Still madly in love with my ex who dumped me ignored me 😭

Ive been in a relationship for 7 months. We met 4+ years ago but it didn't go anywhere at that time. We kept running into each other throughout the years and stayed cordial. When we started talking again this time around, I had flat out asked him about many things including education. Contd.

I have a student who is a strong writer and wants to be a blogger. How can I support her in this?

TL:DR; How does my friend get sober from alcohol and drugs, without upending their life/career/family?

My best friend who I have worked with professionally, and been good friends with for 7 years, has picked up a steadily increasing addiction to a certain drug over the last 3 months.

He has been expressing concerns to me more frequently about his use and how it is effecting his work/relationships.

Is there a “best route” to get him back on track? Any advice appreciated.

Need advice pls . Been working in call center customer service for the past 15 years , since 2007. I work remotely .I really do love it . It’s convenient when you have young children.

Any tips on howNOT to be super resentful towards in-laws this time of year? Despite them living close & retired they have seen my 8 mo old a handful of times. We have needed help during the pandemic with child care, but they never stepped up - Instead, they have chosen to spend time with their other grandchild, who is in 1st grade which makes it impossible for us to see them bc of covid risk. Now we will host them this wknd for earlyXmas, and I’m just so resentful at how absent they have been.

Feeling so overwhelmed. Trying to find the balance between an ambitious career and raising a toddler. Feel like I am failing on both fronts. Just can't seem to wrap my head around... (Cont)

Going through a tough time mentally. Any good therapists? Need for myself as well S for my wife (I’m struggling personally for which I’ll need individual sessions and then need marriage counseling with my wife)

My husband seems to hate everything about me. He finds everything I talk about boring, and if I don’t talk, he calls me boring. I looked at my phone for 2 mins at a dinner and he started to scream at me for being phone obsessed. If I talk about work, he tells me I am pathetic. I am struggling to conceive and he keeps telling me I don’t care about having a family. I am so sad and exhausted all the time. What can I do?

He broke up with me almost 2 months ago and it's just been death.
Some days very good and busy and powering through. Other days are hell. Pure hell

I care more about the Puppy Bowl than the Super Bowl ads.

I got a promotion this week and I’m really excited about it. Weird time to go telling people, since so many folks have fallen on hard times, but just wanted to share somewhere.

I should have switched to “creative” or a copywriter when I had the chance.

I'm both relieved and very bummed that my agency isn't throwing a holiday party.

I feel like I’ve lost all the skills that made me stand out in quarantine. I’ve never felt so incompetent at my job as I have in the past 4 months.

I confess that I'm pretty sure I'm a hack, but people keep hiring me, so I'm confused

Do people care about Cannes anymore? The top winners are usually shitty campaigns with minimal business ROI and massive amounts of PR dollars behind it. Where did the true value of agency's go?

Peace out. Turning in my resignation in a couple of weeks. Can’t take it. Not worth the stress for the $. Can’t wait to see leaders face when news is delivered. It’s going to be the best summer ever!

I think our industry is dying.

Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Accountability!

Dear agency,

Hiring people from “diverse backgrounds “ will do nothing to position you as “cultural experts” when your leadership team is still comprised of overpaid, undereducated basics.

Do less.
