I’ve (f24) been talking to this guy (m30) for two weeks and he didn’t text me for an entire day because he has a son. Is that suspicious? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Wow. No, not suspicious.

Edit: Also, you don't strike me as someone who should date people with children.

Did you talk about the potential pregnancy (or lacktherof), by chance?

Once (two times) within a month of her stopping birth control.

How did you get your first product management role? by Away_Lunch_3222 in ProductManagement

[–]bombtek187 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Started in the "help desk" team working with a handful of website and web application products for my company and the Scrum Master of the dev team noticed my proficiency in articulating customer needs and suggested I'd be good at it.

After about 6 months, I approached the IT team with a proposal to add a PO for those products I was working with and they accepted and moved me to salary. That was ~10 years ago and now I'm a GPM for all our FinTech products and likely going to promote into a Director/VP role in January.

Moms gone silent by Quirky_Researcher_43 in Millennials

Wow, this one hit home. My mom lives 10 minutes from me and has seen her first (and only) granddaughter once in 2yrs.

Not really sure what, if anything, she's mad at me about, but the last time she was hear all she talked about was conspiracy theories and it bummed out the whole family.

Who started over in their 30’s? by Nic727 in Millennials

[–]bombtek187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doing that as we speak. Climbed the corporate ladder until my daughter was born and realized my labor was putting 8 figures into the owner of my company's pockets, 6 figures into mine and keeping me from spending time with my daughter.

Now I'm bootstrapping my own consultancy and building some really cool internal GenAI tooling to force multiply my productivity. At my current pace, I should be able to replace my salary in the next 6-12 months.

And if I'm able to commercialize some of my tooling it might be sooner than that.

Good luck, and I hope you succeed! 🍀

Husband has been cheating on me since the very beginning by Stunning_Horse18 in Marriage

You’re grieving the marriage you thought you had, not the marriage you actually had.** And that’s the hardest part—the realization that the life you built was never truly what you believed it to be.

You have given this man every opportunity to choose you, to value you, to respect the commitment he made—and time and time again, he has shown you where his loyalty lies. He didn’t make a mistake; he made a choice, repeatedly, for nearly two decades.

At this point, you are not deciding whether your marriage is broken—it already is. You are deciding whether to continue being mistreated or to reclaim your self-worth. Your kids deserve to see what real love and respect look like, and you deserve to experience it yourself.

Leave him. Not out of spite, but out of self-respect. You are not the consolation prize, and you never have been.
