Unless it’s just one or two of them, it says something about SO and so I would reconsider

How many friends do they have?

is it alllll of their friends or just some of their friends? I have multiple groups of friends, and so does my bf. There are a couple of his friends that I don't like (they are VERY standoffish and not very inviting/friendly), but the majority of his friends are super cool.

I would also ask WHY you don't like their friends. Are the friends taking up too much of your SO's time? Are they mean?

I have the same issue with some of my fiancés friends. Some of them are really friendly and some are standoffish. My fiancé has some friends of mine she likes and dislikes too. Its a norm because nobody can expect to make all the same friends

Was having a conversation with a fellow female friend which intrigued me. She is in her early 30’s, has been in relationships before but she decided that she wanted to be a virgin until she felt right (impacted by culture/upbringing). She says she feels very embarrassed about it lately while dating. I comforted her saying her sexuality is her choice and the right person with respect it. But it got me thinking, what is the truth and how can I help her better? Men please share your thoughts...?

I posted weeks ago about a not-so-close friend wanted to stay with me for 2w during 🥚 freeze. She hoped I could driver her to the clinic (5+ times) and accompany her to her egg retrieval. Recently another asked if I could be her surrogate because the surrogates that the clinic had were too expensive, ~100k. I make 350k tc. Just the mere opportunity cost would be way more than 100k if you think long term. I easily said no this time but I am still shocked. Maybe there’s something wrong with me.

Made a comment about a specific city being good to raise kids in bc of accessibility to good schools/colleges, and SO freaked out because he thinks I’m trying to keep him in one spot (both of work in this city, my family is here and his is not). He thinks I’m trying to stay close to my family and isolate him from his, which is not my intention at all. Told me it was a big red flag and he hasn’t talked to me since. What should I do?

My SO and I are struggling to prioritize which social obligations to attend separately vs. together. With events back in full force (weddings, birthdays), we try to pick the ones that matter most for joint attendance — then do each other the favor of taking the rest separately. Recently, I’ve started to feel an imbalance in how often I’m showing up for him vs. him for me, and I’m starting to resent it. I’m even tempted to back out of things I’ve committed to attending with him. Any advice??

I know I should probably go for therapy but want to get insights if anyone has ever felt this way. I grew up in a close knit family and had complex relationships with siblings. Over the years, I have come to realize that everyone just wants to get stuff out of me. They only call when they need help or money or some other form of extraction. After 15 plus years, I m sure no one cares. Each time I have needed help or even emotional support, no one has been there for me. It’s come to a point ....

Advantages of doing this : HR will give first priority to the candidates who has less notice period, and later we can change
Another adv : joining bonus .

Is this good idea , or should I need to tell 90 days .

Thanks

Tired of dating... Just looking for a husband at this point. Anyone interested? 👀 I'm a very fit, very smart, 30F.

Met a guy(a coworkers best friend) Friday, we spent the night together and it was great, we laughed, we got to know each other, he was such a gentleman about everything, offered to pay my Uber, asked me to text him when I got home. I heard very little from him after that, and the last text (on Sunday) I sent he left me on read as of yesterday. So my question is, is it weird for me to ask him if he’d be interested in dinner next week? Should I take the left on read as a sign/red flag, etc?
