Just got married to the love of my life that I met on fishbowl!! Sharing hope and joy for those looking for a SO!

Your mom goes to college

Have this nurse at work that is driving me crazy...she told a family their kid would "definitely need dialysis" before I had spoken with them

My family/friends ask me for store discounts all the time. It's really uncomfortable to say no, but I have to. Any tips on how to handle these conversations?

My gf and me call each other everytime we have free time. However lately she seems disinterested in phone time. She never initiates calls anymore and she tells me she wants to hang up in the middle of the day and not right before bedtime. We live a 4 hour drive apart. And I told her this is like living together from a distance, because I put her on the house speakers. What can I do to keep her engaged?

We're about to have our first child and my wife and I are both as prepared as we can possibly be and panicking about anything we may have forgotten. What do you wish you knew before becoming a working parent in law?

Women who went back/forgave your cheating partner, why did you do it? Did it work out in the end?

I feel lucky my family didn't catch covid19 from me- there is no way to really protect them

I just wanted to reach out and let you all know I understand how tired and beat down we all feel at this point in the year. I’m feeling it too. I also know exactly how students can try us. What I’m working on every day though is to see my kids as God does… not the kids that know how to push buttons and drive me crazy, but as the beautiful lives they are, all deserving of the best we can give them every day. I know it’s not easy, but that’s what I’m working on.

if someone joined EY gds within how many days he/she can add their dependents???

in which month??

How can I get passed cynicism?

Having struggled with visa for the past ~6 years, I have become extremely cynical. I don’t trust real friendships anymore because friends turned into competitors or got too burdened to maintain the friendships.
I feel somewhat disgusted when my coworkers or managers tried to “build rapport” with me.
I understand the value of doing so, but my repulsion inevitably showed through my apparent desire to end small talks as soon as possible.

Hadn’t noticed this sub before, and most of the threads are old so thought I’d ask a follow up - how has everyone been handling parenting with public accounting? I’ve got a toddler and my wife is an accountant (industry), and we only have a few immediate family in the country- but they have health concerns. Busy season was rough, things are looking better now as things return to normal. Still working crazy hours if you count the daycare duties on top of utilization targets.

Gonna bite and post in here even though it’s scary! I’m just having a tough time getting over my 3 year relationship. I’ve been spending weeks trying to pin point where things went wrong. He was very cold to me in the end and completely cut me off so suddenly. I was going through some personal issues this summer related to family & work that made me quite stressed & anxious. I tried my best to not let it show but you can’t help what you feel when you’re struggling. When he broke up (cont…)

How long did you date your SO before moving in with them?

Stupid question but getting a divorce now and having a hard time figuring out what to do with sentimental things such as wedding pictures, travel pics, ornaments we bought together, etc. What did you do? Relationship was over 12 years and don’t know what to do. Should I jus pretend that those 12 years never happened or she was not there?

Divorce is amicable and based on growing apart rather than bc of cheating or fighting or anything else..

I'm a US citizen living abroad I applied almost 11 months ago for my spouse. Married for years, kid. I wait and wait. It seems this will take 2 years, maybe more. I feel trapped. On one side the US system demands I work and domicile in US, the other side says families should be prioritized to stay together. My spouse has had enough of the process. I feel trapped abroad and locked in a dysfunctional system. We're just in limbo, it's depressing

How do I start the divorce process? Do I have to get a lawyer? Help...!

Male 🐠, if you and a girl had a “situationship” but obviously had feelings for each other and it had to end for one reason or another, how often do you still think about the girl? Would she be on your mind as you try to move on?

My SO is an alcohol abuser but has said he knows it’s a problem and would like to cut back or quit. Any suggestions or advice in how to help and cope with this. He becomes a different person when he drinks. I want to support him but don’t know how or where to start.

Whoever said bumble bbfs was great couldn’t have been more right. It’s weird I’ve l been confident in how I look in the last few years but my personality and likability was put into question but instantly I seem to be receiving the friendship attention I like, 50+ likes by 4am on the first day, signed up at 2am. It’s kind of nice to make brand new friends without having a connection or a class together. Old friends and friends or friends sometimes benchmark you and don’t view the new you

Anyone make a cross country move as part of a job switch during covid? Wondering if the company expects you to be moved/have a date planned in mind if you aren't already living in the area

If job posting pay was $36.66 hourly (no range) what would be an acceptable offer and counter offer?

Hello Everyone,

I have not shown my first company's experience in resume as I don't have experience or relieving letter. Will it affect my background verification. As I have provided the UAN no. and other details on Infosys launchpad.

SO excited about the new iPhone 14! I currently own an 11 Pro Max and never really upgraded because this one was still fine, but I feel like I want something newer. Has anyone purchased the 14 yet?

Hi!!!

What cheat sheets do you all use for writing IEP goals? Is it from the district?

How do you deal with ADD and being able to clearly explain your ideas? Are meds the answer? Really don’t want to do that. Already in therapy. Plz help.

Hi sharks,
Bowl seems so silent. Can we keep it interactive? Please suggest.

Hello, I am looking for job. I have more than 9 yrs of experience in application support role. I can join immediately. I will much appreciate if any lead/referral.

Are women always catty in this line of work? Came from IT/tech and my experience was entirely different…

Got way too drunk at a work event last night. Please tell me horror stories to make me feel better 🙇🏽

Does anyone have insight into Alpha Real Capital? I’ve been approached for a Quantitative Analyst position in their London office, and was wondering if anyone has an insights into culture/ work-life balance. Thanks!

Ladies, sometimes we like our hair pulled a little too

The only things I wish were different in Avengers End Game were
1. For Black Widow to get a better send off (rocket literally ruins the emotional movement by startling Tony within minutes of Scarlett's death, which I felt was kind of disrespectful.)
2. For Hulk to get a re-fight with Thanos one on one or even along with the other 3 OGs.

Does anyone here have that one friend with really high standards for food and complains all the time you go out..

In an attempt to be healthier, I built a permanent standing desk. Now, once every couple hours my Apple Watch reminds me “it’s time to stand up” and I feel superior to all those chair sitters out there.

So this dude asked me late last night if I wanted to call him and said he needed someone to talk to while working late..told me to let him know if I had a guy over then he’ll talk to someone else. I didn’t have a guy over and not that kind of person so why assume that? It pisses me off.

Just spent 15 minutes buying a flight on the jet blue app... is there software really that slow?

I don’t understand the whole “sending love and hugs” thing people say. Does anyone actually feel the love when they read that?

Fully remote and looking at a bicostal lifestyle. I’ve found some nice long term furnished places, but where can I find a monthly rental for when I’m not at home base. I’ve looked at Enterprise and it’s roughly 2,000 a month for a compact. If I’m going to pay that, I’ll just lease a Urus for 18 months and save one or two hundred😂

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

I just want to retire

Can dogs still get abortions?

Was told I am a low performer today and need to improve or I am terminated. I have roughly 3 months to find a new job right?

So… I sometimes squirt and I’m super nervous during sex because I don’t know how guys will react. Fellas, how would you feel if your sneaky link started squirting during a session at her place?

You can slap anyone in the world right now with zero consequences, Purge style. Who do you slap? I'll go first: my landlady that increased my rent by 120%, while I still have no hot water.

Is it a red flag if someone says they don’t believe in self help books like Atomic Habits, Attached, etc?

What is your coffee cut off time?

Can anyone help me with a referral to a fully remote job? My social anxiety is getting out of control being hybrid. I'm a cute girl and I've been harassed in the past and I just can't get past it.

I’m a rebellious teenager trapped in a 30-year old woman’s body
