It's an everyday torture when you hate your partner. Maybe the feeling is mutual.

Been there, done that. Eventually you grow to hate the job too, and will become bitter and angry. Good luck with that. 👋

I learned that you have to just push through it. Even if that means working harder... but people will notice. And at a certain level you have to show maturity and try to fix it. Try, try again. If it doesn't work then complain to someone and tell them all the steps you've taken to try and fix it.

Yeah I don't hate my CW on a personal level. But he is really hard to work with and it is dragging me down to the point we are both in a delicate situation with my boss. And I don't want to put the blame on him. Don't want to lose my job either.

I’m in this same position. I don’t hate my partner as a person but she doesn’t want to push anything creatively. Which leaves the majority of our ideas lacking and sub par. I’m afraid she’s holding me back and I have no idea how to fix it.

^I’m basically at a point where I’ve tried everything I know to get her to open up. I’ve started taking on projects alone to separate myself from her.

Starting to land in this area as well. I feel like I'm carrying my partner through life. Like his mom...

I feel you JAD1, I give him hw and he never does them. It's a one person party.

Anyone with partner issues: Talk to your supervisor if possible. If your issues are affecting your work, chances are they've noticed. There's a shot they can separate you.

GCS1, I hope I wouldn't hate the industry, I want to fix it.

On the topic of intimacy with partners… I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years and the past year his libido has dropped to zero. Mostly due to work stress (he says). Whenever I try to initiate, he always shuts me down and says he’s not in the mood. I even touch him and he gets hard but stops me as soon as I try to unzip him. We went from once a week to maybe once a quarter.

I’ve talked to him about it and he says I should take care of myself. So frustrated. 😭😭

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.

Perspective: monogamy is anti-human nature; in this era where each parent could raise a kid independently, marriage tends to be a shackle on many aspects of life. We live once, why does society expect us to live with 1 person for 60+ years? No wonder divorce rates are through the roof!

Hadn’t noticed this sub before, and most of the threads are old so thought I’d ask a follow up - how has everyone been handling parenting with public accounting?

Busy season was rough, things are looking better now as things return to normal. Still working crazy hours if you count the daycare duties on top of utilization targets.
