I’m the only person I know who’s not getting together with extended friends/family for Thanksgiving. Kinda disturbing.

Enjoy solo thanksgiving.

Millions of Americans are not getting together with "extended friends/family." Many are not even getting together with immediate family.

Good to hear...I guess all of my friends and family are outliers in this regard since they’re all congregating. I consider my “immediate family” to be those I live with. But my parents/siblings are all traveling and getting together because they think covid is like a cold.

Update: now friends and their family members are revealing they got covid from thanksgiving gatherings. Ugh!

My partner of 5 years ended our relationship last night. I’m shattered and feel absolutely sick, and I know the healing isn’t going to be easy. We were on the verge of an engagement and I was ready to spend the rest of my life with him.

I don’t know how to approach work during this time. I think I can get by, but I’m definitely not 100%. Should I talk to my boss about it? My team is close-knit and comfortable around each other, but I don’t know if it’s “appropriate.” What would you do?
