I walked into my husband’s home office today, singing/shouting “Hello from the other side”, not realizing he was on a Zoom call and everyone heard. I thought only toddlers barge in on Zoom but I guess adults are not immune 🤷🏻‍♀️

I asked my OBGYN if vibrators are okay while pregnant on my first virtual appointment and at that exact moment my AirPods died and my phone autoconnected to the Alexa in the other room, where my husband was on a work zoom call.

Really wish I was singing Adele instead

Wow, you win SM1

Mute is risky. I was on a webcast and the presenter yelled at her kids “get out and leave me alone I’m on a call” while she thought she was on mute. Comedy gold and completely understandable in our environment.

You’re fine. You will be remembered as just another distraction on the call. - together with toddlers, pets, delivery guys 😂

Ok so. I have been on this journey for almost a year now to try and 'get to know and love myself' and I'm not there yet. I separated from my ex in March of 2020 and divorce was finalized in October 2020. I'm still sad, lost, angry etc. I'm trying/tried therapy, meditation, ayurveda, self help videos, books, but I'm not happy with myself and I don't think I know myself. I want to be happy alone before I meet anyone new. Any tips or advice on how I can effectively accomplish this? Thank you!

Had a therapist who encouraged me to quit my job to be happy. Also encouraged me to not settle with my girlfriend because I’ll regret it (like how he regrets getting married). Ended up quitting my job and became more miserable, poor and suicidal. Haven’t seen my girlfriend due to long distance and COVID and we might break up soon. Did I just find a bad therapist or is it normal to project your own regrets to your patients?

My husband has a tendency of always shutting me down in discussions. I don’t know why, but his ingoing position is that I must be clueless regarding whatever topic we are discussing. It’s very annoying because 1) I find it disrespectful 2) I am smart enough to have the same job as him and 3) it means we can never talk about anything- he always turns it into an argumentative way of disproving whatever I say

I told her not to worry, in our program I will have him for 2 more years. Boy that made me feel good.

How to deal with an overly paranoid family member? I've been working from my parents place for the past month and my brother recently came home for the holidays. Out of all of us, my brother is the most cautious, but to the point where he is paranoid. Like, he will wear 2 masks, doesn't see anyone, uses hand sanitizer after touching anything (like his shoelace), and doesn't use grocery store baskets (holds everything). I respect his habits and I've been pretty cautious (cont. in comments)
