How to constructively talk about the long term future with SO? We (both 26) have been together 6 years with the last 3 as LDR. We are supposed to be moving in together over the summer, but given she is moving across state lines I don’t think this should be a light decision. It’s reaching the point that if we don’t move in I don’t think we should continue dating and I also don’t want her to move in without talking in detail about core relationship topics (marriage, finances, etc).

How many of you are doing now what the little kid version of you wanted to be doing when you grew up?

Every manager at Alphabet probably passed out with relief once Warren dropped out. No big breakups for now.

I have an Oedipal Complex that has transferred from my Mom to my MIL and now I’m trapped in a marriage in which my needs will never be fully met. AMA.

Moms and dads, worked well in balancing workload at home post-baby?
I’m in my 3rd tri and feeling like I’m carrying the weight (pun intended) more than my partner. He’s active and involved but not proactive or ‘on it’. As in - he’s usually the one to cook but doesn’t plan ahead for dinners; if I ask for help on a big cleaning day, he’ll help but constantly leaves dishes, trash, clothes everywhere (even right next to bins and hampers!). Usually it’s not an issue but… (cont).

Any book recommendations to gift my cousin sister? She studied (masters) psychology and is a trained classical dancer.

Hey Folks, My dad has US visitor visa and in past he visited us alone but had several issues during his stay ( he has multiple preexisting conditions) This time I want to find a way to bring his caretaker with him for the duration of his stay. My dad can sponsor the visa. Just want to check if someone has gone through this process ? is there a way to sponsor a visa for someone who is not your relative.

Why is being a mom and working in healthcare so difficult? I always feel like I am failing.

My parents are scared that something will happen to me if I join the military. How did you guys handle this?

My mother always kept me going, even in the most difficult times, everytime I spoke with her on the phone while I was deployed I left smiling and feeling the warmth that only a mother could bring, I'm here thanks to her.

hi - new to this bowl. I want to make sure I’m not being irrational or dramatic lol.

My boyfriend forgot my upcoming birthday. He scheduled a pick-up hockey game on that day and when I asked him about it, he said it was important to him to play hockey with his friends and we could celebrate my birthday a different day. for context, we’ve been dating for over a year and he knows how important celebrating is to me. im pretty close to ending it... thoughts?

Wow! I guess wasn't paying enough attention to the renting crisis as I should have been. I have been trying to help my daughter find her first apartment and I'm not sure she's going to be able to go anywhere any time soon!

Hi i lost majority of my money in the stock market. I married and promised my family that I will not make the mistake I made 7 years ago. Gambling. Is this an addiction I have. I keep selling stocks and taking loses buying other stock hoping it will recover but never did and sell again taking loses and buy again. It now sink in to me. I borrow personal loan hoping that the market will do k and I pay it back but I even lost that. I can't stop crying that I hurt the one I love the most my family.

I'm 1 out of 4 siblings, I make the most out of my siblings, do you sometimes double down or not share your accomplishments with your family to NOT seem you are "showing off"? Or should I just live my life?

Would anyone married/engaged kind enough to talk for few minutes? I'm struggling with my relationship and wants to see how others have gone through the process before getting engaged/married.

Today I have officially made the decision to stop taking any and all cases that involve children. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted!! I just had to share with other professionals that understand. Yes, this will be a financial blow, but I’m fine with it.

How much per week/month do you spend on daycare?

My spouse wants to buy a house he thinks is perfect halfway across the US (which was the plan before C19). Trying to be realistic without crushing his dreamz is tough!!!

How did you meet your spouse? Go. Dating apps aren’t doing it for me. 😢

Ladies - I am trying to understand a situation I have no experience in so I’m looking to learn here. I have a friend who recently had a baby. Although limited, she posts pictures on Instagram (private account) of herself and the baby but all with the baby’s face blurred out or an emoji covering the baby’s face. I don’t understand this at all. Why post the picture at all then

Any gift ideas for a new partner’s mother’s bday gift?

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?

Every time there’s a little conflict I can’t handle it. How do I overcome this and get better at addressing it?

My gf has a particular gift. To always choose the better dish when we're out. So we decided to choose for each other. And, not surprising, the dish i chose for her was still better. Should we break up?

Any parents here who really struggled after the arrival of a new baby? It was a planned pregnancy, but after 2 years of this new life, I feel trapped and I feel like this is not the life that I wanted. I know I'll probably get a lot of mean comments here. Looking for anyone who might have experienced this to share their stories/outcomes/what you did. Thanks.

F here. I’ve had trouble in relationships because idk how to fight healthily. I’ve been going to therapy for it but I’m struggling atm because my boyfriend who I love so much, I’ve brought to his breaking point with my anxiety fueled approach. I don’t blame him. A lot of this stems from watching my parents & their toxic fights. I want to change not only for myself but for him, because I believe he is worth changing for. But has anyone ever gone through this & made it out better?

When do you and your SO start telling each other your income?

I have been with my boyfriend for 3 years. We are not married or living together.

He knows how much I make because I told him after my promotion. He is the entrepreneur type with a passive income gig.

His business has been very slow since covid but he just seem to be chillin at home. He never tells me if he is doing financially okay so when I asked. He got offended and asked me to drop the topic because he is doing okay.

Just found out my boyfriend of 3 months (talking stage was about 6 months before making it official) slept with his ex a couple times while we were talking. After we agreed to be exclusive. Without protection. I’m so crushed 😞

8 years together, one married. In our 30’s.

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

What happens if a man pees inside a woman? Never happened to me but curious and want to experience if no side effects

Is going on a "break" worth it? And for how long?
Feeling like I need a reset to figure out if I'm with the right person.

My family mistreated me when I was younger, and now that I don’t live at home, they don’t call or bother to look for me, because frankly, I think they have a hard time admitting what happened - and will never apologize to me either. If I don’t call, or occasionally go see them during the holidays, we would never talk. Some of them are growing old (health-wise), and I’m scared this entire situation is just irreparable. Has anyone ever gone through anything similar? Any advice or thoughts?

Met this guy through friends a few years back. He made me feel really special, told me he was going through a bad patch with his gf at that point. Things happened between us in a couple of months and
