I’m here for some advice. My wife cares so much about what everyone else thinks about her, coworkers, family, total strangers, and everyone in between. It leads to her feeling so stressed and worried about being and appearing perfect so that others will think well of her. The really sad part is so much of those negative feelings are self generated since she puts so much pressure on herself. I do try to support and encourage her of course. I just wish she’d take it easier on herself

How do people make friends in Boston? I haven’t made friends here since college... not sure if I should be trying to expand my network.

My gf and I are having a big discussion and I would love to get your thoughts on this. It’s about how much we keep in touch and communicate when I’m on the road. She needs to hear from me everyday multiple times and if I don’t answer her texts within a few hours, she can get quite controlling (text over and over again, also on my work phone, asks what I am doing and gets upset). I am not used to that and have the trust if she doesn’t text back, that it’s for good reasons, busy at work…. (Ctd)

How to still feel confident when siblings or cousins significant others are richer and make more money then you? Or what if they are better looking then your significant other?

I have a student with autism. He is mostly behavioral and at a lower learning level so he has to be in a separate classroom. We try to let him play with the students at recess or join in class parties. He has a sibling that attends school as well. When we were waiting in car line a group of girls talked about how they feel so bad for the sibling because of my student. Thankfully, neither student or sibling heard. But how do I respond to that as an adult? Especially, if they do hear?

I went home for the first time in years for a high school friend’s wedding. It was weird getting back together with old friends. Most of them were in the same spot as when I left seven years ago. Cont

I’m finding that more and more people don’t care about what happens with her family after they die have you been observing this trend as well?

Does your boss know your SO/spouse?

My friend recently had a big fight with her boyfriend and it's not solved yet - she's worried. I just got engaged on Friday. Should I tell her now or is it bad timing? I don't post anything on social media or told anyone except family yet, so she won't find out from others.

Thinking about divorce. Wife had an affair 3 years ago that I haven’t been able to move past. Been married 11 years and have two kids though. Restarting individual and couples therapy before I pull the trigger. Anyone else been in a similar situation? Should I blow up the family if I can’t get beyond this?

How’s your work-life balance at the moment? Do you think research positions allow enough time for us to spend with friends and family?

I felt like a walking zombie during thanksgiving, barely eating and barely talking. My family is small and I told them ahead of time my relationship ended. I focused on my niece and nephews, cried when I wanted to and slept from 8pm-noon for the last 5 days. Showered once or twice. That’s the best I could do and that’s OK right now. I’m back in my apartment, just trying to take it one day at a time, and not re read his texts too much. My birthday is Thursday 🙄

Hi i lost majority of my money in the stock market. I married and promised my family that I will not make the mistake I made 7 years ago. Gambling. Is this an addiction I have. I keep selling stocks and taking loses buying other stock hoping it will recover but never did and sell again taking loses and buy again. It now sink in to me. I borrow personal loan hoping that the market will do k and I pay it back but I even lost that. I can't stop crying that I hurt the one I love the most my family.

Had a really rough drinking episode this past weekend. Broke some things in our house. Don’t remember. For 20 years now, I can have 1-2 drinks and be fine 9/10 times, and that 10% I go HARD. Sometimes I just really need it, but it’s always filled with regret the next day. I really want to be able to drink a glass of wine or have a couple beers, but now my SO says 100% abstinence. Is it possible with my background and history or abuse to even try to do this anymore, or should I completely stop.

Early mornings became my best friend once I had kids. Managing to put 2 to 3 hrs of work Sat and Sun before they are awake means that I get to spend more time with them during the day.

I accidentally overshared information about having anxiety and trouble focusing with someone who is kind of important at the company and now I regret it. She never responded and probably forgot about it but my husband told me that I shouldn’t have done that and I shouldn’t share things like that with people at work unless you are really close with them and now I’m freaking out and crying because I’m scared she will remember that and tell my boss or other higher up people.

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

Why do we always tell people “Be the best version of yourself before starting a relationship?”
I feel this is wrong…first, if you’re someone who constantly wants to be better, this doesn’t work. Also, what happens when you’re going through things and you’re not the best version? What happens is…the going gets tough and then one person leaves the other.

Ladies: What was your first symptoms of pregnancy? When did you find out?

Just realized how good country music is...

Somewhat often when I’m talking, I use a wrong but similar word to what I meant to say. For example I might say horse instead of deer or say someone’s name wrong and not realize it. My family and friends are used to it but I’m nervous this might show up in a professional context and I might not even realize 🫣

Is it racist for a black fan to be upset (comment on their photo) that their favorite black celebrity has chosen a white girlfriend? "Are there no black ladies available".
Two friends feel differently - one says the black fan is racist towards the white gf and the other says the fan is ignorant but not racist. What do you think? Please explain your stand. Thanks!

I’m very emotional right now 🥹😩😩

Finished my masters today, this year has been rough for me and just seeing myself competing this brings so much tears to me!

I can’t stop getting emotional and wondering if this is a mental disorder. I feel I don’t deserve this happiness.

Have any of you gotten sick after drinking Chicago tap water? Thinking of taking the plunge

A serious question and need your help. I rented a parking spot from someone and it was agreed that there would be no car that would be parked in my spot. We have a signed agreement as well. There was a breach and when I arrived, the spot was occupied and I kinda let it go but the owner of the spot is really causing issues and threatening to cancel the spot. Can I take any action regarding the breach?

I’m always the first one in and first one out at work😌😈🧐

Someone should make a candy brand called "reds," where the candy concept is like Mike and Ike's, but they're all red, and the reds are different flavors, like cherry cola, strawberry, sour cherry, raspberry, cinnamon, watermelon, peppermint, bubblegum, and more... And then they could make a "greens" version, a "blues" version, orange, etc.
