About to hit the 1 year mark, generally we spend the majority of the weekend together, so 2 days. Initially, we’d hang out Wednesday or Thursday night too, so at least 3 nights. Now it’s a bit closer to 4, we generally like to keep Sunday night and Monday to ourselves for work related purposes.

I’ve been dating a girl for 6 months or so… thinking about asking her to move in to remove the commute time

Depends on your age and the autonomy in your relationship.

What do you notice in older vs younger relationships?

42, dating for 8 months, and we see each other 1-3 times a week, depending on work stuff. I still travel for work occasionally and he does not. I also just moved closer to him about 3 months ago (was previously living 25 minutes away and now 10 minutes away), so we are able to see each other more frequently without having to deal with rush hour traffic after work lol

Monday Morning rumination: unsolicited advise is criticism.

Much to reflect on with this topic. Last week I was told in a 1:1 with a new contact that I was “too direct”. After some time chewing on the conversation I was struggling to place the emotions I was feeling. Turns out I was feeling guilty and shame for being me, for taking up space. Lesson of the week: unsolicited advice is a criticism of you, a micro aggression of who you are, and being “too much”. What would you do??

My boyfriends birthday is coming up. He’s turning 28, but he’s new to the city we live in and doesn’t have many friends. He works from home and his company is based in a different state so he couldn’t invite his colleagues if he wanted to… anyway, how can I make his day special, even if that means I invite 1-2 of his new friends in the city?

Been having trouble moving on since girlfriend ended relationship 3 weeks ago after 2+ years of dating. Before ending it she came over 3 weeks prior to basically give me a chance to work things out and we had a good discussion but then I went back into our routine and didn’t really fight for it or have serious follow up convos that we needed. Now I just have so many regrets that I let her go. I know we still love each other and left on “good” terms but can’t forgive myself for my lack of action.

Same thing for when her parents decide to stop by and I'm at her place, I have to leave immediately. Is it a red flag or is it still too early?

I‘ve been in a relationship for 2 years, and my avoidant tendencies flare up every so often when I feel let down by my SO — e.g., usually when he’s blanked on something he should have done to make me feel more supported in work or social contexts. He knows this about me and supports me wholeheartedly as I continue to work through it — but I know I can be quite cold and distant in these rare but painful moments. How do others work through this, if at all?
