I don’t know if I see a long term future with my partner but I do care deeply about him. One of the reasons why I think I’m struggling to let go is because I don’t want to lose him as a friend. It’s by far the deepest, most fulfilling friendships I’ve had .

The more you delay, you are actually delaying to be with your love of your life, whoever that maybe.

I love my husband so much and I don’t want to lose him, but I’m overwhelmed with anxiety that I won’t fall in love and running out of time. 33F

Why did you marry him then? (Zero judgement!)

So have you ever experienced heartbreak?

I was in a long-term relationship with the exact same guy. Loved him as a person. Loved his family. Fundamentally wasn’t that attracted to him and never had better than ok sex. I broke up with him. Found the man of my dreams just 2 years later. Hot passion fades with time but I still have way more romantic attachment to my husband than I ever did for my ex.

Anyone else just sitting around waiting for the ax to drop? I'm a soon to be 2nd year corporate associate who has seen work completely dry up. My utilization held pretty steady around 50% immediately after shutdown, but August was below 15 billables with no appreciable work in the pipeline. Aside from letting people know I'm available and doing pro-bono/CLE, it's starting to feel like a serious "covidcation" leading to termination.

I’m not sure if this happens to you, I’m constantly intimidated and feel judged by white men and women and/or people born in the US for having a strong foreign accent in the US. Nobody says that to my face, but I can see it in people’s actions. This has severely affected my confidence and I focus more on the way I pronounce some words rather than the content. How do I battle this situation? Would definitely like both perspectives.

I want to be happy alone before I meet anyone new. Any tips or advice on how I can effectively accomplish this? Thank you!

Been passed over for promotion twice (had support from multiple partners both times). Received the top performance rating every year since joining the firm (6 years), which I’ve heard is rare. When passed over, the partners say there were others who have been waiting longer (not necessarily with the highest ratings) and that I should “keep doing what I’m doing” and basically wait my turn. Anyone else face this and have any suggestions/guidance?
