I am generally uncomfortable when I’m around my mother-in-law’s husband.

While he is overall a decent guy, his anger issues, yelling at his wife for the slightest issue, and insulting nature makes me uncomfortable and triggers my own anger due to his blatant disrespect for just about everyone around him.

My mother-in-law says he’s worked on things, but it’s been 10 years of this and I’m not sure I want such behavior around my wife and our kids since we’re trying to conceive soon (cont).

I joined a company last week. I am planning for pregnancy this year. If i become pregnant, are there any issues i may face from employer like they can question that i recently joined and within a year or so im going for maternity leave of 6 months ?

Does anyone have recommendations on getting rest during the week? My SO pointed out to me over the weekend how different I am after a night of sleep and when I don’t have to worry about the next day..

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

Ladies, what does your out of office message while on maternity leave say? Not sure if I should say I’m on maternity leave or just use my regular ooo message.

I am an extremely introverted and painfully shy person, so that is why I decided to change my career path.
For me to have these meetings early in the morning, I've been getting a bit tipsy just to open up, let loose and express how I feel (that leads to great relationships) but it also steers towards other problems ... I am not sure how to cope. Are there any insights that one can give to another to succeed …and not fall back into addiction/habit/chaos?

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!

Just heard that my district will have classroom and live-recording learning. I’m thankful because I now can feed my family, my newborn and a recent-sponsored wife! I’m scared because I’m almost 50 and I’m afraid I might catch the virus and die leaving behind my 1 month baby and a wife who is not legal in the state yet! The USCIS or Trump’s dept. thinks she’s not good enough to be in the US!! We applied for green card and SS card since August 2019!

My dad is basically not a nice person and I have never gotten along with him but he said things that were racist, demeaning, divisive and toxic. Given his personality, I don’t expect anything better..

My SO had a career change, went back to school, and just started with his new job. He is struggling a bit and is very stressed out. What can I do to help?

I accidentally overshared information about having anxiety and trouble focusing with someone who is kind of important at the company and now I regret it. She never responded and probably forgot about it but my husband told me that I shouldn’t have done that and I shouldn’t share things like that with people at work unless you are really close with them and now I’m freaking out and crying because I’m scared she will remember that and tell my boss or other higher up people.

Any advice on how to do an organized shared family calendar? My wife and I want to get more sophisticated than a calendar on the fridge. Would love to link to Outlook w/out sharing each other’s work meetings. How do you manage this with your partner?

Perhaps this is a hot take, but I feel sometimes that there is an expectation in the gay community for couples to do everything together and have the same friends. My girlfriend and I (24&26/NYC) do have some mutual friends, but we are very different in some of our interests and sometimes I long for sort of “girl time” with my friends. I also feel that with other gay couples, they often come as a package deal and I rarely get to hang with them 1:1. Anyone noticed/experienced this?

“7 Summers” by Morgan Wallen got me in my feels about my girlfriend in college. I’m married, have kids and happier than ever but damn, I’m just a man.

My GF has trouble standing up for herself. She's on client travel and one of her co-workers made her really upset (very uncalled for and should have never happened). She called me crying. After consoling her I told her that she needs to go to her manager and possibly HR (yes it's to that level).
She told me she can't and she's not that person (she thinks she'll get the other person fired). She knows that she should and hates that she doesn't stand up for herself. What can I do to help?

My husband said he would buy me a Rolex as a “push present” for our first child. I would want just a classic, timeless (no pun intended) looking ladies Rolex watch that I can wear for many years to come. Suggestions on a style? I really don’t know anything about them and would like to get some opinions on what people like since there are so many options.

How can I deal with this situation where a new subordinate keeps calling BS on company values. He makes a very valid point in some cases but it’s a constant battle where he complains a lot. It gotten to a point where HR think he’s always being negative about things. I don’t think start up life is a good fit for him culturally. What can I do?

I'm a new adjuster but have great metrics and feel I'm doing fairly well. My family is struggling living paycheck to paycheck. I've been with my company about 7 months but I feel other companies pay more. I don't want to leave though. Any tips for asking for a salary increase? I was promoted a few months in to a tier 2 but no pay raise goes with that.

Thanks for any advice.. I'm at 47k a year. I wanted to go SIU but obviously there is no immediate significant pay bump. Ultimately aiming for 60k

I thought that this space was for search a relationship 😅🤣😅🤣😅

My boyfriend and I already live together (I moved into his 1BR apartment this year), and we’re excited to get a new place together in early 2023. Any practical tips on how to decide what furniture to keep vs. replace? We’re still renting, so I’m inclined to just keep what we have. What pieces are worth buying new now vs. holding off until we have a more permanent place?

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?

Dating a girl - been going great. Suddenly she is saying there’s too much going on in her life (her mum is ill, doing dental training) to go to the next level, but that I’m a great guy anyone would be lucky to bag etc. At the same time she says she wants to stay in touch. I said for her to tell me if she’s not interested and we can leave it - she told me she is interested but the timing is wrong. I said ok let’s leave it - she said it’s my choice (despite inertia from her).what to make of this?

Anyone here paying for a hinge subscription?

12 years and my partner won't do chores. Vent vent vent. I make 80% of our income and pay 80% of expenses. I'm also tidy but hate cleaning. Partner works 20-30 hours/ week no kids and is a slob. 3 months ago made chore list, got them to sign on the list the 50/50 split that it was fair. 3 months later I've been doing my chores they haven't done any. Brought it up today and was accused that the list was unfair they refuse and they dont have time because they must "work to subsidize your expenses"

My friend slept/has been sleeping with a guy who has a GF and she is pregnant - this happened after I warned her to not do that and it’s a bad fantasy she doesn’t want to experiment with….
I am very sad to the point that I do not want to be friends with her. I feel so bad for the pregnant woman and also mad at the guy and my friend. How should I navigate the situation?

I don’t understand what makes seemingly super sweet and kind people be this way 😭 WTF

How to handle your emotions in a less sex ( not no sex), and low quality sex marriage?

It's emotionally depressing for me when we don't make out, getting ugly thoughts of breaking up.

Although I also do understand this should not be the ground for destroying the family, but the lack of it creates a vacuum in me.

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

Is anyone having second thoughts about their current relationship?

If someone said (over text) “happy thanksgiving to and for you” what would you think they meant? To be clear the intent was “Happy Thanksgiving to you” as a greeting and “happy Thanksgiving for you” as in, I am giving thanks for you.

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.

My gf mentioned that I am too mechanical during the act. Tips to better things?

Should I take my girlfriend back after she drunkenly kissed a random guy at a bar?
We were at a bar with friends and I left the bar because I was ready to go home. She stayed with friends and I later found out that she kissed a random guy and her friend had to break it up. We are 3 months in and I feel betrayed. She has assured to me that it was not cheating and just a mistake. She loves me and wants to stay together and swore to do better. I’m torn because I feel like all trust is gone.

How you do you get over trust issues from a previous ex and trust your current SO? My ex cheated on my for months and I caught her by going through her phone and I find myself fighting that urge to go through my current SO’s phone even though I have no reason to.
