So my GF went to the gynecologist yesterday and they told her she was infertile, there go my chances of having one more baby. I also don't want to leave her because of that I believe that would be a dick move of me. What should I do?

This bowl has been quiet and I see partners commenting on odd posts around fishbowl so I figure you need more fodder: partners, did any of you have parents that travelled as much as you do?

Are any of your firms providing vaccine exemptions?

I have a coworker who keeps spouting comparative odds and situations in regards to the safety of the vaccine. Such as: you're twice as likely to get hit by lightening than have blod clots from JJ. It's very annoying and I find it to be really inapprorpriate, maybe because it's pushy or just I find these comparative things to be a bit irrelevant. How does one handle something like that? Can you shut the person down without starting a spat?

Anybody else struggling with the fact that nearly all their friends are coupled up?
Not in an envious way. Just... Damn, this sh*t can leave you very alone.

My GF and I are dating for 2.5 yrs , She met an office colleague (he has a GF) recently who she initiated a friendship with. I feel that they interact a lot and I'm a little worried of her getting too close to him. A day ago she asked him for lunch and they were out for almost 4-5 hrs. When I expressed how I felt she keeps saying there's nothing going on. I feel that when start to get emotionally close to some other guy than SO then it's not a good sign in relationship. Am I overthinking? contd.

I’m shooting 3 talks tomorrow, none of the talks have been written. I can’t stop thinking about him.

How’s it going everybody! What’s y’all workout plans for today?

I could be your next husband. Slide in my DMs to find out.

Folks who are into fitness, can you please suggest a good pair of walking and running shoes.

So much baggage brought into the relationship. 2 years in and just discovered a whole lot more. Its been mentally extremely difficult and it’s changed me as a person. Just venting but feel hopeless and I know my SO is suffering. Wish there was a solution but I’m losing hope

I’m mid 30s F. Recently started seeing this guy, where he is “good enough”. Good conversations, decent time together, he has a good heart, but nothing about him shines. - not fit (I work out everyday and play sports), meh social skills (he doesn’t have best friends, just few he hangs out with), bit less energy than me.
There is a feeling in me that says “he’s going to be a comfortable life partner” and “he is just good enough, but if I break up I won’t find someone for a long time”
Do I stay?

It’s a man’s market these days. Men, what tips do you have to give to ladies to increase our likelihood of entering a successful relationship.

Anyone here in EY USA and can point me to the maternity policy? I can only find Canadian or UK versions ok the policy site!

My fiancée almost lost her life to a medical emergency. The doctor needed me to stay home 2 weeks to supervise her post-operative care once the hospital discharged her. We had nobody near that could help so I got permission to attend class remotely for 2 weeks from the dean and all professors. One professor removed me from a graded argument the week after I’d return. When I asked about this error, he had said “I had planned on your failure to appear” and that he preplanned giving me a 0 grade.

What do you do for your neck to prevent wrinkles? Just moisturize? Is there a special formula or routine you use?

Is anyone spending an abundant amount of time evaluating and tracking quarantine cases, attending internal Covid updates and other tasks associated with Covid at work ?

I just started parental leave for 12 weeks, but a new job opportunity just came up. What do I do if I get an offer? Do I tell my boss before I come back from leave, or do I just resign on my first day back?

Just a question for the ladies since I'm dealing with something like this right now.
Would you want to live with the groom's parents, just after marriage.?
Why/why not

Hey all, this could be excessive but I actually find the fitness side of things pretty easy, whereas the nutrition side is much more difficult to maintain long term. How would you all feel about nutrition check ins tracked with something like myfitnesspal? I generally tracks cals and protein, but find that if I stick to these I get absolutely ripped

Has anyone recently done a single-round super day (4 cases in a day) at McK? Want to know if the interviews were back to back and whether they were all straightforward/typically structured.

Failed interview at McKinsey + Bain… Feeling very de-motivated for this upcoming grad cycle. At what point do I give up/think I’m not cut out for this?

How was you memorial day weekend?

Yesterday I made a blanket fort with my husband and we watched a movie and ate ice cream. Yes, it was awesome.

I'm a light sleeper who cares too much about the people around me, but I've got a flight to London next Friday from 7pm NYC time to 7am UK time, and I'd really like to master sleeping on a plane just this once and not be in jet lag hell for the entire day after I land. I'll be in premium economy in an aisle seat. I usually take melatonin before bed and sleep on my side. Does anyone have suggestions for an OTC sleeping pill or pillow that actually works, or other advice for sleeping on a plane?

A couples years ago when I was at 1 of the B4 firms I went on vacation and my backpack (laptop and all) got stolen. I filed a police report etc. A couple months later I got a large package in the mail

This creepy that I have in the office!! Talking to himself wth!!

Building out a new function at my company, top 15 bank in the US, and scheduled a 90 minute meeting last week for today. Invite included an agenda and a teams link to the document we would be reviewing. Also asked for attendees to review ahead. 20 minutes in, my co-worker exclaims while I’m mi-sentence we should meet Thurs. after having a chance to review content… WHAT?! What should I have done in that situation?

….. I exclusively use cap locks to capitalize words instead of shift

The man I love is now married to someone else. He was my best friend since university (were now in early 30s), we never pursued anything romantically (was too scared to tell him) and now he’s married to someone else and they have a baby girl. I went to see them and they have this perfect home and family. His wife is perfect, pretty & young and smart. I’m still single. I want to be happy for him but I was so jealous and sad and felt like crap. I can never tell him. Just had to let it out. :((

When my parents call I don’t answer and call back 4 hours later. I tell them I’m busy but I’m just hanging out here in FB, playing ps5 or online shopping.

I don’t feel sorry for FAANG / Big tech workers They ll be ok right ? Haha

Does anyone else get super emotional when ending a trip? I’ve been working remote in a place for quite some time and leave soon. I find myself constantly on the brink of tears. What is wrong with me lol

Had to cut a call short saying battery about to die coz I wanted to eat my vada pav in peace. 🥴

So… I sometimes squirt and I’m super nervous during sex because I don’t know how guys will react. Fellas, how would you feel if your sneaky link started squirting during a session at her place?

confession:i regret not prioritizing finding a good partner when i was in my college/early career years and envy those who did. it's harder now mid-senior career because you have less time and it actually requires you put time and effort into finding a good relationship

I cannot stop eating the bramble berry crisp ice cream from Jenni’s. The pint goes way too quickly

I hate going to the Apple Store nowadays.

I am usually not into younger guys but this person has been making moves on me a lot. I am just trying to be a responsible adult and date more age appropriate aka people over 30.

Boys in the bowl, help me out here

I’ve never worked at a firm, only public interest and have no idea how to do billable hours.

I need help. I constantly pick at my beard for the last two years. It is creating holes and looks terrible. How can I solve this. I tried a number of things to keep my hands busy. Also how can I grow my beard thicker?
