Just broke up with my partner of four years, nervous about living by myself in a pandemic, but kind of looking forward to it? Any tips? (I’m in NYC)

Anyone else moved out with a friend and realised you probably don't wanna be friends after your lease is done

Gift ideas for GF dad? We have been dating a year and a half, I get along with him super well. He is dealing with some medical complications so isn’t to active at the moment but loves cooking and golfing. He is one of those guys who already has everything he needs, and they are super wealthy so I feel bad getting him any clothing or accessories knowing it wouldn’t be as nice as the things he wears, although I know he doesn’t expect anything and would genuinely appreciate anything I got him

Just once I'd like to see a TV drama where the main characters DON'T end up together but rather have happy separate personal lives and happy together professional lives. More realistic no?

How do you know if your friendship has gone beyond friendship and it is something different?

What do you do when your lifelong friends get married, have kids and disappear to the burbs or wherever and you’re single, lonely and gay?

Does anyone actually like raising their kids? Or are they just lying to themselves and others because they can't undo that choice?

How do I get my fiancé excited about wedding planning? He thinks I am too bossy when it comes to planning but I just want to get things done and out of the way. I am a huge planner and do not like to procrastinate so I push to get things checked off to the lis.

Burnout from long hours is having a big impact on my family and my wife is asking me to consider working part-time for a while. Financially, we would be fine. I’m worried about how few opportunities there are for part-time MEs.

Your best tips on managing the emotional stress/burn out in family law - let’s share!

How do you pay your parents back for everything they’ve done for you if you were fortunate enough that they could support you through life? School, mental break downs, etc. I’m just starting my career and don’t have much $$ saved yet but I feel like they are the ones who need support now. And how do you pay it forward?

Best way to deal with family members who treat you like the family therapist? Over thanksgiving my aunt disclosed some intense stuff to me and asked me for my help/opinion, and it was uncomfortable. I don't feel good saying just don't talk to me about stuff like that, but I also am not paid to give therapy to my own family and the things they tell me put me in weird situations with other family members. Help!

Hoping this doesn’t turn controversial. Should I be teaching my young kids to read Quran in Arabic (so learn a new language just to read Quran but no value otherwise), or skip Arabic and have them read transliteration (so like Alhamdu lilahi) or third option to just read in English the translation where they will actually understand? I mean, I spend 100 dollars a week on a tutor to teach them Arabic. My parents spent thousands and I can barely read it now and prefer transliteration.thoughts?

Is a post-PhD gap year to travel and be reminded of what life is like a bad idea?

I would just like to give a shoutout to all eldest siblings, who acted as the guinea pig and broke down their parents so that the young siblings can live their best life. Y’all are the real MVPs 🙌🏼

[Seeking for advice] My ex and I dated for a few months and after hearing that my visa is expiring, he offered to marry me on paper for 30k. We had fights about it. I didn’t take it because I thought it’d affect our relationship negatively. He broke up with me 2 months later for various reasons and said it’s a decision for his own good, that he didn’t feel he’s getting much out of this, that he’s an entrepreneur needing to travel and be away some time and I seem to be pulling him back (cont)

An ex, who is still a friend, is having his son (previous relationship before he came out) come to the US to live here permanently. His son doesn’t speak English well, and I want to send him a welcome gift, as he really has no friends here. Any thoughts?

Feeling very unloved by my family, my friends, in life in general, my SO. Please comment with something funny or cute 💚❤️

Financial security is a big thing for me. I don't know why, but if a guy isn't sorted financially, I feel like I should just run. I'm ashamed to admit it and I probably didn't give certain good guys a chance, but I've worked so hard and can live comfortably and have savings and I don't really want to have to sacrifice that for anyone else and have them mooch off me. I think I need therapy to overcome this. Am I being immature?

Been with a girl for few months, really enjoyed moments that we shared together and barely got into any fights. But, somehow somewhat, I don’t see that we share the same vision in our career path. She wants to settle for administration roles while I want work & travel to multiple countries, really hard for her to find those opportunities within her current roles. I like her personality a lot but I feel like really hard to share interesting topics/ my works with her. Any advice please?

I'm not convinced strategy as we know it in the agency world is even worth it at this point. We pay lip service to it, we scope for it, we have CSOs, but at the end of the day beyond new business, it just isn't held in high esteem - and I don't mean the skepticism it's always garnered.
For every "amazing" insight that "fueled" a "human-centric communications solution", there are 15 briefs that just recycle the same insight now as clients just want the work to get done.
