I'm newly divorced and being back on the dating market after 16 years is startling. We didn't have these dating apps back then, although I did meet my wife on Craigslist. Are some dating apps better than others? Which ones should I pay for? The number of dating apps is a little overwhelming.

I tried Match and Bumble. They were fine. I met a few interesting guys. No bad experiences (minus one pretending to be someone else-conversation was very short lived). Went on a few fun dates and had a couple three-monthish situationships. Nothing came to fruition, clearly.
I have two friends who met their spouses online and they are still married 10 years later. Good luck 🍀

Can you still meet people through Craigslist?

No. Republicans shut it down. https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/03/23/596460672/craigslist-shuts-down-personals-section-after-congress-passes-bill-on-traffickin

I met my husband on Coffee Meets Bagel 5 years ago. I like that it shows school and job on the first page before clicking into a profile, but not everyone cares about that. Also used Hinge and Bumble. Lots of overlaps in people on CMB vs. Hinge.

First year here in a quiet patch (following a very busy period). There have been a few days where I bill 0 hours, which I’m told isn’t worth worrying about in this quiet time. But how do you spend your time on days when you bill nothing? This is a major stress for me. Cheers!

Does anyone know of a good therapist they could recommend in the LA area? Saw someone post something similar to this in the bowl the other day so I thought it wouldn’t hurt to ask. They don’t have to be LGBTQ+, but it would help if they have some experience in that area.

I’m (early30s) about 8 months into a relationship with a 40m. Things are wonderful in every aspect, but he is absolutely atrocious with his finances. I felt it becoming an issue about two months ago. He forgets about auto payments and just generally doesn’t care. I sat down with him and looked at everything and even after talking it out he still continues to stress and it’s now causing me stress. I had a final discussion with him today about it and he went on abt how love isn’t enough for me…

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?
