Hubby: What's wrong? You're grumpy.
Me: *senior associate who also handled daycare drop off and pick up today, and gymnastics class while my husband napped from 4pm to 530pm* Nothing is wrong. I'm just tired.
Hubby: FROM WHAT?!

Thoughts and prayers for my husband please.

The best relationships are a 60/40 split, where each partner strives to put in 60% of the work and expects their spouse to put in 40%. The result is a relationship that centers on giving, and not receiving and the focus is on always trying to lighten the other persons load.

It also sounds like your husband and his family have a lot of help from each other (him being partially raised by aunts, and him caring for his nieces). So just to be clear, it's just me and him. And we like it that way. Not sure if you have kids.

Anyway, I'm not sure where his epiphany came from, but he changed his tune as of yesterday. I think it was because I fell down my deck stairs and was laying on the ground and he basically said the whole thing was very inconvenient. He heard it out loud and then apparently recounted the story to someone else who affirmed that he was out of his mind.

My two best friends had a conflict over the weekend and have basically cancelled all of our plans for the rest of the month. As in they refuse to see each other.

Now I’m stuck in the middle.

Weird question. Got an offer months ago for a job abroad (not in my country of choice) and turned it down due to the low salary and not being in Europe. I started a new role in NYCsince I got that job offer in a large firm (from a small firm in a small town), started 3 months ago, and I absolutely hate it. Not sure whether I should try this small firm abroad for a change in pace. The new firm swears, “if you ever work past 5 pm here, there’s something seriously wrong. We don’t believe in that.”

Don’t want to call out of work but can’t fathom working today 💔. Lucky I’m finally in house. Left partner of 2Y yesterday. Always had jealousy issues (her thinking I chose friends over her, her isolating me from friends to have me all to herself) and I finally said enough is enough. Final straw was her throwing a glass of water in my face when fighting. She keeps begging me to come home and says she’ll change. Hard not to go back. Never thought I’d be 32, heartbroken, and on sisters spare room.
