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. ❤️

At what point do you talk to the partners at a small firm when you’re looking for other positions. I love the people at my firm, and I’m close with them— but I’ll eventually be leaving to be closer to my s/o. They’ve historically taken things VERY personally when people leave, and I’m trying to avoid hurt feelings (or getting let go before I have something else lined up). Send help plz.

Has anyone quit their job because of a relationship? I started my job 3 months ago and now my employer wants me to move to NY. The thing is, I fell in love during the pandemic with a friend that I have known for 3 years. It's frustrating since I know I could continue my job from home. I would honestly quit my job and wouldn't mind the job search again.

Confession: The only in-law that I had a great relationship with passed away unexpectedly. The two remaining in-laws were on thin ice with me prior due to years of drama, nagging, and disgusting display of wealth. I believe their demand of money and general assholish behavior drove in law to his death. I love my S.O. but I can’t deal with the drama anymore.

I want to have a family and a future that is drama-free and full of love and don’t want to surround myself with negativity.

My marriage is struggling and we have to pack up the kids and fake it till we make it with my in laws for most of their Christmas break. I don't want a divorce but things are not good, and it's hard to pretend they are even in front of the kids. Looking for advice I guess, or just a kind word. Really don't want the in-laws finding out and trying to put their two cents in, and neither does she.
