Who has time to date in big law? How did you meet your s/o? Particular app suggestions? My best friend at the firm is single and ready to mingle (kind of….when work let’s her).

If you don’t have time to date you’re doing it wrong. I go on like 2 dates a week

I met one long-term SO on Hinge as a first year (dated for 1.5 years), and then a few months after that ended found my current SO on Hinge (during the beginning of the pandemic—only FaceTimed for like 2 months at the start). I was dating pretty regularly whenever I was single. Just have to set dates on days where you are pretty sure you won’t have a “tonight” deadline, and if it’s a weeknight, be ready to work late from home after or something.

And this was all possible despite being quite busy. My lowest billable year was over 2500.

I use Hinge. It’s by far the best app IMO. And I try to plan dates for times I’m unlikely to be too busy, like weekends.

Met my hubs on eharmony while working in BigLaw. I have another friend who met her husband on POF while in biglaw. There are times to date, but it’s difficult and you’ll be busy. You just have to prioritize it. Maybe you go out for a dinner, then go home and work after. Or maybe you only meet first dates for coffee. Biglaw is such a time-suck, but at least you can have some flexibility.

Met my boyfriend in law school. We're both in big law so finding time where we are both free can be difficult but we make it work. On the bright side, we are both obviously very understanding of how demanding the job is and don't get upset when the other person gets super busy.

My husband does not show affection openly and is quite lazy in bed, and I thought I could deal with it because I love him, but it’s really really beginning to annoy me. For example, he refuses to do any foreplay and basically asks that I get on top of him most of the time when we have have sex- if I push him to do anything else he basically just refuses to have sex at all as some sort of ‘protest’. I am finding myself fantasising about an affair more and more
