My girlfriend treats me like a Furby.

I am wanting to start the adoption process. I reached out to pathways to parenthood for information first from my personal email. I got a response within 30 min asking me to email them back from my work email. I did so and it has now been 3 days with no response. Is there any other way of contacting them?

Has anyone dealt with coming to terms with an emotionally abusive relationship? I struggle to admit this (because more drastic examples come to mind), but my therapist mentioned that things like yelling/throwing things/blocking me from leaving the room are also abusive traits my ex demonstrated. It makes me feel alienated from myself — like “how could I have allowed myself to be treated like that?”. Also feeling ashamed to tell anyone

I used my exes name with some numbers as password for many things.... Its a bitch. Especially when you break up lmao
Don't use your significant other name for passwords

26M been dating my girlfriend for the past 7 years. She’s basically the only person I’ve had a romantic relationship with. We just moved in together and I’m not really liking it - I feel like I’m “domesticated” and have less freedom. I’m not looking forward to the future. Instead, I’m looking back wondering “what if” around other girls, relationships, experiences, etc.

I don’t know what this means but i wanted to talk about it.

Has anyone had issues coming back to India from abroad. I’m under incredible pressure from family members to go and “settle” abroad. How did anyone convince if you guys did? What to do? Just keep busy and ignore?

Let’s say you have two young, high income partners in a couple who want to buy a house together but don’t really care to get married. They already live together in an apartment but both want to move to a house to build equity and have a yard, not share walls, etc. Should one partner buy the house and the other pays rent until they get married, or should they get a mortgage together without being married? I realize there isn’t a “right” answer but I’m interested in people’s experiences here.

Granddaughter just accepted her first position in education as a para II. She supports one student but when that student is absent, she asked to help others. She asked me for advice about supporting a kindergarten autistic student that has just arrived from India and does not speak English and neither do parents. He is not aggressive but will refuse to move from task to task. What would be your advice?

Worried about my dad. He spends hours every day watching/reading news, but only sites that support his point of view. When he’s not consuming news, he’s railing loudly against politicians he doesn’t like or people who are on “the other side”, completely distorting basic facts. It almost seems like he’s slowly losing his grip of reality. This is all he does in his free time, he has no interest or motivation to pursue any hobbies or other activities.

Any New York attorneys come across any interesting or helpful case law lately? Reading a recent update, there was a decision that said where a parent uses a temporary order of legal and physical custody to exclude the other parent, it's within the Court's rights (with other factors) to interpret that as an inability to coparent and award custody to the prior non-custodial parent.

I believe my S/O night have bipolar 2... and it’s slowly tearing us apart. The whole Covid situation hasn’t helped things either. This is based on nothing but my gut, some internet detective work, and that it runs in their family. How do you go about bringing this up? Can anyone on here speak from experience (on either side)? Help?

Been with a girl for years. We get along well and enjoy each other's company. We're comfortable around each other, and I've generally been happy with her. As we've begun talking about marriage, I'm really giving some deliberate thought as to whether she's the right life partner for me. I'd pondered it before, but our relationship progressed very organically so never gave it too much serious consideration.

Now that I think of it, cont..

Thoughts on leaving a new job you’ve only been in for a few months? Started at a new firm in advisory and really don’t like it. Not what I thought it was going to be. I want to get out but how would that look to other employers? Most of the reason why I don’t like the new group is because of the people/team. I wish I could go back and look into another firm. I think I want to go industry now. Thoughts on leaving so soon?

Fam need advice.. I’m struggling in my rl lately. My gf and I met virtually on social media and have been together for almost a year. Things are great normally, but whenever there comes a bit spark of argument, my gf just turned into someone else, very emotional every time, keeping this it’s all your fault attitude… She tends to go to extremes and often times went too much, e.g., she bent (hurts a lot atm but fingers ok) my fingers as part of couple fun fights (it started with her pinching me)…

How much notice do you give when switching in house jobs? I'm close to getting an offer but no offer for a new gig yet. My current boss has said to reach out to him if I'm thinking of leaving bc we are a small team of 4-- so they can prepare a departure. At most I would be able to give 4 weeks notice. I feel very guilty. How unprofessional would it be to only give 4 weeks notice?

We are ready for a pet. I love golden retrievers but also know they shed alot bc I had one when I was younger. Debating on a golden doodle but then they look more like poodles than a golden. Do I compromise or get what I really want? Also if I take to families homes didnt want them to shed all over.
