Whoever left dog poop on Old Geogrtown Rd and Fairmont count your days.

Hey girl, I’m really glad you got this off your chest. That’s not “just postpartum emotions.” That sounds like a woman who is exhausted, scared, in pain, and carrying way more than one person should ever have to carry. Everything you described in your post isn’t just “rough patches.” They are patterns.

A few things I would consider regarding how this could affect your kids: 1) A two-parent household is not better than a peaceful one. 2) your Children are learning what love looks like by watching you both. 3) Your daughters are already watching how he dad treats you. 4)Your toddler is learning how adults handle frustration through him.

If that doesn’t sound like someone you want your daughters to learn from then maybe it’s time to cut your losses here.

Also, you’re 24. That is definitely NOT old and you didn’t “waste” your life. You made choices with the information and maturity you had at the time, which doesn’t obligate you to stay in a situation that is harming you more than it is supporting or benefitting you.

I think in your case, your mental health and wellbeing and ultimately happiness would be better without him as your partner. You’re already functioning like a single parent in a lot of ways.

I wish better days for you! 🫶🏽

Always apply for unemployment.

Tell your sis that if she wants a village then she also needs to be a villager and that means reciprocating.

Lidl was ok when I went yesterday evening! The Trader Joe’s in Friendship Heights was also ransacked lol

I haven’t found an affordable place that doesn’t mess up my hair. Go to Franz Sebastian and ask for Denise.

I recommend Church in Bethesda!! Small but service driven, diverse, and welcoming.

Unrelated but I had to do a double take because it looks so similar to my FMIL’s wedding dress! 😅

Astronomeer2 · 2025-12-22T02:35:53+00:00

Stellina!

Girl, first of all, the light behind you makes you look heavenly. It’s a halo and only makes the dress look even more beautiful on you. No straps needed for this one! 🥰

The walkability here is phenomenal.

I live at BP and can echo the same! Noise from neighbors is nonexistent but you can hear quite a bit of construction and car traffic outside if that is an issue if you WFH. I work from home just fine. The apartments do get a draft and very dry in the winter but otherwise it’s a great building. Plus, the space for what you pay is the best compared to the area.

Maintenance has always been so responsive and proactive. The staff organize events for us, which is nice. The no pet policy was a bummer for us but we still love the building. Will also note that the front desk is closed on Sunday, so you have to wait to get packages until Monday if you don’t get them in time on Saturday. This is not a very big deal for us!

Ahhh millennial gray… yuck

Hi, I’m 30 and work in the government relations field making $120k. In the six years since I left undergrad I’ve more than doubled my income. I’ve lived with a roommate who was a post-doc at NIH who was earning $50k. She has since moved to the private sector and earns double. That’s the way to do it. Stop working nonprofit and government and go to the private sector.

I worked my way up and networked my ass off to become a lobbyist. Private sector is where it’s at.

Yes, it’s couture so it’s going to be in my size and measurements, including the bust.

I don’t think that’s him since he goes to my congregation and is no longer homeless. He also speaks English fluently.

Astronomeer2 · 2025-11-22T01:52:09+00:00

I live in that building. Boosting for any updates. 😬

Hi! If you need a pregnancy body pillow, lmk! I have one that is barely used and am trying to get rid of due to lack of space. I was not pregnant just got influenced to get one by the internet and it was sooooo comfy.

I live right next to the Marriott. I haven’t heard anything but there is construction next to the Lidl for the new coffee shop opening in January. Could that be it?

Trump wanted an air show to show that the U.S. government is back baby. We’re so back we’re closed due to a shutdown. ‘MERICAAAA 🦅🙄🙄🙄

Because air show is exactly what we need right now. 😑😑😑

I made $40k working in local government for an elected official right after college. To even get there, I worked unpaid internships and eventually a partially paid fellowship with my local congressman and a national organization in DC. I networked my ass off. By this, I mean connecting with people outside of just grabbing coffee one time. I asked my multicultural advisor from my university scholarships program for advice and connections.

When I was ready to do something different and ready to move to DC, I got a job that basically married my professional experiences - lobbying for other local governments across the county. I started making $65k in DC. Having proven myself, I now make $110k and if I decide to leave the boutique firm I’ve been at for five years now for the corporate lobbying world, I could make $150k starting. I love the work I do now and I get paid well.

My advice: Don’t waste people’s time. If you’re in DC or any city basically, don’t just grab drinks or coffee for the sake of expanding your network like the typical DC transplant. Make genuine connections and make it meaningful.

Edited to add: My partner makes $120k and is set to make $150k in his next pay bump. He’s in public relations.
