I love my gf but I am really exhausted from dealing with her parents. I tried to be as nice and as understanding as possible, but it has been tough. Getting married is probably not easy (at least for me) and I truly envy those who don’t have to go through this.

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 have a pretty passionate hate for those who have “no fault” divorces. These people can’t keep one single promise in their life even when they have the choice of anyone on an entire planet and are not forced one bit into a decision.

What advice would you have wished your young selves to know?

My brother just tested positive. He’ll be fine (young, no chronic conditions), but I’m not home with the rest of my family to help them and I feel horrible.

How to deal with change? 1 year out of college and living with 3 of my best friends, just talked about living together for next year but they are all moving to new cities. Another friend is moving to my city so I’ll be living with them but I can’t help but feel a little lonely/like a huge stage of my life is over. Any tips for dealing with this change? I guess I also feel a little guilty because I’m pretty covid conservative so I’ve turned down social outings this past year because of that.

Hey fishbowl fam! Have any of you recommended one of your students for Kumon, or put your personal child into their program? What are your thoughts from a teacher & parent perspective?

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

I used to be a special Ed teacher and changed careers to an executive assistant at BMO after facing major burnout from teaching. Now that I’m a first time mom, i really want to work part time or even .75, but I do not want to go back to teaching right now. I am thinking of tutoring- any suggestions on private tutoring vs. tutoring companies?

I’m a single 29 year old guy and I’ve been staying with my parents through the pandemic. Still have an apartment 2.5 hours away from my parents so I go there once and awhile to chill by myself. Every time I go to my apartment I realize there’s nothing in this city for me other than my job as most my friends are in my hometown or elsewhere. I just sit in my apt alone and end up drinking and missing my family. Anyone else experience this? Should I just move back to my hometown despite...

At 30, if you’re living under your parent’s roof but you’re supporting them, do you consider them to be living with you? Or are you still telling others that you live with them?

Does anyone have information about the role of a mediator? I’m trying to find valuable information online about what it’s like and what it takes to become a mediator of any kind and there’s so much space trash out there. Whether it’s in divorce or conflict management or elsewhere, I’m just seeking perspective. Any insight or connections would be appreciated!

Ladies - have you had any success joining women's groups or meeting other women who golf/want to learn? Most of my friends are not interested and a lot of women at the club seem to have their own little cliques etc. Not sure what to do

So I adopted a cat during quarantine. Although I love him, having him seems to have worsened my anxiety. I would never give him away but the responsibility has been giving me severe anxiety. Even though I had thought long and hard about getting him. I think coupled with the fact I started a new job a month ago, I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed. I’m starting medication this week and hoping it will help me. But right now, I am so stressed out and anxious :/ any tips? Or words of encouragement?

Current working as a Director of Sales and Marketing at a large hotel chain. I am now trying to branch out to a work from home position as I have a special needs bonus daughter who we now have every other week 💜.

Looking to pivot from biotech to big tech in a less technical role (bizops, analytics, implementation manager) . I have a degree from Stanford in Biology (c/o 2021) and experience leading technical client implantations, but feel like companies just see my degree isn’t finance/CS/ statistics, and throw out my application.

Please give me remedies for acid reflux. Tums just isn’t cutting it anymore. Did anyone else have really bad acid reflux and do something/eat something/take something besides tums that worked ? Looking for a miracle here. Third trimester and I’m just miserable all around so any relief even just on the acid reflux part would be life changing at this point!!!

My dog turns 12 and it depresses me that she’s getting older. Just had a sobbing session at the thought of losing her. She’s been by side throughout my most difficult adult life moments (divorce, cross-country moves, different jobs, toxic relationships, etc). I know I should treasure each moment, but the inevitable will eventually come and that just breaks my heart. 😥

I’ve tried dating 3 guys this year and each time I just get more and more heartbroken. I give up.

I need advice on how to approach a salary increase.

Just had to send out an email explaining that numbers can’t be divided by 0.

Fishies, what’s the most braindead piece of info you’ve had to explain at work?

I recently took a job in a startup for a bigger paycheck and to shift to aproduct based company. I left my previous company where i got along great with my boss but the work was too much and always too busy. At the new company i learnt they let go of the product owner i was supposed to work under & this put me in a bad position as i clearly did not have enough experience to handle senior position & i was let go on friday after two months since i was not good enough to fill both roles. :(

Remember kids, it isn’t burning bridges when you have an abundance mindset

Idk what to do anymore. A few years back I struggled with gambling addiction and put myself in so much debt and never told anyone. Fast forward I have a gf who thinks I’m successfully but I am drowning in debt still that I truly don’t know how I’ll get out of. Can’t keep up with bills and put this front up much longer. Absolutely miserable

I am in need of a show now that I am caught up with current episodes of The Handmaids Tale.

HELP
I have all the hashtags

We had new neighbors move in across the street a few months ago. A couple with a child of about 7 years old who clearly has a cognitive disability of some sort (I suspect autism). I’m becoming concerned about him. He seems to spend a good amount of time alone outdoors. He often flags down passers by to chat. I thought perhaps his parents kept an eye on him through the window, but today he was hanging on a neighbor’s front stoop for a good half hour. I went over to talk to him and see if (con’t)

Not looking to argue,just to confess because I would never admit this out loud.I'm a liberal,female Democrat who thinks the American patriarchy was more helpful than harmful & I secretly hope it stays

Imposter Syndrome:
I was hired even though I felt unqualified. I now realized the people that hired me thought I was senior at my previous job when I wasn’t... I never lied about anything during my interview and talked about my duties. I only realized this after I got hired and the team introduced me saying all these fabulous “senior” things that I did - which is true (more like acting senior duties) 😅 what do i do!! Do I tell them I wasn’t a senior? I’m not behind on my work or anything

Maybe it's just because I'm used to people in the DC area being either fairly preppy or business professional but my girlfriend temporarily lives in Salt Lake City and I have to say is that people are really odd. We are City people so the attraction of the outdoors isn't really significant. Our view is that if we want to do something Outdoorsy, we will just take a trip. Not judging anyone.

Why does it attract such eccentric people?

Why does it feel like everyone is so closed off these days? It feels impossible to form connections with people when the default seems to be pretending you’re aloof, emotionally unavailable, and generally uninterested in other people.

My eyesight is getting worse and it’s lowkey stressing me out lol. On that note, do you know what the cheapest way to get contact lenses is?!

Typing a return to work plan for my client as I get this effing notification. “21 Americans Infected With Monkeypox, C.D.C. Reports
As the number of cases outside Africa approaches 800, governments are scrambling for a limited pool of vaccines and treatments with unclear effectiveness.”

I don't feel like I belong in the corporate world. I stand out too much and it makes managers jealous especially when im younger and brighter than them. Also people tend to really like me right off the bat which makes some people mad. Idk what to do
