Miss my ex 😩

I thought my friend was gay. Turns out he’s not. And now I think I have a crush on him. But I can’t get it out of my head that I thought he was gay! (I’m a woman btw)

Does anyone else get pressure from Parents/family to move back home?

Folks who are going to school this year - are ye planning on living with others or having your own place?

Thought would put this out there
43 M Persian/Syrian/East Indian Mutt - born and raised in East Africa.
Looking for a serious long term relationship - distance isn't an issue for now - willing to relocate/move. Looking to start a family (fur babies or adoptions are viable options) I know this bowl doesn't usually trend that way - but am thinking there maybe someone else out there that feels the same way.

Has anyone else’s husband just never really given them complements? My husband refuses to because he says it would make it meaningless when he says them (so he doesn’t say I look nice in case on the ~5 times he says it a year it would be ‘watered down’). I really struggle with it sometimes, and it’s also hard because he expects little affirmations from me (which I happily do anyway because I want him to feel loved)

Moved to the DC area about two years ago and have yet to establish myself friendwise. I usually tag along with my partner to all of his events as I’m traveling 5 days a week and have no forum. Any...

I had a crush on a girl. It's been almost 2 years since I confessed my feelings to her and today she told me that she likes me too.
The only issue is she's a Muslim and I'm a Hindu. She believes we don't have a future and that's why she took a long time to confess. She is confused on what to do and even I am confused because things will actually be difficult for obvious reasons.
Please advice on what we should do now.
Should we part ways or should we fight for it?

Like me, you have dated a million times and yet can’t seem to get it right. If you have ever wondered, whether in silence or out loud, “what’s wrong with me?”, this book is for you. I’ve heard a million times that communication is the key to a successful relationship. However, nobody taught me what effective communication is. How many conversations have I had in my head that lead to a conclusion without ever involving the other party? Countless! If this resonates, this book is for you.

I've decided it's impossible to try and get my immigrant father to understand what I do as a transactional in-house lawyer. Every conversation about work goes like this (cont)

How do you pursue a dream without getting a divorce?

My best friend is getting married. I’m very happy for her. But I’m also insanely jealous. She sent me pictures of her wedding dress and while I told her she looks amazing - I can’t stop crying. Her relationship was as long as my ex was cheating on me.

She’s asked me to be her maid of honor - but I want to turn it down so she doesn’t have to see me crying. I already broke down when she told me she was engaged. I was able to keep it together to help her now fiancée do something special.

How to overcome the pain of seeing someone you had feelings for get into a new relationship

Cousin reminded me that I can say the most righteous, fact or Bible-based message to another, but it’s a sounding gong / meaningless if I made them feel bad (was debating with a younger relative). So much truth to remember in our daily interactions with others. So much weight to practice from 1 Corinthians 13:1-2- If I speak in the tongues of men or angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. I

How introverted are you? EVERY time I’m around a group of people I wind up exhausted. It’s almost funny. I’ve learned to be present and I can handle the room, but when I leave…100% need a nap. It’s so predictable that I even share my calendar with SO. He schedules his WFH calls to avoid that hour after my in-person meetings. Smh. Is this weird??

Those who find happiness intrinsically, how do you do it? I’ve always sought things and people to be happy. I’ve been less happy after college and the pandemic doesn’t help. Growing up, our family constantly moved (3 continents, 4 countries) and it was always difficult to make friends. I can’t complain to people about this because then I sound like the privileged prick who gets to travel and lives a arguably good life. Sorry for the rant 😔

One of ex’s friends who is I met twice, has been in touch, him and his wife, like commenting on some of my posts occasionally (we are just fb friends and IG friends). I never saw them since. Then the friend texts asking if I am seeing someone and that he wants to set me up with someone. He felt awkward doing that, I thanked him for thinking of me, but then he said we all told your ex he is an idiot for letting you go and they asked my ex it they could still be touch with me and he said yes.

Has anyone here completed their divorce without lawyers? It’s amicable between both of us and we are agreeing of the separation of assets. Do I still need to get a lawyer or can I do this on my own?

Would you marry a friend to stay in the country if they offered you that opportunity?

A student of mine committed suicide this summer.. I am still struggling with her death. I feel like I don’t have the desire to help students because I couldn’t help her.

I'm not sure whether to send my kids to school, home school, hire or tutor or what. Tmes are so stressful.

Hey Folks,
Does UST provide any reimbursement for internet charges and claims ?
If yes , then how much max ?

Anyone have any advice on how to break into customer success? I've been a BDR for over 2 years now, and I've learned a lot from that role. My next step I feel is a CSM or CSA. I am more of a farmer than a hunter and I'm very customer-centric. I find my strengths are in CS but it seems like you need experience within CS to break into CS. Any tips or referrals? Thanks!

Soooo qtum main net was supposed to go live today right? What happened?

Why are town Hall meetings so impersonal? They are all about awards / the number of people hired. I know FCB health is large, but we never hear from people who aren’t Executives. Last town hall, when discussing inclusion efforts, there were no people of color represented and one of the 4 pillars of diversity was centered around our “reputation as an organization” (that really rubbed me the wrong way). At my last agency those conversations were always led by people of color from every level.

Did BCW NY just layoff it’s EA staff?! Seeing a bunch of these names on Connect and very upset that great people were let go!

So I went to Costco today specifically for the HotDog and then went straight to the gym and worked out for 2 hours! Should feel guilty or be proud of this?

Just finished a Vice documentary on “The Villages” in Florida. It suddenly hit me that the Boomer generation will be a statistical outlier when compared to previous and post generations. As a millennial I’ve come to grips that my family and I won’t have the same country and lifestyle my parents had. Holding 80% of the wealth has its benefits.

24M here. I’m in this weird place in life where I’m not really tempted to go out, I’m single, no dates, no girls I talk to, don’t go out with friends either. Life is pretty stagnant. Yes I could put myself out there and what not, but man this is getting boring. Anyone gone/going through a similar phase in life? How do I break this stagnant phase?

EPP texts me all the time and on the weekends. I think she wants to get in my pants.
Ugh

Never cared if the guys I talked to were “social butterflies”— I loved that about them. Last guy I talked to had a very good reputation amongst girls because of how extroverted he was and willing to help them. I found out later it was because he enjoyed flirting with them despite having a girlfriend & loved the attention. He would text them and keep in touch. I had to stop talking to him because I feared he would do this to me again if we started dating & now have trust issues. Hate this 😭

I signed a new lease in a management apartment building 2 months ago. My rent on paper is $3000. I logged into rentcafe yesterday and the building manager seems to have logged in my rent as $2700. I am not sure if it is a mistake and if I should notify her. The $300 bonus a month does sound nice but also don’t want to get into trouble? Thoughts?

Ladies, at what age did you get married and have kids? I’m not in a great spot in my relationship and I’m afraid of being too old and single with no kids. 26F.
