My husband and I started a YouTube channel. The script writing, editing, research, narration... all done by me while also doing a full time job. My husband mostly does the shorts.

I spent months on a long form video which I finally uploaded. Only for it to get 75 views and 1 very sincere and encouraging comment.

While I enjoy the process all this takes so long. How do you guys manage everything?

My husband was employed with a multi national company when he married me. And I had just started my business. Because he had business experience in the past (it had to shut down because of covid), and because it was always his dream to have a good roaring business, I told him to take the plunge, get into business with me and let's have the experience of a lifetime. And since he too is an optimist at heart like I am, he decided to take that chance. Well. Reality hit soon enough. Our business was not self sustaining and after 1.5 years, we had no option but to shut it down. We spent another 6 months trying to figure out some way to revive it. Or start another business. Nothing worked out.

I took up a job. The plan was by then he could build something of his own. Looks like we have some bad luck. Nothing is working out, not even stock market investing. We did start a YouTube channel which we Qantas to run as a business. Well the growth is slow and that takes time.

So.... with a sense of defeat, my husband is making his resume as we speak. It's a bitter moment for us. Are we accepting defeat by taking the "safe route?" Are we unworthy of the "entrepreneurial mindset" of grinding no matter what? Have we lost the game?

We have to start from scratch and everyone has gone ahead of us. That's what hurts. His brother started a business which clicked. He got the support at the right time. Somehow, his decisions all bore success. The friends who were "not brave enough" to "take the plunge" have all progressed in the corporate ladder. And now my husband and me look at each other. Having to start from scratch. With no help. No guidance. And a lurking fear that our dream of starting our own solid business will just remain a pipe dream.

Any young married couples out there looking to socialize? We married 3 years ago, have no kids and are just looking to make more friends as a couple. We stay near Kompally. Hit us up if you too are looking to socialize!

My husband is new to the city and wants to meet new people here with shared interests. He is 32, FYI, though age is not really important when it comes to meeting cool people! We are in the Kompally area of Hyderabad

My husband and I have been married for 3.5 years. God really gave me the sweetest, most loving husband. We love each other dearly. But other than having each other, none of our plans have succeeded. I had asked him to move here to my city as this has more growth potential, and my family is here. Most guys would not move but he did. I thought it was a good decision but nothing has taken off here. Our business which we started together failed. We have no friends here. We have been actively trying for a baby for 3 years and we have had no success. We are comfortable financially but... nothing is growing other than the bare minimum. Hubby got into stock investing and just as it was picking up the war turned everything upside down (our country's market has really taken a hit). We tried to start a catholic YouTube channel but the lukewarm response leaves us feeling demotivated. We go to church every Sunday, I take part in the choir. We pray. We do everything

Yet we see the ones who don't take their religion so seriously having thriving businesses and making money and having all the help and guidance and assistance needed. We have no one to guide us. God is just silent. Almost like he is indifferent to our trials even though we ask him what the next step is. Just silence. We are at a dead end. And are so discouraged

I keep posting every time I get my period, and kind people respond but for how long can I say the same thing and for how long should they respond with the same words? I was so sure I made it this month. A whole new set of symptoms. All for nothing. My brother in law's engagement is in July and all the family will be there. I dread meeting them all and having to respond to their questions. 4 years of marriage and 3 years of trying. Husband and I are sure his brother (younger by 5 years) and his new wife will conceive before us. Will be a bit of an embarrassment. I dread the future .

It's one of those low days.
