Just curious...for those of you who met your spouse after 30, what age were you? Curious for hope and encouragement.

Are you going to die because you are still single? For crying out loud. Do you know how lucky you are? Life is about finding the right spouse and not about finding a guy by 30.

Again, I never said I had to meet him right now. I’m actually dating someone seriously right now. And no, I will not thank you later, because you’ve still not answered the question I asked. I’m actually annoyed that you’re making assumptions about all 30 year-olds, based on a movie series many of us never cared to watch. Peace + Light!

Love is for people at any age! Don’t lose hope! I got remarried at 40.

31 at meeting,
32 started dating,
35 got married

Don’t be afraid to wait. Good guys are out there, and there are plenty that will love and support women who want careers.

Married at 31 and divorced by 34. Would I do it again? Hell no. Agree with above post, focus on meeting the right person- trying to find a life partner by a certain age is utterly trivial.

I’m not old BUT when I was younger I thought it was important to have all the alphabets after my name (I.e. Phr, SHRM and all the others). I learning that the younger crowd coming into the market thrives off these identifiers yet they know very little about the real world aspects of the job. I watch leadership roll their eyes at the email footers. I feel like keeping those attached to my name hurts my credibility so I removed them…. I’m I thinking wrong?

It’s been really hard to keep my head up after what feels like endless rejection. Received a no today about position I really wanted. The interviews felt so genuine and I was even told I’d be a good fit. Ultimately it just seems that my experience isn’t translating, which really sucks when you feel stuck in your current role and want to make a transition. I’m so eager to keep learning. Would love to connect with any brand/account directors to get some advice.

So I’m late to the Indian Matchmaking series. Is it the guy who has to be wealthy and the women who need to come from wealth? There doesn’t seem to be a lot of emphasis on what the women do for a living, but the men all seem either well-off or getting called losers. Is that what people look for in real life too? So there’s no place for women on the come up to be with someone above their own social class?

I’m in a relationship for about a year - we generally have a good time together but don’t really have the butterflies and I haven’t really had a crush on him apart from maybe before we started talking.

Hi ladies! An old chestnut but would still love to hear your advice: i am fairly certain a key senior stakeholder is being difficult because he perceives me as a senior non white woman trying to boss him around. I have heard that he doesn’t like to surround himself with people cleverer than him in fear of them taking over his job, which to me further confirms this is a possibility. What can/should I do? TIA!

Ladies how do you manage your relationship when your spouse holds you to what you promised you would do before you got married but then you realize you can’t do it. I had promised my husband I would fast with him for an entire day on a specific religious holiday, but when I did for the first time I had stomach pains, headache, and nausea. I told him I can’t do it for that long again but he said “we’ll see, you just need to push through”.
