My wife and I want to move — we’ve outgrown our physical house and the location is no longer working for us. While we both want to make a move, I am more motivated to get things rolling and more open to a bigger move than her. I also have better job flexibility (thanks pandemic!). (Con’t)

Folks,
Have been married for 15 years and have a kid of 11 years. My spouse is falsely accusing me of domestic abuse and trying to get separated. We have had incompatibility even before marriage on various issues but it was an arranged marriage, we tried to work it out and stay together. Her side is asking her to move on. She has taken my kids passport and kept it with her. What are the options I have to defend myself?

Where’s the best place to live if you’re looking to secure an entry-level position working in PE? Don't have a family, really kind of willing to try anywhere at this point.

How do you deal with your boyfriend still being friends with someone he slept with before? Kind of bothers me but not sure if it’s normal....

On the topic of intimacy with partners… I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years and the past year his libido has dropped to zero. Mostly due to work stress (he says). Whenever I try to initiate, he always shuts me down and says he’s not in the mood. I even touch him and he gets hard but stops me as soon as I try to unzip him. We went from once a week to maybe once a quarter.

I’ve talked to him about it and he says I should take care of myself. So frustrated. 😭😭

AITA? If my SO of 1 year wants to get a dog, do I get an opinion? We don’t live together

Has anyone quit their job because of a relationship? I started my job 3 months ago and now my employer wants me to move to NY. The thing is, I fell in love during the pandemic with a friend that I have known for 3 years. It's frustrating since I know I could continue my job from home. I would honestly quit my job and wouldn't mind the job search again.

Any suggestions for getting kids to do homework? Sped Math 6th grade high need area - I cannot get these kids to turn in hw. Anyone agree with the idea of allowing class time for HW? I am at a loss

Why do we always tell people “Be the best version of yourself before starting a relationship?”
I feel this is wrong…first, if you’re someone who constantly wants to be better, this doesn’t work. Also, what happens when you’re going through things and you’re not the best version? What happens is…the going gets tough and then one person leaves the other.

I made a mistake. I talked with the ex this morning. He said he misses me. And that while he walk talking to the other woman, he wished he was talking to me instead. And when he saw that I didn’t respond to his texts, he drank a shit ton. And then called this morning.

He’s not willing to commit to the other women because he’s not over me.

I need to block him.

Have you ever been or currently in a relationship with someone of who’s political beliefs conflict with your own?

Not dealing with this currently have dealt with it in the past. My parents started out opposites but now believe similarly. I’m wondering if it is possible in this day and age.

Partners with kids and a working spouse, how do you manage? Is it realistic for both people in the relationship to work full time long term? How do you keep marriage going and career progressing?

I teach 4th and 5th grade.
I am not out to my students and families.
I am a very loved and "popular" teacher at school for my ability to build relationships and engage.

I am worried that coming out or rather being outed may affect my ability to build relationships because parents who have issues will inevitably relay certain messages to their children.


Coming out in an elementary setting is different from a middle or high school setting I feel. Anyone else?

I’m hoping to steer clear of any scams by posting & I know it’s been posted before but, again, scams. Anyway, I am looking for something that can be done remotely on nights and weekends after I get home from my daily in-office job. My sister passed away & I’m now helping raise her kids. With Christmas coming, I’m nervous and dreading the season not only to not have her but will I make it a happy one for the kids. I need extra income but need to be home with them in the evenings.

I want to thank everyone in this bowl for getting me trough the nightmare that is PCOS related fertility issues. After 1.5 years of trying, two rounds of medicated IUI, accupuncture and every other homeopathic treatment available, a vanished twin…. Hubby and I welcomed our little girl on Friday at 37 weeks. She’s perfect. It was conversations in THIS bowl that gave me the hope and advice I needed to get here. So thank you, all of you- and to those that need it - hang in! There is hope.

I am overly stressed that my parents are visiting and staying with me for 5 weeks. Paid them for a cruise but still have 4 weeks. I am dreaded to live with them 4 weeks without social engagement cont'

Parents - do any of you truly regret having kids?

So… 3.5 year relationship came crashing in Jan due to covid depression, work burn out, lockdown etc. We have stayed in contact and recently he has come around to apologizing and considering getting back together. However he also revealed he started seeing someone casually 4 weeks ago and technically is cheating on her by meeting me for coffee and to discuss this. I’m upset that he’s dating others but shouldn’t be right? I mean, I did the same. Still hurts though. And I told him to sort that out

Would you marry someone if they had a lot of loans on their head?

Ladies, did you change your last name after getting married? I’m worried about the impact it will have on my publications.

Hi fishes,

Interview is aligned with ANSR ( going to be acquired by National Australia Bank). Can someone give insights about NAB (National Australia Bank) related to its culture, WLB and job stability? There is not much info about NAB.

Let's say I can't get a product or marketing job in tech, but I could get in via sales or customer success. Does working in those roles pigeonhole you, or is it easy to switch later? If you take a job as a customer success mgr for ads, or as a partnership mgr for learning solutions for industry X, are you going to get stuck in those products (ads, learning solutions), roles (CS, sales/partnerships), or target industry (X)?

Any MBB/strategy consulting folks open to referrals? Can give one in return

Thank you FB family. After a two year hunt for the right opportunity, I am happy to announce that I have accepted an offer at FAANG (TC - 280) . The road wasn’t easy especially the last 2 months. I took the interview overseas (basically 2am - 3 am calls), was recovering from a surgery and finally contracted covid. I got some good advice from folks over here CONTD...

I hate being an attorney. How do I get out.

Whats Average hike in Synechron yearly ?

Please remember, when you’re asking for salary information, it’s important to mention where you are located. For example, $100,000 is going to be a lot more in Mississippi than in San Francisco. Thanks guys.

My coworker always takes a super long lunch. How does he have the time to get anything done?

Best jacket for travel? Would like something warm but packable.

It’s such an unsettling feeling to want to hear from someone and not want to at the same time. I’m shocked I haven’t thrown my phone against a wall. My mind wants a Rage Room but my body is exhausted and just wants sleep.

My superiors are asking me to contact CEOs of debtors to chase payments. We’re in B2B and payments are usually 30 days or more. As soon as we get someone over that and they don’t provide a payment date, I’m being asked to contact their CEOs somehow and demand payment. I think it’s dumb, will hurt the relationship and I also don’t want to ruin my reputation. Thoughts?

For those who wake up at 5,6 or even 7am - how do you do this in this cold, dark, hopeless weather? Any tips for that? I wake up with my alarm but it's so cold and dreary and annoying that I go back under my sheets....

Looking to make a switch from the insurance business (P&C). I just started this earlier this year but its not at all what I was told it would be like during the recruiting process. Was hoping you guys may have some insight, I have a background in sales and customer service. I'm very interested in Financial services (Financial planning, banking, etc. etc.) or something along those lines. TYIA

Anyone switch to Metromile from Geico. Since the pandemic hit, I don't drive anywhere an maybe do minimal miles on a grocery trip. Stayed with geico out of loyalty but the price of loyalty is 3 times what Metromile is charging

Has your company issued a statement regarding the overturning of Roe v. Wade? Kroll announced today that it would provide benefits for medical treatments sought outside of an employee’s home state.

Job called to schedule an interview and let me think about it. Decided against it due to daily miles and road construction. I also can not get off for the interview. I’m always covering someone. Sadly, I really wanted that job. Good pay, state benefits. Want to call back so bad and see if they could interview me in 2 weeks. 😢

Posting here bc this bowl skews toward consultants. I'm considering a strategy consulting-like role. I have assumptions, but want to validate realities. Any tips on books, blogs, podcasts etc?

Looking for nonfiction book recommendations relating to international history/diplomacy/American foreign policy!

Has anyone ever travelled by air with a paper license (temp license)? Did you run into any issues with TSA?

Found out that wifey is pregnant for 5 weeks. When is the appropriate time to report it? Does she need yo have a conversation with hr? She works at deloitte.

Any books/self help materials for someone who is constantly worrying (and waste a lot of unnecessary time)? E.g. No matter if i pass or fail an interview, there is always something to worry about. The worrying/anxiety multiplies when I proceeded further in the interview stages. Now that I signed the offer and is pending background checks, my anxiety is off the roof as it itches closer to my starting date.

Looking for inspiration from real people versus youtubers..

On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your looks and personality, 10 being highest?

I’ve received a full time job offer from a company I have worked for remotely for the last 2 years (only traveling for productions), the only catch is I would have to move my life from a nice city with a lot of nature and outdoor opportunities to a large metropolitan city. My partner doesn’t want to move and I don’t think I do either. As a contractor, I work about 60-70 hours per week and have been grinding for two years. The full time people don’t get it any easier.
