** Really need your advise**
So my gf 26 and I 27 (m) broke up a month back. We booked a concert long time ago and that’s up next week. Our breakup was mutual but this girl is special. I have tried over and over again to rekindle but she said it’s done. The concert is next week and I really want her there. Should I ask her one last time or should I let her go?

Reached out to an ex after not being in contact for 4 years. Said “Hi, I hope all is well.” No response. Intention was not to get back together (we’re both married now), more to mend fences since we were good friends once upon a time. Was reaching out a mistake?

Just discovering RSD after being diagnosed as an adult. I feel like SO MUCH of my life has been impacted by this and I just never had a name for it. At work if someone gives me negative or constructive feedback it can feel like a punch in the chest even if I know it's not personal. Makes romantic relationships so hard too. What do you do to handle it especially at work?

Anyone ever hired a private investigator to look into a family member?

It’s week 5 for me of the breakup and even though I had a full and fun weekend with friends and people I love, I woke up today so so sad because I wanted to text my ex. I just feel overall so defeated and exhausted from sadness and unmotivated at work :(

What are some thoughts that get you out of your breakup sadness zone? I need to borrow them.

1. Have a better life than the one you imagined with him
2. Build a big life. Being rich and famous solves everything.
3. Mind your business. Be the main character in your story.

Graduated law school, passed the bar, and started my job last summer. My wife and I got pregnant with our first sooner than we expected, and we're due in June. Any general tips/advice?

Do people have relationship check-ins with significant others? How soon is too soon to mention the future? (Context: 31F, dating 5 months exclusively, BF likely moving for job in 8 months).

I have a connection who until recently included the following in her “about” section:
Single mom of 2 teenaged sons.
Tattooed CPA.

I feel like the world has gone crazy.

Heading down to the Springfield area to spend Thanksgiving with my in-laws and my mother-in-law wants to get up around 3:00 a.m. to line up for Black Friday Sales... honestly, I don't think I love anyone enough to get up that early and spend hours in the cold dealing with a crowd of people... Happy Thanksgiving everyone

Around what week we’re other people able to feel your baby kicking or moving???

How to make friends?

hello,how do you guys decide carrer options ?

i am a 22, Got a role as Sde in startup, pay is good, but everyone focuses in work. i try to be social but others don't.
My college friends are all allocated different places and its tough to meet them.
i feel very lonely.

I am motivated by being social, else I don't have any motivation to work.

So, I was thinking whether I prepare for Gate so I can enjoy the life of student again or for other good top companies.

pls advice.

Had another dream about my ex. I asked him questions on why he changed. He answered just let go. I think now my brain is finally starting to fully acknowledge there is only one path forward.

I have to tell my parents that I got engaged this weekend. They haven’t been taking the coming out well over the last year (i.e have isolated themselves from their community, screaming and crying when I’m on the phone with mom, dad hasn’t spoken to me since July). I’m incredibly nervous about this conversation. Going to have it in about two hours. Any words of advice?

My parents have done a lot for me, but are biased toward my other sisters ( such as mom buying them more expensive gifts than me on my occasion ) .. I feel bad about this whole thing when I notice that she cares more about them than me. As a parent myself I guess it’s impossible to be completely equal with all kids, so I’m wondering if I’m being unreasonable and wrong in feeling hurt . Would like to learn from others experiences and perspective

Binge watched Looking over the weekend and my heart is broken because of the ending. I hate unhappy endings and they make me depressed for days.

What do you all do to make non-professional / personal connections? Particularly with the Coronavirus, and being in domestic relations, I wake up, go to work, work out, go home. So outside of law, my interactions with people are only at the gym given that my area is draining— particularly at the moment. Probably a good thing for now; but if we take coronavirus out of the equation, I’m interested what others in the community do to develop personal connections.

I’m spending Christmas at my boyfriend’s family. I accidentally hugged his sister’s boyfriend because I can’t distinguish them in the dark 🙃🥴🥲

I have an interview for an Account Director role at a growth marketing consultancy.

All comments will receive a helpful or smart react from me. TIA!

Hey All, what’s your personal experience with work life balance (WLB) in Singapore? I’ve heard varying views on this so would be good to hear from people on e.g. Big/small tech/consulting etc. companies and how they differ in terms of working hours and WLB. 😊

VC community - a recruiter (from an external agency) reached out to me in regards to a strategy position in the VC firm’s local office but I feel tremendously under-qualified as someone with less than a year of consulting experience.

I’m looking to buy a full length mirror but I want one that is high-quality and accurate. Right now I have these cheap mirrors in my apartment where the image is distorted to make me look taller and skinnier. Well this has been fantastic for my self-esteem for the past few years it’s shocking when I see what I look like in a normal mirror that isn’t a “skinny mirror.” Anyone have suggestions for a full length large mirror I can hang on the wall that will be high quality and not break the bank?

Hey! I work on IT data analytics (with ServiceNow) but don't see myself growing my career in this area. I've had 2 years of experience, and would like to pivot to another domain/area. DEI, tech policy, or people operations have been of interest to me since I want to use data to enable decision making that positively impacts individuals and communities/populations. Also, I currently don't work with the standard tech stack (SQL, Tableau, etc.). Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

what are the biggest red flags in a distance relationship? I would say being spotty on communication is the biggest one for me.

Where are single men looking for single ladies these days? Tinder/hinge and other swipe apps seems to be flooded by onlyfan-ers which is fine (you do you boo) but not something i am looking for in a potential partner.

Boyfriend got off the phone when the argument was his fault. Thinking about being the bigger person and calling him to resolve it, but realized I’m the one who always calls back and apologizes first. I want him to but also don’t want this to drag on. Thoughts?

If someone said (over text) “happy thanksgiving to and for you” what would you think they meant? To be clear the intent was “Happy Thanksgiving to you” as a greeting and “happy Thanksgiving for you” as in, I am giving thanks for you.

Would you invite your past hookup in your friend group to your wedding? Fiancé wants to invite this guy from her grad school friend group and they used to hook up. I am opposed because I don’t like him and he never respected me (made me feel invisible when fiancé and I first dated and is still a prick to me). Fiancé thinks it’s harsh if we just leave him out while inviting the rest of her friend group

Men of FB, how did you girlfriends / wives sex drive change with age?

what age did you get married?

At this moment, I am almost depressed. I am in a relationship with this guy for 2 years now. In the past 2 years, we have fought more than we have lived days with peace. We both have high ego problems because of which it’s really hard to resolve a conflict. Things have recently escalated to calling names/swearing and even physically abuse from both sides. We both want to end the relationship, have tried so many times, but we cannot.

Entering 2-4 years of long distance. Been together for a year. I know she is the one for me, any tips on making it as painless as possible?

What's the best relationship advice you've heard recently?

I am generally uncomfortable when I’m around my mother-in-law’s husband.

While he is overall a decent guy, his anger issues, yelling at his wife for the slightest issue, and insulting nature makes me uncomfortable and triggers my own anger due to his blatant disrespect for just about everyone around him.

My mother-in-law says he’s worked on things, but it’s been 10 years of this and I’m not sure I want such behavior around my wife and our kids since we’re trying to conceive soon (cont).
