What’s your definition of trophy wife?
Can someone aspire to be a trophy wife and a feminist? Can you be successful in your career and be arm candy the rest of the time?
This is all I really want.

Should you get married to a girl who ask you to relocate after marriage and tells you to divide all household work like a roommate. Also reluctant to cooking.

It’s a arrange marriage, girl wants to do job at Gurugram only and want to relocate to it. I am currently living in Delhi with my family and my job location is Noida.

Ngl this crisis just affirmed my decision about not wanting to have kids. Serious props to the parents attempting to simultaneously bill and homeschool their kids.

I know this isn’t a marriage therapy bowl, but my husband has a really terrible tendency of saying things like “you’re being really mean” and completely shutting down during a disagreement when i objectively am not being mean, just truthful or vocal about how i feel about something. It’s a really convenient argument for him because it enables him to either be the victim and me the villian, or forces me to concede my stance and not reach a true resolution. Any tips on dealing with the irrational?

Best self-care tips for dealing with loneliness/sadness this time of year? This is my first Christmas without my mom and it just feels like nothing will ever be the same again 😭. If you’ve lost a parent can you give me advice on getting through the holidays? Being a parentalish figure to my students is both healing and heartbreaking.

I had a break up and it was me who messed up. I blame myself all day and constantly have dreams of her. It’s been few months. I try to smile a lot or stay busy but randomly I cry out loud and burst into tears, I think I’m depressed. I also live alone don’t have a lot of friends and I’m 36. Can you please recommend a good therapist (I know you have to try multiple to find the right one)? And what else can I do to bring my self esteem up. Thank you

How long did you date your SO before moving in with them?

Just found out my boyfriend of 3 months (talking stage was about 6 months before making it official) slept with his ex a couple times while we were talking. After we agreed to be exclusive. Without protection. I’m so crushed 😞

AITA? If my SO of 1 year wants to get a dog, do I get an opinion? We don’t live together

Has anyone actually found love at work? My best friend started at a new company 6 months ago and she just took an offer somewhere else because she and her senior manager fell for each other. After 6 months she knew it was worth leaving her job for! I've been working at the same place for three years and I went on one date with a guy who didn't even work with me he just worked in the building. What am I doing wrong.

My relationship just ended yesterday because he wanted to “focus on myself and figure things out.” My relationship before that ended (~2 years ago) because he wanted to focus on himself. I can’t help but feel like it’s because something is wrong with me. What am I doing wrong?

Is it unreasonable for me to ask my husband to leave his job (or request unpaid time off) to take care of our children? We have been trying to both work from home with 2 kids at home (ages 2 and 4) and it has been a general shitshow every day. I’m dropping the ball at work constantly, working till 2am almost every night and working every weekend, and the kids are suffering too (way too much tv time and not enough outdoor time and constantly acting out for attention as we are unable to engage...

I’ve been in a relationship now for two years. We are living together. We talk about the future etc. I could easily see myself marrying her. However, I have an issue… cont

My GF and I are dating for 2.5 yrs , She met an office colleague (he has a GF) recently who she initiated a friendship with. I feel that they interact a lot and I'm a little worried of her getting too close to him. A day ago she asked him for lunch and they were out for almost 4-5 hrs. When I expressed how I felt she keeps saying there's nothing going on. I feel that when start to get emotionally close to some other guy than SO then it's not a good sign in relationship. Am I overthinking? contd.

As a guy, does anyone else feel like it's hard to really have a really good friendship with girls? I only have three female friends that are truly friends. All my other friends are guys...

Question for those who are married or about to be : how did you know he/she was the one? And how long did it take you to realize it?

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

GF is 32 and I’m 28. She wants kids within 2 years, understandably. I never envisioned having kids that early (more like late 30s), but I like her a lot. Anyone else gone through something similar?

Any book recommendations to gift my cousin sister? She studied (masters) psychology and is a trained classical dancer.

Anyone else have family know you are struggling to conceive and then when their kids act out they turn to you and say, “you sure you want kids?” I guess they are trying to lighten things but I find it really hurtful.

So, I had put money into savings (~$40k) a few weeks back. I know timing the market isn’t good and stuff, but would it make sense to put some of that into an ETF now? The $40k isn’t part of my emergency fund or anything. I just didn’t know where to park the money.

My boss is always making last minute changes to my schedule. Adding shifts or asking me to cover for other people. Any advice on how to handle this? I want to be a team player but the last minute changes stress me out.

If you're a vegan, do crossfit, and own bitcoin... which one of these things do you mention first when you introduce yourself to someone?

Hey friends. Recently joined a startup with a heavy reliance on outbound sales strategy. Without a phone number... what are some of your best ways to get meetings booked with prospects?

Our product sells itself, but how do you set yourself apart to get the initial meeting booked?
What mediums do you use with cold outreach that you find most effective?
What copy have you found gets the best ppen/reply rate?

I am not a sales PRO, but I'm also not a newbie. Really just looking for a think-tank.

When I’m in a heated argument with someone close to me, I want to isolate from them and can be perceived as giving the silent treatment or being short. But on the inside, I go through sad thoughts such as feeling like my presence is a burden, that I’m an annoyance, and dont want to bother you again by reminding you of my presence, and would rather leave you alone😢.

My VP asked my fellow team member to take on a task simply because of her race to help them land a grant renewal. We’re both women of color but since I didn’t match the target audience I was not asked even though the task is on a project I am overseeing. We’re both offended with how this was handled by the VP, are we overreacting?

I recently went from having an incredibly open and intimate long-term relationship with a person I was certain I was going to marry… to now getting asked “what’s your favorite color” on a first date. Godddd I hate dating sometimes

Did anyone complete NNN?

👀 we changed the cover art

Can I over boil my pasta water?

How comfortable you guys feel wearing suits? I feel more comfortable and confident wearing jeans and button down than on suits. I understand I need to suit up for executive meetings.

Sales people are most definitely not my people

Grinder is so much more convenient for hookups. Anything similar for straight men?

Can I ask a cop to stay outside my door if I feel threatened at home?

I never doubted myself, but I doubted you
I'm tired of looking at myself in my rear view

Worst migraine ever. Still got it since Wednesday night

Am I the only one who’s bothered and slightly worried about the EV trend. The imminent death of ICE is kinda sad. I saw a Porsche 964 EV conversion video the other day, fast car sure but no soul 😔🥲

Management at my company are less concerned about helping us finish our projects and more concerned about what time we came in this morning.

Question for those who are married or about to be : how did you know he/she was the one? And how long did it take you to realize it?

Growing up was rough. On my 8th birthday my dad had an accident that led to this death a few days later. He was a good man who took care of us all (I had 3 siblings now 2; lost 1 few years ago). I'm in a good place in life right now I only find myself in the last 5years shedding a tear once a while when I'm alone. It startles me because I was a tough kid who didn't cry and just soaked it all in and rolled with it. I'm almost 40 and can't explain what's happening with these tears.

I feel like a failure as a parent at times - my youngest daughter is extremely anxious about middle school and in the first week has already had two emotional breakdowns. She is so worried about people picking on her and not having friends. I have reached out to the counselor and principal with hopes to get her some support in school, but I can’t do anything to make it better. I feel like I should be able to do more than encourage her but I know some battles she had to fight on her own.

I loathe Monday morning meetings. We have a monthly team meeting at 8:00am PT and it makes me so mad! 😂 It’s always on a Monday, and I have the hardest time getting motivated for them. Normally I wake up at 6:30am, check the news, stocks, shower, eat breakfast, get dressed and start answering emails at 8am.. no speaking meetings until 10am. However, on the team meeting Monday’s, I’m scrambling to do my morning routine and get setup to present/share my screen.. I hate them. We all hate them lol!

When I have more salsa then I do chips, I always pour the crumbs in and eat it up Ethiopian food style
