They are Asian parents, they will always want to live with the kid, living in a hotel when they are visiting me is basically betrayal and abandoning them.

Every year they visit, they will overstep in my love life, life style, workout schedule, work style. E.g, I am 28 and they set me curfew for 9:30pm to get back home after social events, which is impossible when I live in New York. They will ask me to wear tons of clothes than needed, clean my apartment not the way I do, trying to redecoration everything for my home. Trying to set me up with people I don’t even want. They will criticize my eyebrows because they think that’s the reason for me to lost my last boyfriend. And they push me to get married, to have kids. But I don’t want kids anyways, they just keep pushing saying that I will regret. And I currently have a quasi-boyfriend thing I need to figure out myself, and I don’t want them to meet him yet because the minute they meet the boyfriend they have got the grandkids name ready. I will have to see my neurologist 2 times and get triple medication for my migraine when they are over.

I’ve told them many times but they just believe I am over thinking and I shouldn’t be stressed because they love me.

Op you need to grow a spine, I'm sorry

A relative is raising a teenage son with her ex-husband. They have joint physical custody. The ex-husband has re-married.

The relative wants her ex-husband to leave their son in her care when he travels out of town but the ex-husband disagrees. The relative wants to know her chances of prevailing if she were to appear in court on this issue. Thoughts? Thanks!

So recently my SO has been accusing me of being in control of when we are intimate (sex and cuddling). She says that every time she wants to I say no - and whenever I want to - she says yes. So it's by default doing whatever I want when I want. It's a gross exaggeration of what's happening - but does anyone ever deal with something like this? How do you say no to something like that - without your partner thinking you're just looking out for yourself or you're controlling?

Hi Fishes,
I cleared LTI all rounds and in HR discussion we came on mutual agreement for 16lpa .I have 7 years of experience and they gave me Specialist - Data Engineering(P3) role. And we agreed I will join with after 60 as I had to serve 60 days notice period. I was waiting for offer letter and when I received the offer letter I was shocked to see that CTC mentioned was 14LPA and joining date was only 15days from now ,which is way early.
