My 30th birthday today… celebrating in a totally new country (I’m on project assignment). Missing friends who are all far away, no bf, just broke up, taking a day off, mixed emotions… any advice ladies how do you handle your 30th? Appreciate it, and sending my birthday hug and cake slice 🍰 to everyone🤗

Happy birthday!!! You should go out and explore on your own if you can, maybe buy yourself a nice dinner or a spa day. You deserve to treat yourself!

Happy birthday! 🎉 I started reframing how I thought about my life when I turned 30 and never looked back. You’re extremely brave for starting a life in a new country and can have amazing new adventures that people back home haven’t had yet. You can craft a new life, find a new boyfriend, cultivate new friendships, etc etc. The possibilities and wide open spaces are endless and so exciting!

30th birthday milestone by far is the toughest because it’s the first truly independent milestone bday.
Tends to feel overwhelming and makes you evaluate all of your achievements and decisions extremely critically.
As someone who had celebrated a few more milestones I want to say - it just gets better and better. It’s not just the day but spend the whole year celebrating ( as corny as it may sound )
Happy birthday and yes, I’ll have a slice of cake for you ! 🤗

Do something self-indulgent just for you and plan a 30 “re-do” party when you are back with friends and family, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!

Feeling really sad about friends I have drifted apart from despite efforts to stay in touch. My best friend from high school and I haven’t seen each other in about 4 years, I messaged her a year ago, got a nice response from her, and I tried keeping the convo going but she left me on read. Offered her and her boyfriend tickets to join me and my boyfriend at a concert in fall 2019, left us on read with no response. Her bday was last week and she left my bday wishes on read too. I’m so sad.

The biggest thing I keep running and running around my head- after 8 months, why did he drop me? When he texted ending it l….it wasn’t me, like we weren’t us, his words were from someone else, like I didn’t matter. It doesn’t matter how much it wasn’t about me, how he chose to end it, and that’s what crushed me. Who I thought I knew was wrong. I want to know how close he was to loving me.

I am in a long distance relationship with someone who is currently in B school. He spends pretty much all his breaks and holidays traveling with his classmates. Most of the time I am fine. But for some important holidays and my birthday, I told him we should spend time together. He just said it’s more important for him to bond with his classmates and ignore my ask. It’s really disappointing and I don’t know what else to tell him. Is that a reasonable ask or am I being dramatic?

I know this isn’t a marriage therapy bowl, but my husband has a really terrible tendency of saying things like “you’re being really mean” and completely shutting down during a disagreement when i objectively am not being mean, just truthful or vocal about how i feel about something. It’s a really convenient argument for him because it enables him to either be the victim and me the villian, or forces me to concede my stance and not reach a true resolution. Any tips on dealing with the irrational?

My partner of 5 years ended our relationship last night. I’m shattered and feel absolutely sick, and I know the healing isn’t going to be easy. We were on the verge of an engagement and I was ready to spend the rest of my life with him.

I don’t know how to approach work during this time. I think I can get by, but I’m definitely not 100%. Should I talk to my boss about it? My team is close-knit and comfortable around each other, but I don’t know if it’s “appropriate.” What would you do?
