Would you date someone who is also in consulting?
My partner recently joined a consulting firm and they are constantly asking for help and advice on their work/excel/pptx... I've always loved helping her with her things, but now it feels a bit annoying. I don't want to think about work related things after finishing my work, but I also don't want to feel like an a-hole by not helping...

My spouse is a teacher. I’ve been grading student assignments since we’ve started dating. My spouse used to help me with PPT. Teachers are good at PPT.

Lol good plan

My partner is a solution architect. I got so annoyed hearing him explain the same stuff over and over that I convinced him the solution was to create slides to communicate his points. He sucks at PPT, Excel, and Visio - so I just do it all for him. Takes me 2 hours, his boss thinks he spent 2 days, and the whole team says how amazing it is and they totally get it. He looks good at work, I’m impressive to him, and I finally get to hear new ideas on his daily calls. Win, win, win. I do save all the slides and sometimes make him do his own - “use the 3 option slide and remove the line about cost and add a section about team interoperability.” He’s learning! Sometimes I also cash in with “fix this MF code that I can’t get to run.” Teamwork!

I am overweight and this city is full of active, and attractive people. I guess I am wondering what my experience would be if I got out more?
