Recently got into a conversation with a friend of my girlfriend's about the defund the police movement and they did not understand the repercussions of it. I am ok with an intelligent argument, but it has to be informed.

I'm in favor of diverting some of the police budget towards mental health programs and social workers. Officers shouldn't be going to mental crisis calls, because their training isn't sufficient. Or they should be accompanied on calls by a social worker.

I agree. Shouldn't be defund but diverting the funds to programs supporting Officer's mental health. They have no idea how serious the effects of work to our mental health.

When the government started the movement of defunding the Police, I knew right away it was a major mistake. It’s sad law enforcement are being targeted while serious criminals are let go to roam around committing the same crime or even more serious crimes.

Confession: The only in-law that I had a great relationship with passed away unexpectedly.

I want to have a family and a future that is drama-free and full of love and don’t want to surround myself with negativity.

Married to a crazy rich girlfriend and it's the worst experience of my life. She can afford anything, flying first class everywhere, wears all branded stuff and she doesnt have to work for life.

We havent had any meaningful interaction in the past 1 year too, been sleeping separately, no touch/kiss/sex or anything like that. We might be divorcing soon...

Been with my GF since college and we recently hit the 4 year mark. 1-2 years into our relationship I found out she had instances of micro-cheating (flirting with guys, talking to ex’s etc - but nothing physical) and we addressed it. To her credit and my knowledge, she’s been apologetic and great at respecting boundaries since, but I still feel the pain from her actions years ago (and have talked to her about it). Feeling lost about whether to just leave or to try and work things out

Hi guys

This question may not be related. However I wanted to know from personal and family point of view how it is like to relocate from India and live abroad .
Let's say Family consists of husband , wife and a kid . I understand we will get good facilities, education, cleanliness , good air etc , however I wanted to check whether people gel up easily in the new environment? Don't they feel loneliness/ difficult to adjust? Do they look for similar asian nationalities to kill boredom?

I’m with a guy I’m 100% confident is deeply in love with me, would never lie/cheat/betray, respects me/listens to me, and tries to help me live my best life.

I love him very much, but I’m not “head over heels”.
Afraid that if I break it off because our relationship is cozy instead of the deep love I think it’s supposed to be for life partnership/marriage, I’ll be making the biggest mistake of my life
