How soon after marriage do guys start demanding kids? Asking for a friend

As a straight male, the world would be safer if no men existed. Men commit most of the problems and crimes this world has. I was having this discussion with my girlfriend and I didn’t realize how bad the male gender is.

what are the biggest red flags in a distance relationship? I would say being spotty on communication is the biggest one for me.

My closest friend of 15 years told me she's been in love with me for several years. I don't know what to do. She's my closest friend. We talk about everything under the sun. I don't want to lose her. I could feel the pain in her voice as she told me this. She already knows she's just a friend to me. I'm serious about my girlfriend and we've discussed getting married. Is there anything I can do to lessen her pain and preserve the friendship?

I have a connection who until recently included the following in her “about” section:
Single mom of 2 teenaged sons.
Tattooed CPA.

I feel like the world has gone crazy.

How to politely tell my partner stop spending too much time on playing video games? It was my false at first. I introduced Zelda breathe of the wild to her and now, she is hooked. She even played game when we had the movie night. I chose the her movie style but she let me to watch it alone and silently turned on the game, and played it while pretended to watch the movie with me. That’s not fun at all. What should I do? Any advice please?

Totaled my A4 last night. Likely going to be in the market for something new, shortly. Would like it to be easier to put two kids in.

I think since I became a real estate agent my friends are avoiding me... it's like they think I see them as "prospects" rather than my pals. Hard to get out of salesman mode at the end of the day though.

Reneging due to relationship change.

Accepted a job in city to be closer to LDR GF. Now it looks like my relationship will end and I’m having second thoughts on the job. Is this a shitty excuse to reneg?

We had new neighbors move in across the street a few months ago. A couple with a child of about 7 years old who clearly has a cognitive disability of some sort (I suspect autism). I’m becoming concerned about him. He seems to spend a good amount of time alone outdoors. He often flags down passers by to chat. I thought perhaps his parents kept an eye on him through the window, but today he was hanging on a neighbor’s front stoop for a good half hour. I went over to talk to him and see if (con’t)

My family/friends ask me for store discounts all the time. It's really uncomfortable to say no, but I have to. Any tips on how to handle these conversations?

Do you love your SO? Or is it just convenience?

I need some help. I love my partner but her insomnia is just painful.
She won't meditate. She won't do something relaxing. She won't get out of bed and reset when she can't sleep. She just lays there and then she gets frustrated and around 2am she's just a ball of tears because she can't sleep. I of course, wake up and comfort her and help her get to sleep but this can't keep going on.
Any suggestions for insomnia, this has gone in for 5 years?

Idk what to do anymore. A few years back I struggled with gambling addiction and put myself in so much debt and never told anyone. Fast forward I have a gf who thinks I’m successfully but I am drowning in debt still that I truly don’t know how I’ll get out of. Can’t keep up with bills and put this front up much longer. Absolutely miserable

I’m feeling so depressed. My project is remote and I hate it but no way out. Looking for a new job. I just moved out on my own after living with parents, but now I cry all the time even though (contd)

How long do you cry after breakup? I cried for one night, and felt weird day after. Now I feel like I am way better, maybe it was because I know it had to happen (even if I was the one who got broken up with) and probably I see that more than hurt of relationship ending

Anybody here that few up in household where mom or dad had an affair? How did it affect your romantic relationships/beliefs/outcomes in adulthood?

It’s been six weeks since he broke up with me and I feel like I’m still in shock. Like I’m in a nightmare I can’t wake up from. I just can’t believe he left me when he always said he never would.

My husband and I are going through our 2nd cycle. He initially asked me to allow his sister to administer my injections because she’s a nurse and I refused. I don’t like depending on people when I am capable of doing things myself. This is taking an emotional toll on me already, but I don’t want him to feel like I’m refusing his help and excluding him from the process, because I won’t take his suggestion. How do I get him to understand?

Currently debating if I should pay off zero interest debt or put the money in index funds instead? The debt is only zero interest for about 10 months or so. My concern is that the stock market might crash when it is time for me to pay it off because people say we are in a bubble right now. Should I just pay the zero interest debt first?

I recently made my insta public and now I’m getting all of these random followers. Is this normal? Bout to take my account back to private - I find this creepy...anyone else have this problem?

Guy I am dating for last 3 months asked me to attend Mother’s Day lunch/dinner with his whole family. I haven’t met any one of them on a 1-1. While I am somewhat comfortable with him, I am an introvert and don’t like to be around groups of people. We usually spend a weekend night together. However, after I gently said no and told him I d feel comfy to first meet his family members 1-1, he seemed to be a little aloof and left early. I like the guy a lot. We aren’t at the typical marriageable age

Anyone facing this ??

I am having offers from

EY India
Synechron
Altimetrik Corp.

The offer from EY India is very less and my joining is on 16th. I do not think negotiation will work at this point. Synechron & Altimetrik is offering far better pay than EY India. The difference is Close to 5L. Can anybody through some light here. I have a YOE of 4Y and tech stack- Java/MS/ React. EY is offering 10.5 fixed.

PS: For some reason, my heart is still says EY i don't know why :(

How seriously do you all take evil eye / Nazr?

How’s everyone doing today? 🤗

Any recommendations on books or talks or videos I could share with a friend who is inclined towards Islam but hasn't accepted yet?

Thanks!

Jummah Mubarak Fam! 💚

I know this probably isn't the bowl for this.

However, I rather reach out to the good folks here than have to rely on matrimony apps.

29 M, at NYC/NJ. Indian born, been in USA for 6 years. Work as a Director in M&A.

Looking to meet a like minded individual.
Anyone out here looking and in the same boat as me?

Any of the males in this group feeling attacked on here? Disturbing!

Salam everyone, wanted to ask if anyone here is in a relationship with someone close to their age and how they’re navigating it for ex a guy being 22 and the girl being 24. I’ve been advised to find someone 3-4 yrs younger than me because that would make things smoother and there would be less fighting. What are your thoughts? Also I’m Arab and will most likely be marrying an Arab girl if that changes anything.

How many Muslimahs here know shortcuts to make pakoras? Please help a brother (in Islam) out. Thanks 😋

Does anyone work as Solutions Architect at AWS?

The higher i move up the career ladder the more I see "muslims" in leadership position openly drinking alcohol. I don't judge but I'm just curious do they feel the need that to climb the leadership ladder in these big corp roles?

Ramadan Mubarrak to the entire Muslim Consultants Fishbowl. May you and your families have a blessed month.

Opinions: Stay in the West for a few more years to get more experience and passport, or move to ME to be closer to somewhat elderly parents (who would much prefer life there than in the West) ?

Jummah Mubarak and Happy Friday 🤗! How’s everyone doing? Any plans for the weekend?

Salam - does anyone here work at Alvarez & Marsal? I have a few questions about the firm I'd love some insight on.

I feel like being a consultant has made my standards for finding a significant other go up astronomically lol now I expect them to be a similar standard as my coworkers which are smart, pretty, social and also same level of religiousness as me. I understand why everyone struggles to find an SO now
