28M, been single 4 months. Just started dating a 21F, one month in. She wants me to unfollow my ex. I don’t follow any of my other exes, only my recent ex that I was with for 5 years. I don’t follow any of my other exes as they had all ended badly in some shape or form (lying, cheating etc.) but my recent ex and I ended things on good, amicable terms (we just realised we wouldn’t be happy with each other long term). Because I was with her for 5 years and we ended amicably, (cont’d in comments)

My girlfriend does these small “sacrifices”, such as waiting for me to have lunch, doesn’t matter how long it takes. Or not sleeping next to me on a three hour drive when I am driving, despite being sleepy. I do appreciate this, but it makes me very uncomfortable, because now I would be expected to do the same and I don’t want to. How do I convey this without sounding thankless? I realize this is not exactly coming out of a concern for her, but a selfish want to avoid reciprocating.

Just graduated, took the bar last week and start at a firm paying market in October. I’m trying to figure out how to squeeze value from the grace period or whether I should refinance my federal loans. Refinancing: Federal loans are at 7.8% but SoFi is offering 5.56 APR on a 5 yr plan and 5.76 APR on a 7 yr plan for all of my loans. May be able to get a better offer by reapplying before the grace period ends in November but after I have paid some of the principal off. Any advice?

Hi! I support a high level c suite exec and am very close with them. I know they are very happy with my work but the firm cannot offer me a perm role (currently on as contract). They are known to be quite quick tempered (although never to me, it’s just one of those relationships where I’m like the golden child iykyk). But I’m interviewing for FT roles bc I need the benefits. When the day comes, how do I let my exec down easy? I think it surprise them and let them down a bit

How to level set expectations with your C-suite exec? Had incident where my exec got upset with me over something that wasn’t entirely my fault. briefly mentioned why there was a misunderstanding and they didn’t care and still chose to blame me. Then, i found out they brought it up to someone else and conveniently left out the reason why there was a mixup. I work at a smaller firm where i wear many hats. There’s no clear communication from my exec and i feel like it puts me in a position to fail

Can anyone else relate to this and provide guidance? Work has been really busy the past few months as I’m covering for my boss out on leave. I was never asked if I wanted to take this on it was just given to me. I’ve brought up it’s too much at work, but no support. I fear that it’s impacting my relationship as I’m way less present, always tired, and spend extra hours working. My partner is understanding, but still thinks I am working too much.

My ex and I have been divorced for 6 years yet neither of us has moved on. We are best friends and he is still in love with me. I would be willing to give it another shot except for one thing... I am no longer physically attracted to him. He's a smoker and very badly needs to go to the dentist but he won't. He is an absolute sweetheart and good-looking otherwise. I don't want to hurt his feelings. What do I do?

I am scared because my firm is not doing well, and all the layoffs. I come from poverty and am only now reaching financially stability. I’ve started building an emergency/layoff preparedness fund. I've saved 8k so far in 4 months. The goal is to save $1,800 per month until I have 6 months of savings. How: I’ve stopped eating out, no vacations, or frivolous spending, and now that money is my savings goal each month.

Advice please: Ex broke up with me a year, biggest heartbreak of my life. He keeps texting and coming back with breadcrumbs, and then leaves when he’s gotten validation. We have a lot of mutual friends but I really want to unfriend him on IG so he can’t have access to me. Scared it will cause drama BUT his breadcrumbing and the power he has over me is draining me and not letting me move on. What to do?
