it’s been 4 months since i parted with someone i was dating. i thought i was getting over them and life has been full but their absence could not feel any greater as of late. my heart has been intermittently aching and i took my own advice of getting over someone by getting under another but it’s so temporary every time. some of my best memories w them occurred last summer and not a day goes by i don’t think about them. feelings and people come and go but i wish this person stayed.

What makes or breaks it for you when looking for a spouse? (State examples of each if you’d like)

I have a student with autism. He is mostly behavioral and at a lower learning level so he has to be in a separate classroom. We try to let him play with the students at recess or join in class parties. He has a sibling that attends school as well. When we were waiting in car line a group of girls talked about how they feel so bad for the sibling because of my student. Thankfully, neither student or sibling heard. But how do I respond to that as an adult? Especially, if they do hear?

I married someone less intelligent than me who I found very physically attractive. As we age, and he changes, how do I preserve and adapt the relationship? I love him very much, and he is a great man (kind, smart, highly-educated, fun, more). My eyes wander, and I’m newly realizing my superficiality vs. friends.

Am a woman open to advice from all. But curious to learn from men with direct experiences or indirect experiences from their friend groups (vs. just thoughts on the matter).

I just had a student come to me to explain she just came out to her mother and her mother took it horribly. She is talking about sending her away to boarding school. How should I go about addressing.

First-year teacher looking for some back to school advice/tips. Meet the teacher night is tomorrow. What are some things you do the first week for your littles?

My closest friend of 15 years told me she's been in love with me for several years. I don't know what to do. She's my closest friend. We talk about everything under the sun. I don't want to lose her. I could feel the pain in her voice as she told me this. She already knows she's just a friend to me. I'm serious about my girlfriend and we've discussed getting married. Is there anything I can do to lessen her pain and preserve the friendship?

So at the tender age of 41, my wife and I decided it would be a good idea to add a non-fur baby to the family. I’m buying her a watch as a gift but while at the AD of course I’m now thinking I...

I love watching my 3-year-old's engineering hacks... he wanted to pet the cat so he built a fort out of pillows and waited, now the cat's purring on his lap and they're both asleep

I want to leverage my existing T&E big law experience to one day work for midlaw as a partner, making $300k-$500k, while billing 1500-1700, relying on associates, and focusing on biz dev/writing the remainder of the time. I’d like some degree of separation between work and life, with evenings and weekends mostly reserved for my family.

Is it possible to aim for a setup like this, and if so how should I work towards this goal while in big law and what types of smaller firms should I aim for?

Parents coming in for a cruise for anniversary. Where should I take them to dinner?

Just wanted to put it out there that no one is perfect. I'm going on 13 years with my significant other. I'm 25 years old. While our story isn't the typical one, we've had two breaks in between. He's made mistakes and I've chosen to forgive those mistakes, encourage him on bettering himself, for himself. He's grown in to the most kind, respectful, and now responsible gentleman. Love is worth fighting for. I feel like we don't hear this enough.

Anyone have recommendations of Talkspace vs. BetterHelp?
Also, how did you all get over the hump of talking about very personal feelings with a stranger? I’ve never done therapy before, and it’s...

What are you thoughts staying in contact with an ex?

Did you fight with your SO during this? Just finished first cycle and upset - husband initially supportive but thinks I’m overreacting. And then he said he didn’t want this which is contrary (cont)

When you have it out with your significant other, what is your motivation to make up? a) you can’t fight anymore and want it end b) you realize you are wrong and apologize c) you don’t care who is right or wrong and want to stop it from getting worse and long-term impacts on your relationship d) you realize you love this person and everything goes away

I've been avoiding breaking up with someone (I've been dating off and on for a year) for the past few weeks because I can't decide the best way to do it. We're not compatible long-term. He's not seeing anyone else and I've told him I'm seeing other people but he's starting to have relationship expectations for me since we reconnected a few months ago. Any tips for having the conversation? I'd prefer to do it via text but I know people say it's not appropriate and it should be over the phone.

Have been funneling all of my stress and anxiety at a friend and finally reached a breaking point where I think I completely tarnished/absolutely tainted it...feels so shitty I couldn’t control myself

Anybody still have children going to private school in person. Our 5 yo is in a Montessary where they had 3-4 COVID cases reported over the weekend. They are still keeping it open for now. We are wondering if we should send our kid. What are other parents doing?

I am a finance intern for LM since June of 2021. I’ve been working through the school year as well. I will graduate next spring, so I will have basically 2 years of experience in Corporate Finance. What would be my start salary with those 2YOE? I see a bunch of internal positions starting at $75k but it seems quite low of the NY area. How much do you guys make at 4YOE? I’d love to work with project management within finance eventually, instead of finance analysis.

I am debating if I should throw my application into BCG. But I hear terrible things about culture. I currently a senior leader in a strategy group and sometimes it’s not very collaborative. So anyone that works or has worked for BCG: how would you describe BCG’s culture?

Hey everyone. I'm joining JPMC next week and was wondering do they provide a budget to purchase your own laptop/equipment. My manager said they don't provide laptops and that I can use my own. My laptop isn't the best so I would want to buy a new one.

Who’s working today? The day after the Big Game.

Country going backwards in the name of religion. Gap between rich and poor widening. Purchasing power cratering. Politicians only in for themselves and not their constituents. More natural disasters every year. Temperatures consistently rising. More conflicts and pain everyday, domestic and global. Social media dumber by the day.

To me, this is the world coming to a slow end. And that’s okay, I accepted it. Just going to appreciate my luck and enjoy every day while the world is still here.

I know I have accomplished a lot!!! I just don’t have the confidence in myself, I always feel I can do more! How can I have my confidence back?????

Everyone I went to hs with glowed up and I’m so happy seeing them be fabulous.

Can someone please save me from myself and remind me that nothing good has ever come from dating extremely fit men with large neck tattoos?

I might just get a hellcat today. Why freaking not

I've worked at AWS for only a few months and I already hate it.

My onboarding buddy sucks and doesn't train me and can't answer any questions. I get a 1hr meeting once a week.

I like them as a person but I feel like I have no choice but to tell my manager that something needs to change with my training or I'm not going to stay.

I don't want to be an asshole but it seems like I don't even have a choice because I actually cannot do my job since this person refuses to train me properly.

It doesn’t feel right that Bout is being traded for Griner and Whelan. A convicted arms dealer for a basketball player and a random. It doesn’t seem like a fair trade to me. I’d like to be enlightened though if anyone has insight.
