It’s becoming apparent my spouse has zero respect for what I do for a living. He’s a blue collar guy, and he works hard and I appreciate that so much. It came up how he “hates office people and thinks they’re stupid,” and I could tell he didn’t mean to say that out loud. ☝🏻Least I’m smart enough to think before I open my dumb mf mouth.

I call my family after work and spend time with them.Sometimes I even take my family on a trip with me lol

Partner of 2 years has asked for space. No contact for a month but agreed to go to couples therapy then. This after a really hard month relationally and then she had to put her dog down. Asked for..

If at all, how do you guys manage romantic relationships in IB? It’s easier if your s/o is in the industry bc they have an innate understanding someone outside wouldn’t but I don’t think that means you have to find someone in the industry. Curious to hear some thoughts.

I have pretty strong social phobia and am worried about making friends. I'm going to be working for an engineering company so I imagine I don't have to be really up on the latest trends or anything but how can I talk to people without making it sound unnatural?

Recommendations of infant/toddler daycare near park hill neighborhood? I work in downtown so downtown area can also be considered. Thanks!

So much baggage brought into the relationship. 2 years in and just discovered a whole lot more. Its been mentally extremely difficult and it’s changed me as a person. Just venting but feel hopeless and I know my SO is suffering. Wish there was a solution but I’m losing hope

Just found out my boyfriend of 3 months (talking stage was about 6 months before making it official) slept with his ex a couple times while we were talking. After we agreed to be exclusive. Without protection. I’m so crushed 😞

Any tips for organizing a bedroom, closet, dresser & bathroom? My teen has IADHD, and low executive functioning. Her room looks like a land mine. Clean clothes are mixed in with dirty, her desk is a disaster, she won’t let go of clothes she’s outgrown, drawers are open with clothes hanging out. A therapist said to close her door if we don’t want to see it but it’s more than that. She needs this important life skill & I don’t know how to help. Easier to organize w/o her but that’s not a solution.

Does anyone have experience or advice on being a stepdad? My bf has a 6 year old (whom I adore) and I want to be as good a stepdad as I can be without overstepping any boundaries. Any advice is welcome!

Anyone know any good divorce lawyers in NYC?

People who grew up with dads who weren't often around because of work -- how did it impact your relationship with your dad? Do you guys get on well, are you close?

Sooo my nanny fell asleep holding the baby. My husband and I work from home. So, he walked in, saw them and put the baby in the crib.
Ask: Any advice on how to address this with the nanny? Also, it it a fire able offense?

Context: Nanny started full time on 1/24; baby is not quite 5 months old; we are WFH and have cameras installed that are visible (she should know they exist); first time having a nanny

Hi! Looking for insight. My fiancée is currently in the US on an F1 Student Visa. We plan on getting married in Dec 2022, before he graduates in May 2023. Is it better to get our marriage certification in the US and have our ceremonies in our home country? Or does it not matter?

Anybody else struggling with the fact that nearly all their friends are coupled up?
Not in an envious way. Just... Damn, this sh*t can leave you very alone.

This week, I received a letter in the mail from a Catholic church in SC. So apparently my ex is trying to get our marriage annulled. We have been divorced for 20 years now. The letter said they wanted to ask me general questions about our marriage. I really don't want to talk to anybody about my past relationship with my ex. The letter said they could issue a subpoena to make me comply. Not sure why she is doing this? She remarried and had a child. So not sure what she has to gain by this? Cont.

Hi Fishes,
My zs joining date is June 1, before that when can I expect the joining formalities and onboarding process and laptop.
As of now there is no intimation except Idfy verification. Would be great help if you please suggest.

I’m having the hardest time finding a new job. I have 12 years of HR experience, a masters in HR, SHRM certification, and all I keep getting are rejection emails. I’ve never experienced this difficult of a time searching for new opportunities. Is this normal once you hit a certain level in your career or is it just me?

Does anyone know of any non profit companies (for loan forgiveness purposes) that offer at least part time, if not full time, telemedicine work? I know this is a long shot but I have been very curious if such a thing exists.

What was your most amazing day in advertising?

Should I be reducing my contribution to my 401k at the moment? Based on the drastic 🐻 market?

What would be valid reasons for turning down a great lateral opportunity, and how to go about telling that firm no?

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills. My entrepreneurial pursuits remain hampered. For the interim, I’ve been looking for a remote opportunity where I can leverage my skills in marketing, sales, social media, and elsewhere for a decent sum. I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.

For remote folks: am I more likely to find a remote role that allows me to move around multiple times during my tenure at a big FAANG-like company, or a startup? what are things I should look out for in my search?

Has anyone been to Iceland recently and hiked to see the active fagradalsfjall volcano? Would you recommend doing a tour or is it pretty easy/low risk to do on your own?

Amber Heard is a bad actress, and an even worse liar.

Anybody have experience with a legitimate private investigator in the nyc area? This is an awkward conversation with friends and family so thought I would try here. Online presences are difficult to gauge so web not that much help.

I don’t hire people who bring up their support for the GOP in interviews. It makes me worried about their critical thinking skills, and their ability to be professional in front of clients.

I need to let it out but I’m so fucking proud of myself and I just realized how lucky I got and it took me until just now to see it. I started in the military and it only took 2 months for me to get out and fall into a bottomless hole of depression. My transition went from: $13 an hour part time, separation with the wife, new job at $18 an hour for physical labor, hit with disability diagnosis, then $20 an hour new office job, reconnecting with wife, having 2nd kid, nearly divorcing (cont.)

My boss is a family friend of mine and that has led to a complicated and problematic dynamic in the workplace. I would like to quit my job but do not want to ruin our friendship or make things awkward. :/

So I dated a girl last year then things didn’t work out but we remained friends and kept in touch throughout the year (also meet up for coffee, beach day, etc) but nothing ever happened after we called it off. Now she moved to the city where I live and her parents came visiting her. She wanted them to meet me. She was really happy and she wanted to go out for lunch all together again. (Continue below)

Chick Fil A is 🔥🔥 but in certain circles/cities it’s a bummer that some label this as the same as being homophobic.

Pretty new here! Great news ..JOB offer …however the company is lowballing salary ..I informed recruiter Amount was not acceptable …sent off the salary requirement letter …. Nail biting ..Why waste my time again …she didn’t know the budget… so we proceeded forward, her reply ..advised me to talk w hiring team but in final interview there was no opportunity to speak abt salary w hiring team ….Have to say I enjoy the posts & it’s a decent networking site!!

My friend’s dad was a firefighter during 9/11 who died very young because of lung cancer. He was one of those who were denied coverage. She was just having a really hard time this week. Her boss knows this and told her last Friday with a straight face that she’s sulking. Some of these VC people man.

Moving to NYC Soon and I’m scared. What if I can’t meet new people ☹️?

Anyone else pull out and sort through 18 dresses, 3 blazers, 13 shirts, 9 pants and 6 shoes for a five day trip, or is that just me? I hate packing 😤 (btw carry on only)

My wife surprised me last night for my 30th bday (which was last week) with a get together with my closest friends I have known since middle school. Most of them live out of state with kids and somehow it all worked out. Feeling really loved.
