How are all the lovely ladies doing today?! It's one of those days for me... Trying very hard with every breath to not check his profile and see what he's up to...
He broke up with me almost 2 months ago and it's just been death.
Some days very good and busy and powering through. Other days are hell. Pure hell

How do people make friends here? I have the ones i grew up with and a couple I made in the last couple of years (neighbors/through mutual friends) but I generally find that people here just stick with their social circles

Your best tips on managing the emotional stress/burn out in family law - let’s share!

Someone from PwC asked “People in their 30s, any advice for people in their 20s” (paraphrasing). Same question but advice for people in their 20s who grew up poor (no not middle class either). People who had no financial backing and no choice but to take on debt. When living with mom/dad isn’t an option after school. First to graduate college in their family. Just felt like a lot of people answering in that thread don’t relate.

Don’t know where else to post it! I got married to my husband through arranged marriage. It’s been one year since we got married. He is very smart, educated, and kind. No complaints there. But contd

Any book recommendations for first time dads?

Spouse is a state department employee and currently overseas. I’m a manager with three years of experience in consulting and 8 years of experience in the military where I left as a O-3 (GS-12 equivalent). SO wants me to take a non-negotiable family member hire role at the embassy overseas for one year so we can co-locate. Job sounds interesting, but is a non-negotiable GS-6 equivalent. Family life would be great but am I derailing my career permanently? Can I explain this in the future?

What are your firms doing to support working parents during the pandemic?? We’re trying to find a way to support parents as they navigate e-learning and working at the same time.

Looking for some perspective: we just got a brand new $2,000 glass top 78" dining table. I asked my husband to please use a table cloth when he uses that table for d&d with his friends to avoid scratches and the loud dice on the table. He got upset that I "don't let him enjoy our stuff," that I "hate the sound of him having fun," and he says I am being unreasonable. From my perspective, I just want to preserve this expensive piece of furniture that we both love. Am I being unreasonable?

Any married couples that are both attorneys? Wondering how it is with having kids- paternity and maternity leave and beyond (ie, did someone have to take a step back from work or arrangements made)?

My SO has severe anxiety which has resulted in a dead bedroom for nearly 2 years. I love her and am being supportive as she works through stuff in therapy but at the same time I also feel very sexually deprived and rejected. Is it alright for me to seek physical satisfaction outside the relationship until we are able to restart our sex life?

My dog turns 12 and it depresses me that she’s getting older. Just had a sobbing session at the thought of losing her. She’s been by side throughout my most difficult adult life moments (divorce, cross-country moves, different jobs, toxic relationships, etc). I know I should treasure each moment, but the inevitable will eventually come and that just breaks my heart. 😥

Is a post-PhD gap year to travel and be reminded of what life is like a bad idea?

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?

I’m a single 29 year old guy and I’ve been staying with my parents through the pandemic. Still have an apartment 2.5 hours away from my parents so I go there once and awhile to chill by myself. Every time I go to my apartment I realize there’s nothing in this city for me other than my job as most my friends are in my hometown or elsewhere. I just sit in my apt alone and end up drinking and missing my family. Anyone else experience this? Should I just move back to my hometown despite...

I feel no sparks with my husband. He is more like a good friend + roommate for me now. After 6 years, I really miss the good old times when I felt that heart beat for someone, or the nights when we were crazy about each other (not him), and those sweet and passionate words. I feel so old. Is it normal?

has anyone here ever ended up happily with someone they weren’t quite sure about initially? i’m pretty happy when i’m with my s/o but we have the most random/dumb hiccups that drain me. we don’t fight - it’s just him doing dumb things like not explaining things properly which causes misunderstandings 🫠

Feeling very unloved by my family, my friends, in life in general, my SO. Please comment with something funny or cute 💚❤️

I’d like to preface this post with saying I was in a very toxic relationship previously. I went to therapy, healed myself, and now feel I have found someone very healthy. He self reflects, he listens, he’s present, he makes me feel heard (mostly). With all that said, I can’t stop feeling like he’s only giving me the bare minimum. I do a lot of the small things, make sure I’m hitting all his love languages daily, and I keep feeling like he thinks he’s doing everything to keep me happy, but

I used to be a special Ed teacher and changed careers to an executive assistant at BMO after facing major burnout from teaching. Now that I’m a first time mom, i really want to work part time or even .75, but I do not want to go back to teaching right now. I am thinking of tutoring- any suggestions on private tutoring vs. tutoring companies?

The worst part of my breakup is the urge to obsess over his happiness with the woman he cheated on me with. Any tips?

I’m shooting 3 talks tomorrow, none of the talks have been written. I can’t stop thinking about him.

I am devastated. Ive been with my boyfriend for almost 4 years we were taking about getting married and having kids. Then I discovered he was also in another relationship - 2 years in.
He promised her all the same sweet stuff. I'm trying not to be too hard on myself but I'm not sure I can recover from this.

I miss being able to innocently and naively fall in love and trust that things will work out. After being so disappointed twice in a row i just feel like now i cannot trust guys anymore and what they say. :( once u learn something, you cannot unlearn

I was okay and then randomly saw photos of my ex that i didnt know existed in my message history to my friend (i deleted everything related to him the day we broke up) and it has brought back all the memories and pain. It has already been over two months. I hope this can go away.

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.

Hope everyone is doing well and happy, recovering from the heart break ❤️

I finally move out in two days and as the day gets closer, it gets so much harder. I love him and it hurts. Even right now, I’m still living with him and I’m in the living room watching tv and he’s working at his station. I think soon I’ll just be occupying my own time alone and not with the person I love. Idk how people do this.

Going through a terrible breakup. Whenever I wake up, either in the morning or from a nap, I immediately uncontrollably cry because of the immediate thought that he is no longer next to me. The worst part is that we’re living together still (not talking or sleeping in the same room). I can’t even imagine what it will be like when we can finally break our lease. Does this feeling ever end?

What are some thoughts that get you out of your breakup sadness zone? I need to borrow them.

1. Have a better life than the one you imagined with him
2. Build a big life. Being rich and famous solves everything.
3. Mind your business. Be the main character in your story.

My boyfriend is texting his best friend's girlfriend. He openly says "oh i texted her about x" to me and I believe him...but my concern is that they're going to start some sort of flirtationship. She's some sort of model and has even told her boyfriend that my boyfriend is funny whereas she says her boyfriend is obnoxious. Is this something to worry about? We're not in a great space right now so Idk what to think.

How do you actually find a decent person to date when you’re working 80+ consulting hours? Like seriously...everyone I know who recently got engaged or married had been long term dating since high school or college. What has worked for people?

Had another dream about my ex. I asked him questions on why he changed. He answered just let go. I think now my brain is finally starting to fully acknowledge there is only one path forward.

Okay, it’s time to stop putting on a face about this. I love my boyfriend so much, but covid is ruining us. We are both still WFH and argue every few days about the dumbest stuff. My and his mental health are both diminishing and it feels like an impossible trench to dig out of. My stomach hurts every time we fight and I (independent of him) feel so stuck in this horrible global crisis. I don’t want to lose him, but I need to figure out how to dig us both out of this unsustainable mental state.

Currently going through divorce proceedings. I honestly don't want to date anyone right now but I have this fear that I'm already 28 and I'll never meet anyone good. I went on some apps and matched with some guys but I feel like they're all the same and I don't wana get to know anyone. But I'm also scared for my future.
