yeah I don't get that. leave consulting if it is that much of a stress on your relationships. I'm probably younger than you but life goes on without consulting and you'll be able to find a job that is as rewarding but local.

Not divorce but going through a breakup now, and it's rough. Hoping we all survive this.

Sorry to hear that buddy. Good luck with whatever happens. There may be other reasons for your divorce. If not, don't let the job ruin it.

You shouldn't have to choose between your SO and your job. If someone is forcing that either deep down you don't want to be here or they aren't the right fit. Any rewarding/prestigious job outside of consulting is going to have crazy hours (even in industry) so don't fool yourself thinking that's the only issue.

What do you do when you feel the goalpost has been/is being moved re: billable requirements? Like there's a spoken vs unspoken? I chose this job based on billables vs salary and what I'm being told I'm expected to do now is 20-30% (at least) > than what was initially agreed upon. Given my other life responsibilities, this is creating a huge strain & I feel like this is slowly getting harder & harder on my spouse & kids. I'm grateful to have lots of good work but not sure how to course correct.

Question about inclusion…. I’ve been teaching inclusion for 5 years so I’m still a newb, but a first year coworker of mine said she got points off on her observation because her kids were scattered in the classroom and she was having to move from kid to kid to assist. While I see the point of putting them together for convenience, I don’t agree with this at all! To me this is like singling them out by putting them all together instead of INCLUDED amongst peers. What do y’all think?

Has anyone been through a situation that you were in a terrible relationship ( stress,anger, fights, swears, physical abuse, ego clashes) and how did you resolve it? Some might have worked on and stayed in the relationship and some might have broken up. I am looking for answers from both sides. How did you stay/work on it and how did you break up and move on? Me and my partner have strong feelings for eachother and are almost inseparable despite going through so much.

IBD came to states at 8. My cousins back home are getting arrange married. My parents are starting to pressure me and pity me. But I have no interest in following a "timeline" and am pretty ambivalent when it comes to kids. I already have a SO and do not see a reason to tie the knot just because other people my age are. Anyone else getting pressured and its getting annoying?
