My gf mentioned that I am too mechanical during the act. Tips to better things?

Partners , where do you typically get your suits from these days ?

I'm interviewing for Sr Product Design positions & each interview is 30 minutes to share 2 case studies. With only 12 min/case study (I eat up some time introducing myself & setting up the work), does anyone have advice on what to make sure I show? It's so hard to hit all the points they I'm trying to hit: problem definition through user research, wireframes, design exploration, usability tests, prototypes, final designs, red lines, engineering handoff, KPIs. Any advice or examples?

Need urgent advice.
I have an offer from Capgemini that I am holding for almost 3 months and serving notice period in my current company. Now I have better offer from LTI. Capgemini is now asking for LTI offer letter to see if they can match this new offer.
Can I share the LTI offer letter with Capgemini? I have just 2 days left in my Notice period.

Kind of a random question, but does anyone have any advice on dealing with someone with borderline personality disorder?

Any tips and tricks for networking and interviewing for VC associate roles after a few years in consulting (after PhD)?

Has anyone here used Find Femmes or any similar dating service to find more feminine women? I’m femme4femme and am interested in something like this bc I don’t see many femmes on dating apps

What’s going on with all the shootings? I’m afraid to step out even to go grocery shopping. 30+ shootings this weekend?

How do you make this job more bearable?

What’s a good, practical tax book to read for someone who knows nothing about taxes? I feel like I should familiarize myself with them but don’t know where to start/find the topic very overwhelming and dense even as a finance attorney. Welcome to other beginning finance book suggestions too! (Already read Kiyosaki and Ramsey)

Anyone got an update from Seyfarth regarding the 1st lottery’s result?

What are you thoughts on living in the "burbs" (Burlington, Lexington, Winchester) and commuting to downtown Boston? For context, 27 yo male working in consulting.

Anyone know of any tech jobs out there that seem complex? Ones that someone can do with zero schooling but lots of experience behind them?

3 reasons my husband is ready to be a dad, even though he’s never changed a diaper.

1. His text is so big on his phone you can see it 2 rows back and across the aisle on the plane
2. He yells at the tv analysts on cable news
3. He laughs at and makes corny jokes

Here we go, 24 weeks and counting!

Soon I will be working on designing a shared home office for my husband and me. Any ideas for the best kind of set up for this? For context, I work from home and he does not, but he is also an attorney who needs a desk and space to be able to work from home when needed. Thoughts on two separate desks facing each other, on separate walls, along a single wall? The only thing that I think would be a little weird is if we were back to back, in case of my video calls for work

What’s the weirdest thing you’ve done while working from home?

Partners of Fishbowl. What’s the first thing that comes to your mind when you’re evaluating people for promotions?

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?

How long do you cry after breakup? I cried for one night, and felt weird day after. Now I feel like I am way better, maybe it was because I know it had to happen (even if I was the one who got broken up with) and probably I see that more than hurt of relationship ending

My boyfriend and I already live together (I moved into his 1BR apartment this year), and we’re excited to get a new place together in early 2023. Any practical tips on how to decide what furniture to keep vs. replace? We’re still renting, so I’m inclined to just keep what we have. What pieces are worth buying new now vs. holding off until we have a more permanent place?

Shoutout to this bowl for generally helping people when in need! This bowl has been a great positive to me, and I thank you!

Got out of a toxic relationship that I KNOW was toxic but my heart is still heavy and I want him back. Did anyone experience this? How did you overcome it?

What's the best relationship advice you've heard recently?

Hey everyone, looking for advice. Thinking about taking the next step in my relationship 🙂. Thinking about buying a ring. Thoughts on lab grown vs earth diamonds and places to buy in DC. TIA!

My GF has trouble standing up for herself. She's on client travel and one of her co-workers made her really upset (very uncalled for and should have never happened). She called me crying. After consoling her I told her that she needs to go to her manager and possibly HR (yes it's to that level).
She told me she can't and she's not that person (she thinks she'll get the other person fired). She knows that she should and hates that she doesn't stand up for herself. What can I do to help?

How do you get over the fact that your
bf (who is super active on social media
and USED to post you without you
asking) just never does it anymore?
You don't suspect him of cheating or
anything like that, he just doesn't think
to do it anymore. I don't want our
fights to be around social media, and
honestly am embarrassed even typing
out this post, but it’s been on my mind lately.

I moved to the US with wife from abroad a few months ago. We had a pretty great life filled with parties and friends. Now I feel like the grind is killing our passion. Any ideas...

If someone said (over text) “happy thanksgiving to and for you” what would you think they meant? To be clear the intent was “Happy Thanksgiving to you” as a greeting and “happy Thanksgiving for you” as in, I am giving thanks for you.

I can’t live with my spouse anymore and I think the feeling is mutual. We have kids (<10yrs) and I would hate to not be able to see them everyday. I’m afraid of the negative impact on the kids of this separation/divorce. Long term I don’t know what the solution is. Any advice would be appreciated. I feel like the biggest failure in the world.

I’d like to preface this post with saying I was in a very toxic relationship previously. I went to therapy, healed myself, and now feel I have found someone very healthy. He self reflects, he listens, he’s present, he makes me feel heard (mostly). With all that said, I can’t stop feeling like he’s only giving me the bare minimum. I do a lot of the small things, make sure I’m hitting all his love languages daily, and I keep feeling like he thinks he’s doing everything to keep me happy, but

what are the biggest red flags in a distance relationship? I would say being spotty on communication is the biggest one for me.

What does this phrase mean when women say "I want a man who wants to build with a woman?"

what age did you get married?

Grass is Greener on The Other Side Syndrome - Advice Needed

I’m a 24 year old man with a 27 year old gf, have been dating a year and a half and we live together since January (in a house I own alone).

This will sound obnoxious but is the heart of the issue. I am very intelligent and always have been growing up (skipped years in school, currently doing my second part time masters and have been a straight A student my whole life). I am also a very high performer in work with high aspirations…

I thought that this space was for search a relationship 😅🤣😅🤣😅

Where are single men looking for single ladies these days? Tinder/hinge and other swipe apps seems to be flooded by onlyfan-ers which is fine (you do you boo) but not something i am looking for in a potential partner.

At this moment, I am almost depressed. I am in a relationship with this guy for 2 years now. In the past 2 years, we have fought more than we have lived days with peace. We both have high ego problems because of which it’s really hard to resolve a conflict. Things have recently escalated to calling names/swearing and even physically abuse from both sides. We both want to end the relationship, have tried so many times, but we cannot.
