My boyfriend just came out to his mom and she’s been horrible to him... he’s no longer allowed to go home... I’m traveling for work. I want to be there for him. Any partners with advice?

I'm not a partner, but I can tell you that no part of this job is worth not being with your boyfriend when he needs you the most. I'd tell my team I have an emergency, and fly back home in a heartbeat.

Being straight, I can't even imagine the strength it took for him to say that knowing they would react that way. His parents are horrible people. I hope all works out OP.

Sorry to hear that SM. Unless you’re working on a “do or die” client pitch / immediate filing deadline I’d seriously consider flying home and being with him

This is a defining moment for your relationship. I hope you can make arrangements to spend more time with him during this time of need. If they can’t be made, hopefully your bf understands that... but you will need to be there for him in creative ways... sending flowers, his favorite candy, a puppy... cherish the time you have together.

The other thing is that this will be exhausting for you because going home will mean that you will not be able to recharge... find something for yourself when you can. A massage or meditation time alone.

Good luck. ❤️

I dated my ex for about 4 years and before we broke up we had moved in together. We lived together for about 6 months before breaking up. I kept the apartment and she moved out.

I’m just not sure if I should tell her about it, or wait for it to come up in conversation

My fiancé will NOT stop talking about her ex. After I found out they were texting arguing she justified it by saying it was about the dogs and not them.

I try to bring it up and I get dismantled for being too mean and making “false accusations.” How much more obvious can it be?

Any tips for organizing a bedroom, closet, dresser & bathroom? My teen has IADHD, and low executive functioning. Her room looks like a land mine.

A therapist said to close her door if we don’t want to see it but it’s more than that. She needs this important life skill & I don’t know how to help. Easier to organize w/o her but that’s not a solution.
