Overheard in the garden aisle today: "If I had known you didn't have a job, I never would have let you move in. I'd break up with you right now if you had somewhere to go other than Home Depot." Have you ever heard a couple break up at your job? The perks of a people-facing role.

Hey sweet ladies, C (26 male) this side. Hope you are keeping safe and healthy!

About me? People usually say I am their go to person for when they need emotional support, advise about relationships and when they feel low, maybe because I help them cheer up again and be the ear they need.

I am a great listener too. I can go on listening to you if you feel low, won't say a word until you are finished, will hold your hand when you are done and try to bring your sweet smile back!

Does anyone of good dating app reccos for seniors? My gramps is 85 and is ready to “get back out there.” My grandma passed away last year and Covid has been particularly lonely for him. He’s fairly good at technology, he’s my favorite person to snapchat and FaceTime, but we’re looking for something very easy to use. Thanks ❤️

It’s Father’s Day, but my dad won’t speak to me.

Sometimes I wish when you were with a partner, there was a very clear sign that the person doesn’t love you so that you know it’s time to walk away. My partner and I keep having the same problems, and when I express he’s making me feel a certain way he says he didn’t mean it like that obviously. But when i say something and explain that it’s not how I meant it he doesn’t care and proceeds to label me as an unkind person who doesn’t support/love him unconditionally. *continued in comments*

My parents are scared that something will happen to me if I join the military. How did you guys handle this?

Marriages should be for 4 years terms and both parties must agree to renew it. It would end a lot of the nonsense going on.

23M here. Anybody have any tips or book recommendations on not feeling haunted by your past and anxiety about the future and consistently stay in a “FLOW STATE”.I’m currently reading the Power of Now. I have a habit of burning bridges because I feel that I’m perpetually trying to fit in and act “cool”. I feel that I’ve always been somewhat unconfident but every year it seems to be more and more difficult to manage and taxing emotionally. I go to the gym 4 times a week, try to eat clean, socializ

Anyone here who’s moved to industry and has a pretty decent work-life balance? I don’t know where to start to look for a new job and get an honest opinion about hours. I need to see my kids more.

I have female friends, I'm told i'm cute. People say I am good company, But I've never had a girlfriend and am 30.

I don't know what it is.. I had a bad experience with rejection when I was younger. The few times I've asked girls I liked out who started as friends fhey ween't interested...

What should I change.. what am I doing wrong?

My husband repeatedly claims domestic abuse falsely, and it’s getting too much. Now that I have kids he has started saying this to them and they say it back to me. I think he does this because he wants custody of kids or an upper hand when it comes to finances if we end up divorcing. Any ideas on how to handle this

Anyone going to the World Cup games In Qatar? My ex broke up with me right after I spent 20k in all World Cup tickets with vip access

I've been with my gf for almost 6 months now. For context she's still in grad school (we have a 2 year age gap) and I'm struggling to feel physically attracted to her. I have a good job, decent amounts of stress, I like to work out, spend time with friends, and am very outgoing. She's super sweet, kind, sensitive, and brilliant. I find her attractive but I find the fact that she's always up in my business and available to me unattractive. She also just got an amazing job in another state (1/2)

my boyfriend admitted to me today that he feels like my stomach is "bigger than he initially thought". we met on a dating app and have been together 4 months. he says that i looked thinner in my photos.

the pictures i had were recent/present-day so im confused. im 5'10 and a sz. 12. im definitely not skinny, but am curvy in some areas and was always comfortable with my body. i asked him if he thinks im fat or if he's not attracted to me and he says no. so im like, well why did you say that?

My parents act extremely needy and constantly guilt-trip me for moving out of India. They literally said that they didn't get anything in return for raising and educating us. Isn't it a parent's responsibility to raise their kids? Honestly, they lose my respect every time they do so. I understand if they need more help and support and I'm willing to provide them that, but if they expect me to live with them 24x7, I just can't do that. I've always wanted to live on my own and away from them.

Ex who dumped me abruptly before I planned on proposing reached out and wants to meet up 6 months later to try to get back together. I feel mostly anger towards her. Bad idea to accept and meet up
