Joining this bowl since I’m on the east coast and all my friends are on the west coast! So I thought this bowl would be a good place to chat and not spoil things from my friends at home!

Question: Girl friends parents finally came over for a ristha. Everything went great or so I thought but now she wants to time to think about moving forward. The pain point she brought up is that we are in different states and she is feeling pressed. Although in that time she has started communicating less and I literally had to beg her to get on face time. My gut says she wants to end it but unsure. Any advice ? It's been 2 weeks since this event

Is my relationship worth it? Met my SO of 3 years senior year of college. Hoped we would graduate and start our full time jobs together, but my SO is unfortunately still in school (switched majors, transferred schools, etc). Our relationship has taken a big hit, as I am moving forward with my life but he is still in school and can’t find a job. I am also starting to resent him and he is turning more insecure. I am only 23, is this worth it?

Anyone know any good divorce lawyers in NYC?
Thanks in advance 🙇🏾‍♀️

Hi everyone I am relocating to Hyderabad next month. Even though I look forward to meeting new people I can’t seem to ignore the fact that I will move away from family. My family situation is already complicated, my mom and dad are not on good terms so we don’t live together and when I move it’ll get worse. I am financially independent but I feel guilty for not being there for them. Is there any possibility of getting transferred to Gurgaon office(a lot closer to my home)if I talk to my manager?

I know the general answer to this, but I want to know others response.
If by your 30’s you’re mostly established in life, why is it then harder to establish a long lasting relationship with someone ?

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?

So… 3.5 year relationship came crashing in Jan due to covid depression, work burn out, lockdown etc. We have stayed in contact and recently he has come around to apologizing and considering getting back together. However he also revealed he started seeing someone casually 4 weeks ago and technically is cheating on her by meeting me for coffee and to discuss this. I’m upset that he’s dating others but shouldn’t be right? I mean, I did the same. Still hurts though. And I told him to sort that out

I recently floundered professionally and realized that the reason was I expected my relationship with my job to fulfill all my human needs and when it didn't I had no idea what to do. So just a reminder to prioritize the relationships in your life that give you meaning, your job is one of them but it's a poor life if that's the only one. Have great relationships with your friends your family and yourself

On the topic of intimacy with partners… I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years and the past year his libido has dropped to zero. Mostly due to work stress (he says). Whenever I try to initiate, he always shuts me down and says he’s not in the mood. I even touch him and he gets hard but stops me as soon as I try to unzip him. We went from once a week to maybe once a quarter.

I’ve talked to him about it and he says I should take care of myself. So frustrated. 😭😭

Anyone here ever been scared by some major differences in materialism with your partner? I’ve been considered “boujee” by some friends but my girlfriend of just over a year is on a whole other level. Lately because of many of her friends getting engaged / married, rings have been mentioned and she’s said pretty much she wouldnt be happy with under 25k.

I come from a very middle class upbringing, and so does she, although she’s influenced by friends dating professional athletes and stuff

Hi friends, I’m expecting an offer from Google Cloud. I haven’t shared my salary expectation with HR and expect Google Cloud to give me their best package. In this case, do people still negotiate? If so, what / how would they negotiate?

For some time now, series about the pre-end of the world time is becoming more and more popular, this is the case with "The Handmaid's Tales" it has a perfect image design, characters with a perfectly defined background, and the ability to represent a totally possible pre-apocalyptic world. It has it all. Any other series with these features?

Should I continue to live at my parents house in the Midwest as things start to open back up or move back to my assigned office city on the east coast? I’ve been saving a lot of money, but I don’t have any friends out here in suburbia. I’m only 25, no student loans, and kind of want to live the city life and make some friends, but I’m hesitant because this high savings rate is really nice and my project at work would be remote even without covid, so I don’t HAVE to move out anytime soon

Does Madison not drink for religious reasons? Do we know what her background is?

Hannah Anne is the clear winner

Join r/thebachelor Reddit sub if you haven’t already. Thank me later.

I wanted Mike Johnson to be the new bachelor... He is such a great guy! 😩
I have nothing against Matt James, but Mike proved us he was ready and a stand-up man.

Who do you think will be the winner of the season? I picked Hannah Anne the moment I saw her

Who else is ready to see Jamie and her drama go? Although, I am pretty sure we‘ll see her on Paradise...!

I like this show but I’m getting tired of these really young cast.

I can’t wait to see what’s up with Hannah B

Someone fill me in on Hannah B please?!!

Peter re: each one of his girls — “there’s just something about her. I’ve got a really good feeling”

Why is Maddie trying to prove her love so badly??? He’s not ready! He’s conflicted 😐

Anyone else not buying that Zach wants to be a dad and pretty much everything that he is selling? I just think he wants to be the next bachelor.

Is it me or does Ana have nonstop rbf? She definitely could not play poker because her face does not hide her feelings at all.

How many are turned off by Peter’s behaviors?

By the way, can we take a minute to acknowledge that Lana is real?!? 😳😱

Damn. So much new found respect for Hannah Ann 🙌🏼
