Married LGBT 🐟, what did you do with your last names? My boyfriend and I are discussing and trying to figure out if we want to hyphenate, take one, keep ours the same, or merge. Thoughts?

Hi Everyone, I need your opinion.
I met a girl 2 months into my 6month exchange in NYC. I enjoyed her company and we had fun together. She is really busy (IB) but we made time for each other. so it was late night and weekend hangout. When i was leaving to my home country in UK, we said we would try to make it work. Now that i am home, it has become difficult. I have lots of friends (girls), therefore i am always with them when not working, and she doesn't like it much as my ex is among (TBC)

How does everyone bill for family law matters? Do you always bill hourly or is there some flat fee, monthly or quarterly fee structure that could work, even in contested matters? I have cases that the clients end up spending $20-$40,000 on a contested divorce and this is really out of their budget. I feel that if my firm could charge a flat fee of $10-$15,000, it would still be beneficial from a client predictability and volume standpoint and would generate more referrals.

What do I get paid the most by doing the least? My wife and I are planning to have kids in the next year or so and I want to be readily available during and after her pregnancy

Desi folks! Why do you let your parents manage your profile on the websites? It’s so uncomfortable when you get a call at 4 am saying “beta, we like your profile.” 🤷🏽‍♂️

What do you do about your house plants if both you and your SO are out of the house for an extended period? I could move some of the smaller ones to friends, but there are planters that are attached to balcony and patio. Any ideas 🐠?

When I started in this industry, it was all about radio and direct mail. Now, most are doing video content and influencer marketing. What do you think our children will be influenced by?

35F divorced with a kid. I think I will never get remarried or in a serious relationship again. Lots of men don't like dating women with children. At my age either the guys are past their prime, divorced/ing and have to provide half their income to their first wife. Many with kids live on the same street as their ex wives so they can be close to their child. I'm not comfortable dating guys like that. On the flip side there are the ones that were never married, which by this age cont

Does anyone manage without having a nanny? Kids age 0-10

I cringe when I'm at a friend's house and they answer their phone, find out it's a telemarketer, and just hang up on them. It's so rude. They know I have to cold-call people at my job and you'd think they would at least act like they were more respectful of the job.

Dating someone im crazy about. Only downside we have different priorities. She is party/friends focused while I would rather family time, time w her, or doing hobbies. Any tips? Should I give it time?

Can you have a nanny while in h1b and pay taxes ?

I guess I'll try my luck out... Isn't the ideal thing to have the passion and romance of teenagers, but with the maturity and experience of adults? Hopefully I could find someone here that has that mindset.

Has anyone been in a relationship while BF/GF was studying for CFA? How was it? My BF wants to take a break until his test is over in June so wondering if his level of stress is normal?!

My wife finally told me last night that she didn't know what I do last night ( I'm a securities lawyer) but she didn't want to sound stupid. Its been 5 years.

Age old question…. Can women and men be friends?

This is the only bowl I can think to post in, but I'm really feeling it today. Has anyone lost their best friend (i.e. through time/growing up) and feel like none of their current friends could live up to the fun/connection you used to have with your high school BFF? I feel like I put too much focus on that one friend and also my boyfriend and just never actually made time for anyone else. I fucked myself over.

Girlfriend has very obvious high functioning anxiety and body image issues that she admits but thinks she doesn’t need therapy or medication and that reading self-help books will help her. It’s not changing in the last several years and it’s impacting our relationship. Anyone have experience with their SO dealing with untreated anxiety? I know I can’t control her but would like to express my feelings without sending her into a spiral. For context, I’ve been in therapy for 12 months and medicated

Has anyone else talked to a doctor about stress while trying to conceive? I’ve been having a really hard time wanting a baby for the way my husband and I have been arguing or talking to each other. I think we should go to counseling. I know I love him and I know he loves me- there’s just so much animosity so much anxiety around discussions. Do you think our anxiety or tension is because we have not been able to conceive?

Going back to work next month. Have a full time nanny but feel like even that isnt enough. I work all sorts of timezones. Europe has my morning, Asia has my evening. Nanny 9-5? 7-3? 10-6? No clue what will work best and don’t want to be inconsistent with her. Any advice on the return?

How much bonus does an L6 in tech consulting get ?

Hi friends, I am initially trained on .net and angular in my company and then randomly put to Automation Testing in project. Also they are not relieving me from the current project . Can I apply for other companies with my knowledge of .net and angular? YOE- 2 years.

Any one from corteva project? Please DM or comment

Any Accenture and slalom fish know what I can expect coming into either with 4 yrs of experience into the salesforce practice?

Hey y'all, kind of a two part question:
1. I enjoy the people management more than individual contributor stuff. What career paths do you see in our industry for people who are managing support engineering teams?
2. What certifications are valued today? Seems like being a AWS Cloud Practitioner is a good general one, but are there others that stand out?

Should I transition to a tech sales job? Thoughts on risk vs reward? I am 34 yo, married with a baby incoming. I work at Google Cloud in solutions engineering (I help develop quantitative business cases with sales teams for customers). My cash base + bonus is $220k (going to ignore equity). I have an MBA from the University of Chicago, not that it matters much in sales. I have always been in a consulting role but I think I can make more in sales. I have a competitive personality and I am bored.

Any recommendations for learning Mulesoft? I used it a bit a few years ago, but I don't remember much. How much has it changed since being bought by SF?

Happy LA Pride!

What’s up my queer fam! I’m posting to you guys because I’m 27 I just moved to Miami from Philly and I came out today for the first time to one of my fraternity bro from penn state, who also happens to be gay, coming out a year or so after graduating. But anyway, it felt really good telling someone and also just finally admitting to myself to the first time that ya im a gay man. Idk it’s still weird to say but it feels good. But here’s my issue now. I feel like guys when they come out they’ll

Overseas on a study and finding a hot expat to help me with some in-room dining.. sometimes we get food. This job is alright sometimes

Gay man who works in a large org that is big on diversity and inclusion efforts. I’d say about 50-60% of people (at all levels, across all age groups and races) list their gender pronouns in email signature. I list mine because I see it as a way to show support for colleagues who may not be cisgender. If anyone else works in the same type of environment, do you infer anything about colleagues who choose not to list their gender pronouns? (such as they are homo/trans phobic?)

I could be your next husband. Slide in my DMs to find out.

Thoughts on the term “latinx?” I see A LOT of straight “Latinos” reacting poorly to it.

Has anyone been with someone with a really small one? What was your experience like? I recently started seeing someone with the tiniest one I’ve ever seen (like an inch). I’m ok with it, but he’s clearly insecure and I want to be understanding

Anyone ever had a relationship with a significant age gap (20+ years)? Queer women in particular, but interested in any experiences. Definitely not a sugar mama dynamic.

Ryan Murphy is the new Aaron Spelling. Big rich producer making money off of cheesy shlock. I guess you can’t take the Indiana out of the boy. Heart’s in the right place though. Bless his heart.

Let’s move out of NYC SF together lol . Maybe try LA ?

Alright I’m calling it on my career at the ripe age of 28. Who needs a handsome house husband

I love when randomly talking to a straight man and they out of nowhere say “I have a girlfriend” all shaky and nervous. It gives DL guys in sweatpants tease and that I’m doing something right 😂

There’s this guy at work I really like. We’re really really good friends but I’ve caught feels since the day I met him and I just want to tell him how I feel but I don’t want to ruin our great friendship. He’s the closest friend I have.

Single 24 year old here. Recently joined Hinge. I am barely getting any activity. I'm a former OKCupid user and I always got something there. Do people not use Hinge or is there something wrong with me? I'm a fit average height guy and I am not ugly. Looking for LTR especially now in the time of Corona. Didn't bother with human interaction before tbh but this loneliness is creeping up. 😔

I’ve been dating a guy who’s in the process of separating from his husband. I’ve found it emotionally difficult that he is not available as much as would be expected - he has to sleep at home most nights, we can’t really have a social life together yet, our weekend time together is weaved in around his family obligations (they have a child), etc. How do I tell whether I’m being unreasonable or whether I’m in an unhealthy situation?

where my gay ladies at 🙋‍♀️
