My friend who is a 24 year old woman dating a 40 year old guy and she thinks he is the one and asking for my advice if the age difference might be an issue in the future. I am not able to get my head around the fact that he graduated from the university when she barely started her kindergarten. On the other hand, I don’t have heart to tell her to leave him and find someone younger because she genuinely seems happy with this guy. Any advice how I can handle this situation?

For context, my wife, once she’s done with maternity leave, will only work 25-30 hours a week. I know working in public and having a new born is probably going to be a lot to juggle, but I have to make it work.

A long post: seeking some perspective. My husband of 2 years that I’ve been in a relationship with for more than 8 years just woke up one day and told me that he’s unhappy in our relationship. I’m devastated because he’s never expressed anything like this in the 8 years. He’s been super supportive and loving, even when we were in a long distance relationship. He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>

Just found out that my favorite aunt, who claimed I was her “favorite” niece, chose to leave all her valuables to her other two nieces who never visited or called her once in the last ten years. My aunt passed away suffering from cancer last year and didn’t have her own kids. I was there by her side throughout her battle. I still wish I had done more, made her life easier. I probably sound petty, but a part of me is forcing me to re-evaluate every interaction I ever had with her.

I’m in the middle of moving by myself. I’m job hunting, because I lost my last one. My relationship has basically imploded.
