My husband is very protective over his phone I don’t have password etc ….he has many passcodes and secret browsers. When he falls asleep and forgets to lock it and I grab it and he realizes he loses it and wakes up in a panic and starts screaming. I find this so odd and his reaction suspicious but he says he just really hates the invasion of privacy…am I wrong here to question his reaction?? I’m used not having passcode and couples sharing phone openly and can’t get over this

Anyone here adopt a puppy during the infertility struggle? Husband and I considering it to have something positive throughout this situation and thinking the extra companionship would be helpful. I work from home. Husband has had many family dogs and lots of experience with it, I’ve had a family cat before. But not sure if it’s actually a good idea - wondering if it would truly help make us feel better and keep our minds off of the struggles or if it would just add extra stress. Thoughts?

Does anyone have feedback or recommendations on robo cleaners in India? Thinking is sending one to family. With lockdown mom getting tired of cleaning by herself.

How can I make friends in Chicago?

Female 🐠 - if your husband has mostly non-muslim friends, is that a problem?

Hi everyone, first timer here. Having some issues w. our 4 yo being pushed around and bullied at preschool. He’s really sad and upset. He’s also super shy & introvert. Any advise? Pep talk? Discuss with teacher?

I'm back in the industry. One of my hired consultants (mid level) talked bad about me. What can I do to make his life miserable?

My SO plans to have dinner with 3 friends at an outdoor restaurant. This upsets me, since I haven’t been in a restaurant or met anyone else without a mask since March, and I thought we weren’t going to dine with people we didn’t live with. Am I being unreasonable?

GF is 32 and I’m 28. She wants kids within 2 years, understandably. I never envisioned having kids that early (more like late 30s), but I like her a lot. Anyone else gone through something similar?

My best friend has Celeste!

Just lost out on two potential clients because they said they were concerned about how many clients I have. Currently have approx 250 households ( Ed Jones speak for mailing groups). I never thought that was a lot but now I am reevaluating. Curious as to how many relationships you all manage.

What are your best (or worst) kids interrupting a zoom depo or hearing stories during the pandemic?

why do i struggle when my s/o isn’t texting me? ik they’re not cheating on me, ik they still love me, all that jazz.

but for some reason i’m not at peace when they take some time to themselves.

any tips or advice?

Home for the weekend, and I'm find it more and more difficult to relate to my old high school friends. Anyone else feel this way?

Never tell your wife to calm down. That won’t go well for you.

Instead, turn it into a question like “does someone need a time out?” Much less confrontational that way.

Any success stories out there of couples who come from different socioeconomic backgrounds? I’ve heard this difference (statistically) can be a huge barrier to success in a relationship. I’ll add more context in the comments if it helps.

Any parents who are still on the safe side with Covid? We have a 1 year old and being safe and staying mostly home is really getting to me. Most of our friends have kids who are able to mask up or are vaccinated and it’s getting quite isolating. Especially now mask mandates are being lifted feeling like we can’t go anywhere without risking our kid.

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>

How do I figure out spending with my SO? Initially I was paying for 90% of stuff (no actual bills, just going out). I talked to her and said we need to be more even. She was never proactive. She kind of got offended but we ended on a good note to split things. It went well for a couple weeks but now it's back to normal. She never takes out her card and only venmos me if I send her the request. She lets Venmos sit for weeks before paying them. I still let a lot of things slide.

Happy Sunday! Just curious: What’s a relationship dealbreaker for you?

I don’t get the hype about the new Spider-Man movie. Yes, it’s a good one, but why do people think it’s the best one yet? Am I missing something?

If you had a choice, would you live in Chicago or NYC?

Last song you listened to.. go!

No promotion or raises in my office because of COVID. We ve done a brilliant year until March and the business is not (yet) impacted. I feel it’s unfair. (Continued in first comment)

Saw there is a promoted live session on how to handle performance reviews today (1/6) but when I click on it it just takes me to this bowl. Anyone know how to register?

Does receiving a ‘Does Not Meet Expectations’ on year-end review with no other next steps - In this environment - basically mean I’m on the chopping block? Should I start job hunting?

What do you folks think about a monthly show and tell of anything data-related?
Open forum where anything relating to data & its applications would be fair game. E.g.:

-a visualization you made and/or like
-data pipelines for a personal website
-market analysis
-relevant memes
-scientific article
-data news
-what you'd like to see data driven but isn't

In a nutshell, a conversational experience. Introduce and discuss ideas. BYOB and at least 1 talking point, or if you really want a full deck

What’s the different between business analyst and data analyst? Sometimes I see them merged or people say “business/data analyst”

Anyones firm still hiring entry level, under 1 YOE. In Chicago?

Just went on a shopping spree and have no money left lol

Has this ever happened to you that each time you meet your bf/gf , there is extreme nervousness from both sides ? It’s a good kind of nervousness (shyness , awkwardness) and almost feels like meeting someone you have known forever for the first time?

Is it a red flag if they’re an associate?

Looking at a Facebook people strategy role and wondering if I’d have a higher chance at getting a first round interview if I was referred by a FB recruiter in a different department? I have another friend who is a FB benefits manager but he says 9/10 referrals of his don’t get one. Thoughts?

There really is such a direct correlation between cringey title and cringey posts.

Before LinkedIn...to me, the king of professional cringey was Shingy. Do you guys remember him? He was aol's overpaid "digital prophet" and got paid to visit companies at lunchtime and babble the same kind of nonsense we now call "LinkedIn cringe".

My current life situation has really brought my self esteem down and this quarantine makes it even worse. How do you lift yourself up when you feel low? I feel like I really want some validation that I’m attractive from someone but have never ever felt the need for it my whole life

I need help. I constantly pick at my beard for the last two years. It is creating holes and looks terrible. How can I solve this. I tried a number of things to keep my hands busy. Also how can I grow my beard thicker?

Woke up to the offshore team doing none of the work we gave them. Wonderful

Does anyone else feel like they drive their whole self work from their work and accomplishments… without that you feel like you aren’t good enough

I have a serious concern. I am a 23 year old male and still suffer from bedwetting issues and I am just done with this at this point. Does anyone know why this happens or the cause of it? Appreciated

I’m smart, get things done, self motivated. however I’ve hit career ceilings because I’m incapable of schmoozing, playing office politics, aligning myself with people who can boost my career. It’s just not in me. But I haven’t come to terms with it. Every time I go on LinkedIn, I see some idiot I used to work with has been promoted or jumped ship to some very senior role and it kills me inside because I know that I’m far more capable and yet will never make the same money.

Already slept through the first half of the work day. Happy Monday !

Fishbowl is the only app I can open in public besides my email. I'm terrified that I'm gonna be scrolling though Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram and some NSFW stuff pops up just as someone glances over

Any book recommendations that are must reads/made a significant impact on you?

What are your biggest vices? Do you embrace them, or are you seeking to change them?

Am I regretting offering to stay back to monitor this data? 🤡
Just wanna take a nap 😴

Someone senior at work is very dismissive of my questions and makes me feel nervous around them. I have just joined the team and so I have a lot of questions. They also try to blow things out of proportion or misrepresent facts and I get flustered in the moment and can’t keep track of what really happened. So I end up accepting blame for things that were not my responsibility. And the truth hits me a few hours later. How can I break this cycle?

Apparently I got mad and called someone an a*****e yesterday. And today I called them like nothing happened. I have zero recollection of this event until they explained the scenario to me word by word. Even then I only remember it vaguely. Should I see a doctor? Or is this common? 😳

I did apologize but they were more upset that I don’t remember this happening.

I went to a networking event today, but deep down I want to marry a prince/ trust fund only child and be a stay at home TikTok wife/mum .

I was about to talk trash about my truck driving friends and blame them for my heatwave related problems. Then I remembered that I drive an SUV, not zero emission, and I'm not doing much better for the environment than they are. I'll just ask them what if the climate change believers are right and see what they say.
