I've had a couple of promotions over the last 2 years, and subsequently, my salary has changed quite a bit. I'm noticing some pretty significant resentment in my friends group and extended family that we spend a lot of time with.
Lots of comments about spending my husband's money (we both work, I make more now). Most of these women don't work at all, but they're snarky that I do and am successful? Yeah, I'm kinda doing it all: Work, marriage, toddler life, friends. I'm tired. 🤣 gimme a break!

Confession: My wife surprised me with her first tattoo, and it's my name initials on her ribcage. I didn't do any work today and ignore a ping from MD - we had it 4 times. I love her so much.

My GF and I are dating for 2.5 yrs , She met an office colleague (he has a GF) recently who she initiated a friendship with. I feel that they interact a lot and I'm a little worried of her getting too close to him. A day ago she asked him for lunch and they were out for almost 4-5 hrs. When I expressed how I felt she keeps saying there's nothing going on. I feel that when start to get emotionally close to some other guy than SO then it's not a good sign in relationship. Am I overthinking? contd.

SO I have been dating for couple months doesn’t have friends and wants to hang out all the time, is this a red flag?

Hi! Have any here gone the natural cycle IVF route? What was your experience like? Did you have success in growing your family this way? Would you recommend it to others?

This job is not for women with kids unless you go on some sort of reduced schedule or stay up super late most nights after the kids are asleep. This is so impossible!! 😖 just needed to vent somewhere

I am in a long distance relationship with someone who is currently in B school. He spends pretty much all his breaks and holidays traveling with his classmates. Most of the time I am fine. But for some important holidays and my birthday, I told him we should spend time together. He just said it’s more important for him to bond with his classmates and ignore my ask. It’s really disappointing and I don’t know what else to tell him. Is that a reasonable ask or am I being dramatic?

Anyone else have family know you are struggling to conceive and then when their kids act out they turn to you and say, “you sure you want kids?” I guess they are trying to lighten things but I find it really hurtful.

Tomorrow is the 1 year anniversary of the passing of my roommates mom. She’s devastated and I know tomorrow will be hard. Any ideas on what I can do to help her through appreciated.

How does one make new/more friends as a late 20s married person. Lol my friend circle has shrunk so much

How to overcome a breakup. I'm heartbroken 😭

The last guy I was with is back with his ex girlfriend. I know he’s been unfaithful to her for years. Ways to tell her? Or just let karma get him eventually? I’d just want to know if I were her.

My confession is I have always had very competetive and hardworking close friends around me with whom I felt amazing to compete, do more and be the best. A few years back we all made to different countries, now I achieve far less than my potential and find it hard to be as efficient as before. How to fix this?

Does anyone have ideas for social distancing little kids walking in line? Teaching personal space in moving lines is difficult in normal years, but this year I don't know how I will get them to keep a 6ft. distance as they walk.

AITA? If my SO of 1 year wants to get a dog, do I get an opinion? We don’t live together

Getting over heartbreak and having a full time job is torture lol. My boyfriend and I just broke up after almost a year of being together. It was such a beautiful relationship but ultimately he just didn’t love me. I love him so much. My mind knows that I deserve reciprocal love and I’m worthy, but I feel physically ill. My body hurts, my stomach is in knots, my head hurts. How is it that I have to mend a broken heart but also meet my billable hours lmao

It’s during this time of year that I’m reminded of how the word ‘no’ does not work with my beloved little kin who insist on climbing and trying to eat random inedible objects.

Read your childrens’ diaries every week. That way you know if you’re not giving them enough privacy.

Feels great when you transition with people from clients to good friends 🙂

Need help settling a debate with my friend. She thinks I will have an easier time getting research grants because I'm male. I think it's the opposite because companies are trying to change the status quo and get more women involved (which I'm not complaining about... please don't attack me.) Which one of us is more right than the other? I'm interested in getting as many viewpoints as possible, whether or not they agree with me or with her. Thanks!!!

Lately I’ve been seriously considering making the transition to product marketing. Current PMMs please weigh in — on average, how many hours do you actively work in a day?

Do you ever get disheartened by all the content you're pushing out, only to get a few people to engage with it?

Hi fishes!

I am seeing too many post about awards like rising star, Kudos, etc. People keep telling there managers recommended them for these awards.
My manager doesn't interact much with us. I consider myself as some one who has worked hard for project and other intiatives. Should I ask my manager to consider me and if yes how should I initiate it.
Part of MC team.

Thank you.
