My girlfriend: *starts joking about something dumb she did* Me: *starts joking along and laughing about it with*. Her: “how could you do this to me?”

Does anyone feel bad seeing friends when you’re job hunting? Just feel like I don’t deserve a dinner out and will feel bad comparing myself since they are all doing fine.

Hi Chicago - just moved here from the UK (via 7 years in Germany) and looking to make some great new friends.

Moved to River North and into trivia nights, most sports, movies etc and would love to find some people open to adding a city newbie to the group!

42m if that matters 🤷🏻‍♂️😁

During family prayer - my mom takes nearly 40 minutes every single time (this is 2x a day, morning and night). She speaks a different language and I barely understand. How can I lovingly tell her to take less time?

I just started a new job and am about to be 36. I want to start a family but I feel like I should be waiting due to this new job. However I don’t want to miss out. I’m thinking about freezing my eggs

Has anyone else told their religious parents that they were moving in with an SO before marriage? I did, it didn’t go super well- they disapprove of it (cont)

Someone told me that if you make a list of the things you wish they’d said, you can think of what your values are in a relationship and the communication you’d want from a future partner. What are some of yours? Here are mine:

You have a beautiful soul.
I was wrong.
You are amazing.
I’m ready to go to therapy, and I scheduled us an appointment.
I wish I never left, not once.
You mean the world to me.
I will help you with anything you want.
I will always be there for you when you need me.

Moving to Philly Nov 1, just signed a lease in Queen Village. Coming from LA where I was part of a volleyball group and had a lot of options at the beach. Suggestions on making friends and being active (while still being respectful of covid rules & health of all)? 36 F

I need friends. Feel lonely when everyone else is partying up.

Only for men:

How do you deal with a best friend breakup?

I know friendship breakups between men are not talked about openly, but I had to.

Best friend was a Male too

I think I want to be in relationship, but I fear that I actually am just lonely and not actually ready for relationship.
I desperatly want someone that I can spend time with, laugh with, and tell good news to amongst so much else.
I don't know what to do or if anything can be done...

Thoughts anyone?

Best divorce lawyer in NYC?

Made an appointment with my therapist to talk through the issues in my relationship. Coronavirus has been rough on us

Spent the pandemic working on myself, got sober, focused on working out, left the music industry and started a career where I can make money and have a steady work schedule. Maybe this isn’t everyone’s version of “growing up” but that’s what this was for me. Now that I’m vaxed and seeing my friends, it’s clear we have little left in common, and honestly a lot of the things they do straight up embarrasses me. I don’t want to lose these long term friends. Has anyone else been in this situation?

Has anyone here completed their divorce without lawyers? It’s amicable between both of us and we are agreeing of the separation of assets. Do I still need to get a lawyer or can I do this on my own?

AITA? If my SO of 1 year wants to get a dog, do I get an opinion? We don’t live together

So we will be shut down for a while. What are some things you will send home or do for Preschoolers during the sit down?

I just came home sobbing because I got too drunk at my female best friends house and her husbands male friend tried to take advantage of me when we were left alone in a hot tub. My boyfriend didn’t ask if I was okay but instead screamed at me, threw things and left the house. Dumping him is the only logical answer?? Am I crazy?

Have you ever been or currently in a relationship with someone of who’s political beliefs conflict with your own?

Not dealing with this currently have dealt with it in the past. My parents started out opposites but now believe similarly. I’m wondering if it is possible in this day and age.

Anyone here 40s never married, no kids?

I used to see people who didn't care about current events or politics as intellectually lazy and irresponsible.

However, I feel burnt out on the constant stream of divisive bickering and toxicity.

It feels like ideas don't matter and pragmatism has become a dirty word for both sides.

For the first time in my life, I don't want to know what's happening in the world and I don't care who wins.

Apathy feels good right now.

New to this....best place to buy a Rolex submariner for under 9k online. Also, really like the look of the Rolex explorer II, but have always wanted a sub. Any thoughts or recommendations on submariner or explorer II?

Hi WBS (watch bowl savants), I’d like to start a dialogue on how we can effectively use this forum for buying and selling.

Or if you’d prefer we keep this sales free.

I want to buy a Rolex. How does one go about doing this nowadays? Do I need to email an AD to tell them exactly what I want and then wait a couple months? This will be my first nice watch.

OMEGA INCREASED THEIR PRICES OH NOOOOOOOOOO

Looking to start a side hustle on Etsy selling handmade crafts. Where can I purchase cheap shipping supplies? e.g. packaging and box, bubble wraps, etc.

So I've been waitlisted for a BCG R1 interview and was wondering if there was anything at all that I could do to improve my chances of getting off the waitlist?? Don't have any offers to leverage...but did get an R1 from McK

Worked a few years at a small company and wondering what it actually takes to make the big jump to MBB. Anyone willing to connect and share insights?

I overslept and just woke up 🥲 oops

I don’t feel sorry for FAANG / Big tech workers They ll be ok right ? Haha

Sometimes I walk around my house calling my dogs name, pretending I don’t see him, even though he’s right there on the couch. I walk around “searching” for him. It makes me happy because my dog then tries to cuddle and jump on me as if to show me “hooman, what’s wrong with your eyes? Is I invisible?”

What are your biggest red flags when dating someone new?

I think I may have made a huge mistake today. My skip level director sent out an email about something and asked us for feedback. I sent back a note and provided some. One of the things I said was that our job satisfaction might be improved if we could do more of X kind of work instead of Y kind of work that we do so much of in our group. The next thing I know, I get a ping from his EA to set up time for me to chat with him and my director tomorrow. I am getting in trouble tomorrow, right?

I peed in the ocean twice today at the beach 🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫

I don't get how people can be so lax about getting covid. Like whenever I talk to those "I'm YoUnG aNd HeALtHy" people they say it'll just be a cold, but I have a cold right now and I'm miserable 🤒 like do people like getting sick?

I’ve never worked at a firm, only public interest and have no idea how to do billable hours.

Make gwap and pine tings

What is your coffee cut off time?

What do you wish on your ex?

I thought that the occasional visits from the recently divorced single mother that moved in down the hall was the best thing that ever happened to me. I was wrong, getting that mouse jiggler is the best thing that ever happened to me.

I rearrange my home office several times a year. Idk why but every 4 months I need to change it up. Anyone else do this?

Every night for like the past month I’ve been getting incredibly emotional about adulthood. I miss the lack of responsibility, the simplicity of life, friends were always around, and less pressure to be successful.

I’m 3 years out of college now so it’s not like I just started doing this stuff, but I am feeling the exact same feeling as I did when I first started work and just wanted to be back in college. I know I just need to grow up and accept that’s how life is but it’s incredibly upsetting

I'm not hearing enough about Miya Marcano from the media

Minor confession

I hate when I respond to a post and people keep responding to it by NOT “replying” but adding another comment. 🤡

What was your worst day at work like?
I’ll go first: I had a long night, didn’t charge my phone, phone died and I woke up 5 hours past my usual alarm… missed two important meetings, I was supposed to lead one of them 🥸
