The screen time is time where my brain can unload after being hyper productive or social. I need it. And, it’s always been like this even before social media. I would need downtime alone and would watch tv so my brain could zone out and finally rest.

In the same boat😭. I am so burnt out from the week that I don’t have any interests or motivation to do anything social on the weekend. I spend time with my toddler after normal work hours but I am not “present” . It’s the same on the weekends. I am reaching for my phone or I am thinking about work tasks for the coming week.

This question may not be related. However I wanted to know from personal and family point of view how it is like to relocate from India and live abroad .
Let's say Family consists of husband , wife and a kid . I understand we will get good facilities, education, cleanliness , good air etc , however I wanted to check whether people gel up easily in the new environment? Don't they feel loneliness/ difficult to adjust? Do they look for similar asian nationalities to kill boredom?

Well I recently told a guy I have been seeing I have HSV-2. We have not yet been physical but it’s been heading that direction. Man I hate this part - waiting to see what his response will be after he researches and talks to his doctor. I’m on daily meds which help reduce transmission risk. You’d think that since HSV-2 affects 20% of Americans and likely a higher % of gay men, there would be less taboo but it’s hardly ever talked about. Anyone else in my shoes? Or had it disclosed to them?
