My wife always wants to go on runs together. I like running by myself. We both work from home so it’s one of the few opportunities I have to be alone outside of the house. My wife gets upset when I communicate that. What am I missing?

How exactly are you communicating that to her? I need my alone time too, but it can be difficult to put into words without hurting feelings.

How quality time do you guys spend with each other ? How much you guys evolve , love with each other matters.. she will also like the alone time , but seems she is not satisfied with the quality time or love from u.. try to give her as much love during working hours .. I’m pretty sure without saying she will allow u ur alone time .. she wants to be with u for love and time which she might not be getting during working hours

Yeah quality time with each other it very different from coexisting in the same space all day.

Maybe her feelings are hurt or she’s feeling rejected. Why, I’m not sure. Maybe she’s feeling insecure in the relationship or maybe she feels she’ll do better in terms of time and distance if she’s with you. Run with her for awhile, what can it hurt? It will help her feel grounded.

What is her love language OP? If it is quality time like mine then I can understand her feelings being a little hurt. Especially since you both work from home but aren't really spending that time together. However it is important to have activities that you do by yourself and I know that so I let my husband do his own thing when he tells me he prefers it that way.

“I really need that time to clear my head and wouldn’t be present for you. Do you want to do X activity on X day with me instead? I think that would be more comfortable for both of us.”

As an introvert this is tough. Just about every female I’ve ever dated can’t wrap their head around it but some people just need alone time to decompress.

I’m posting this here instead of my usual Big Law bowl because I’m guessing there are people here who will understand. I just need to vent. I am married to a wonderful man who has a young son. My husband is the kindest, most patient and supportive man I’ve ever met other than my dear late grandfather. He is saintly. But the chaos that surrounds him hurts me. I am the primary breadwinner and far out earn my husband and my stepson’s bio mom. I have always put pressure on myself to succeed (Cont.)

After rejecting big companies like Infosys,Wipro, etc. I've joined EPAM Anywhere due to wfh permanently and it's perks. But after spending 1 and half month HR called me to search the opportunity outside of EPAM, means they're laying off people. It's unfair behaviour of the organisation. I've given some interviews they're playing interview interview with me, for the hiring process technical interview then for project - technical interview, client process - starts from 1st Round.EPAM Systems

(1/2) I started a new job less than a month ago at a large firm with a significant pay increase. I work remotely- which is a special arrangement. They paid for my travel to their headquarters for in-person training. After interacting with my manager and some of the attorneys, I feel like I made a mistake. Manager is demeaning and rude. A bunch of the attorneys dropped not so subtle hints that people who work from home are causing all kinds of problems. I don’t know what to do.

Anyone have situational depression? Can’t stop beating myself up over a decision a year ago. Basically missed out on a massive amount of money. I know this seems trite and i never even cared thatt much about money before this year.

So many other good things happened to me this year - got married, got a puppy, moved etc, and yet the one thing i keep returning to is this decision as though i ruined my life. Ironically the only thing ruining my life is my outlook and yet i just can’t stop.

I'm an engineer, and I feel like my manager is more of a friend than anything else. We talk about our personal lives, and I feel like it's hard to be completely honest with her when she's so casual with me. I don't want to lose our friendship, but I also need to be able to talk honestly with someone who has the power to help me grow professionally. Is there a way to have both?

7 year lawyer here. Been with the same big national firm all 7 years (not BigLaw) doing complex litigation. Been working remote a long time due to moving around for wife’s job. As a result of the moving was bumped off partner track. I’m looking at a great small firm that will be a practice change (but still litigation). I’m told they’re looking for someone with less experience and they’re skeptical because of my experience. It’s frustrating. How do I overcome this?
