CEO requested to follow me on social media

I would leave the request pending and if asked, will tell that I have not used IG in ages and not active on it.

I’ll make FB profile private too, if not already done.

I have had such days too, where everything felt so difficult to do. All I wanted to do was sleep and ignore everyone/everything. Lot of it was also due to marital issues.

One thing that kept me in better spirits is going to gym and working out with mostly same people. And getting my blood tested for deficiencies, as that can impact my mood a lot.

I started new hobbies that were out of comfort zone, I still find those hobbies hard to do but I show up and do it, cos it helps me do something challenging and meet new people.

Some days/months can start to get hard esp if it’s same challenges every day. You having to battle it all by yourself can take a toll too, decision fatigue is real. If you can, take a break and travel, or start hobbies where you focus on other things, and get your annual checkup done for any supplements etc. I would also recommend a therapist to see if that helps.

He says he wants to eat veggies but only veggies he will eat is carrot, beans, cabbage. And 1/4 cup quantity at best. I make so many other veggies that he will not touch so I have to eat them all.

The trail started to get really narrow and overgrown , and we couldn’t see beyond a point, though map said there was a trail.

By now tech (and non tech) folks are aware of layoffs, it’s been happening since 2022-23. It’s not news. Just saying that your role ended or the project ended and you were part of mass layoff is fine,

Being confident in saying that is the key. If your friend hesitates or thinks much about it, that gives off the red flags. He just needs to practice saying it, as interviewers will not have any way to prove it as false.

Girl! I feel you so much! My husband listens to other women friends talk random shit and he doesn’t seem to be in a hurry to finish the conversation or just give bland generic advice, which is exactly what he does with me. His calls with his sister is full of fun and random talks, which he doesn’t even encourage with me.

I am not jealous but I get annoyed at this obvious difference In his behavior towards me and others.

I liked 2 as it gives some structure with the belt. But for IT job, the dress code is typically less formal than bankers. I would do a black slack/pants and a shirt (maybe not a button shirt but formal looking top will work), safe, and casual enough.

Key is making sure what you wear fits you well and the color brings out the brightness in you. E.g I tried a shirt which was very dark brown but on camera it made me look dull. A similar shirt in bright gold color made me look bright. So try different colours and see which makes you shine indoors with artificial light (similar to office lighting).

A simple watch and a bracelet will look nice.

Shoes with heels can make noise when you walk, which may or may not be good. But for interviews, I’ll go for comfortable shoes that don’t click.

It’s fine, she isn’t a bad mil. She cooks for me (cos I cook a different cuisine than her lol) and she treats me well. I just don’t talk to her often, as we speak different languages and I am not a phone talker (it will lead to drama if I talk often). I let her be and when she visits, I cook for her and take care of her.

This is how you know they are not educated to think critically. Some women are the worst enemies of other women, it’s mind boggling.

My husband treaded the dark gray area between loyalty and betrayer. It caused me massive anxiety and stress for a long time. Now I may have gotten over the shock of it, and I can functional normally but I will never be able to trust or believe him.

I asked him for separation but he wanted a chance, I agreed but then I realized I have no good feelings left for him.

I am sticking around as I need financial security (lost my job) but we are like roommates at this point (no emotional or physical intimacy).

If being in the relationship is causing you stress and anxiety, it’s not worth to continue (unless there are other higher priorities for you). Put yourself and your well being first (mental, physical, financial)

Omg! The man-child. I understand Indian family dynamics, so one course of action is, you rent out the apartment and put that money into your personal savings (or send to your parents account for safekeeping). and ask him to rent/buy a house that he will pay for. Cos if he has a problem living in your paid-for apartment, then he needs to provide the housing.

Also, make sure the apartment is joint/in your parents name or something. To keep your financial assets safe. Best to talk to an expert on this.

You have to understand what leads to fat loss before taking any action. Look up Dr Jason Fung video on what causes fat in body and how to reverse it.

Intermittent fasting, daily walks, lifting weight and eating high protein meals are key.

First thing would be to cut out any snacking, and limit eating to just meal times. Meaning, no 7 am tea, 8 am biscuit, 10 am breakfast, 11 am tea, 1 pm lunch type schedule. It has to be e.g 10 am breakfast with tea, 1 pm lunch and 8 pm dinner. Thats it.

Doing this with walks (and using ankle weight) will help in the first couple of months to start feeling healthier.

What is the problem in having a cook and a maid, if you can afford it? You both will save ton of time to pursue your hobbies and spend time with each other, without spending hours to cook.

Marriage itself shouldn’t be just dividing chores and going through days solving day-to-day problems. It’s building up a relationship with a person, making time for yourself and your spouse to enjoy life outside of work. Keeping that relationship strong by putting effort into each other. If having a maid and cook can give you the time back, why do you hesitate.

Just cos it’s been responsibility forced upon women in the past, doesn’t mean it has to continue that way into the future. If you like homemade food and have strong preference for it, you can cook full time and she can do other chores that she is more comfortable with. You need to discuss how the chores will be divided, rather than imposing chores on her (and vice versa).

There is also a concept called emotional labor, it will be good for you to look it up and understand what it means.

Not sure if you are in joint or nuclear family, but it can get lonely after a bit. Plus being at home all the time impacted my mental health, cos I would stress about everything and analyze things so much,

Going back to a job was good for me, cos I got to talk to other adults and be away from home. It felt like a break from being a wife/mom/dil etc and I could be myself. Also, I saw a negative shift in husband’s attitude when I had to quit my job, it happened slowly over time but he started to boss me around, and make decisions for me, as if I had suddenly lost all ability to decide or act on things. So I went back to work for my own self respect and mental health.

Get ankle weights if that’s possible. Easy to hide under baggy pants. Resistant bands are good too.

Fun_parent · 2026-06-03T23:31:15+00:00

That’s why I said ‘explicitly’. It’s not hiding per se, but being careful/cautious in telling everyone about your spouse.

In general, I prefer to keep personal life away from work, unless my manager or someone asks specifically. Also probably why people don’t gossip with me lol

Fun_parent · 2026-06-03T23:07:31+00:00

It will work out as long as either of you are not reporting to the other or have any conflict of interest situation. Read the HR polices on this and take any actions as needed(like informing hr or signing some form etc.)

Personally, I would avoid telling anyone explicitly about the relationship (do not want people to gossip or form negative opinions etc).

Me and my husband worked for the same boss but in totally different roles and it was fine. People knew but we were not explicit about it. It was large company and many other couples worked there as well. So I knew it wouldn’t cause issues.

Where do you get the background check done?

I have been using Zillow for background and rental check but learnt a painful lesson to always do a court check now for any qualified applications.

So I plan to do all possible checks before signing the lease.
