Ladies do you ever just meet someone and are so compatible and you have discussed everything from finances to kids to other scenarios and how they would handle them? But then 2 months later they tell you their feelings fluctuate? 🙃 I can’t seem to make sense of it when almost everything was so perfect. Just venting bc my heart is a little sad about this goodbye.

Sometimes guys just say that stuff to get with you. Or they mean it but aren't mature enough for a real relationship and then leave you hanging. Sorry OP, hang in there.

I'm a first yr attorney at an insurance firm and am in the process of interviewing for an in-house position at a tech company. The position is pretty much generalist, but I get the impression I'd be working mostly on SaaS and partnership transactions. I definitely think I would like the transactional work better, but I am concerned about the long-term earning potential vs. partnership. How common is it to eventually make $350k+ in-house/how difficult is it to transition back to a firm? Thanks!

Ok so. I have been on this journey for almost a year now to try and 'get to know and love myself' and I'm not there yet. I separated from my ex in March of 2020 and divorce was finalized in October 2020. I'm still sad, lost, angry etc. I'm trying/tried therapy, meditation, ayurveda, self help videos, books, but I'm not happy with myself and I don't think I know myself. I want to be happy alone before I meet anyone new. Any tips or advice on how I can effectively accomplish this? Thank you!

TIA!
