I love my fiancée more than anything. Idk how this happened but we ended up in some stupid fight last night. By no means was it our worst ever at the time. However, she became more and more heated and shoved me.

We have had numerous talks about how malicious physical contact is completely unacceptable. I don't want to leave, but I need to make it clear this isn't okay.

We've been together 6 years, known each other for 12, and are getting married in 6 months.

Ex who dumped me abruptly before I planned on proposing reached out and wants to meet up 6 months later to try to get back together. I feel mostly anger towards her. Bad idea to accept and meet up

Anybody struggling with fellow associates in big law? Currently working with associates that will stab you in the back at all costs and don’t care about building friendships, etc. This environment is mentally draining and I feel like I am an outlier for being kind. Truly shows that nice people finish last.

How many Big Law partners sacrificed their marriage to become partner, and, if you didn’t, how did you pull it off. Almost every partner I have ever worked for has been divorced at least once....

8 years together, one married. In our 30’s.

I find my husband physically attractive but am not passionate about him or do not feel “pulled” towards him. Is this normal?

My parents got incredibly angry and threatened to “end up in the hospital” and “disown” me after I told them I want to marry my partner, who comes from a different religion. My partner is amazing and I can’t imagine loving anyone this deeply, and feeling so safe with them. But I also love my parents and they’ve done so much for me. I don’t know how to cope with this.

fuck work. who wants to talk about sisterwives 👀

Every interaction I have with my partner has become super passive aggressive. It ruins my day and I think she gets off on it. How do tell her I need her attitude to change or that we need to interact.

How do you leave but leave in such a way that you’ll have a way back into the firm if needed? I have some great relationships. Tenure here is short, but family life has changed and I need to

My son wants to study the same as me, he is only 12 years old, but he has an immense love for biology. In spite of how flattered I feel I can't stop thinking how difficult it is to find a stable job in this profession, is it time to talk about it, or do I wait for a little longer?

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.

What do you irrationally and harshly judge people for?

I assume that people who don’t rerack their weights at the gym allow themselves to live in filth and squalor and had their mothers wipe their bums until they were in middle school.

GF and I are having major issues stemming around my family not liking her. Got into a major fight Friday and haven't spoken since. She said she's having doubts and questioning the whole relationship. Today's our one year...what can I possibly say. Don't know what she's expecting

Do you go through your SO’s phone? If so how regularly and do they know about it?

He left 3 weeks ago. He’s still my first thought every morning, and I think about him for hours everyday. Normal? When does it go away?

My partner is a lawyer with ADHD, diagnosed as an adult, and about eight years into our 11 year relationship. We're working on him articulating how his brain works, and I want understand his experience as best I can.

What's the one thing you wished your (non-ADHD) spouse/partner understood about living with ADHD?

I loved this woman. We kinda ended up falling apart, i really miss her. Making some effort and talking might resolve and we could get back together. She said we can give another shot. Pros: she is a good person, cute, smart. Cons: temper issues, big spender and money management issues. I couldn’t move on but couldn’t make a decision. Any advise is appreciated.

People with kids, how much do you spend on daycare?

I’ve gradually moved on from ex-bf from 1y ago, but still to this day have this greatest fear that I’d crumble if and when I hear he is getting engaged or married to someone.

I wanted a life with him but he couldn’t see it with me (midway of our relationship) or with anyone before me. I do wish him to find his happiness.

It’s just that feelings of unworthy, unloveable, not chosen by someone you love so dearly continue to haunt me after all these times. Anyone has tips to get through this?

I've been with my gf for almost 6 months now. For context she's still in grad school (we have a 2 year age gap) and I'm struggling to feel physically attracted to her. I have a good job, decent amounts of stress, I like to work out, spend time with friends, and am very outgoing. She's super sweet, kind, sensitive, and brilliant. I find her attractive but I find the fact that she's always up in my business and available to me unattractive. She also just got an amazing job in another state (1/2)

What's the best relationship advice you've heard recently?

How to politely tell my partner stop spending too much time on playing video games? It was my false at first. I introduced Zelda breathe of the wild to her and now, she is hooked. She even played game when we had the movie night. I chose the her movie style but she let me to watch it alone and silently turned on the game, and played it while pretended to watch the movie with me. That’s not fun at all. What should I do? Any advice please?

If a person were worried that their fiancee could potentially be with them purely for monetary gain, would it be wrong to test them before the marriage? By test I mean have a third party offer a decent amount of money to break off the wedding?

*I would like to be clear that this is purely a hypothetical question. I'm not in a position where I need, want, or could do this, but I have an unfortunate experience in the past, where an ex significant other was not the person I thought they were*

The person I’m seeing has been responding to my texts days later (only a recent development) and it’s making me anxious. They have been busy the past two weeks with PhD exams and their last message was them planning when they could see me again (in a really flirty way too), so logically I know the delay is not a sign of disinterest. But I have an anxious attachment style (if that’s not obvious) and my therapist is on leave right now, so I’m struggling. Do any of you have any advice?

Hi all, when do y’all think is a good time to have the “what are we”/“are we exclusive” talk? After how many dates?

42F dating 42M for 9 months. We used to live about 30 minutes away from each other and saw each other once a week, but I moved a few months ago (now10 minutes away) and we still only see each other once a week. He calls me every night and we talk on the phone for 1-2 hours. We do lots of fun stuff together- art fairs, sporting events, and just relax and cook together and watch some movies. He sees his friends once every couple months. Am I wasting my time with this guy? No kids/don't want kids

Thanksgiving is upon us. Send help.

My step in laws are TERRIBLE. Not directly to me but family dynamic is stressful. They parent their youngest kid with pills and ignoring him, so that he does inappropriate things around me with zero correction (walking in on me, insulting me). They are all half siblings (4 boys 30-11) so they all don’t care including my partner. FIL also verbally abuses MIL in front of us. Yet they all want to please him constantly. It’s just bad.

Food was good though.

Gift ideas for a SO? Looking for ideas to give to a guy as a token of appreciation. $50ish? Im seeing many girls turn to PS5 but I'm looking for something more personal

** Really need your advise**
So my gf 26 and I 27 (m) broke up a month back. We booked a concert long time ago and that’s up next week. Our breakup was mutual but this girl is special. I have tried over and over again to rekindle but she said it’s done. The concert is next week and I really want her there. Should I ask her one last time or should I let her go?

My bf and I have been having the same argument for weeks now so he said he needed space (and I understand why) But he said let’s talk after Christmas… and a month feels long to me. I felt like two weeks is enough time to gather your thoughts. Can others share their experiences? Also it feels unfair for me to have to wait for his text? I don’t know what is best for me too.

Can someone please explain this phenomenon I notice. Idk if it's an internal observation issue or really externally things change.

As a happy career-oriented single man. When I'm just focused on improving my career, thinking about work, just doing my thing. I notice women find me attractive, they're nice to me, want me to talk a little bit, and get annoyed or sad when I'm short with them. So I generally feel attractive.

But when I'm dtf, that attraction immediately dissappears. Is it me?
