Is it weird that I feel ready to have children as a 23 year old?
Pissed at my ex gf’s homophobic parents who are the reason for making our relationship hell by forcing her to get married to dudes they bring from a matrimonial website and for her to break up with me.

Anybody tried Ginger or therapy through texting? Would love to know your thoughts. I can see it being neat since I tend to express my feelings and thoughts better in writing. I also tend to downplay how I really feel in person with a friend but less so when I’m texting them my feelings. But worried about the quality of therapists and my words actually being saved in my files, amongst other things.
Anyone else in the bowl move here from the US? Want to be friends? Lol I am still new
Really wish my parents would’ve healed/addressed their toxicity BEFORE choosing to birth me into this world and enmesh me in their lifelong dysfunction. To the current and future parents: please do your offspring a favor and consider the trauma you will introduce by ignoring your mental health and overall needs. Spare your children the anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief cycling…please. I beg of you 🙏
I'm a working mother currently on maternity leave for 2nd kid. I've been able to perform well these days but in reality it feels so difficult to keep up. My family cares about my husband's career and expects me to be supportive of his frustrations but I'm right here slowing down my own career growth which could be a lot better with at least some moral support. My tech stack is cloud, Devops and he is into teaching. I feel low trying to have WLB like fighting alone.
On my way to my third session with my new therapist. I think after this one is when I’ll decide if I’m going to move forward with her. Anyone else have trouble finding the right fit?
Looking for some perspective: we just got a brand new $2,000 glass top 78" dining table. I asked my husband to please use a table cloth when he uses that table for d&d with his friends to avoid scratches and the loud dice on the table. He got upset that I "don't let him enjoy our stuff," that I "hate the sound of him having fun," and he says I am being unreasonable. From my perspective, I just want to preserve this expensive piece of furniture that we both love. Am I being unreasonable?
I am a brand new mom in the Milton/Alpharetta area and I’m wondering how other moms navigated meeting new mom friends? I would love to find a good group (or just a few random) girlfriends - they don’t even have to be moms, but in this season of life, it feels like that might be the most natural connector. All suggestions welcome! If there are specific groups/activities you recommend, that would be super helpful.
My husband repeatedly claims domestic abuse falsely, and it’s getting too much. Now that I have kids he has started saying this to them and they say it back to me. I think he does this because he wants custody of kids or an upper hand when it comes to finances if we end up divorcing. Any ideas on how to handle this
My parents might be getting divorced. My mom depends financially on my father, if they divorce the financial responsibility falls on me, I currently live with a roommate and don’t make enough to live alone so I don’t know what I’m going to do. My mom never had a job, doesn’t speak English or know how to drive. I’m in my mid 20s and about to become a caretaker. Has anyone gone through something similar?

Any other single big law associates who wish they had a significant other? After a long day of exasperating work, I feel like it would be nice to have someone to chill and unwind with, especially during WFH where my days are already so solitary. Anyone else feel the same, or are you glad you don’t have to deal with another person after a long day?
Are you still connected to your business school alumni? I'm beating myself up for not keeping up with them but I had a horrible experience with discrimination at my school so I just wanted to cut all ties. But them boys making money now lol

I felt like a walking zombie during thanksgiving, barely eating and barely talking. My family is small and I told them ahead of time my relationship ended. I focused on my niece and nephews, cried when I wanted to and slept from 8pm-noon for the last 5 days. Showered once or twice. That’s the best I could do and that’s OK right now. I’m back in my apartment, just trying to take it one day at a time, and not re read his texts too much. My birthday is Thursday 🙄
I have realized I only wish for a boyfriend to when things are not normal for me (e.g. when I’m sick, need to fix something in home etc.) This means I don’t really want one, right?

I am thinking of tutoring- any suggestions on private tutoring vs. tutoring companies?

Got ghosted by a guy I was talking to for 4 months who also told me he loved me. Completely confused and totally discouraged from dating now, can’t trust anyone smh.
Is going on a "break" worth it? And for how long?Feeling like I need a reset to figure out if I'm with the right person.

My closest friend of 15 years told me she's been in love with me for several years. I don't know what to do. She's my closest friend. We talk about everything under the sun. I don't want to lose her. I could feel the pain in her voice as she told me this. She already knows she's just a friend to me. I'm serious about my girlfriend and we've discussed getting married. Is there anything I can do to lessen her pain and preserve the friendship?
Moving in together?I am 28m and my GF is a couple years younger. Her lease is up around the time of our 2yr anniversary (in a few months) she wants to move in with me when her lease ends, but I am not ready. Does me not being ready mean anything? Or do y’all feel like it is okay to wait longer to move in together??
F here. I’ve had trouble in relationships because idk how to fight healthily. I’ve been going to therapy for it but I’m struggling atm because my boyfriend who I love so much, I’ve brought to his breaking point with my anxiety fueled approach. I don’t blame him. A lot of this stems from watching my parents & their toxic fights. I want to change not only for myself but for him, because I believe he is worth changing for. But has anyone ever gone through this & made it out better?
What’s the silliest reason you’ve refused to date someone? I went on a first date with a guy, he’s so sweet but he has bad dentition. It really bothers me but that’s the only issue currently.
Reading Untamed by Glennon Doyle and I want my own Abby!!! Sigh.....
Amid covid (2 years ago) I got into a paternalistic/white knight kind of relationship. Basically made SO leave her country to escape from a terrible situation, we weren't official at the time, and I expected things to go a lot more smoothly that they went, love turned more into a protective feeling, however now that I'm changing jobs and in a position where I finally feel like getting the recognition and pay that I deserve I have started to feel a little trapped in my relationship, (Continue)
I dumped my gf of 1 yr bcz I started to feel less attracted to her. Plus all my fam ws also telling me that we look good as a couple.If I didn’t dump her, next step would hv been marriage. cntd.
