My husband and I divorced 8 years ago. We’re 35 now. He was my high school sweetheart. When we divorced I never moved on. I always loved him and I always will. Niether if us even tried to date anyone else. We divorced for a pretty stupid reason tbh. He was a just being very flirtatious with women from his work and it eventually ended in him (consentually) grabbing a female co workers butt. That ended up as a divorce. No affairs, nothing physical other than that. He was very honest about it. we always got along and we (obviously) still get along very well. He is a very good man.

My mom always told me I’m “too good” for him and basically that leaving him was the best thing that ever happened. My dad too. Everyone on my side of the family really doesn’t like him for no reason, even though I always have defended him.

Long story short, we talk a lot still but a few months ago when we were hanging up he said “I love you” and I said “what?” And he said “I love you [my name]” and i felt butterflies like I haven’t felt since high school. I said “I love you too” after a while we slowly started flirting with each other and a few weeks we even went on a secret date. I told the kids it was a business dinner.

After a few more secret dates he asked me if we can all be a family again. He swore he will never do what he did. He promised me. He said I can go through his phone whenever go to his work whenever I want. He said he will be mine and mine only and that was the worst mistake he ever made.

I said I have to really think about it but last night I made my decision. I said yes. I haven’t told our children yet. I haven’t told my family yet. I have no clue what to do. My kids will probably be very happy but my family will hate me forever. How do I tell my kids and family about my decision?

Edit: I just want to clarify a few things. Yes, we WILL be in couples therapy. Also, no. We are not remarrying any time soon. As of right now I consider him my boyfriend and I am his girlfriend. That is IT. All he wants is to do things as a family again, and make our relationship known with our children.

Hi all,

Recently I was offered a job and put up one month notice. I have send an email to my boss and proceed to upload the email in the system for HR to process.

Few hours later my boss called me and scolded me for being irresponsible person and give nasty remarks about me.

She also claim I did not inform before hand informally. However I have inform my boss one week ago and have the intention to leave the company and have already handed over outstanding/routine task to my colleague.

I have also explained that most important paperwork is done and only left monitoring. After the phone call, I am confused and shock for the whole day.

I believe I got the right to resign and I also done my part in work. So my boss want to have exit interview with me. I requested through phone but was turned down and was expected to have the interview face to face in office.

I am just curious what the chance of being scolded when you give one month notice and also during exit interview, what should I say to avoid burning bridges?

Advance thanks to all.

The intimacy with my husband is bad. I dread having to sleep with him because of how bad it is. Plus he does not turn me on. No foreplay. The whole thing last 2 minutes with occasional awkward eye contact during this time.

He came home very late yesterday. The idea of him having a mistress floated in my head and I actually felt joy.

Why did I marry him if I knew he wasn’t skilled?- in the beginning we did discuss what we liked. He told me something completely different than what he actually did when it came time to perform. He initially attempted a bit of foreplay in the beginning, but after marriage all of that stopped.

Why don’t you communicate? – I know it’s partly my fault but he makes fun of me or calls me weird for even discussing it now. He has also joked in the past that he does not care if his partner comes or not, as long as he does. He also laughs after we do it, so I don’t even know how to bring it up. The whole thing has been strange.

Why don’t you go to therapy? – We need to even see a regular therapist before we see a focused therapist. I’ve tried to ask him to see a couples counselor in the past, he would not go. I doubt he would be willing to go to a therapist for this, plus I feel to embarrassed to ask.

Are you cheating on him? – No. I’m also not interested in being unfaithful. I feel like I’ve made my bed now I have to lay in it. It is not a deal breaker for me.

Hello everyone.

As described in the title, I feel useless as an intern. For obvious reason I will not disclose the specifics of my internship but for context I will say that I am a polytechnic student who just began their internship journey a few weeks back.

Is it normal to feel useless as an intern in a tech company? I’ve been asking my colleagues for help on my work, not without initial attempts and efforts of course, but I feel that I am asking too much from them. I worry that I make others think of me as incompetent.

To be frank, I would call myself a slow worker, but I always try to make up for it by putting extra effort such as having to work past working hours. I’m unsure whether my colleagues will see my efforts or see me as an added burden, but having to deal with the thought of not being up to their expectations gives me constant stress and anxiety.

So once again, is it normal to feel useless as an intern? Are high levels of stress and anxiety experienced by new interns to be expected? How do I know if I am doing just fine or doing poorly?

I’m genuinely hoping to make my internship journey a positive one and I’ll appreciate everyone’s answers and opinions as I am looking for ways to ease my mind off of this topic.
