I have zero interest in hearing about what goes on during my SO’s work day (also don’t have any interest in talking about my work BS to her). She’s quite the opposite. Anyone else in the same boat? How do you make it work?

You should probably at least demonstrate interest in hearing about her day, because that's how adults in function relationships should behave. You don't have to talk about your day though. Tell her you'd rather not discuss your work because you'd rather destress and unwind.

Dude, I feel you I’m not wanting to talk about work. You don’t have to. But showing interest in the things you SO find interesting is EXTREME value in a relationship. You gotta show her you care about what she cares about and put the enthusiasm.

^10000%. I don’t care about sports in the slightest, but my SO is a big fan. So, I learn the basics about the teams he loves & can ask questions about it every now and then. He really appreciates it.

Same thing for me- he asks questions/shows interest in things he’s not super into, but knows I care about.

I let her vent while I pretend to listen and play games on my phone

My SO is similar to you and I’m the opposite as well. I’ve just accepted it. Would like to know your reasoning behind not wanting to talk about both of your days?

I prefer to leave work at work and not think about it when I’m home and I really don’t care about the dynamics of her workplace either. Don’t think it adds any value to my day

My closest friend of 15 years told me she's been in love with me for several years. I don't know what to do. She's my closest friend. We talk about everything under the sun. I don't want to lose her.

Is there anything I can do to lessen her pain and preserve the friendship?

Over a week ago my long distance (ex)bf (US) and I (NL) broke up. I was ready to move to US for him and get married; he’d never want to move to NL. I couldn’t accept that: I needed to know it could still be an option to live in NL in the future, if that became necessary due to my family situation. He ruled it out because pay is lower here, though we’d still be super comfortable financially (top 1-5%). Is money the key driver in such decisions, even in consulting?
