Is it ok for me to prioritize my parents over my spouse or marriage? My spouse has generally been supportive in me having to do what I need to for my parents but she did mention how she feels that I pay attention to the marriage when it’s convenient to me. My parents generally expect from me as opposed to my sisters and I tend to have a greater impact on them than my sisters.

How do I figure out spending with my SO? Initially I was paying for 90% of stuff (no actual bills, just going out). I talked to her and said we need to be more even. She was never proactive. She kind of got offended but we ended on a good note to split things. It went well for a couple weeks but now it's back to normal. She never takes out her card and only venmos me if I send her the request. She lets Venmos sit for weeks before paying them. I still let a lot of things slide.

My SO adds very little to our relationship. She has a dead end job. I cook. I work. I oversee finances. I plan trips. She doesn’t have a voice in the relationship. I’ve asked her to give her perspective but she always defaults to mine bc she thinks I’m smarter/worldly. She feels intimated by me and my social circle. Lately, I’ve found myself thinking for her. Anticipating her wants and needs and then adjusting my behavior to meet them. Which she appreciates but it’s frustrating 29M 27F

I’m my partners only associate and I went on parental leave two weeks ago. I feel horrible for leaving him to handle our cases alone, but am trying to focus on my wife and new baby. That being said, should I still offer to handle minor matters that come in to ease the workload off my boss? He’s been super cool during my entire leave, so I don’t feel pressured to one bit.

Flying Delta instead of American this week. I feel like I'm cheating on a girlfriend. But this new one treats me right. Torn

For the last month I’ve been contemplating life. It hasn’t been so much if, but more so when. A director on my team in a different vertical has been pushing me to the brink with extreme emotional abuse and now sabotaging my livelihood; job security (health insurance, financial stability, place to live etc) following months of initiating a flirtatious relationship they finalized a divorce. Just months ago this was someone I saw spending my life with, growing old besides …

I feel stuck. This job is hard. Feels like lots of people piling on while I’m away from home and my SO. It would be nice to feel more supported and have less toxic clients.

Why doesn't my wife get that it's just me and the great dane now. She making this awkward wanting some room in the bed.

What do you listen to or watch when on the treadmill? Getting bored quickly! For context - young mom

Has anyone ever been in a mostly platonic relationship? I don’t like to label myself much, but I don’t really like intimacy and don’t really like romance. Some people would say I’m asexual/aromantic, but unless that too is a spectrum, I don’t think I fit squarely into that group. As I get older, I’m realizing I’m feeling very lonely. It would be nice to find someone, but have it be platonic (any gender/sex). It’s weird, I know. It’s hard to articulate as well. Can anyone relate? 😭😭

I have to leave tomorrow morning for a biz trip and my 3 year old just asked, “Daddy can I go to San Francisco with you?” 💔 How do you work/life balance THAT?

Do you think marriage is necessary? Why do we need the law to regulate the relationship? Isn't being committed emotionally enough? Would like to get different perspectives from both women and men.

So my ex from 10 years ago called and apologized for being an ass. He spent over an hour going through details of our relationship and sincerely apologizing. We’re obviously much older now, but I’m just so cautious. He wants us to date again. Have y’all ever heard of something like this?

I had a break up and it was me who messed up. I blame myself all day and constantly have dreams of her. It’s been few months.

They think I should move back when I have more financial security. What more should I plan for ?
