People who successfully came back with their EX after a break and have a much better and successful relationship than before. Please share your story including how long you were apart before reuniting.

has anyone here ever ended up happily with someone they weren’t quite sure about initially? i’m pretty happy when i’m with my s/o but we have the most random/dumb hiccups that drain me. we don’t fight - it’s just him doing dumb things like not explaining things properly which causes misunderstandings 🫠

I met this guy and it feels like he was made for me. Literally that God made him for me. I feel so blessed to have found him, but terrified of love. Now I think I’m unconsciously sabotaging everything. What can I do? Help! Please!

Any white males on here dating Asian females, specifically Chinese? I’m a white male with a Chinese girlfriend and I’m a bit worried about meeting the parents (they are in China; we are in Australia). They’ve said to my girlfriend that they’d prefer her to date Chinese so they are able to communicate with her boyfriend, but other than that it seems ok. Does anyone have experience in this situation? How did it turn out?

Where to start. Sitting here contemplating life after a sixer and wondering why I keep getting to this place. I make my family scared of me and push my wife and kids farther away while I think everything is ok.I can stop drinking when I need to focus on work, but when things get out of control I just drink it away. Tired of this cycle but unsure where to turn, but I know if I continue down this path it won’t be good. I am a vet and think I have PTSD, but turn to the bottle when needed

First-gen grad students, does your family put pressure on you to succeed? It feels like our relationship is them just bugging me about my work. I’d love some advice, I miss my fam.

Do you ever feel like you’re just never going to experience real love or be that ‘special someone’ for somebody? I sometimes feel like I am defective in some way, because despite being in my early 30s, I have never felt particularly special to any guy I have been with- it’s always felt like I am the space filler until they meet the right person

How to handle your emotions in a less sex ( not no sex), and low quality sex marriage?

It's emotionally depressing for me when we don't make out, getting ugly thoughts of breaking up.

Although I also do understand this should not be the ground for destroying the family, but the lack of it creates a vacuum in me.

Hi SP’s! Anyone here have experience with telling their child about the divorce and how he will never have certain things (like daddy sleeping over or mommy sleeping over) etc? I really need some guidance right now. Feeling really broken as my son (5) is constantly battling his feelings of wanting to be with mommy vs daddy. He often tells us, “when I’m with mommy, I miss daddy. When im with daddy, I miss mommy!” And would often cry bc he can’t have us both. We try to co-parent and be in (cont)

My husband is pushing for us to get pregnant, but I'm not sure if I'm willing to sacrifice my career/outsource much of "raising a child." More power to those of you that juggle it all.

We recently sleep trained our 7 month son. He went from waking up multiple times during night and taking only 30 minute naps 3 times during day (most cases nursed to sleep or rocked to sleep or took a drive) to sleeping 12 hours at night without interruption and two 2 hour naps and one 45 minutes nap during day. We both love that he is getting enough sleep and well rested on one hand. On the other hand, we are now wondering if he is sleeping way too much.. contd…

Hello Everyone, Anyone from Power Programmer bridge wave 12 recieved role change letter or any info on that?

My friend from India casually uses words to describe Indians from other regions such as Bengali, Madrasi, Gulti, Mallu etc. I do not believe he is being derogatory or insensitive.

However, he gets offended when I call him Bhaiya as he is from the north. I have never lived in India, so I might be missing the cultural context.

My friend is being recruited for a Cyber Security Internal Audit position at a major bank. VP/AVP level he’s currently a Senior Consultant with a background in Internal Audit and TPRM. Would this be a good step toward more management roles? He hasn’t got a lot of Cyber experience but wants to potentially break in and use this as a stepping stone

Housing/rent q— In a 3 bedroom with two roommates in Brooklyn and for 8 months of our lease we’ve dealt with mice issues. Our old managment company was so bad at responding to our requests/inefficient, so we took to buying traps ourselves. The problem would go away, and then we’d find another mouse. Managment recently changed in February and thy’ve been much more responsive but we’ve caught 10 mice at this point. Asked for one month of rent free, but LL only offered $500. Should we keep pushing?

Made a comment about a specific city being good to raise kids in bc of accessibility to good schools/colleges, and SO freaked out because he thinks I’m trying to keep him in one spot (both of work in this city, my family is here and his is not). He thinks I’m trying to stay close to my family and isolate him from his, which is not my intention at all. Told me it was a big red flag and he hasn’t talked to me since. What should I do?

My SO has severe anxiety which has resulted in a dead bedroom for nearly 2 years. I love her and am being supportive as she works through stuff in therapy but at the same time I also feel very sexually deprived and rejected. Is it alright for me to seek physical satisfaction outside the relationship until we are able to restart our sex life?

I met a couple girls through a friend and they’re both really smart and fun to be with. I’ve been thinking about getting back in the dating scene but don’t know which one to ask out. They’re both friends so I can’t really try the other if one doesn’t work out. Thoughts?

Been with a girl for few months, really enjoyed moments that we shared together and barely got into any fights. But, somehow somewhat, I don’t see that we share the same vision in our career path. She wants to settle for administration roles while I want work & travel to multiple countries, really hard for her to find those opportunities within her current roles. I like her personality a lot but I feel like really hard to share interesting topics/ my works with her. Any advice please?

A question for the guys: was this a date?! Ran into a guy I knew in college at a bar, he technically asked me out (“we should get drinks sometime” etc), then paid for my drink. But as we were saying bye, it felt kinda platonic? Like just a hug and “good seeing you.” Or is he not interested? How often do you kiss on a first date?

How do you get over the fact that your
bf (who is super active on social media
and USED to post you without you
asking) just never does it anymore?
You don't suspect him of cheating or
anything like that, he just doesn't think
to do it anymore. I don't want our
fights to be around social media, and
honestly am embarrassed even typing
out this post, but it’s been on my mind lately.

I ate one biscuit out of a big packet that belonged to my roommate and he said things like “it’s so tough to get these biscuits” etc. The thing is that I would have never said that to him. I’ve told him that as long as it’s in the kitchen, don’t ask me before eating. He also constantly keeps asking me to switch off the kitchen and bedroom lights. Is my being annoying justified?
