Asians can’t be gay? Is your manager also a parent of yours?

If you’re offended, talk to your manager about it. That’s a messed up comment. If the manager doesn’t take it seriously, report to HR.

Both straight up racist and sexist... do not let that slide.

Immediately say that you were offended. I had a SM who I got along well with but was honestly super thick and privileged when it came to these things. She literally said “why isn’t there a straight people’s parade” and I shut it down. She actually felt bad as she didn’t realize it was offensive and thought she was an “advocate”. I don’t think I would’ve reported it to HR given my close relationship with her but a conversation helps shine the light / expose prejudice when people don’t realize!

At my uncles wedding in Madrid I remember lying down on the grass in the courtyard after their first dance and crying, my Dad came and saw me, laid down in his suit beside me and asked what was wrong.

“I know my boyfriend wouldn’t dance with me like that at our wedding”

And we just lay there as I cried, and then got up. Had a drink.

Said boyfriend left years ago, and now I have a wonderful man who just asked me what type of dance lessons I want for our wedding next year.

Don’t give up.

As holidays come around, the family has upped their questions about when we are having kids and why we haven’t yet.

How have you combated your fear of rejection? I fixate on such small things as when my friends, for example, reject plans I have made. This definitely makes me more averse to putting myself out there and makes me ruminate on past perceived failures, which are clearly not good for personal growth

My SO adds very little to our relationship. She has a dead end job. I cook. I work. I oversee finances. I plan trips. She doesn’t have a voice in the relationship. I’ve asked her to give her perspective but she always defaults to mine bc she thinks I’m smarter/worldly. She feels intimated by me and my social circle. Lately, I’ve found myself thinking for her. Anticipating her wants and needs and then adjusting my behavior to meet them. Which she appreciates but it’s frustrating 29M 27F

Just got let go and my manager said part of it was because I was looking for other jobs. I didn't look for other jobs at work, so I'm not sure how they could have known that unless a coworker snitched on me. Is it worth it to try and find out who or should I just leave it? Can't deny that I'm seriously pissed off about it.
