I love my parents but they squabble all the time. My mom nags and my dad gets angry. Then she talks back. If I say something, they yell at me. I am not looking forward to the holidays. I wish desi parents wouldnt do this.

My boyfriend is not the best at providing emotional support. I’m pretty sure a lot of it stems from him not being able to fully express his emotions when he was younger. Does this mean our relationship is doomed or is there anything we can do to work on this? I just want to feel supported and that he is there for me.

I have been here for over a decade, moved several times and had to start from scratch with my network. Recently I am feeling disconnected from friends and romantic interests who don’t share a similar experience to mine ex—family within an hour distance, living in the same city for their entire life that they have many friends local. While I signed up for this, I have an urge to connect more with people who have similar experiences to mine. Curious if anyone else experienced this and what worked…

I have been apartment hunting in the Austin area. I need to move closer to work. The commute is emotional damage lol. I’m being dramatic. Nonetheless, I need to be closer to work.

My question is does anyone have experience or feedback to give about renting a room in a house and sharing common area with roommates?

It is one option I am considering, but hesitant to go this route.

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?

Motherhood and medicine- a delicate balance. Sounds like the titile of a book that needs to be written.

Hi ladies! I’m in my early 30s and haven’t never been in a successful relationship but would really love to have kids. I’m considering doing it on my own but terrified by a few things- effort, work, Indian community...

Has anyone done something similar?

Does any other girl feel my struggle of maintaining friendships with guys cuz you don’t want to get hit on? I’m in late twenties, and in college years, most of my good friends were guys that didn’t expect anything else but friendship from me. But now I’m struggling to maintain friendships with guy coworkers because they constantly ask for a coffee or lunch/dinner date. Is it cuz I’m friendly? I can tell they want more from me. How do I navigate this? I still want guy friends. 🥺

Any recommendations for books for desi parents ? Politics , economics, world order , self help

I can’t do it anymore. My husband never helps around the house. Ever. When we first started dating, he was so much more helpful as I think he was trying to impress me. Now it’s been FOUR YEARS of asking him to contribute more around the house by just picking up after himself and unloading the dishwasher when it’s done and he has time. Last night I finally had it - (Cont…)

Gift ideas for GF dad? We have been dating a year and a half, I get along with him super well. He is dealing with some medical complications so isn’t to active at the moment but loves cooking and golfing. He is one of those guys who already has everything he needs, and they are super wealthy so I feel bad getting him any clothing or accessories knowing it wouldn’t be as nice as the things he wears, although I know he doesn’t expect anything and would genuinely appreciate anything I got him

I hate that I still want to hear from him. I just have no idea what I want him to say or what I want to say. I feel like if I get anywhere near him he’ll be able to sense my pain. Are we sure the no contact rule is only 21 days? I feel like I need 21 months.

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 don’t understand how someone can lie about loving you for 6 months. We were together for almost a year (broke up a week before our anniversary). I said I love you first and he said it back. I asked for more reassurance last month with saying I love you more often. Now all of a sudden he said he didn’t know if he loved me and that love meant marriage for him. Okay well great thanks for telling me this now, 6 months after it was initially exchanged. I don’t understand how he could do that.

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...

I've got some friends who work remote jobs, and every day I grow more jealous of them during my one-hour commute.

I've been working remotely for the past two years, and it's been great. I love working from home and being able to watch my kids grow up through their eyes as they play around me. But sometimes, when you're in this kind of situation, it's hard to know what to talk about with your coworkers.

I just got my laptop and welcome kit. But in that I did not receive any headphones.

Does Oracle not provide any headphones or we have to buy it ourself.
