When you think you have made a mistake in life, when you have regrets, be gentle with yourself. Remember that you have the power to make choices. I've learned a lot about this from my friend...

I went through my gf’s phone and found out she had a crush on my best friend when we first started dating (over a year ago). I suspected this at first but it hurts to have it confirmed and see her telling her friends about him. I’m not sure how I should feel since I went out of line to look through her phone.

Serious question: if you are interested in someone but they want to wait till marriage before you know... Would you end it or wait with them?

Father of two princesses. 2 years and 4 months.

My fiancé will NOT stop talking about her ex. After I found out they were texting arguing she justified it by saying it was about the dogs and not them. Even though Her social media is full of his pics. She still sends him $50 a month for dog food, still goes to work right by his place and suspiciously needs keys. I try to bring it up and I get dismantled for being too mean and making “false accusations.” How much more obvious can it be?

Ugh, is that time of year again! Does anyone have any advice on how to handle "friends" and family members who spout conspiracy theories to avoid getting the flu shot

I’m in SF but nervous to officially come out to my friends even though I’m sure they all know/assume anyway. :(

Creative folks with kids (especially young ones): how do you avoid feeling as though you're failing everyone? Pls include whether you're a man or woman.

What do you do when your lifelong friends get married, have kids and disappear to the burbs or wherever and you’re single, lonely and gay?

I want to give a Christmas gift to the manager of the gym I go to. She’s awesome and I just really appreciate her. I can’t think of any ideas though! Can anybody think any good ones? I do not know much about her personal life except that she’s a single mother.

Any advice for 25 yr old like me?

Gf doesn't seem to make friends easily. She wants to. How do I help?

My boyfriend just found my vibe...

Would you recommend Sedona during Christmas or San Diego during Christmas with a 1.5 year old? Entertainment, safety, meaningful experience-focused.

Sedona will be much colder, possibly snowing/icy and will be hiking, hot tub, enjoying the scenery focused. San Diego will be beach, enjoying scenery focused. Both Airbnb options look beautiful. Will also have 60 year old grandparents joining

my sister died this morning. I posted about her in a past post. Alcohol addiction, liver failure and then it taxed the kidneys too much, she went into cardiac arrest at 9 am and they could not save her. She was 51. Sad day for sure. Feels odd that she is no longer here. I just wish she could have had a better future.

Colleagues, if any of you are interested in helping severely disabled combat veterans get homes adapted for their disabilities, let me know. My wife recently started working for former NFL linebacker Jared Allen and his foundation. We're trying to figure out how to leverage the power of the big consulting firms to help our brothers and sisters in need.

Hi everyone I am relocating to Hyderabad next month. Even though I look forward to meeting new people I can’t seem to ignore the fact that I will move away from family. My family situation is already complicated, my mom and dad are not on good terms so we don’t live together and when I move it’ll get worse. I am financially independent but I feel guilty for not being there for them. Is there any possibility of getting transferred to Gurgaon office(a lot closer to my home)if I talk to my manager?

I keep seeing new GD reviews about the company moving away from the hybrid work model and mandating RTO. Can any current employees explain what’s going on? I’m starting next month as a FT Director based in TX. Curious what the current remote (or lack of remote) climate is like and how employees are feeling about it.

Where is the best place to look at inspo for directors / style for TVC/OLV?

I received a TS/SCI job offer upon which I turned down for personal reasons. However, I'd completed a full-scope polygraph in the process and was wondering if I'm eligible for federal contracting roles. Does anybody know how I can determine my clearance status?

Anyone else cursed with desperately wanting someone to tell you what to do to get better, but knowing that you would never listen?

Since disconnecting with past stories my reality has drastically bent. My stories programmed my reality, attracting what I told myself I was/wasn't.

Mr. Manager is posting again y'all 🤡

Good lord this open space is insufferable

On vacation and hallucinating the Slack ping sound anytime it gets quiet.

I HATE the term ‘snackable content’. It just makes me angry! My content should be a damn steak dinner.

Wow hate the overuse of “from a ______ perspective"

I can’t stand our open office so every day I go to the bathroom and hide out for 15 minutes of sanity/checking my apps so people can’t see me “not doing work” in public.

Who has made the leap from working/living in the US to abroad? Any words of advice?

I get so frustrated and annoyed when people make stupid common sense mistakes and I think it’s starting to affect my relationships. Don’t really know what to do.

It's freezing tonight bitter cold. I just ordered Chinese and I'm not sure if that was a shitty thing to do. I think they need to make money so if no one calls that wouldn't be good. I did tip well

After a year and a half of recruiters not responding and no job prospects I’ve finally got a call back - for a barista job. I guess advertising is not for me. Back to what I did in college

After nearly a year WFH and being with my family 24/7, I’m not entirely sure we actually like each other. Or maybe they don’t like me being at home. Or they don’t like me. Probably the latter 😞

For everyone I reject in an interview: I secretly wish we can have a feedback session and I secretly wish you find something that fits you like a glove. And I mean it when I say it: all the best.

Parents - do any of you truly regret having kids?

The mornings are when I’m most productive and it never fails.. my one friend/coworker comes over to talk to me about meaningless BS every time i start getting momentum. Nice guy.. but leave me alone.

I ordered dinner with wine at the airport. They brought me two glasses. Said it was my lucky day.

I deserved it anyway

Getting sober has made me realize how bad my boss really is.
