Poll: are you the type of person who keeps a strong relationship with your friends in a relationship, or tends to become MIA and devote most of your time to your SO? No judgements here!

I'm assuming that most of us work longer hours than our SOs. In light of that, do you expect your SO to do more work around the house due to having more free time?

I used to be a special Ed teacher and changed careers to an executive assistant at BMO after facing major burnout from teaching. Now that I’m a first time mom, i really want to work part time or even .75, but I do not want to go back to teaching right now. I am thinking of tutoring- any suggestions on private tutoring vs. tutoring companies?

How do you get one of your super sensitive friends to stop messaging you 20 dumb memes on instagram per day

I recently started seeing someone new and he's mentioned that his religion is really important to him. I grew up in a religious household, but I'm not religious at all anymore. I don't have any strong opinions either way so it's not a deal breaker for me, but it seems to weigh on him a little that we don't share the same beliefs. What can I do to support him and show him I care about his values without it coming across as insincere?

Does anyone have an SO that isn’t as interested in international travel as you? What do you do?

Any New York attorneys come across any interesting or helpful case law lately? Reading a recent update, there was a decision that said where a parent uses a temporary order of legal and physical custody to exclude the other parent, it's within the Court's rights (with other factors) to interpret that as an inability to coparent and award custody to the prior non-custodial parent. Share away!

Recommendations on where to stay with a toddler in Maine? Looking for smaller towns that we could explore and willing to travel to more than one. Will be traveling next summer.

Those who find happiness intrinsically, how do you do it? I’ve always sought things and people to be happy. I’ve been less happy after college and the pandemic doesn’t help. Growing up, our family constantly moved (3 continents, 4 countries) and it was always difficult to make friends. I can’t complain to people about this because then I sound like the privileged prick who gets to travel and lives a arguably good life. Sorry for the rant 😔

What are some very good regionally known firm located in San Diego, California ?

I have been in my position for 27 years and have never seen such a state of affairs as I have this year (but then, with the pandemic, who has, right?) Well, long story short, we've gone hybrid (some in person, some online). The teacher has been out with surgeries and covid. I have been teaching both groups at the same time. Sometimes a sub for help, sometimes not. I love the kids, but really?

How do I get straight people to stop asking if my boyfriend is my brother? Pls help

I have a suggestion/ things you want me to know box in my classroom. Today one of my students put a note in the box saying her mom lost her job and she feels bad because she is the poorest student in the class. She said the other kids have cool things and she is poor. I want to help her but don’t want to offend her parents. Any suggestions?

I found out that my old classmate from college was brutally murdered by her boyfriend (and fiancé) yesterday. I can’t describe how shocking it was to find out. She was stabbed and strangled to death and it really upset me. The fact that it’s her fiancé makes me skittish around men now. I have a bf and he’s amazing with no questionable past but just the possibility that things like this happen just scares me and raises my anxiety.

Does anyone else get severely frustrated with their parent's lack of technical proweress? I feel bad but my parents are so out of the loop it's becoming taxing on our relationship. Any tech intro courses for older adults or anything that can save our relationship? I swear if my mom calls me about how to log into Facebook one more time......

I will be visiting my parents for some time after years of living away from them. Wondering what kind of board games / card games people play with their parents. My parents are not too caught up on current memes so games that need current “popular” knowledge are out.

Anyone hiring helpdesk positions around SLC?

Anyone else struggling with feeling like their life is just completely out of balance? Feel like a lot of us have been working more than ever and besides the holidays I feel like my life has been work / sleep / a little bit of time for working out + talking to friends / repeat for a really long time. I’m definitely reminiscent for college and pre pandemic times when i had more time for seeing friends, hobbies, etc and those weren’t restricted by the pandemic

New to this Bowl and topic. What's the general consensus? Should I invest now (eow)? If so, then where can I find a step by step. Thanks!

Can I be under contract on two homes at once? Let's say A as a 2nd home (will close first) and then B go under contract afterwards as an investment property, that will close much later after the 2nd home?

B will be rented out. I already have a primary home. All 3 are in different locations. Anything else I should be mindful of?

Is going on a "break" worth it? And for how long?
Feeling like I need a reset to figure out if I'm with the right person.

I’m 28 and my parents are pressuring me to get married to my boyfriend of 1 year and 4 months. He won’t give me the commitment they want (i.e: ring or promise of a ring in x months). Cont.

Recently ended a 3+ yr relationship (were both mid 20s and living together for just under 2 years) bc of him buying an engagement ring yet not proposing and waffling about our future. After 2 weeks I brought up that there’s a lot of good in us that maybe worth trying to work on (counseling etc). He wants space first and asked me to not wait for him as he sorts out his emotions and “tries to be happy again” (COVID depression and 100hr work weeks). Then he’ll decide if he wants to try again

For the older 🐠 out there. Have any of you successfully re-dated an ex and end up getting married? Haven't talked to an ex in 2 years and really hit it off.

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?

Why people get married if the chance of long lasting happiness is so low?

Met this guy through friends a few years back. He made me feel really special, told me he was going through a bad patch with his gf at that point. Things happened between us in a couple of months and

Breakup etiquette- we broke up and I was supposed to go to his relatives’s wedding in a couple of weeks. I know the couple, not super well, but have hung out and texted individually as well. Should I let them know I won’t be attending and wish them well or don’t reach out to them?

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.

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

Male friends - how would you react if new gf made a joke or was sarcastic about your skills in the bedroom.

How do people stay satisfied while their consultant spouse is traveling. Do you just wait, use the phone or self serve? Please I need advice

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

I need some advice. I met a guy on a dating app. We talked for a few months before meeting up in person about a couple weeks ago (we live in different states that’s why it took so long to meet up). Anyways we hungout everyday that he was in my city. We casually talked about him visiting again soon. We talked everyday since until a few days ago. He just stopped responding… he’s been online though… what do you guys think?

Hello hello,

Had my induction today at my new company (asset manager). Really liked HR girl who led the meeting, chatted a bit after, loved her smile.

How can I take it to the next step? Was thinking of coffee/grabbing lunch in our canteen, but sounds like a risky move (especially given she's HR..).

Thoughts?

Idk if there is a bowl for this, but this has been on my mind pretty heavy lately. Does anyone feel like they are not themselves? I feel I have lost a grasp of who I truly am. I feel like I float through work, float through social situations - react in a BS manner and just say stuff one way or another just to say it. Feel I react how I do in my relationship just bc it’s the “right thing to do”, etc. I feel as if I have become a robot. Contd in comments..

New gf said she’s addicted to me. What does it mean?

What duration of break is perfect for a couple to figure out if they want to break up or move forward with the relationship? Me and my boyfriend, we fight a lot over petty stuffs and have disagreements over every little things. So, we decided to take a break to decide what’s best for us.

What’s a reasonable Christmas gift for a girl I’ve been dating for less than 3 weeks?
