Im an internal auditor whos been working in the industry for 2 years and the company is offering to pay for my CIA certificate. What they dont know is im planning to take a break and go back to school next year. My question is: is it worth studying for it during my weekends for a possibility of getting CIA cert, just to not use it nor renew it? The reason id go for it is if i end up not liking my new degree/industry, i would look for an IA job again. Would having an “expired” CIA certification years down the line help with the job search? Thanks!

Its kinda embarrassing to post this, but my ex is so charismatic, charming, and “loving” in the way that women love, that even though he emotionally cheated in all his relationships and cannot communicate well during times of hardship; all his exes break up with him then continue being obsessed with him (texting him years later, continue to hit him up or check up on his socials). Im now part of that group lol.

Anyone else have an ex like this and figured out what the pull is?
Id like to know that karma will get to him someday, but he keeps pulling high-quality women with his charm and we all stay for atleast a year (until we break it off with him but continue searching for answers and being obsessed)….

If ANYONE can share stories of how they reframed their thinking to not be bitter towards their friends’ relationships… please share bc ive been randomly crying and unable to hang with couples for 3 month🥺

Context: i broke up w bf in Sept because we’re incompatible, but the chemistry was so good we continued hanging out til January. I moved states and thought that would be the end of us but he kept texting me and stringing me along as a “friend” (my fault for letting him stay in contact with me… i enjoyed the attention too).
Come to find out he had been exclusive with another girl since January and she had told him not to text exes and yet here he was, messaging me for the whole half year…. This behavior disgusts me, yet I still had a soft spot and want to give him a chance with this new girl, so when the new girl contacted me to ask if there was any flirting between us, i told her no (bc the messages were platonic, from my end at least.) He then wishes me well and blocks me on all messaging platforms, effectively ending our friendship/relationship.

Now i am left dealing with more heartbreak because:

1. he didnt let me go on my own terms even though i was the dumper, short in my replies to him, soft blocked him, etc, but now that hes good, he blocks me right as i was feeling comfortable with transition into a friendship
2. i started looking at the new girls socials and hes all over her and posting her too, something he never did with me. I MISS PHYSICAL TOUCH SOOO MYCH
3. i am unable to be friendly to my friends bf’s or feel happy for any other relationship as im still mourning and wishing for my ex (not actually, but the feelings of rage and sadness arise when i see happy, PDA couples)

Please help me heal, im working through therapy and talking to friends too
