If you are a couple with no kids, how do you go about finding friends in the area? I struggle so much :( most of my close friends are now scattered across the country and I feel like we have no one close to us anymore. I don’t even know how we’d go about making new friends anymore!

Me and my wife (married less than a year) were thinking of adopting a dog that we've been fostering. My biggest hesitation is that anywhere we go - we need to figure out what to do with the dog. Her response is - sometimes you just need to do it, and it will figure itself out. Don't really like that response - people with dogs - what do you guys do when you go on vacation? Is it hassle for planning?

Sometimes I wish when you were with a partner, there was a very clear sign that the person doesn’t love you so that you know it’s time to walk away. My partner and I keep having the same problems, and when I express he’s making me feel a certain way he says he didn’t mean it like that obviously. But when i say something and explain that it’s not how I meant it he doesn’t care and proceeds to label me as an unkind person who doesn’t support/love him unconditionally. *continued in comments*
