Thought would put this out there
43 M Persian/Syrian/East Indian Mutt - born and raised in East Africa.
Looking for a serious long term relationship - distance isn't an issue for now - willing to relocate/move. Looking to start a family (fur babies or adoptions are viable options) I know this bowl doesn't usually trend that way - but am thinking there maybe someone else out there that feels the same way.

What are some examples of healthy vs. unhealthy doubts in a relationship?

Is anyone else dreading having to work for a big corporation after MBA too? Nothing against the companies but the management can make life hell very easily. I also can’t work with little compensation bcz I support my siblings financially.

(No kids, no joint assets, about 4.5 years into marriage)

had a level 3 lock down today (active shooter/imminent threats). no one was harmed but it left me wondering what else can I have in my classroom or do to keep my kids safe or fight back? (Hacks/tips)

Can a sex less marriage survive if everything else is as great as a couple can have in realistic and non filmy scenario.

My closest friend of 15 years told me she's been in love with me for several years. I don't know what to do. She's my closest friend. We talk about everything under the sun. I don't want to lose her. I could feel the pain in her voice as she told me this. She already knows she's just a friend to me. I'm serious about my girlfriend and we've discussed getting married. Is there anything I can do to lessen her pain and preserve the friendship?

For gay men, do you prefer open or closed relationships? And why?

As a woman, I feel like the Indian culture/mentality is a burden. Do any other women feel this way? Do men feel this way? What can we do to change this (on an individual scale)? Therapy?

Parts of the mentality that feel burdensome to me PERSONALLY: parental expectations and societal expectations regarding sexuality, marriage, age, past trauma (sexual assault), motherhood.

Long-distance relationship - what are the tips and practices that can help maintain the relationship for couples ~5 years into working?

Alright it’s been 21 days of no contact. Fastest and longest few weeks since lockdown 😞 I know it’s not an exact science but I’m curious on the statistics…who’s heard from their ex after a breakup and how long after?

How do you find a healthy balance between your job and your personal life?

My mum cheated on my dad when I was in grade school and I still resent her for it. I try not to but my dad sacrificed so much for everyone in our family and I don’t understand how she could have done that.

Somehow my dad found the strength to forgive her because he didn’t want us growing up in a broken family like he did. I feel like I can’t fully move past it after seeing how it broke my dad and it subconsciously affects my actions towards my mum sometimes.

Best self-care tips for dealing with loneliness/sadness this time of year? This is my first Christmas without my mom and it just feels like nothing will ever be the same again 😭. If you’ve lost a parent can you give me advice on getting through the holidays? Being a parentalish figure to my students is both healing and heartbreaking.

Any galpals living in the loop/river north area in their mid 20s would like to get together sometime for chill dinners and hang outs? Trying to make new friends in the city before winter hits lol

Ladies, did you change your last name after getting married? I’m worried about the impact it will have on my publications.

I'm struggling to get into a relationship. I've been trying for at least two years now (I'm in my late twenties), but I don't seem to find a man who's good enough for some reason. I want to settle down soon enough, but I'm also not rushing this or keeping a timeline, because finding the right man is important. I see so many of you guys here in long-term relationships. Does anyone have any tips? Feel free to get into my DMs.

Girlfriend has very obvious high functioning anxiety and body image issues that she admits but thinks she doesn’t need therapy or medication and that reading self-help books will help her. It’s not changing in the last several years and it’s impacting our relationship. Anyone have experience with their SO dealing with untreated anxiety? I know I can’t control her but would like to express my feelings without sending her into a spiral. For context, I’ve been in therapy for 12 months and medicated

Any other lonely social workers in here? I mean a lot to some of the people on my caseload but that's about it. Don't have any family near me and it's hard to make friends with non-SW's mostly just because I'm too tired after work to want to do much. Do you spend most of your time alone or is your social time self care for you? Just feel like I don't have a support system!

Having a baby boy soon, any new baby boy names please?

Hey KPMG how is life in the FRM advisory? Got a job offer from them

I need some ‘fun’ tasks to be part of an Auditor Olympics. I’m teaching a 2.5 hour 1 X per week Auditing class this semester. I need some fast and competitive games when energy gets a bit low. I was thinking of things like correctly footing a schedule, downloading an SEC filing, getting an exchange rate, etc. Any ideas? These are college juniors or seniors.

Any ideas for a solo road trip in north east region?

Putting out feelers: Does anyone have a reco for a GREAT strategist? This need would be for general healthcare (not pharma) and previous experience with med-tech devices would be ideal.

Hi Guys, welcome to the group. Let’s wait for few more people to join and then may be we can discuss how to get the best out of this group.

What is the max. salary offered to an Analyst at Novartis?

Please share the max. number that you know

I need some insight on my salary. I've been working at a large insurance brokerage for 14 years now and am a Senior Account Manager. I service a book of around $1.5M and am doing all the data entry side of the job plus client facing service without much, if any assistance. My current annual salary is $78,500. I've recently found out from someone who left the company, who was in an entry level account management position, was making only $20k less than myself. Am I being fairly compensated?

I'm an engineer, and I feel like my manager is more of a friend than anything else. We talk about our personal lives, and I feel like it's hard to be completely honest with her when she's so casual with me. I don't want to lose our friendship, but I also need to be able to talk honestly with someone who has the power to help me grow professionally. Is there a way to have both?

In my room with all my computers, the heat this year is killing me slowly. I'm sweating all day long, even with the AC on.

What good, and bad comes out of corporate lobbying in the US?

I've seen how it can shape some policies at a a federal level, but haven't done much research at the lower levels. All input is welcome. 🙂

31F - any single M up for a chat?

What would you do if you started developing feelings for a colleague? I recently (earlier in the year) went through a breakup of a long term relationship but shockingly got over him pretty quickly once I moved back home and on my own. I started developing feelings for a colleague about a week or so ago mainly because he ticks off a few of my boxes and is just SO easy to chat to and get along with. Is it too inappropriate to try to get to know him more? We’re also friends on social media

My new anthem for dating. ‘ I don’t care - who you are, where you’re from, what you did, as long as you love me!’
