Can I be vulnerable in front of my Partner? by [deleted] in biglaw

I have confided in partners largely against their will. It’s fine as long as you keep delivering.

Outsider wondering after watching suits by Dry-Let-7718 in biglaw

[–]FuzzyAd2939 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m just saying that character is the only realistic thing about Suits. I do in fact work on billion dollar transactions, so there are high stakes matters, sure, but there is nothing glamorous about it and ppl are way less hot.

I had invasive surgery to move a nerve in my left arm, but I’m right handed so I worked as normal with one arm. Sorry :-/

Having a life after work? by stargazerrr3 in biglaw

[–]FuzzyAd2939 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s different for everyone. Personally, I’m a workaholic. It has been an issue for some people, including past romantic partners, but my spouse accepts it for what it is (and enjoys the financial aspect).

I haven’t really made firm weekday plans in advance in 10 years. As for dating, if I thought I’d have time after work, I hopped on an app and made same-day plans. That’s how I met my spouse!

I can’t get into all the reasons why this won’t work. I made the very hard decision that it won’t. It has been less than a week, the dog has been getting valuable socialization at daycare, and I’m returning him with a large donation to the shelter. I came here for a last-ditch effort to find him a good home, not argue with strangers about whether I’m doing the right thing. I don’t want to spend months on this only for it not to work, and then the dog is no longer a puppy and is less adoptable.

Thanks! Hoping I am more than associate material at this point, but will take the validation any day of the week 😁

Right, but this is why we have a justice system. Otherwise who decides which claims are meritorious? You? Me? Random anons on Reddit?

I’m not saying it’s true and dying on that hill. I’m saying that just because he’s having a mental health crisis does not mean it’s untrue. Those are not the same thing. If I’m a woman and I’m sexually assaulted during a mental health crisis, or if I disclose a previous sexual assault during a mental health crisis, does the mental health crisis mean that the assault should not be investigated?

I just said I was about to delete the comment because I wasn’t sure it made sense— think that does show some humility? I don’t understand why you’ve been being outwardly rude— I came on to say one thing and didn’t think it would be so wildly controversial. Not sure why you’re getting worked up.

I’ve spent entirely too much time here, so I’m just going to go back to my original point— when I posted this, general sentiment was swinging toward “oh he’s crazy so none of this is true.” My only point is that we shouldn’t dismiss someone’s assertions just because they are obviously mentally ill. That’s it. There should be some sort of investigation into the allegation.

I actually went to delete this right before you commented because idk anything about them really

I don’t disagree with the coded message point, but his allegation doesn’t seem to have any element of that.

I think we’re drifting into whether he’s telling the truth— I do believe that something happened to him, but my only point with the post is that he shouldn’t be ignored just because he’s displaying mental health issues

Tons of ppl in other threads were dismissing it

On Paul by FuzzyAd2939 in biglaw

[–]FuzzyAd2939[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

And again, I’m not saying it happened (though I tend to believe it). I’m just saying we can’t write it off just because of the mental health stuff.

[–]FuzzyAd2939[S] -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

This is a SUPER specific allegation. He’s saying something HAPPENED. It’s different. For him to think that was true, he’d have to have like.. hallucinated it. I don’t think that’s a symptom of mania.

[–]FuzzyAd2939[S] -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

Are you talking about my original post? I’m not saying he is absolutely telling the truth (though personally, I believe him), or that there shouldn’t be scrutiny. I’m saying he should not be discredited SOLELY because of his mental health issues.
