Lately I’ve been crushing on my sister in law. I think she’s been especially touchy lately (not in directly flirty way most of the time, but occasionally is, esp when she’s had a drink) and not sure what to do. She’s more physically attractive than my wife, even though I of course find my wife more attractive overall. I don’t think either of us would ever act on it - just looking for some advice on how to deal with these feelings because I can’t be the only one who’s ever experienced this.

A crush is a normal, human thing. But that’s where it should stop..just the crush. If you’re married I’d say never act on it, and especially not if it’s a family member. If you’re unhappy in your marriage then maybe do some soul searching to find out why. Plan some nights out with your wife or a weekend getaway? Put some distance between you and SIL.

I deeply miss my ex. The breakup was initiated by me 5 years ago because I was scared to commit. Since then, I’ve gotten married and have a daughter. I’m so embarrassed to admit it but I think about my ex everyday. I am so sad that I walked away from him. Life is ok now - I’m thankful for my family but my heart hurts. How do I move on?

Well, I was the one who broke it off. I couldn’t get him to love me the way I needed or even respect me enough. It’s been 6 weeks of not seeing each other. We messaged this week. He doesn’t get it…. His messages show he still doesn’t know what he wants. Yet, if I am totally honest, I hate how part of me wishes he would do a grand gesture/finally decide to be a better man. It’s delusional. It’s crazy how love can be so rosy, sweet & blinding that the red flags seem surmountable.

Dad passed away 2 months ago. I traveled to India and stayed for 2 months, dealt with significant red tape to close his cards, loans, transfer pensions, etc. A succession certificate is WIP for one of his accounts, so mom decided to stay back until it’s done. Mom has always refused to hire a maid, loves to hoard, cleans superficially, the house is always a mess when I visit and all my India trips are spent cleaning including this one. I’ve fought with her a ton over the last two months as well..

Stupid Question- We have been thinking for IVF and trying to understand with this process, is there any difference in the health and life of the child as compared to a child born without IVF.

This is not very old technology and not much studies as well.
