I’m 28 and my parents are pressuring me to get married to my boyfriend of 1 year and 4 months. He won’t give me the commitment they want (i.e: ring or promise of a ring in x months). Cont.

I am long distance with my boyfriend and am feeling really unsettled about our relationship. We’ve been together 9 months, and long distance for 4/ 9. I love him and am lonely while distanced, but super happy with our relationship. I’m unsettled about the future and if we will be happy together in the future. I do not want to move to where he is located and he does not want to move here. He definitely wants kids, and I’m younger and more unsure. He’s a suburbs guy, and I want lavish city life.

For those of you in school now that entered with a significant other… are you still with your SO?

I have pretty strong social phobia and am worried about making friends. I'm going to be working for an engineering company so I imagine I don't have to be really up on the latest trends or anything but how can I talk to people without making it sound unnatural?

It’s been 6 years but still feel lots of jealousy about my ex and his wife. I’m married as well now, and I don’t have feelings for him, but can’t help but want the worst for them or for my life to be better. Anyone else feel like this? What did you do to get over it?

I have been single most my life and I HATE that post break up of a quick (~5 month) relationship I am feeling like I NEED a man after being so happy single for so long!! Annoying to regress.

How involved is your family in your small business? My nieces are looking for a job to work after school, and I could think of more than a few things they could do that I would pay them for just to take some off my plate. Is this ok? Or is it safer to keep family and business separate?

My now ex-boyfriend of almost 5 years and I broke up a few weeks ago, and over time I’ve realized some of the bad habits that I had that really heavily contributed to the fall out of our relationship

Did most of your friends join consulting after grad or just you?

Anyone have suggestions for things to do when parents are visiting?

Hi consulting 🐠
What does your SO do for a living and do you have kids? Mine is a PhD student and we are expecting our first child 😊 (nervous abort the transition) Great if you want to share!

I have a 5 day weekend for thanksgiving. I don’t have any plans. BF of 7 months is unable to spend even part of it with me due to family obligations. Is this a red flag?

Hi all I’m getting married in Spain. Should it invite the partner I work for? I really only do his work and he is my mentor and super kind / gives me a ton of responsibility but I’m not sure I want him at my wedding seeing my friends family and I interact. Especially in Spain for a weekend. Is that wrong?

I still think of my ex. It’s been 9 months since our breakup. He cheated on me and although I walked away and never looked back, I still wonder how life is treating him. I know I deserve better. Sigh.

Wife got lawyer, and I am interviewing lawyers starting tomorrow. I am primary breadwinner (95%), but she is citing at-fault divorce. I have been having substance abuse issues and anger issues (no physical violence). Need help. She is okay about negotiating outside lawyers. Can anyone recommend a divorce lawyer in ATL area? Any pointers? No kids. Married for 3 years. I paid her student loans and put her through school.

How did your SO take you wanting a prenup. This is a dealbreaker for me..

Anyone here have a selfish sibling who only cares about themselves and sucks up to parents? But treats you like shit? Mine is polite and jovial in front of others, especially my parents, but wouldn't lift a finger if I was dying. As the older one, it pisses me off because I've done so much for them in our younger years but now get treated like crap since he is the baby and the favorite. I would have preferred we had got a dog and I kept the other half of the inheritance. So frustrated.

Took a trip half way around the world to realize how emotionally unavailable. Others deal with this constructively?

Anyone proposed to your SO that you dated for under a year? How did that play out in the long run?

I got engaged recently and I don’t want a wedding, so it will likely be courthouse. However, I’m toying around with the idea of a close girlfriends party (not sure whether it’s a bridal shower or bachelorette type of thing). New to this so bear with me. I have really close friends across 2 continents and that would mean having two separate events/ party. Has anyone here had a similar thing where you didn’t have a wedding event but a separate party for friends? How did you pull that off? TIA.

I just made my therapist cry and he had to leave mid session…

I’m at a loss for words and not really sure what to do or say. I must have said something that triggered him emotionally 😔

Hi Fishes,
I am looking for a job in Canada/Australia. Currently i am working as a Business Analyst in EY. Can anybody refer me or guid me to follow the process of getting a job ?

Trying to pivot into marketing (my original passion) but heard I might have to lower my salary standards. Is it possible to get an entry experienced hire role for 70k+? Or are there any specific/similar roles where this would be more realistic? I live in New York by the way :)

Anyone who joined ADP recently. How many days a week we need to go to office in hyderabad locatio.

Let's build a playlist! Share what artist. songs or podcasts you like to listen to while spending hours writing endless amounts of code.

I think I am a pretty good programmer. I can do clean coding and make complex systems that are easily maintainable and understandable for my colleague's at a good pace. However, my personality afk is completely the opposite, I'm messy, incoherent in speech, easily confused and distracted and perceived as ditzy. I've been accused of being dumb sheep. (If you know mbti I'm a stereotypical ENFP)

Is this just imposter syndrome from a different angle?

How did those of you who rely heavily on/leverage Google while coding successfully pass technical interviews?

If a guy stopped responding to me mid convo, would it be okay to maybe message him again in a month or so? Don’t want to double message as I don’t know him that well

AITA? If my SO of 1 year wants to get a dog, do I get an opinion? We don’t live together

I can sacrifice an entire weekend cleaning my house so that wife's friend can spend the week. When I ask for a couple hours to help get the house clean so a house cleaner can effectively clean I'm told that's my prerogative and get no help. Well fuck me for being tired of living in a messy house.

What are some examples of healthy vs. unhealthy doubts in a relationship?

Is this group still popping or??

I keep having sex with my ex and want to get back together (this is a recent thought & he doesn’t know) but we live on opposite coasts now. We broke up in 2016 yet we manage to hook up pretty much every other time we see each other. It always starts w an innocent hangout but he still does boyfriend duties and we end up hooking up. It feels good but also wrong at the same time. Is this normal? Am I too old for this F/30? I don’t do this with any of my other exes. Not even attracted to them anymo.

Reunited with an ex and things moved very fast with the two of us spending a lot of time and nights together but we waited to consummate the “relationship”. Recently, he shared that he wasn’t in a position to be in a relationship right now and felt like he didn’t have enough to offer me but he cared deeply for me and was very attracted to me. Admittedly, he isn’t financially well-off and is heading back to school to finish his degree (we’re in our 30s) but it still hurts a lot.

I thought that this space was for search a relationship 😅🤣😅🤣😅

SO says I don’t acknowledge things for what they are and I try to find excuses. It’s been a big red flag for him and he sees it as immaturity and shadiness. I think he takes what I do the wrong way, and only try to explain my intent. I don’t know how to fix this

How do you interpret a guy watching all of your insta stories basically within 30 mins of posting them, and ‘liking’ them frequently. For example, I was at a wedding last weekend and posting photos til like 5 am- he watched every single one almost instantly

Looking for some perspective: we just got a brand new $2,000 glass top 78" dining table. I asked my husband to please use a table cloth when he uses that table for d&d with his friends to avoid scratches and the loud dice on the table. He got upset that I "don't let him enjoy our stuff," that I "hate the sound of him having fun," and he says I am being unreasonable. From my perspective, I just want to preserve this expensive piece of furniture that we both love. Am I being unreasonable?

I am long distance with my boyfriend and am feeling really unsettled about our relationship. We’ve been together 9 months, and long distance for 4/ 9. I love him and am lonely while distanced, but super happy with our relationship. I’m unsettled about the future and if we will be happy together in the future.
