Just some self affirmation. If her fear of commitment lands us not dating, I'll bounce back. I live in one of the most beautiful places in the world, have a loving family and many friends, and a rewarding job that challenges me. I'll rediscover inner peace before I date, and I'll find my long term partner eventually.

Late bloomers, where/how did you meet more queer friends?

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?

Sometimes you just have to laugh at our situation. We have a more challenging life and work experience than so many people, but we're also so blessed in so many ways. I have to say though, dwindling parent support this year has really been a challenge. I know everyone is stressed but I am feeling a little dumbfounded by some treatment I've received. How do you deal with unsupportive parents without getting worked up? My hands are tied

My wife is taking forever to get ready for an event despite us agreeing that we would leave 30 minutes ago. Is punctuality dead?

There’s a guy who plays a trumpet on my block for money and he plays a few tunes on a loop and it’s driving me insane. Anyone dealt with something like this?

My bf took a guys trip to Caribbean to celebrate a good friend of 20+ year’s milestone bday. The friend’s bday is the day before mine. Normally bf and I trip for my bday over the holiday weekend. Bf will be back for my actual bday, and we’re taking a domestic trip next weekend. That said, I still feel a little miffed that we’re not spending this weekend together like normal. Are my feelings unreasonable?

How many of you have hooked up with someone at work? Why was this the best and/or worst decision of your entire life?

Hello. Looking to date again….anyone have idea of best app for late 40s…

Is it weird to send a text the day after getting drinks with someone saying you enjoyed hanging out and want to hang out again?

Got drinks with a guy and it went incredibly well (talked for nearly 5 hours), but I met him in person instead of on an app (where meeting up is clearly defined as a date) so I’m not entirely sure if we both considered it a date? Don’t want to send a text and have him be weirded out, but also want to make it known that I want to be more than friends.

How to approach salary negotiation? I was recently made redundant (UK) with 1YOE, and now have an offer in a tech firm for a strategic business analytics post. The offer is about 15% below my previous salary (which they know); I'd be keen to lift it up by a few £k to bring it up to roughly 10% below.

How should I go about asking this - given I'm unemployed I'm not sure I have much leverage, and I'm already coming it with relatively low YoE / high banding for the role.

Any tips appreciated!

Love: WFH, Flexibility of not being “chained to desk” all day because I don’t have to take outside customer calls, ability to complete work assigned at any time of day within 72hrs, no micromanaging from my Supervisor, feeling like I’m my own boss

Hate: getting assigned bulks from others and it throws off efficiency of reviewing suits, monotony, depositions

How do I get over my fear of public speaking/interactions?
I’m going to work in corporate finance in person soon but I’ve been doing college online- I’m pretty introverted on top of that. I’m scared I’m going to mess up or make a bad impression on people. What do y’all suggest I do to become more sociable and better at interactions? I’m awful about awkward silences. Thanks!

Sorry I was late to the meeting, my jam came on Spotify and I had to let it finish

I'm an online movie hoarder. I have a sh*tload of movies and shows saved in my Netflix/HBO Max/Hulu/Amazon/Apple queue and I've maybe watched only a handful. Anyone else who does this?

Wife is addicted to cell phone. Games, social media .. the usual. Too the extent that she doesn’t get enough sleep which impacts her mood and makes her irritable. Any discussion leads to argument and “what about ..” blame games. Did anyone else deal with this ? How ?

For those that work 11-13 hour shifts regularly, how do you do it? Are you just numb at this point so it’s not hard for you anymore or ??? Please advise.

I can’t do it anymore. My husband never helps around the house. Ever. When we first started dating, he was so much more helpful as I think he was trying to impress me. Now it’s been FOUR YEARS of asking him to contribute more around the house by just picking up after himself and unloading the dishwasher when it’s done and he has time. Last night I finally had it - (Cont…)

0 motivation to work today! I am heading to the office now for the small talks!🚶‍♀️

I’m so glad we don’t have to:
1) race to the office to avoid being late
2) Having to wake early to shower, get dressed, have breakfast, fill the gas tank on the way
3) SIT in the chair for hours
4)drive home, grab groceries or dinner on the way

Whew, I don’t know how I survived this in hindsight. I’m SO grateful now I get to work from home and not have to shave my legs everyday, put on makeup, get my nails done, and NOT wearing bras. It’s the little things. That’s it. That’s my confession 😊

As a guy I've always found it weird how some guys ( a few on here as well) don't want women who make more than them. Is this actually common?

Dreading everyday now since a new person joined the project. All the talks about claiming they are experts, promising all fancy items with fancy words, criticizing what the team has already done. But leadership thinks this person is absolutely genius! What can I do
