That sucks. Sober up and tell your significant other how you feel. I’ve been there and just getting it all out in the open really helped. You’ll know what to do based on their reaction to your honesty. Good luck.

Feels good to put a an initial crack in the thing you want to break. Next step: bust it wide open.

Yeah that’s tough. Clearly you’re not feeling valued or wanted. If you’re already looking outside the relationship it’s time to end it.

Looking for a suggestion for a date spot that would be convenient and a good halfway meeting point: i’m in Murray Hill and my date is coming from Astoria.

What you should do when dealing with a very toxic worker that keep on sending passive aggressive messages to you as well as in group chat and email.
Things like when you answer his question he respond: I know that
Or when he keeps on saying my change requests were just minor in group meeting but actually not.
And keep on saying how hard he works when he clearly wasn’t and already underperformed compared to an intern level.

How do you stop obsessing over a new romance?

In my 30s and have dated a lot. I've done casual flings, had a couple serious LTRs, been deeply in love, and had a lot of meaningless, purely physical hookups in my day.

Through all of these, my attachment style has always been secure as a fully realized person. I never needed someone to make me feel whole.

This new woman is completely intoxicating. She was clear: purely casual. It makes me want what I can't have, something more serious with her.
