Worth moving to Seattle AND starting a temporary long-distance relationship... for a job at Microsoft?

Got an amazing offer (non-engineering) at MS but would have to move to Seattle. My long-term boyfriend and I live together on the east coast. We're about age 30. Trying to decide if it's worth trying out the move solo (on a temporary basis) if his job doesn't allow him to go remote and move. My relationship is my #1 priority but we both also understand the value of a job like this

In a pickle here. I love dogs and SO not so much. However, we’ve been dog sitting this 8 month old pupper for one day every week since the last 2-3 weeks and it has completely converted my wife into a dog lover. I’m emotionally attached to this dog but very quickly realized this is very temporary. Plus, I don’t think either of us are ready to get a dog full time - I am assuming there will be a lot of work around it. Any suggestions on how to not get so attached with this cute lil one?

Advice needed please 🙏🏻 for datings apps: when should one reveal that one has a kid?? I’m 38F with a 5 year old and I get the impression men run miles from me

I internally scoff every time someone who worked 60h+ week and travel extensively says that their family comes first. I grew up in the circle of kids in similar circumstances and I cannot stress enough how delusional that is. So many kids who treat their parents like a fountain of cash with a bit of love sprinkled in. At least a fair amount of the parents learnt to regret it later on in life.

Is going through a “hoe phase” an appropriate response to a break up? On one hand I think it’s good to get out of your head, but on the other hand it might be used to avoid the core issue.

Ok ok plot twist: he’ll propose to Madison and she’ll say NO! Cause she realized how different they truly are... then he goes after Hannah cause his mom told him she was an angel sent from above 😂 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hey ladies, how would you like to get proposed to? In front of family and friends or in a more intimate location? Or would you prefer it be done in a more exotic or exciting location?

I’m an attractive 42 year old happily married mother of 4. I’m not drop dead gorgeous but a 8/10. Dads of my kids friends text me to invite my kids to activities and additional sport practices. I’m pretty naive and assume they’re doing it because they like my kids. I don’t want to send the wrong message by accepting. Are they interacting with me because of my kids or because I’m attractive? If I bring my kids to the functions am I sending a message that I’m interested in something else?

I don’t know if I can do this job. I’m on some insane engagements for the next few months, and I don’t know how I’m supposed to balance the crazy hours and my personal life/relationship. I’m really...

my boyfriend admitted to me today that he feels like my stomach is "bigger than he initially thought". we met on a dating app and have been together 4 months. he says that i looked thinner in my photos.

the pictures i had were recent/present-day so im confused. im 5'10 and a sz. 12. im definitely not skinny, but am curvy in some areas and was always comfortable with my body. i asked him if he thinks im fat or if he's not attracted to me and he says no. so im like, well why did you say that?

I have a student who is a strong writer and wants to be a blogger. How can I support her in this?

Sometimes I hear stories of men who send money back to their parents, but when my dad was alive and I tried to give him money, he just got angry at me and they gave me double what I tried to give them. Why wouldn’t they take it from their daughter, but they’ll take it from their son?

2 of my best friends who were dating for over 9 years just broke up and I feel like I’m going through the breakup with them as well. I’m sad I won’t get to hang out w/ both of them at the same time

I fake talking on the phone sometimes when my roommate is hopped up on Adderall and wants to chat about 40 things in a minute

Do you pursue friendships with colleagues or do you actively avoid it?

Looking for relationship advice: I got married 18 months ago. It wasn't an arranged marriage at all but we had done long distance for a long time before we got married so hadn't lived together or even been in the same city for more than a few weeks at a time for a few years before getting married. Now, that we have been married, I don't feel like I am that attracted to her physically/ intellectually. To give context, a lot of people will and do call her attractive& fun...(continued in comments)

I filed an ethics complaint in early June, and after going up the chain and calling out nothing was done on it, and I was being gaslighted/my personal life being used to show I am the problem in early October, I met with the execs in Ethics. The initial meeting, they gaslighted me, and then tone was better in the second meeting. Now 2-3 weeks later, General Counsel wants to see me. What should I do? Should I be worried? I have sought counsel outside of the company. This is huge fintech company.

Hello!
I am very new to the States and am actually from India.
I have always been a girl who had many friends and was never alone.
I don't have any friends here unfortunately and wanted to ask if there are any Facebook groups or other forums especially for Indians who want to interact with each other.

In general, you can also give me tips on how to make friends.

For those of you who got into FAANG or other tech company as a dev (swe, DS, DevOps, etc...) How did you word/express your resume to show that you worked on an internal product/platform?

I feel like there's a lot of client facing dev roles or dev roles that rotate a lot of projects. I think real tech companies have a bias towards devs from consulting companies due to this... But I've personally been working on a long term platform at Deloitte.
