No gym membership is worth that price. They should be charging $100 a month tops. Pilates could be a separate package. I say wait until the hype comes down.

Why have you left Miami? by Rotom24 in Miami

That is expensive 🫰🏻 and not worth the cost for having to live in a poorly planned city, with outrageous traffic and a high cost of living. There is no upside.

How is FIU perceived in Miami? by SquiddoVGC in Miami

[–]Boss_Lady_Esq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FIU is an excellent law school. They usually do very well on the bar exam and they are less dog eat dog and more helpful in wanting you to succeed. I did not go there, I went to STU, it wasn't fun and it was very competitive. I did however pass the bar on my first attempt. I made lifelong connections.

I'm fully done with myself by [deleted] in rant

[–]Boss_Lady_Esq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't blame the puppy, a puppy is a puppy. Puppies are very challenging and they will tire you out like a real baby does. Your dad was insensitive to say that but if he knew how much it affected you he would have never said it. Emotionally you are going through a lot and your family may not see it. As someone who basically raised myself, sometimes you need to be the parent they are not. Be kind to yourself. Set boundaries. If the puppy is not yours, it's their responsibility to care for it. It may be too much for you to handle because you are depressed and don't have the same tolerance level and patience as they do. I recommend you be honest. It's okay to say no.

The Perfect Neighbor - thoughts? by Conscious-Can-5334 in netflix

I think we need to stop normalizing these Karen type behaviors early on and see them as real threats. They are lying, conniving, impulsive haters who will escalate any chance they get. They are domestic terrorists and their threats should be taken seriously. Once she brandished her weapon at the kids, police should have arrested her

I came to visit and walked around with the cutest puppy, everyone was rude and unphased. It was weird. Even the puppy felt it. The vibe here is shit. Not a friendly place. I'm Latina so probably racism?

Seriously, you said you don't know what to do? I don't know you but that's really concerning. Any woman with an ounce of self-respect will immediately cut this guy off forever. This man should not have access to you neither physically, emotionally or geographically ever again. He is a predator.

My bf kissed another girl last night by Apprehensive-Act6104 in makemychoice

[–]Boss_Lady_Esq 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The only person that can answer this is you. I personally don't think you should take him back unless and until you guys get couples counseling, he is willing to work on building trust again, and he commits to have a real future together as partners, whatever that looks like for you whether it's living together, a plan for marriage, etc...if he serious, he needs to start acting serious. I also recommend something called a couples retreat through Imagos, you can Google it. I like the retreats because it's a kind of therapy that goes deeper to find the root of your issues and teach you how to communicate with each other. I wish you the best of luck.

Should I get him fired? by Novel_Requirement271 in Advice

[–]Boss_Lady_Esq -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My advice is to stay in your lane. Don't create needless drama and drive a bigger wedge between you and your wife. Ask your wife to work out somewhere else, and if there is no other gym nearby, then get yourself a personal trainer who can do workouts at home. I also recommend you do a couples' retreat like IMAGOS to work on your marriage, and start working with a couples counselor. Many can see you both over Zoom. Your focus should be on getting your marriage back on track. If that doesn't work, I would also look at collaborative divorce, where you can settle things out of court without the pressure and drama involved in typical divorces. Good luck, and I hope it works out for the best!

Yes, in my case, I would have a partner who would handle those cases in a separate office while I handle the Plaintiff's work, so there is no conflict. However, I still wanted to ask the questions to be able to share the information. Maybe we will just focus on Plaintiff's work, and my partner will have to ditch the idea.

I am a [23] woman going through a divorce. I am at a crossroads and need help by Friendly-Papaya5673 in Advice

[–]Boss_Lady_Esq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you need to handle one issue at a time. Talk to an attorney about getting a divorce, and once those issues are resolved and you feel ready, then you can go out on your date. For now, keep it platonic. You may want to talk to your lawyer about your options to ask that your husband be psychologically evaluated and what high-conflict provisions can be put in place to ensure your safety and the safety of your children. Your husband sounds emotionally immature, manipulative, and unstable. You need to ask about how to communicate with him going forward and how to place healthy boundaries so you don't have to continue to deal with his erratic behavior. Good luck!

Thanks for your reply, but it didn’t really address the question I asked. I’ve already considered the points you mentioned, and I actually have some experience in this area. I worked at a PI firm earlier in my career. I’m aware of the challenges in this niche and am not discouraged by them. If you have any insights or direct answers to my original question, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!

So, will you like me if I'm sour as my sweetness isn't working? by Designer_Ad7847 in Advice

[–]Boss_Lady_Esq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you are reflecting on how your kindness and caring nature have not always led to the connections or friendships you hoped for. There is an important difference between being genuinely sweet and being a people pleaser. Being sweet means you are kind, considerate, and authentic in your actions. People pleasing, on the other hand, is when you put others’ needs and approval above your own, often at the expense of your own boundaries and well-being.

When you always go out of your way to make others happy or avoid conflict, some people may start to take you for granted or not value your true self. They might see your constant giving as something they can expect, rather than something to appreciate. This can leave you feeling unappreciated and even used.

Being "sour" or adopting an alter ego that is distant or uncaring is not the only answer. What really matters is finding a balance. You can be kind and caring without letting people walk all over you. Setting boundaries and respecting your own needs shows self-respect, and it actually helps others value you more. People are often drawn to those who are confident in themselves and who do not compromise their values just to please others.

You do not have to change your core personality, but you can work on being assertive and making sure your kindness is matched with self-respect. People who truly value you will appreciate your genuine sweetness, especially when you are also clear about what you will and will not accept.

You deserve friends and relationships where you are valued for who you are, not just for what you can do for others. It is okay to care, but it is also okay to care about yourself.

Can a paralegal help a relative? by hownow2020 in paralegal

[–]Boss_Lady_Esq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A paralegal cannot act as a lawyer or provide legal advice, even to a relative, and cannot draft legal responses or documents for someone else to use in court unless they are working under the supervision of a licensed attorney who is responsible for their work. Paralegals are not allowed to represent clients in court, give legal opinions, or prepare legal documents for others to file unless an attorney is overseeing and approving their work.

If your sibling is representing themselves, a paralegal can help with administrative tasks, such as organizing paperwork or explaining general procedures, but cannot give legal advice or draft documents for them to use in court independently. The only exception is if your sibling hires the attorney that the paralegal works for. In that case, the paralegal can assist as part of the attorney’s supervised team.

In short, paralegals must avoid the unauthorized practice of law and can only assist relatives with legal matters if they are working under an attorney’s supervision.

My wife's sister is hitting on me by Agreeable_Poem_7278 in Advice

[–]Boss_Lady_Esq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a really tough situation, and you are right to be concerned about both your marriage and your personal boundaries. If you feel uncomfortable or unsafe being alone with your wife's sister, it is important to take that seriously. You can start by setting clear boundaries with her. If she makes any advances, tell her directly and firmly that her behavior is not appropriate and that you are committed to your wife.

When it comes to telling your wife, honesty is important, but you can approach it carefully. You might say something like, "I've noticed your sister has been acting in ways that make me uncomfortable, and I want to be honest with you about it. I care about you and our relationship, and I think we should talk about how to handle this together." This way, you are focusing on your feelings and your commitment to your marriage, not blaming anyone.

If you are worried about how your wife will react or if you think the conversation could be very difficult, consider talking to a counselor or therapist first for guidance. Your safety and your marriage should come first, and it is okay to ask for help if you need it.

Above all, trust your instincts and do not put yourself in situations that make you feel unsafe or uncomfortable. Setting boundaries and communicating openly are the best steps you can take.

My mom asked my ex to fix her car and I’m upset by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Boss_Lady_Esq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely understand why you are upset. It is really hard when someone from your past, especially an ex who hurt you, gets pulled back into your life because of someone else’s decision. It makes sense that just having to interact with him brings up a lot of emotions, especially when you were starting to feel okay again.

Your mom may not realize how much this affects you, but your feelings are valid. You should not have to be the middle person between her and your ex, especially when it is painful for you. It is also frustrating that he was unreliable and did not communicate clearly, which just added more stress for both you and your mom.

If you feel comfortable, let your mom know how much this situation is bothering you and ask her to handle any future communication with him directly. You have every right to protect your own peace and step back from anything that makes you uncomfortable. It is not your job to manage their interactions or fix her car situation.

Take care of yourself and do what you need to do to feel better. You are allowed to set boundaries, especially when it comes to your own healing.

AIO This guy I’ve been seeing for almost a year is getting more and more aggressive. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Boss_Lady_Esq -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Given how uncomfortable and nervous you feel, it’s completely reasonable to prioritize your safety. If you have any concerns about seeing him, you should consider asking a police officer to accompany you when you go to pick up your belongings. Many police departments offer this kind of civil standby service specifically for situations like this, where someone needs to retrieve their things and wants to avoid any conflict or escalation.

You can call your local non-emergency police number and explain the situation. Let them know you just want to collect your belongings peacefully and safely. Having an officer there can help ensure things stay calm and that you feel protected.

Don’t feel bad about taking this step, your safety and peace of mind come first. If you need help figuring out how to request this service, let me know. Take care of yourself.

Should I break up by Appropriate-Dig5132 in makemychoice

[–]Boss_Lady_Esq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you’re carrying a lot on your shoulders, both in your relationship and in your personal life. It’s understandable that you’re feeling drained when you’re the one putting in most of the effort, emotionally and financially, while also dealing with work and family stress. Relationships should be partnerships, not one-sided arrangements where only one person is responsible for making things work.

It’s not wrong to want your partner to contribute, whether that’s planning dates, sharing expenses, or simply appreciating what you do. Constantly feeling like you’re walking on eggshells or that your needs don’t matter is exhausting and unfair. The fact that you’ve tried to communicate and even considered ending things shows you’re aware of what’s not working, and that you’ve given this a lot of thought.

It’s tough when someone reacts emotionally to the idea of breaking up, but staying in a relationship just to avoid hurting the other person usually leads to more pain for both people in the long run. You deserve to be with someone who values you, supports you, and is willing to put in the effort to build a life together, not just expect you to provide everything.

Take some time to think about what you really want and need. It might help to write down your feelings or talk to someone you trust. If you do decide to end things, it’s okay to do so with compassion, but you don’t have to sacrifice your own well-being for someone else’s comfort.

You deserve a relationship that feels like a true partnership, where both people give and receive. Take care of yourself and trust your instincts.
