I've been with my gf for almost 6 months now. For context she's still in grad school (we have a 2 year age gap) and I'm struggling to feel physically attracted to her. I have a good job, decent amounts of stress, I like to work out, spend time with friends, and am very outgoing. She's super sweet, kind, sensitive, and brilliant. I find her attractive but I find the fact that she's always up in my business and available to me unattractive. She also just got an amazing job in another state (1/2)

Anyone in D.C. or Baltimore looking to connect IRL? I grew up in central MD, lived in NoVA for a while, moved out of the area to other parts of the East Coast+West Coast and am back here for now. A lot of my friends from here are either married, moved out of the area, avoiding going out cuz of COVID, or hermits. 44/M

Why is it so hard to find a relationship? Is it a corporate thing?

My partner of 5 years ended our relationship last night. I’m shattered and feel absolutely sick, and I know the healing isn’t going to be easy. We were on the verge of an engagement and I was ready to spend the rest of my life with him.

I don’t know how to approach work during this time. I think I can get by, but I’m definitely not 100%. Should I talk to my boss about it? My team is close-knit and comfortable around each other, but I don’t know if it’s “appropriate.” What would you do?

I’m dreaming of resigning without another job lined up. I hate the toxic hell hole I call an office. working 60-70 hours a week with young kids makes it hard to look for a new gig too.

I made a mistake. I talked with the ex this morning. He said he misses me. And that while he walk talking to the other woman, he wished he was talking to me instead. And when he saw that I didn’t respond to his texts, he drank a shit ton. And then called this morning.

He’s not willing to commit to the other women because he’s not over me.

I need to block him.

Any recommendations on books or talks or videos I could share with a friend who is inclined towards Islam but hasn't accepted yet?

Thanks!

Where are you in your own path to parenthood?

Working moms in Seattle… could you use a moms night out? Like leave kids with partner on a Friday night, have vent/rant session with some fellow moms, go to a rooftop bar, or Sunday morning pedicure type of hangout? If so, tell me how I can meet you?! Is there a “moms go out” club? Seattle freeze is getting to me!

Boyfriend got off the phone when the argument was his fault. Thinking about being the bigger person and calling him to resolve it, but realized I’m the one who always calls back and apologizes first. I want him to but also don’t want this to drag on. Thoughts?

Life is in a weird phase right now. Major breakup 6 months back, best friend moved out of the country, and I will be moving to Seattle from NYC for a new job (I love NY). The job is something I have..

Curious for those of you who are/have been married in the bowl, how old were you when you got married and would you do it again?
I was 29 years old and would definitely do it again (most of the time 😂)

Lady 🐠 : My husband and I both want to have kids in the near future, but to be honest, I'm overwhelmed at the idea. I feel like it would be career suicide for me. Advice?

Girlfriend has very obvious high functioning anxiety and body image issues that she admits but thinks she doesn’t need therapy or medication and that reading self-help books will help her. It’s not changing in the last several years and it’s impacting our relationship. Anyone have experience with their SO dealing with untreated anxiety? I know I can’t control her but would like to express my feelings without sending her into a spiral. For context, I’ve been in therapy for 12 months and medicated

Looking for some perspective: we just got a brand new $2,000 glass top 78" dining table. I asked my husband to please use a table cloth when he uses that table for d&d with his friends to avoid scratches and the loud dice on the table. He got upset that I "don't let him enjoy our stuff," that I "hate the sound of him having fun," and he says I am being unreasonable. From my perspective, I just want to preserve this expensive piece of furniture that we both love. Am I being unreasonable?

Have any bottoms struggled with hemorrhoids before? Nervous mine won’t go away/this will be an ongoing issue that keeps me from bottoming in my relationship. Also a bid nervous to talk about it with my partner - concerned he’ll be turned off. Any advice would be helpful!

what are the biggest red flags in a distance relationship? I would say being spotty on communication is the biggest one for me.

I only have about 4 friends in real life that I can count on and the older I get, the more content I am with that.

I used to be really sad (sometimes I still am) but I’m starting to realize that quality is truly better than quantity.

I used to wonder who I would invite to my wedding, baby shower, etc. Why wasn’t I good enough to have tons of friends? But that’s just not my path and it’s okay.

Looking for a husband 🤣

Has anyone successfully found a significant other through an app? Wondering if these actually work, your experience with them, etc.

I opted into the expensive insurance plan bc I’m going to start my heaux phase after my second vaccine dose today. I heard that prep is costly and I’m also afraid of the side effects. For those on prep, what was your experience starting out? And do y'all pay a lot?

My TC is 150K, I’m already maxing out my 401K, and am thinking of putting some money into I-bonds. Should I try to get the backdoor roth IRA? Anything else I can / should invest in? Currently have a lot of cash lying around.

At a different job I had a customer trying to swindle me in telling me that there was a deal in an item that never had a deal or promotion for sale so he made me scan the item 20 times before believing me. Obviously, he finally let it go but I scan it with an inventory scanner that showed me all of the sale price promotions if there were any

Has anyone used a resume writer? Worth it?

Hi Fishes,

Any idea about AD salary range in Axtria ?

Do Bain ppl not like hiring bcg/McKinsey for roles? I’ve come across at least 5 companies where the entire team is ex Bain and no one else. But when I see bcg/mck the teams are much more evenly distributed.

I have been in management for the past 8 years and part of large corporations. I just recently joined a small organization that I have wanted to be a part of for the past 2 years, accepted the role of general manager. This organization knew that I don’t have general manager experience, no payroll experience, no experience setting prices, no purchasing experience and today, 6 days after starting, I have been asked to step down due to not being confident that I will be ready in 3 weeks…

Hi Guys,
One of my friend is a Mechanical Engineer at a company and he is design engineer with 4 yoe.
He is tired of the job as he has to work for day/night shifts and sometimes work 16 hours if his collogue is absent. His CTC is 3.
He asked me if he can switch from Mechanical to IT industry?
I said that it's possible to switch but you will have to work really hard and face many challenges. He said he is ready to give whatever it takes.
Has anyone witnessed switch from Mechanical to IT?

How do you get over the fact that your
bf (who is super active on social media
and USED to post you without you
asking) just never does it anymore?
You don't suspect him of cheating or
anything like that, he just doesn't think
to do it anymore. I don't want our
fights to be around social media, and
honestly am embarrassed even typing
out this post, but it’s been on my mind lately.

Has anyone been in a relationship where it’s so wrong but feels so right at the same time? Wrong in the sense that we are different religions, speak different languages (common language is English) and have an overall different outlook on life. Right in the sense that he treats me so well, he’s grounded and driven. I am so torn.

Any advice on how to do an organized shared family calendar? My wife and I want to get more sophisticated than a calendar on the fridge. Would love to link to Outlook w/out sharing each other’s work meetings. How do you manage this with your partner?

Been with a girl for years. We get along well and enjoy each other's company. We're comfortable around each other, and I've generally been happy with her. As we've begun talking about marriage, I'm really giving some deliberate thought as to whether she's the right life partner for me. I'd pondered it before, but our relationship progressed very organically so never gave it too much serious consideration.

Now that I think of it, cont..

I thought that this space was for search a relationship 😅🤣😅🤣😅

My boyfriend and I already live together (I moved into his 1BR apartment this year), and we’re excited to get a new place together in early 2023. Any practical tips on how to decide what furniture to keep vs. replace? We’re still renting, so I’m inclined to just keep what we have. What pieces are worth buying new now vs. holding off until we have a more permanent place?

12 years and my partner won't do chores. Vent vent vent. I make 80% of our income and pay 80% of expenses. I'm also tidy but hate cleaning. Partner works 20-30 hours/ week no kids and is a slob. 3 months ago made chore list, got them to sign on the list the 50/50 split that it was fair. 3 months later I've been doing my chores they haven't done any. Brought it up today and was accused that the list was unfair they refuse and they dont have time because they must "work to subsidize your expenses"

If someone said (over text) “happy thanksgiving to and for you” what would you think they meant? To be clear the intent was “Happy Thanksgiving to you” as a greeting and “happy Thanksgiving for you” as in, I am giving thanks for you.

Anyone here paying for a hinge subscription?
