I feel mentally stuck / having repeated thoughts about a relationship that ended about 2 mo ago. I’m dating others / being functional and not insecure about that loss etc but I struggle putting it behind me. Looking for some support / tips / kindness?

I ran into my ex a couple days ago and it’s just all screwed with my head. We are kinda talking and he invited me to his company holiday party to be his +1.

And then he’s been ignoring me.

I'm going from working at a non IT industry to an IT firm. As an introvert I've faced a lot of difficulty in my career... Now since I'm also shifting to another industry completely, I'm feeling very insecure about my life at work. Please give me tips on how to make friends and be in the good books of the managers.

I thought my friend was gay. Turns out he’s not. And now I think I have a crush on him. But I can’t get it out of my head that I thought he was gay! (I’m a woman btw)

How’s your work-life balance at the moment? Do you think research positions allow enough time for us to spend with friends and family?

I've decided it's impossible to try and get my immigrant father to understand what I do as a transactional in-house lawyer. Every conversation about work goes like this (cont)

I feel pathetic. I care about him and I’m too scared to ask what he wants. I always have the problem in relationships that I hide my true feelings or cannot be vulnerable until it is too late.

I ended my relationship of 6 years about 3 months ago bc he said he might regret not having kids later down the line. we were always on the fence but I’m leaning towards no. It hurts so much having to walk away from an otherwise perfect relationship. Wish this was easier…

My ex cheated on me. We dated for 2 years . I been suffering from bad panic attacks since the break up . Any suggestions on healing ? (No I will not hook up with randos )

I’m single. It’s me & the dog.

I have 3 accountant friends.

Sometimes, especially during busy season, I talk about my job a lot; because it’s all I have.

I have a few friends, who put down what I do & are bothered when I talk about work & the hours I’m working.

I didn’t see them during the pandemic or miss them.

Feeling I work my ass off & being annoyed by them putting me down, has put a chip on my shoulder, I’m okay with never seeing them again, does this make me a bad person?

I have 1 one year old and have told my husband that I want to get divorced. He is being immature about the process and is just trying to make everything difficult. Sometimes he says he will move out, then he says the baby and I should, sometimes he says he wants custody when the real reason im leaving is his lack of interest amd resppnsibility toward our family. I can tell he is hurt and is upset that i dont love him anymore and want to get everything ready to make the exit easy. How do I start?

A student of mine committed suicide this summer.. I am still struggling with her death. I feel like I don’t have the desire to help students because I couldn’t help her.

Confession 1: I have been dating this guy and have felt so empty inside and sad in our relationship and I just now realized it’s because he treats me like shit and doesn’t act like he wants me and lies to me! He is completely different than when we were just going out getting to know each other, but I’ve been holding on to that version of him. Why was this simple revelation so hard for me?!
Confession 2: I want to keep trying to make it work for some reason

Here 28 weeks pregnant and tired of hearing you would need to do this for better lactation, you would have sleepless nights. Can a new mother not figure out on her own with the right scientific knowledge ? Is it important to go by what your parents , in-laws or known ones tell you ?

Looking for advice on personal space in a relationship. Been in thus relationship for 6 months. I date here and there but have not been in a serious relationship in a long time. Been working late M-F since COVID started. I usually call my gf after work or before I go to sleep and we talk for an hr or so each night. And on Fridays I go to her place right after work and stay the weekend. I’m finding a lack of my own time because it’s either work or her throughout the week and weekends...

I have zero friends and I am so lonely ..... no friends. No boyfriend. Nothing. I am 26 yrs old and all I do is work - come home and watch TV :/

Man, "What? I'm in a meeting?"
Woman, "Did you leave the refrigerator door open again?"
Man, "I can't right now I'm in a meeting, can you close it"
Woman, "Please, make sure it's shut, how many times do I have to tell you. My breast milk is in there, I'm already taking care of one child I don't need another. I'm not your mother!"
Planner,"Hey man, we wanted to tell you but I guess you couldn't hear us. Your camera was off but you weren't on mute.'

Maybe I am being ridiculous, but I feel like I’ll be ready for dating in about 3 months. The only concern is I turn 50 later next year. Am I at a point where women can’t see themselves with a 50 yr old even if they are outgoing, fun and athletic or am I just in my head?

My new anthem for dating. ‘ I don’t care - who you are, where you’re from, what you did, as long as you love me!’
