Fam need advice.. I’m struggling in my rl lately. My gf and I met virtually on social media and have been together for almost a year.

I suppose I’m considered an ABCD but I was born in India so I am hoping you fish will be able to understand: lately, I’m really struggling to make conversation with my own dad. It originally started with him telling me I should get married which led to me keeping a distance from him. Throughout my whole life my dad has basically been the one to be the rational voice - telling me to study, to work hard, to go to grad school, and encouraged all those things. Conversations always centered around what I had to do and they were less friend-like. It also doesn’t help that Indian dads don’t take vacation, don’t like to do “fun” things. Are any other fish struggling with this?

F here. I’ve had trouble in relationships because idk how to fight healthily. I’ve been going to therapy for it but I’m struggling atm because my boyfriend who I love so much, I’ve brought to his breaking point with my anxiety fueled approach. I don’t blame him. A lot of this stems from watching my parents & their toxic fights. I want to change not only for myself but for him, because I believe he is worth changing for. But has anyone ever gone through this & made it out better?

I need to let it out but I’m so fucking proud of myself and I just realized how lucky I got and it took me until just now to see it. I started in the military and it only took 2 months for me to get out and fall into a bottomless hole of depression. My transition went from: $13 an hour part time, separation with the wife, new job at $18 an hour for physical labor, hit with disability diagnosis, then $20 an hour new office job, reconnecting with wife, having 2nd kid, nearly divorcing (cont.)

When I was just out of college, I worked in a call center for a Fortune 500 company. One night, ten minutes before my shift was scheduled to end, I received a call from a customer. They needed simple maintenance performed on their account. But, for some reason, they were LIVID! From the second I picked up the receiver, I was bombarded with a profane tirade that went on and on. "I WANT A MANAGER!," he eventually shrieked. So, I connected the call... to a Taco Bell manager in Idaho.

Hot take: BMI is relevant to the vast majority of people. No, it is not the only metric we go by to measure health, but it does give you a general idea of where you stand if you're the average Joe Schmoe.

Yes, I know there are gym rats and body builders who would not be considered in the "normal" BMI ranges, however, we're talking about the outliers. How many of you can truly say you fall into that category? Cause I for one can't.

Let's stop lying to ourselves and eat healthier/hit the gym.
