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.

Traveled for the first time this week since COVID and got the dreaded “do you have kids?” question at team dinner. Him-“do you have kids?” Me- “No, I don’t.” Him-“Oh good! That’s the right choice!!” Me (awkwardly)- “I still have time… I’m not even 30 yet!” (Team member who knows about our 3 month and 6 month miscarriages looking on with THE saddest face) Ughhhh. He had absolutely no idea and meant well since everyone was talking about their kids but gosh…I wish this didn’t have to be a thing😩

Could someone suggest a really good attorney for a contested divorce case in SF Bay Area ? Thanks

It’s been six weeks since he broke up with me and I feel like I’m still in shock. Like I’m in a nightmare I can’t wake up from. I just can’t believe he left me when he always said he never would.

Recently got in a relationship with this girl for a few weeks and we’ve had our differences because we’re two very different people learning about each other / trying to find a middle ground. She broke up with me last night saying she doesn’t have the emotional energy to dedicate to the relationship and is just walking away instead of putting in the work that a relationship requires. She doesn’t seem like she knows what she wants - after the talk, she said she has strong feelings for me and wjll

First day of distance learning, both spouse and I spent 3 hours each troubleshooting. Kids got maybe 30 minutes of connected time of the 3 1/2 scheduled hours

It’s week 5 for me of the breakup and even though I had a full and fun weekend with friends and people I love, I woke up today so so sad because I wanted to text my ex. I just feel overall so defeated and exhausted from sadness and unmotivated at work :(

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.

Anyone else at home not sure what to do with their time? Have multiple calls today but can't seem to figure out what I want to do between them. Workload is much lesser since this is last week

I am heading into IVF and the clinic made us sign a document saying if one of us is tested positive for COVID, the whole procedure will be canceled. The testing must be performed at their site. My husband’s mom has been organizing a big family trip for two months. I already excused myself from that trip. But I am very worried my husband my get covid from this trip. His mom has a lot of friends who don’t believe in Covid, and she volunteers at a 2nd hand store. What would you do if you were me

Is it a taboo to accept and admit that you are uncomfortable with your in laws and would like a separate home with husband?
Background: we are Indians and my husband always wished to stay with his mom and sis but I am unable to adjust, plus he never takes a stand when I am cornered.

Has anyone ever been to the Alo Restaurant? I have never been there myself but I was wondering if this would be a good setting to propose?

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 told my SO if marriage is a priority for you than it's a priority for me. Basically I don't view it as changing anything in our relationship (so not a high priority for me), but if it's something she wants sooner rather than later than later than I'll go along with that.

Went surprisingly better than I thought it would.

Chances this conversation comes back to bite, me? Guessing 90%.

If you had a walkout basement in your house, would you let your teen sleep in the bedroom there? If so, at what age? The basement itself if fully completed, living room, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom.

Been actively applying to jobs with no bites. Feeling pretty disheartened because really want to relocate closer to family. Going to keep trudging!

How many of you have ended relationships or been broken up solely due to time issues with this job? Did you have a wake up all and quit after or stay put?

Is anyone having second thoughts about their current relationship?

I can’t live with my spouse anymore and I think the feeling is mutual. We have kids (<10yrs) and I would hate to not be able to see them everyday. I’m afraid of the negative impact on the kids of this separation/divorce. Long term I don’t know what the solution is. Any advice would be appreciated. I feel like the biggest failure in the world.

Anyone married but still have feelings about your ex? Like you love your SO but still have lingering feelings?

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?

Anyone on here working at Credera? If so what's the second stage interview like?

I don’t want to proceed for other arounds with a company. How do I state that kindly?

Or should I just practice to practice!

I hate giving presentations. Any tips for feeling (or at least looking) comfortable and confident?

Thanksgiving dinner underway... I ducked out to take an extended trip to powder my nose. Anyone else hiding from unwanted chatter?! 😎

Bured out due to work and planning to quit and take a 3 month break!

Hello, I just had to vent a little and maybe ask for your opinion. So I’ve been working at my job for four years now and I’ve never gotten a promotion. On top of this, I do extra duties that my coworkers don’t do and struggle with the work load. I feel like I’m being taken advantage of and am not sure what to do. I feel like going to my boss and refusing to continue to do these extra tasks without extra compensation. Am I being a baby about this?

Anybody have a mortgage provider they like?

Does anyone else feel unfulfilled in their career? Like we could have been a doctor or something that changes people's lives for the better, and instead we're doing finances for fat cats.

Hi all!
What kind of information would you like to find in this bowl?

Has anyone ended up working for a prospect?

I just had a conversation with a CEO at a startup I admire, and the topic turned to sales hires. My jaw dropped at the comp numbers and I also really love the product, their selling philosophy (buyer centric, empathetic ; less volume based), and I feel like the CEO is an extremely empathetic bit straight forward person.

I'm considering throwing my hat in the ring for consideration, at the same time I've got a sales motion going on - any tips?

I know this probably isn't the bowl for this.

However, I rather reach out to the good folks here than have to rely on matrimony apps.

Anyone out here looking and in the same boat as me?

Anybody else feel unworthy of this career? When it comes to stack rankings I’m generally in the top 50% of reps at companies I’ve worked for. On good years I’ll get into top 20%.

It seems every sales job posting is looking for people who have blown out their number every single year. I just don’t see how this is even possible, I’ve worked plenty of places where they gave us an unachievable target so nobody hit their number in a given year.

Im working in AUM reporting side and looking to automate some daily and monthly processes that are done in excel. I know it is possible with python but I know little to no python any suggestions? Or any other software that may be able to help!

All our boy friends in common keep telling me that he has a crush on me but yesterday when we were hanging out with some friends and they asked him about his crush he said " I don't know I think maybe I liked a boy instead of a girl". That made me confused is there something wrong I'm doing? Does he think I'm boyish or is that a common teasing technique ?

A girl (she’s 22/23) in my condo is showing keen interest in me. I’m 31M, single and feel this will be a disaster to proceed with. It’s not like that I hate her or something. I just never thought about her.

Also just recovered from a bad breakup after 7+ years of relationship.

hi - new to this bowl. I want to make sure I’m not being irrational or dramatic lol.

My boyfriend forgot my upcoming birthday. He scheduled a pick-up hockey game on that day and when I asked him about it, he said it was important to him to play hockey with his friends and we could celebrate my birthday a different day. for context, we’ve been dating for over a year and he knows how important celebrating is to me. im pretty close to ending it... thoughts?

Anybody here that few up in household where mom or dad had an affair? How did it affect your romantic relationships/beliefs/outcomes in adulthood?

Been with a girl for years. We get along well and enjoy each other's company. We're comfortable around each other, and I've generally been happy with her. As we've begun talking about marriage, I'm really giving some deliberate thought as to whether she's the right life partner for me. I'd pondered it before, but our relationship progressed very organically so never gave it too much serious consideration.

Now that I think of it, cont..

What duration of break is perfect for a couple to figure out if they want to break up or move forward with the relationship? Me and my boyfriend, we fight a lot over petty stuffs and have disagreements over every little things. So, we decided to take a break to decide what’s best for us.

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. I could feel the pain in her voice as she told me this. She already knows she's just a friend to me. I'm serious about my girlfriend and we've discussed getting married. Is there anything I can do to lessen her pain and preserve the friendship?

Has anyone been in a relationship where it’s so wrong but feels so right at the same time? Wrong in the sense that we are different religions, speak different languages (common language is English) and have an overall different outlook on life. Right in the sense that he treats me so well, he’s grounded and driven. I am so torn.

Any white males on here dating Asian females, specifically Chinese? I’m a white male with a Chinese girlfriend and I’m a bit worried about meeting the parents (they are in China; we are in Australia). They’ve said to my girlfriend that they’d prefer her to date Chinese so they are able to communicate with her boyfriend, but other than that it seems ok. Does anyone have experience in this situation? How did it turn out?
