I haven’t had any type of romantic/intimate relationship in 10yrs, since I was 16. It has to be me and I should just prepare for a life alone, right?

Why are sibling relationships so complicated? We live in the same city. 23M w 21M bro in same city. We’ve always clashed, got closer in 2016-2019, then in covid started fighting and not being close. 2021 summer we got into some bad fights where he said some hurtful things that made me kind of hold a grudge until our fight in September. 2022 we’ve gotten a lot closer and only minimally clashed but still even tho we share personal things sometimes and have more mutual respect, cont

Has anyone quit their job because of a relationship? I started my job 3 months ago and now my employer wants me to move to NY. The thing is, I fell in love during the pandemic with a friend that I have known for 3 years. It's frustrating since I know I could continue my job from home. I would honestly quit my job and wouldn't mind the job search again.

Wife is twelve weeks pregnant. Just found out we’re having our third boy.

A friend literally asked me if I could help her with her divorce. I was like, I'm a tax lawyer who bills 2700 hours, so, no, not even emotionally

Stopped a fwb situation. But staying away is so hard. 😔

Anyone in DFW want to do something this weekend? Just moved here and I have no friends here 😢

I think I might get a divorce

Well, I was the one who broke it off. I couldn’t get him to love me the way I needed or even respect me enough. It’s been 6 weeks of not seeing each other. We messaged this week. He doesn’t get it…. His messages show he still doesn’t know what he wants. Yet, if I am totally honest, I hate how part of me wishes he would do a grand gesture/finally decide to be a better man. It’s delusional. It’s crazy how love can be so rosy, sweet & blinding that the red flags seem surmountable.

So… 3.5 year relationship came crashing in Jan due to covid depression, work burn out, lockdown etc. We have stayed in contact and recently he has come around to apologizing and considering getting back together. However he also revealed he started seeing someone casually 4 weeks ago and technically is cheating on her by meeting me for coffee and to discuss this. I’m upset that he’s dating others but shouldn’t be right? I mean, I did the same. Still hurts though. And I told him to sort that out

Any place to go few hours drive from Austin? Have a 3.5 yo so want to keep it enjoyable/relaxing for us at the same time keep the kiddo engaged and happy. We just need a good change of scene.

If you loved your small independent broker dealer but they had just been acquired by a much larger corporation which does have benefits in terms, mostly, in technology, but you lose your “family” in the home office, what would you do and who would you look at if you were considering a change of your own?

Been seeing a guy for a few months now and I can’t stop myself from getting in my head. I’ve never been in a solid relationship before like this and I’m afraid I’m going to mess it up. We’re together most nights and some nights I need a night off or some space, but when I don’t hear from him I get paranoid that I did something.
I don’t know how to just let things be and feel we’re as good as I know we are.

Rant: Currently on vacation in Thailand with my SO, and can say it’s been nothing but stressful, (and excuse my language) complete bullsh*t...

I know this bowl isn’t the most active, but my grandmother is in the hospital for Covid (severely high risk), grandfather has it, as does my mom and 8 year old brother. My mom is also experiencing PTSD or some form of mental issue where she has certain triggering events. Everyone is concerned about her and my grandmother. Please keep my family in your prayers

How did you meet your closest friends in Atlanta?

Been questioning my friendship with a group of girls. Really close to them before (been hanging out since high school), but all they do is gossip, shop, and talk about superficial things, and I just started realizing how our interests are different too in the recent years. When is it time to drop the friendship if you feel like the odd one out?

Man seeing all the divorcees at my firm... does anyone else feel like divorce laws should be revamped?

Have a buddy from college who has a firm in Europe. He wants to expand is looking for someone to run it together. Wife is begging for me to do, but I'd feel pretty uneasy up.

I’ve been a family caregiver for four years, and now look to return to the workforce. I realize that this will be a bit difficult, especially during these economic conditions, plus other factors, such as being an older employee, etc. I updated my account with a few job sites, adding on the fact that I took time off to care for a family member. I would appreciate some advice, anything that would be helpful.

For Valentine’s Day my fiancé and I went out to dinner. We decided not to do any gifts this year since we have a lot of trips planned and saving for the wedding. I had a $75 gift card that I decided to contribute for dinner and figured he would pay the rest since it was Valentine’s Day. The next day he venmoed me for the half of the remaining bill. We usually split everything but this one threw me off guard. Anyone else experience not being taken out anymore after dating a long time?

It makes me intensely uncomfortable when I hear people who should know better misusing the word “myself.” As in “please cc Kate and myself on your email.”

Getting sober has made me realize how bad my boss really is.

Since disconnecting with past stories my reality has drastically bent. My stories programmed my reality, attracting what I told myself I was/wasn't.

I’m going to say it. You all know that strategy isn’t a thing right? It’s advertising. We try to sell products or brands. An advertising person is a strategy person who specializes in art or copy.

It's freezing tonight bitter cold. I just ordered Chinese and I'm not sure if that was a shitty thing to do. I think they need to make money so if no one calls that wouldn't be good. I did tip well

this isn't a confession but it's not a general topic. does anyone use any natural remedies for ADHD?

Turned down a gig at Apple two years ago because I saw a lot of growth opportunities at my current company and saw the position as a step back (even though it was more money) and have regretted it ever since. Still in the same exact position at the same company I was then btw. Bad choice.

Who has made the leap from working/living in the US to abroad? Any words of advice?

Silver lining to getting laid off: random directors/photographers/creatives have stopped hitting me up on LinkedIn just to ask how to get an in with my (former) agency.

If my agency wants me back in the office, can I tell them that I’m not planning to get vaccinated (for personal reasons) even if that’s a lie, and would that work?

Our data director will not stop talking. Constantly. About the most useless shit. He also takes forever to get to the point. I now wonder if he got the job bc they just wanted to shut him up.
