My spouse shared with me an unfortunate situation with his father who is a cancer patient (his father had a black out and could have fallen had no one been there). He shared that he would have to go be with his parents a couple of days during the week and commute from work. I understand his position but just am nervous about being left alone and how it appears that the duties have fallen largely on him.

Hey OP, what’s making you feel scared? Do you feel deprioritized?

his duty. I will support whatever he needs and already shared that if this is the best solution, he should go for it. But I’m so damn nervous and scared. Would anyone else feel the same way?

To ask the same question differently: what are you scared of ?

I think I got comfortable with being deprioritized .. but scared of being alone, scared of uncertainty and that maybe it’s temporary now but can become a permanent situation esp when they are unwilling to compromise or seek assistance from other members of their own family as well (so have a more balanced approach).

Physically and emotionally. It would just be living by yourself for the unforeseeable future. Or you opt to move in with your in laws. But it’s clear -
Either ur on your own or you move in.

Suppose you are 3 months pregnant and interviewing for a job. Would you disclose to the recruiter that you are expecting or is there no need to give that information until after being hired? As for the compensation, if you’ve already been told pre-interview, the salary range for the role, is it appropriate to negotiate a number for the salary if you are asked your desired salary in the first screening interview? Or should you try to hold off on the negotiation after you receive an offer?
