I feel lonely, lost, hated, and lonely again 😔. I don’t have a life 💔

Would it be weird to send my ex a goodbye letter in the mail? He leaves for a military deployment soon for almost 1 year, and I generally care / miss him.

Dreading Thanksgiving. I love my family but I’ve lost 30 lbs since I last saw them due to cancer and haven’t told them. I know they are going to congratulate me for “losing weight” and compare my cousins to me to encourage them to do the same. How do I handle this?

Has anyone used Toptal for job hunting? Their process seems time consuming so I want to know if it's worth it. Time is limited in my current season of life. Spouse and I both work and we have 2 littles at home. I'm miserable and have stagnated at my job and need a change.

My wife's an artist and I'm an engineer, so I guess opposites really do attract sometimes

Any book recommendations to gift my cousin sister? She studied (masters) psychology and is a trained classical dancer.

Anyone else sometimes get nervous coming home to the family after being gone and heads down in work all well. Then jumping back into family mode seems tough when you know you’ve got to just do it afai

What is something you found about yourself after moving away from family that you would have never imagined? For example the food you like that you never imagined before or sports or the kind of person you date?

I swore within earshot of my 1.5 yr old daughter. Luckily she is so bad at pronouncing words my wife hopefully won’t find out my daughter has been trying to say ‘sh*t’ for an hour.
If she does find out, pray for me🙏

Do you tell your boss you’re going through a breakup? I’m phoning it in and obviously going to be camera off for awhile.

For M, when you date are you now trying to date younger so that you don’t need to try for kids right away or is there some urgency for you to want children fairly soon as well?

What games, toys, or science kits would you recommend for a kid who’s showing an interest in the sciences?

Got out of a toxic relationship that I KNOW was toxic but my heart is still heavy and I want him back. Did anyone experience this? How did you overcome it?

I live in VA, been married for 6 years and have no kids. My spouse and I are just separated and about to get divorced in a month. My spouse left their job a year after we married due to which, I need.

Does anyone else feel like their S/O is becoming more like a roommate? We’re in our early thirties and have lived together now for three years. Intimacy has dwindled in the last 5 months or so, we still get along great and enjoy our time together, but feels less romantic. My fear is that if this is what it feels like when we’re young, that it will be be like when we’re in our 40s and 50s? Has anyone else gone through this and how did it work out for you?

How friendly are people in ATL/how open are they to making friends? Just moved from Chicago to Dallas with my family and there's a huge cultural difference in terms of how friendly people are.

Last year I moved to a new city to be with my girlfriend after she took a new job in that city. One year later I realized this was the unhappiest year of my adult life. I don’t know if it’s because of my relationship or because I’m in a new city with less friends/social life. 27M

After 2020 and what happened with BLM, I lost a bunch of friends who said that for the first time, they saw me as someone different. Did anyone else here experience this?

I moved to the US with wife from abroad a few months ago. We had a pretty great life filled with parties and friends. Now I feel like the grind is killing our passion. Any ideas...

Hoping this doesn’t turn controversial. Should I be teaching my young kids to read Quran in Arabic (so learn a new language just to read Quran but no value otherwise), or skip Arabic and have them read transliteration (so like Alhamdu lilahi) or third option to just read in English the translation where they will actually understand? I mean, I spend 100 dollars a week on a tutor to teach them Arabic. My parents spent thousands and I can barely read it now and prefer transliteration.thoughts?

Older uni grads, was your experience finding a first job different from what your younger fellow students experienced?

Hi everyone. I’m seeing here people talking about salaries like 180k, 200k for design roles. And I was wondering why they are so high. I live in Italy, I’ve a bachelor in visual design and my work is a kind of UX/UI design lead, but my salary reach 34k, also other companies are offering me so. Do you know why there is this huge difference?

My firm gives me a Grubhub stipend each day in the app that expires at a certain time if not used that day. If want to use the stipend to buy a bottle of wine - will my company somehow find out? I’m not required to submit and receipts or anything

Is starting at an in-house agency just a career killer? I always hear the 2nd job is the most important. This would be my first. Thanks in advance!

Which is the most popular advisory service to take up?

The week of my wedding, my husband (PL SQL Developer 4 yoe) was laid off. That was a couple of weeks ago. Luckily I'm still bringing money in as a software engineer, but I'm looking for advice on how to support a partner who has been laid off. Ultimately I think we will be ok, but I know he's hurting / stressed / and could use a supportive partner.

"Per our conversation earlier . . ."

I am starting a 4-months internship at a company B in January. However, I just heard from a company T that they will interview me for their full time position.

Company T is paying me way more (twice) than Company B. And I like company T more. However, they want me to start working in February if I get this position. If I end up getting the offer, I will have to quit my internship at Company B, almost immediately after I begin the internship.

Is this okay?

Anyone know the avg salary for operations mangers in healthcare admin near the DC area?

Welcome to anyone who comes across this post. I have been on this app for around a week and I am yet to find any other NeuroDivergent groups/bowls for people in sales. I’ve created this bowl in the hope that we can find each other if we’re here! All people welcome, formal diagnosis or not and also for those who suspect themselves to be ND. If this remains quiet for a few weeks I’ll make it less generic and step away from sales.

I can't decide if I need a hug, a few shots , or 2 weeks of sleep! #busyseasondiaries

Is it unreasonable to expect your SO to walk with you on the sidewalk? My SO always walk faster than me. When I brought it up their excuse was that’s how I grew up.

My confession, I hate San Francisco and really most of California other than San Diego. It’s so dirty and overpriced especially San Fran with homeless everywhere doing drugs. Was never a big fan before but seeing it recently I don’t get why anyone chooses to live there.

I wonder what my ex is doing right now...

Fiancé had a very old dog that lost control of its business and pees and 💩 everywhere. Our living room smells like dog 💩 ALL THE TIME! The dog refuses to wear diapers. Fiancé is always a crazy dog lover so letting the dog go isn’t an option. We bought the house together so I shouldn’t be the one to leave. Is there a legal way to solve the the problem? I am willing to leave this crazy man. Just need to keep my property. Seeking advice. Pls do not persuade me to tolerate the situation. Thx.

I just got a job where I’m going to make twice as much as my previous job….and I still won’t be able to afford to buy a home in my area. 🥲

Just when you think the depp-heard trial is dying down, they bring in this trippy, psycho psychiatrist 😂

I’m having a hard time staying motivated this month and next our kinda slow months for us. I don’t have a ton of billable work (neither do my peers) we have some trainings but not enough to take up the whole day. How do you stay motivated and engaged during off season ?

I lied about having COVID to get out of a family reunion.

Love is tough.

I’m starting to like that little purple pinwheel that shows up every time I post a comment. 😵‍💫

Why does it seem like most husbands get super deep into an extremely time-consuming hobby, like triathlons or golf, just when their wife is pregnant or shortly after the baby is born? This has happened to me and 5 of my girlfriends. The timing is suspicious.
