My partner told me that he's emotionally hurt by our arguments/bickering (which happen often, lately). What does that mean? We've been working on stuff and I thought it was going well, but apparently not well enough. He's been withdrawn and I feel like he doesn't care about our relationship. He days he does, but I don't see it. I'm thinking of just taking break. It's so difficult to figure out what his problem is, and I feel like I'm doing too much of the emotional labor for him.

When is the right time to introduce your new bf/gf to your kid(s)?

Can I buy 2 houses , one in a district with school ratings 4/10 and another house with school district 9/10? And then send kid to school which is 9/10 .

Currently don’t have kids. But would have them soon enough to send them to school after 5 years.

Is it legally allowed to have two residences in same area but different zip codes and choose better school for the kid ?

I knowingly got married to a person with some psychological problem. my initial assumption was that she’d get better after leaving her parent’s toxic home. However she turned worst. She’d frequently/randomly become abusive and violent. She refused seeing doc.
I’m thinking of divorcing her, but I also know that if I leave her she’d end up in worse situation(her mother is terminally ill and father is also old with no other relative). Ps. I am Indian so no live in before marriage.What I can do?

How are people managing WFH with their kids? We have a 2 year old and 5 year old and my partner is also wfh. Small condo, no nanny. It’s freaking insane and my husband and I are fighting every day....

I recently met my close friend’s boyfriend and he made a good impression…until he tackled me. Now I don’t know how to raise it with my friend. My friend and I live in different parts of the country so I was looking forward to both of them visiting me since it seems like her happiest relationship. We were enjoying a picnic in the park by the lake and I don’t even know why but he started saying he wanted to rassle me (or however wrestling would be spelled in a fake accent) but (Cont…)

Does anyone have any ideas on an app to use for communicating with parents? I've googled so much and there are so many. Any thoughts would be helpful, but keep in mind I am a Preschool teacher!! Thanks in advance 😁

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.

Hello everyone,
I’m supporting a mom who had a 2 month supply of breast milk in her freezer but the freezer stopped working at some point on Thursday after 5pm. I believe she shouldn’t re-freeze the milk at this point. She said the milk is cool but not frozen anymore. Do you have any suggestions please? Can she re-freeze it?

The worst part of my breakup is the urge to obsess over his happiness with the woman he cheated on me with. Any tips?

What are some examples of healthy vs. unhealthy doubts in a relationship?

Confession: I love staying home with my husband and dog, and I kinda dread the pandemic ending. I don’t want to be forced to leave my house. I never want to go to the office again. I don’t really miss socializing with colleagues and friends. I absolutely love staying home and dread the day I’m expected to go into the office even a couple of days a week. I think I’ll be very depressed leaving my husband and dog every day after seeing how nice it is to stay home with them.

What’s something your clients wish they would have known before filing for divorce?

I was okay and then randomly saw photos of my ex that i didnt know existed in my message history to my friend (i deleted everything related to him the day we broke up) and it has brought back all the memories and pain. It has already been over two months. I hope this can go away.

Anyone else feel like it’s impossible to explain our jobs to friends? I’ve been struggling with this for years and now my best friend is getting married, asking me to tentatively reserve numerous weekends for a shower and bachelorette that may or may not happen (I’m the MOH). Of course I’ll do my best to prioritize her plans but it makes me feel like a bad friend and mentally exhausted to always try to explain big law. (Disclaimer: I’m decent at drawing work life boundaries when possible)

Meeting a guy through arranged marriage setup (I am south asian), the guy thinks that girls don't need to work after marriage as husband takes care of expenses , I want to say no to this person for proceeding . basically I feel this person lacks common sense that 2 incomes is better than one in a household. what is the best way to reject this potential groom candidate ?I feel a girl need not sacrifice her career after getting married , as marriage is not life it is part of life.

NYC parents with kids less than 3 YOE:

SO and I are moving from a 1BD into a 2BD for more space. If we plan to have kids - what were some important criteria / nice to have that you looked for in a place? Our 1BD is close to 800 sq ft in Manhattan.

Examples:
Separate room for the kid (must have)
Outdoor place (our current apt has a huge private park - is this useful for babies / small kids)
Bathtub - heard it makes bath time easier
Doorman / elevator (must have for us)

Should I ask for better designation?

Is it foolish to put more then $1-2k into an S&P tracked index fund per month? I’ve finally reached the stage as a senior associate where I’ve been able to save a nest egg so much less fear of getting fired and loans are close to paid off. I still live like I have my junior associate salary but have been socking cash in savings/house down payment over the years. I’ve heard an S&P tracked index fund is a slow and steady way to grow wealth and I’d feel comfortable putting in $2-3k/month toward one

Considering the hiring freeze in companies, does microsoft rescind the existing offers? Or has Microsoft done something like that in the past.

Rejection timeline?

I had a final virtual interview today with two managers (virtual position).

I usually assume the worst and think the interview went okay. There are some things that could've gone better but I don't want to dwell on them.

After the interview, I emailed my recruiter and asked for the managers' emails. I got even more anxious waiting for his response so I ended up finding them anyways and sending them thank-you notes. I interviewed on a Friday afternoon. Am I overthinking?

Is it "lazy" to leave things up to fate / destiny and just hope for the best?

I used to think that was a positive outlook, but now wondering if it's just because I don't want to put in the effort.

Had to cut a call short saying battery about to die coz I wanted to eat my vada pav in peace. 🥴

Coffee alternatives? I have a medical issue that causes inflammation bc of it, but I’m so tired without.

For the life of me, I do not understand why when I tell people that I’m Nigerian, they mention some irrelevant detail about a trip they took to Kenya or a friend they know from Angola. Ma’am/sir, if you told me you were from the USA and I mentioned that I have a friend in Canada, wouldn’t you think I was unwell?? 😂

My two best friends are a tiny bit racist (more that they make racist jokes a lot) and this rubs off on me I hate to say it and I have to train myself to undo whatever has rubbed on me. But they have been more loyal and there for me than anyone else. They aren’t that conservative even, I’m more liberal, but it’s mainly just kind of like jokes or code names for certain races. Ex is “so many detroits over here” cause one said there are lots of black people in detroit. Anyone face similar dilemma?

I peeled the oil change sticker from my window because I was embarrassed for the guys at the shop to see that I had gone 2.5 years in between oil changes. (Didn’t drive it very much due to working remotely)

Alright im 5'11 but why are there so many people 6'0 that are shorter than me?

Op-Ed: As a black man with parents from Africa, I feel like Black people have been receiving reparations for decades now. Any further reparations are most likely going to be a waste of resources and regressive—especially if their fiscal.

Take someone like me:

A. Grew up in a single parent home with six brothers.

B. Had to move eight times in eight years because we were always renting a house.

C. I have three brothers who are either in jail or is a recovering addict.

The only thing I hate more than working is being lower middle class / poor. And I’m both.

Been a few years since I have been on a date. On all these dating apps for the past year. Have gotten zero matches. Sometimes I feel like I am ugly. Working hard on getting in shape and have lost 80 pounds. Not sure why I do not get matches. It’s frustrating. First time that I have abs. Still not good looking. Hope to know what it’s like to be a, “Handsome” 33 year old Male. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Bachelorette horror stories? I’ll go first, I got injured and asked if we could stay in the pool at the hotel the night before our 8am flight and the bridal party alienated me & didn’t talk to me until we left and even went out that night without me.
