Working moms in Seattle… could you use a moms night out? Like leave kids with partner on a Friday night, have vent/rant session with some fellow moms, go to a rooftop bar, or Sunday morning pedicure type of hangout? If so, tell me how I can meet you?! Is there a “moms go out” club? Seattle freeze is getting to me!

My younger brother likes a girl from his college but will not tell her or go out with her. He won’t tell us why but we suspect it’s because the girl, although very pretty, isn’t as ‘slim’ as a conventionally good looking person. We also suspect his guy friends don’t consider the girl to be a great catch (!). We can tell he is struggling with this but not sure what to do. Has this ever happened to you? How can I help my brother break out of this? 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 ....

Sometimes my complete lack of empathy and compassion makes me feel like I’m a monster. Like if something tragic happens to my friend’s family, I don’t feel anything and dread having to fake my reactions. I have a sister I haven’t seen nor talked to in over a decade. Not like we had a fallout. I just don’t particularly care about her or pretty much about anyone else. In a different life, I think I could have been a serial killer.

So long story short- I met a guy 6 months ago, we dated, for several reasons it didn’t work out. In the end, he broke it off. I basically did a social media cleanse of him because 1) I thought it was healthier and 2) he broke up with me in quite an awful way (had sex with me and then told me he prefers someone else and wanted to end things). Now he has asked to follow me on Instagram…. Why do guys do stupid shit like this?

I don’t understand how someone can lie about loving you for 6 months. We were together for almost a year (broke up a week before our anniversary). I said I love you first and he said it back. I asked for more reassurance last month with saying I love you more often. Now all of a sudden he said he didn’t know if he loved me and that love meant marriage for him. Okay well great thanks for telling me this now, 6 months after it was initially exchanged. I don’t understand how he could do that.

What’s a family secret that everyone in your family knows but doesn’t talk about?

I’ll go first, in the 70s my grand father immigrated to another country and had a whole second family with another woman. There are children from both families that are the same age. No one knew anything about it until the early 2000s when my uncle went to visit him and learned about this whole other family. My grandmother still stayed with this man and all of the siblings pretended like it didn’t happen.

I need advice. I met an amazing guy on a dating app. We talked for 4 months and most of the convo was sexual. I fell so hard for him and it was because when we met up in person he was so kind, caring, and respectful towards me. He never initiated conversation with me first, but if I messaged him, he would respond back immediately. Then after 4 months he ghosted me on the app we were talking on. I texted him and he told me he had a gf. I am completely heartbroken. What kind of behavior was this?
