has anyone not changed their last name and come up with a compromise for naming your kids’ last names? It’s strange to me that the dad’s last name is still the default whether or not the mom took his name. (Apparently I’m in the minority, only 20% of women retain their name) What’s your plan and what’s been your experience? Also very interested in how LGBTQ+ community handles this.

At 8 weeks I’m so exhausted that I can barely function or think straight. Taking midday naps, shutting down early, but I have no energy to work beyond the bare minimum, and especially not for house chores. I feel so guilty but I just want to sleep even though there’s so much to do. Help.

Anyone have breast pump recommendations? Looking for something to use at home and being to work.

Just gave notice...but did not say where I am going. HR says they will send My NDA to my new corporate HR. Is this usual?

Anyone has chronicle migraines? How do you deal with it with overtimes and work pressures?

Genuine question. How can people say that racism isn't a systematic issue in the US?

We had 300 years of slavery, 100 years of Jim Crow, and 50 years of mass incarceration. The original US Constitution said that black people were 3/5ths of human beings. I just don't see how someone can claim that racism isn't a serious historical issue in the US. It's not like all that bad history just magically went away one day.

Curious to hear arguments to the counterpoint.

Has anyone checked out Levain Bakery in the West Loop? Is it any good?

Anyone in California familiar with SB 9 and 10. Curious if you lot split a single family home that is currently zone multi-family as when I was reading the bill it said it was for single family. Just wondering if anyone might have any insights from their research. Thanks!

How much time does Wipro take to release an appointment letter after accepting the offer letter ?

Hi! 26.5 weeks and already feel done. Gonna be a long 3 months from here.

Hello. What cleaning products are you using at home while you are pregnant ?

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year. With timing of our performance conversations I would have to inform I’m pregnant before outcomes - then shortly after the promotion effective date I would go on a leave for due date. I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?

Any advice on TTC after ectopic pregnancy? Seems like it won’t happen for me. It’s been 7 months

Anyone else find it weird for their male boss to WhatsApp you asking about how you are (prior to your due date and prior to giving birth)? He has my private WhatsApp because he insisted and I stupidly in hindsight obliged. Just wish I knew how to politely get out of this. I figured I'd email HR like they told me once I gave birth and at some point email him as a courtesy :/ i live in Germany so am already on mat leave hence why he doesn't know yet if I've given birth.

Hello and congratulations to you all! About to be a first time father, as my wife is due in the first week of the new year ☺️

Has anyone worked at Deloitte in a sales executive role?

Hi all, new to fishbowl. I am currently a PTA working in homecare. I am considering changing career paths to non-clinical. Everything I search for available jobs in the pay range that I need seems to come up as sales, (Sr, executive, etc) I have zero sales experience, but could see myself working as a healthcare liason, recruiter, care coordinator, or pharm sales rep. I live in Dayton, OH. I would love some insight or feedback. I also see Gpac recruiting popping up, is this a reputable co? Ty!

This is random so get ready-
We have a purebred, Italian French Bulldog who just had...wait for it...11 puppies. Yes, you read that correctly. The ultrasound tech told us to expect 4-6. So...uh...hmmm. We are very excited about the puppies-they’re going to be gorgeous. However, we need to make sure we have buyers for all of them. At the moment we have 5 secured. I’m legit. DM me for information & pricing.

Weird timing and all given the awful thing that just happened to Lady Gaga’s dogs. 😩

Is it a red flag for a dr to ask for a specific medication? I’m seeing a new psychiatrist tomorrow and have a diagnosis already but want to try a different medication. I’ve done extensive online research and there’s one that I know is a bit pricey but I’d like to try. I obviously need her input to ensure it would be safe for me to take.

Not able to do upper body workouts at the moment due to a likely torn rotator cuff. Worried I will fall into old habits and not get back into the the gym when ready. What are some tips to keep this from happening

Any advice for first Orange Theory class?

Any OTC recommendations for dandruff shampoos? (Seborrheic Dermatitis)

Ladies, have you ever had a week of insomnia or irregular sleep pattern during your menstrual cycle? Like not getting deep REM sleep?

Hi all! Could use some help. I’ve been working out consistently (mostly elliptical and lifting weights) and I’ve been eating well but my weight is not dropping. I know I’m building muscle but I’d also like to drop a lot of lbs too. For context, I weigh 205 lbs but I don’t “look it” (idk what this means but that’s what everyone tells me) as I am curvier and have large hips. Are there specific workouts I should be focusing on to drop the lbs? I’m tired. 😭

Best cotton ladies panties for exercise/no wedgie?

Anyone ever do ice sculpting or laser fat removal for stomach ?

Women with curly hair - I would like a non-shea conditioner recommendation.

Blepharoplasty— has anyone done it or know someone who has ? I’m considering doing it

My mom is mid-50s and has started having what appear to be mini blackouts. Her face contorts like she is laughing or crying, and she is unresponsive for 5-10 seconds. When we ask her what is wrong, she has no idea what we are talking about and no memory of the event.

Any idea what this might be or how to even begin the diagnostics?

No change in diet/exercise, but have accumulated multiple cuts - including deep cuts - on hands that have not healed (whether due to nutrient deficiencies or stretching of skin from all the handwashing). As natural healing will not occur without action, what are some measures I can take and specific products (moisturizers are not enough) I can apply to expedite this healing process? I developed Pavlovian symptoms to refrain from moving hands beyond neutral position for pain/damage prevention 😭

How do you envision gyms opening as part of phase 2? Going to be very difficult to add in restrictions and guidelines in my opinion. Should go for an all or nothing approach and not even think about placing restrictions on my hot yoga class.

Has anyone found core work that is fun? Any equipment, classes, or novel exercises outside the norm that will get me to do it? I just can’t bring myself to do the normal core isolation, but I need the strength there.

Started an 8 week healthy habits routine on Monday. Feeling amazing. Here’s my plan. Would love to have some feedback on this.

Has anybody got Covid again in a month?

Anyone have perspective on taking creatine and partying on the weekends? I don’t drink during the week but I know alcohol and creatine both go pretty hard in terms of dehydrating your body. Recently passed the 3 week mark of taking creatine (5 days a week), and again, only exclusively drink on the weekends. Bad mix? Good in moderation? And btw I regularly hit a gallon a day of water intake.
