I've been working about 10 years and perhaps feeling pretty jaded. I don't hate my job but I don't think I'm as passionate as I use to be. My partner thinks that I have a bad attitude about it, he tends to be an overachiever, an all work no life balance sort of dude... So I feel like I would not be able to get him to understand...

Seems like you both are on different ships on different paths. It happens. But it might be time to end things with your partner before it gets way too sour. Mutual understanding and ending amicably leads to better bridges down the road if in case there’s opportunities for freelance or otherwise. And don’t be discouraged if you feel like you’re losing passion, gaining a NEW passion may be on the horizon👌🏼

Unsure of how to handle - or what the collective thinks - but in an interview last week COO of the office asks me ‘so are children in your near future?’

Preface, this was preceded by the interviewer going on and on about the need to work long and unfair hours (his words).

This is a pile of bullshit right? Also illegal from what I can gather. Have no desire to pursue the roll but figure I should tell them how shitty that is.
