what age did you get married?

It’s been asked before whether it’s worth it to pay (~$150) to upgrade a 3 hr flight. I generally agree it is not. But what if your two tweenagers bicker nonstop and are complete and total jerks to you all the time and your spouse chooses the “they’ll grow out of it” approach to things so basically you just want 3 hours of alone time. Then is it worth it?

(Note, in this scenario, they are all entirely too naive to realize it isn’t a system comped upgrade.)

Time to get off the road... My 3 year old daughter keeps asking "where did daddy go"? all week 😪... tough decision time.

Is it weird that I feel like I’m good friends and have a connection with people I meet online rather than people I know IRL?

Perspective check:

I'm an SA, and my fiance is finishing up her residency and loves the medical field. I make good money and have a house but I feel like the relationship and the obligations (house, family) are anchors and holding me back from living my life. I want to sell and live on the road, traveling and being free.

I love my fiance and my family but I just want to quit everything and just hit the road.

Am I being dumb?

I'm an engineer and I love building things but based on what I've seen about Gen Z, I think I'm going to raise my kids in a less modern style. No TV, no internet, at least until a certain age.

My marriage is struggling and we have to pack up the kids and fake it till we make it with my in laws for most of their Christmas break. I don't want a divorce but things are not good, and it's hard to pretend they are even in front of the kids. Looking for advice I guess, or just a kind word. Really don't want the in-laws finding out and trying to put their two cents in, and neither does she.

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?

Why is it so hard to find a relationship? Is it a corporate thing?

16 weeks and so worried all of the stress I’m under is going to hurt the baby. Between work, my own scary (non-pregnancy) health stuff, the pandemic, my mom (who is a widow and lives alone, basically isolated by choice due to covid) is having health issues, and pressures to keep billable hours up, I’ve been having complete breakdowns. Today I spent almost the entire day crying and now have to make up the billable time this weekend. I really worry abt what effect this will have on the babe.

Do you ever feel in a relationship absolutely sure you’re with your soulmate or will there always be some doubts you’re not with your perfect match?

My ex husband was an extrovert and alcoholic. He went out with drinking buddies or anyone who would join him several times a week. We grew apart. Why is love so blind? It should have been obvious...

I married my gf 2 years back after a long relationship, and having disagreement from both of our parents, finally they agreed even though she is from another part of the country and from a different cast.

forward to now....
I'm just following all their rituals and ceremonies as per their customs why ???
Because they say the do like this or that, when it comes my side of things then they say oh we don't follow like that.

It's painful you know , seeing my.parents and my self helpless in that

Little story I wanted to share. I’ve never been close to one of my siblings and haven’t put effort to change that. Eg., never initiated conversations. In the past few years I’ve felt convicted to try to be more loving. I didn’t feel I liked her, but recognized my responsibility by being cold, even though it was subconscious and not quite intentional. So anyway, I’ve been trying, with much prayer. Recently she reached out asking me for something major and I started to feel bitter. *Continued

If you could go back and start over would you still choose this path? Or would you choose a different career and/or a different time to have children? I accidentally became a working parent in law so while I love my job and my children I don't think I would have planned it quite like this.

Would having to take a bus for 45 mins to an hour and then having to do a 15 minute walk from the bus stop to the office be a dealbreaker for you for a job offer?

Has anyone had trouble finding an ob gyn? I just moved to my area and the recommended ob gyns are fully booked. The first date I can schedule is not until I'm 20+ weeks along. Would you just go to a lower rated ob (taking 2 out of 5 stars on Yelp) the first few weeks and then switch when you are able?

Anyone in this group doing IB? Looking to shift from the U.S to Dubai to live closer to home, so I wanted to get some idea of the industry there.

Got an IBM offer. In the offer letter, there are 3 options, Accept, Decline or Query.
I have raised a query to change my joining date which they complied with. But now the offer letter does not have any of those 3 options but I have both the offer letter and the mail with new joining date.
Anything to worry?

Do you move out of the way for people who are walking towards you on the wrong side of the sidewalk? Unless they have a dog pulling them or it’s an elderly person with a cane, I will never cede. My partner says I’m petty.

Does anyone know of any resources to learn more about wills and trusts, bankruptcy (consumer and business) as well as tax? (IRS or EDD). I’m in California if that helps. Thanks!

My boyfriend and I already live together (I moved into his 1BR apartment this year), and we’re excited to get a new place together in early 2023. Any practical tips on how to decide what furniture to keep vs. replace? We’re still renting, so I’m inclined to just keep what we have. What pieces are worth buying new now vs. holding off until we have a more permanent place?

How do I politely hint at a guy I have just started seeing that he is moving to fast? We have only been seeing each other for a couple of weeks and not had any sort of exclusiveness discussions or anything but he is texting and expecting replies multiple times a day (I am currently on vacation away from the city we both live in), planning trips together in several months, letting me know how much he likes and misses me several times a day. I like him but I am starting to feel very overwhelmed.

Sucks to adore, want the very best for someone, treat them exactly like they should be treated by a SO, and then they still don’t want to be with you.
