Want to plan a romantic weekend with my SO. Suggestions near Boston? Hoping for something in nature where we could do easy hikes and spend time together without a lot of people around.

I had a breakdown on Saturday at my second job (youth group advisor). My parents had to come pick me up, at age 35. I couldn't deal with people being nice to me -- my job is just so frustrating.

I have been in my position for 27 years and have never seen such a state of affairs as I have this year (but then, with the pandemic, who has, right?) Well, long story short, we've gone hybrid (some in person, some online). The teacher has been out with surgeries and covid. I have been teaching both groups at the same time. Sometimes a sub for help, sometimes not. I love the kids, but really?

My friend recently had a big fight with her boyfriend and it's not solved yet - she's worried. I just got engaged on Friday. Should I tell her now or is it bad timing? I don't post anything on social media or told anyone except family yet, so she won't find out from others.

My boyfriend has given soo many red flags over the past year but we’ve been trying to make it work. Heated arguments consistently every other week. We disagree on a lot of “expectations” in a relationship. He can be controlling and quick to get angry, and I just can’t take this emotionally anymore (esp when he blames me for making him angry). Tips on getting through the break up convo when you know it’s the right thing to do but you love them & it hurts like hell to end things?

A guy who is claiming to be in love with me (a black woman and immigrant), is a conservative (pro-trump, anti-gun laws, denies that there is racism etc). Are those red flags to make me cut him off?

Any recommendations for books for desi parents ? Politics , economics, world order , self help

Family luddites ask about my work and immediately behave annoyed when I start to answer.

If at all, how do you guys manage romantic relationships in IB? It’s easier if your s/o is in the industry bc they have an innate understanding someone outside wouldn’t but I don’t think that means you have to find someone in the industry. Curious to hear some thoughts.

Guys, I need your thoughts on a dilemma. I have a rule, that whenever someone cooks, the other person should do the dishes, ideally that night. Not unreasonable. I do most of the cooking now since I WFH and my husband goes into his office. When he’s supposed to do dishes he lets them “soak” and they’ll sit there for a few days..it’s so gross and I can’t handle it. I’ve tried different strategies of explaining, yelling, not yelling, doing them myself after all, mini cooking strikes, etc. Help?!

For the older 🐠 out there. Have any of you successfully re-dated an ex and end up getting married? Haven't talked to an ex in 2 years and really hit it off.

I am a woman with pretty severe ADHD. I’ve taken medicine pretty much every day since I was diagnosed as a child. Currently I take Vyvanse with 10 mg Adderall. Even with the medicine, I sometimes I feel like I’m barely a functioning adult. My SO and I maybe want kids but I’m terrified of 1) do I have to stop medicine while pregnant and breast feeding, 2) could I even do my job without medicine, and 3) could I really take care of a baby?!? I’d love to hear other’s experiences or thoughts! Thanks!

M, 44. After 21 years of marriage, my wife and I signed divorce papers with no contest. We have two adult daughters together, 18 and 21 So no child support, no alimony, and I make $170k at 44. I recently moved out of the marital house into an apartment,m. What should my next steps look like at this point? Do I need counseling?

(38F). My boyfriend (39M) after 2 years together (long distance but travel to one another and spend time), suddenly told me he wants to try to be a musician again. He did this in his 20s , failed and started his corporate career at 26. He’s a Senior Manager in Fl but i personally feel is underpaid. He was supposed to move in to my place in September and start living together. I initially told him I would support his music on the side while he pursues his corporate career full time. *Cntd below*

Can someone please explain why some people bring up past emotional hurts during arguments even if you’ve apologized for them and they haven’t happened again? But they still feel the need to weaponize this moment and throw it in your face. And before anyone asks, no it’s not infidelity… just looking for advice/insight here

I was okay and then randomly saw photos of my ex that i didnt know existed in my message history to my friend (i deleted everything related to him the day we broke up) and it has brought back all the memories and pain. It has already been over two months. I hope this can go away.

We're returning to the classroom full time after Spring Break (finally!!!). I am going to be co-teaching for the first time and I'm nervous because I'm new to the school and don't know this teacher well. Any tips on how to get to know her and plan together?

Hi fishes

I heard that some of my friends are doing multiple full time jobs same time. Is that allowed? Will there be any impacts going forward? If yes what are they?

Can you please explain

Anyone be in a relationship where the other has an alcohol problem? Every night out drinking leads to emotional breakdowns and fights. Been going on for 6 months now. Should I break up?

It’s week 5 for me of the breakup and even though I had a full and fun weekend with friends and people I love, I woke up today so so sad because I wanted to text my ex. I just feel overall so defeated and exhausted from sadness and unmotivated at work :(

Stories of a Jax night out?

I'll go first: on a last night out for a navy guy I'd dated for like 6mo he dragged us to king street where i never enjoy, at the bar w the toss the ring game a couple was fucking in the bathroom and the guy in front of me in line was mad about it taking so long so he started banging on the door trying to break it down and started to fight them when they came out. So we escaped to kickbacks where a customer threw a drink at the waitress who subsequently pulled a 🔪

For any folks who got approved for the San Francisco office as their return offer, did you get called today saying that you’re being switched to San Jose due to ‘pandemic related changes’? I’m trying to understand if that’s for everyone or just some return offers.

Any thoughts on Broadcast Center Apartments near The Grove? Moving from OC and I could walk to work if I live there. Also looked at Palazzo East. They seem to be from the same company. We would like to save to buy a house next year and Broadcast Center is cheaper.

Recommended parking / mode of transportation to the open this weekend?

Any current/former JP residents? Should I feel comfortable parking a Mercedes overnight on Green St? New apt doesn't come with a spot and would prefer not to walk 3-4 mins to car each day.

Anyone have a tax accountant they like in the area? And before anyone says to do it myself, I’ve tried that before and hated it so this is just something I am willing to spend the $ on for my sanity.

This will probably sound odd, but any thoughts on strong Boston-area companies in extremely unsexy industries? I’m thinking like industrials, shipping, heating/cooling, defense, manufacturing, storage, freight, physical security etc. I’ve always found the type of people in those fields no nonsense, down to earth, and incredibly easy and fun to work with.

Anyone thinking of moving out of Boston because of corona? Been here several years and it’s losing its appeal. Without travel there isn’t the same benefit of being in the NE. Looking at warmer spots...
