The love story

What's the hardest part of being a working parent in law? My wife and I are considering trying to get pregnant.

How do you handle people’s kids showing up on video meetings? Screaming, kicking, hamming it up, (wasting time.) Everyone else is coo-ing…I’m not a kids person. Heard a technique which is to drop off the call bc you “assume the call is over” (which seems like a great way to get fired especially if it’s a way higher up’s kids - plus it feels rather passive aggressive.) Thoughts?

Should I break up with my girlfriend? We have been dating for close to 2 years and there are some things that have irked me (her lack of care around finances, talks about her exes, super insecure about her looks (complained to me when she was drunk last Friday how no guys bought her drinks, I wasn’t there), has a terrible relationship with her mom and dad and gets upset when I go out for the weekend to hangout with my mom (father died horribly last year and she has been alone). To be continued.

Engaged and married folk - how did you know you were ready to propose? Any creative suggestions for the perfect quarantine proposal?

Does anyone here work for Axiom or know someone who does and, if so, how difficult is it to stay fully engaged?

Everyone likes me because I'm a doormat with no boundaries. I do anything and say anything to make people happy. I will think what you think I should think. Will you be my friend?

Do you tell your boss you’re going through a breakup? I’m phoning it in and obviously going to be camera off for awhile.

Why do we always tell people “Be the best version of yourself before starting a relationship?”
I feel this is wrong…first, if you’re someone who constantly wants to be better, this doesn’t work. Also, what happens when you’re going through things and you’re not the best version? What happens is…the going gets tough and then one person leaves the other.

I've been working from home for the last six months and had this constant urge to eat treats I find anywhere around the house. My two daughters find it humorous, but it has rarely made me feel good. Kindly, what can I do to stop?

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?

How long did you date your SO before moving in with them?

Any dads out here? Wife is 20 weeks pregnant with our first and want to connect and know from fellow dads on how are they coping. How are you helping your partner? Feel I am not doing enough. Except for getting ready with the finances.

Pregnant moms, feel free to provide suggestions on what your partner is doing which you really appreciate. I got the foot massage part covered. 😉

Girlfriend of 3 years cheated on me right before we were supposed to leave the state and move in together. We broke up about 4 months ago. I couldn’t demonize her, so I’m still struggling with processing it and idk what to do. I’ve been looking into therapy, but I can only do online which leaves me hesitant. Any advice would be appreciated.

I’m sad to see this bowl died. I was the not single, slightly buzzed, and lonely female looking for a friend ~1yr ago and I found one! We still chat to this day.

I’m very much in love with a co-worker and I’m married, how bad of an idea is taking it further?

I been thinking about buying a 3bed and 3bath house or a condo. I haven’t had much luck in finding one so I started thinking about 4 bed and 3bath. I am single and I don’t have any plans to marry or have a partner staying with me. Is there anyone who’s single living in a 3 or 4 bed house by yourself ? Please share your experiences from all aspects. The only thing that makes me think weird is, it’s too much space for one person ☹️

Have you ever taken a job you know you will hate because you needed the money right away? I have a family to take care of. I don't want to be plowing through our savings for selfish reasons like my mindframe at work, but I don't want to make our lives worse by being miserable. It's a matter of really ruining some of our financial future if we don't get money soon.

How many of emails do you think you’re coming back to after Rosh Hashana?

Has anyone been able to negotiate anything extra or terms when being laid off?

So, as a non-Brahmin Tamilian I shouldn’t participate in this bowl?

According to an article in LinkedIn new job postings are down for the first time in 9 months but still there over 10 million open jobs with only 5.9 million unemployed workers. Why is it that here I am unemployed over 4 months and still not one offer. Anyone got some positive vibes to send my way it would be appreciated! I’ve been in sales for over 20 years, b2c, b2b and account management as well as sales management. I’ve got great skills and enthusiasm to give to a great employer!

Met a guy thru a mutual friends. Our first date was a day trip together. He couldnt come to a group event this week bc of work but I ended up to his house to hookup after (my idea). He hasnt texted me about meeting up this weekend...do you think i should text him? Getting feelings for him and worried i should back off before getting hurt.

Hi music teachers! How are you surviving? I’ve been teaching band and choir for a long time, but distance learning and Zoom has me stumped. I’m lucky to have a job, I realize. What are some things you’re doing in your virtual classrooms that your music students enjoy?

Looking to move to the Dallas Fort Worth area close to June I’m here to network and see it all would welcome me and help me out during my transition

Does someone with a Lufthansa account mind checking for me how many miles I would need for a 1 way business class ticket from HKG to ORD on 7/28?

I would check myself but they require 7,000 miles.

Thank you so much!!!!!

Looks very windy at cota…

Max or Lewis fault?

I think it’s 100% on max. By breaking so late he was banking on Lewis backing down, which was very risky.

Tomorrows race has so much potential to be really interesting; really excited for this!

So it isn’t the car after all !!!

Abu Dhabi Turn 1. Hamilton crashes into Max, who returns the favor. Massive fist fight as they exit their cars. Both are disqualified and Bottas is the champion.

Red Bull, please drop it!

Mazespin living up to his name in practice. Already in the gravel. 🤦🏼‍♂️

George, Albon, Norris on podium this week!

I am just waiting on the next Netflix documentary! 🏎

Anyone else a bit annoyed with the announcers right now? I get you disagree with the decision to not start the race, but man there was so much rain out there I can’t blame race control. I think it’s Crofty, not 100% sure, but the comments like “that car should have a driver in it going around the circuit right about now” are a bit much for me. Anyone else feel the same or am I just overreacting?

Leclerc can’t catch a freakin break this year!

I'm new to the F1 world. Have been following it for the last few years I know all the new teams and drivers etc but missing out the history of it. Is there any book you can recommend? Like a F1 101?:)

Netflix absolutely licking their chops rn over this race 😋

I’d Alonso’s car damaged? What’s going on?

Has anyone ever dropped the coin for a paddock pass? Thinking about treating my old man for his 70th birthday at the 2022 Canadian GP. Worth it? Any tips along the purchase journey?

Vettel you beauty ❤️

Someone explain to me like I am 2 - what’s the Altitude factor in F1?

At this time next week, the most awaited F1 press conference of the year will have happened.

Can't wait for next week at Spa.
