I was at a my gf’s bday dinner with 5 of her friends. We had already celebrated together last weekend. I didn’t know any of her friends since it was our first time meeting. My gf and her friends didn’t try to include me in any of their conversations. Whenever I contributed to the conversation, someone would say one thing back to me and then move on. I was feeling super awkward and weird and left after dinner when they went out for drinks. Now gf & her friends are mad at me… cont.

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.

How do people make friends here? I have the ones i grew up with and a couple I made in the last couple of years (neighbors/through mutual friends) but I generally find that people here just stick with their social circles

I just want a 🤗 feeling down bc I’m single while most of my friends are moms now

2 of my best friends who were dating for over 9 years just broke up and I feel like I’m going through the breakup with them as well. I’m sad I won’t get to hang out w/ both of them at the same time

Anyone women lawyers here interested in a local get together? New to the area & looking to meet friends, which is hard enough as a busy attorney, and got even harder with pandemic /WFH life. I brought this up in the women lawyers bowl and there were several 🐠🐠 in the Bay area looking to connect!

Anyone else feeling pressure from Asian parents to find a significant other to get married and have kids?

Officially the last single person in my family. Feels so good and people are so nosy about everyone’s personal life that I skipped the big celebrations.

I’m posting this here instead of my usual Big Law bowl because I’m guessing there are people here who will understand. I just need to vent. I am married to a wonderful man who has a young son. My husband is the kindest, most patient and supportive man I’ve ever met other than my dear late grandfather. He is saintly. But the chaos that surrounds him hurts me. I am the primary breadwinner and far out earn my husband and my stepson’s bio mom. I have always put pressure on myself to succeed (Cont.)

Hello!
I am very new to the States and am actually from India.
I have always been a girl who had many friends and was never alone.
I don't have any friends here unfortunately and wanted to ask if there are any Facebook groups or other forums especially for Indians who want to interact with each other.

In general, you can also give me tips on how to make friends.

Some of my girlfriends moved back home so kind of feeling lonely in the city. How do you meet new people / make new friends?

Last October I ended a year long, long distance relationship because of the logistics of distance. I have spent the last 9 months (trying to) dating other guys in nyc and it sucks because I know what it COULD feel like. Recently saw my ex again and I’ve been bursting with joy ever since. Is the pursuit of ‘love’ worth changing my life and relocating for?

A close work friend who just left my firm a few weeks ago blocked my number without telling me why. Before that when they left they had said to text them regularly to catch up. So I had been texting them with updates. Nothing bad at all. I guess the friend just didn’t want to deal with my regular updates but wish they had just told me not to send them instead of blocking (after all, they had requested them). It hurts. Anyone go through this?

How do you guys handle finances or hope to handle finances especially after marriage?

Just had a surgery to remove a lesion that had 40% chance of becoming cancer. I had a group text to keep family & friends informed. Nobody from family actually called to check on me. Five friends called to see how I was doing and feeling. Parents are deceased, I’m the youngest sibling (+5 to 8 years older) and the only one anybody keeps in contact with. Time to cut family? They obviously don’t care what’s going on in my life. One sibling never even responded.

fuck work. who wants to talk about sisterwives 👀

I love watching my 3-year-old's engineering hacks... he wanted to pet the cat so he built a fort out of pillows and waited, now the cat's purring on his lap and they're both asleep

I split with my BF a year ago (his decision) after four years together (off and on). In your opinion, should all ties be cut? I’m struggling to tell him to stop contacting me.

Men of FB, how did you girlfriends / wives sex drive change with age?

Has anyone stayed in contact with an ex because they genuinely were a good person in your life at the time? I find it hard to completely block someone out just because you may have been incompatible in building a future together, but I’m curious how often you chat moving forward?

Anyone be in a relationship where the other has an alcohol problem? Every night out drinking leads to emotional breakdowns and fights. Been going on for 6 months now. Should I break up?

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.

We're about to start planning our wedding. I have a huge family and friend group (100+) that I want to invite and she has a very small family and group of friends (>50). We haven't talked about this yet, but I wanted to get some opinions on this before hand. Should I reduce the be l number of people I want to invite to match hers? Is it unfair to her that I'll have a significant majority at the wedding?

Thanksgiving is coming up and debating if I should invite woman I'm seeing to a family and friends gathering. On one hand we're super early into dating, on the other hand she knows very few here (foreign exchange student) and most likely doesn't have anything planned. Should I invite or not?

When did you move in with your partner? Is it a good idea to suggest this if they haven’t even told their family about me? I feel like the answer is no but we basically spend every night with each other anyways. Been officially dating for 5 months, less serious for just over a year now

Why is it so hard to join a group ? My boyfriend has his group of friends (both males and females) but every time we hang out with them, I feel left out because I don’t have history with them and they all have their inside jokes and stories. He said I need to try more to interact with them but honestly I feel like certain friends mostly his female bestie is trying to not include me. I’ve tried to become friends with her but she’s not putting in effort to get to know me … I need advice.

A friend of mine told me I should have Narcan on hand for my boyfriend who does coke sometimes. I'm firmly against it. He knows I hate when he does it and I don't want the emotional weight of carrying it around in my purse. Like, if he's going to do that, he should carry his own damn Narcan. Am the asshole? She thinks I'm being cruel since it can be lifesaving and you can get it for free.

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

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
