In a cross road - my bf is great and the kindest person everrr but he is the financial and emotional cruch of his family. He comes from a low income family and pretty much supports majority of things for his family. He recently bought his family a house and I AM SO happy for him.. but we have been together for 4 years trying to be patiently waiting to have my time with him and start our next chapter together but I’m getting anxious… seems like a never ending road. Honestly sad we can’t move…

Him providing financial support for his family likely won’t change. You need to decide whether you’re ok with that, and if not, move on.

Hello. My name is Deja. I’m 21 years old and trying to break into tech. I am currently studying through DataCamp on a scholarship and I LOVE it. I want to maximize this opportunity and go far with it but I’m not sure if all the ways to make it to a career. I’ve researched and also career searched but I’m still unsure on the best paths to take. If someone could help me narrow a focus I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

Has anyone just been feeling pretty sad and down these past few months? I’ve never really felt this way pre-pandemic but now no matter what I do (workout,talk to friends, yoga) I still feel waves of sadness. I live in a cold city with strict covid lockdowns so I know that that is contributing to my sadness but just wanted to see if anyone else feels like this and how you are coping? I also haven’t traveled or gone on many social outings since last March so Ik that is taking a toll on me as well

I’m not sure if this happens to you, I’m constantly intimidated and feel judged by white men and women and/or people born in the US for having a strong foreign accent in the US. Nobody says that to my face, but I can see it in people’s actions. This has severely affected my confidence and I focus more on the way I pronounce some words rather than the content. How do I battle this situation? Would definitely like both perspectives.

A friend of mine was broken up with right as I was getting in a relationship. She’s very down so when we hang out, I typically don’t bring him up/share details the way I normally would. She’s only met him at 3 group events over 2 months & she’s been very accusatory of him if we show up late for any reason. It feels like she’s projecting all of her negative feelings onto him. I don’t want to walk away from a friendship, but it seems like she just wants me to be single again. Any advice?
