I’m doing some research into affiliate marketing using Pinterest as a way to drive traffic. I want to mainly use Amazon Associates. I’m Canadian and am wondering if there will be issues if I want to do this through Amazon USA. Should I first get my Pinterest account started to see demographics before trying to set up affiliate programs?

I’ve F25 been dating my boyfriend M25 for just under 6 years. We are each other’s first relationship.

I’ve always felt like we’ve had some incompatibilities, specifically around communication styles and love languages, but figured these could be worked on and didn’t think about them too much in the beginning. We do enjoy spending time together and are always out doing things, but for the past year or so something has felt off. I started feeling like I was unsure if he was the one I wanted to be with for marriage, specifically because I hadn’t dated anyone else and felt like I didn’t have any reference. I told him about this, and ever since things haven’t gone back to before and breaking up was something we discussed on and off. It feels like we are disconnected, I feel this emotionally and sexually since it feels like we are coasting by and not talking about progressing our relationship or our feelings. We always say we want to work on the relationship after having the discussions on breaking up, but we haven’t really made any progress, until the cycle repeats.

Last week it got to a point where we talked about breaking up again and it feels like we might actually do it. Now that it feels real and isn’t hypothetical anymore, I really regret ever bringing it up in the past because now it feels like we can’t go back to normal. I feel like I may have been too hard on him and realized there are a lot of great traits he has when I was focusing on the bad ones before.

I’m unsure if this is truly regret or if it’s more the fact that I’ll always be sad about breaking up and leaving a safe relationship. He is a great guy and a I trust him a lot and would be very sad to breakup, but I’m not sure if too much has happened to be able to go back and work back up to a good place. How do I know if it’s time to break up if things aren’t going well but I don’t want to/don’t feel ready? I don’t want to regret breaking up and losing my person.

tl;dr: my long term relationship has felt off for a year and there’s been multiple discussions of breaking up, how do I know if we should if I don’t want to?

I’m 25F, 5’10, 192 lbs. I weight train 4-5 times a week plus cardio. Based on this, my estimated maintenance calories are around 2300-2400 and I’ve been eating in a 1800-1900 calorie deficit. I weigh and track all of my food so I know I’m not going over my calories. For the time being I’ve also cut out all fast food and desserts.

I started 3 weeks ago weighing around 191-192 lbs. After the first week I weighed in at 189.4 lbs. I weighed myself the next week and I was 190.4 lbs. I was doing weekly weigh ins but I decided to weigh myself more often in case I was missing lower weigh ins, but ever since my weight has just been going up to 190.4lbs and today at 191.8lbs.

After my lowest weigh in I had to start iron supplements since I’m very deficient, as well as added more fibre to my diet, and D3 drops. I’m not sure if this could be contributing but I don’t know how it would.

I’m very defeated because I’m working hard and hungry all the time for me to just not change. At this point I might as well eat how I normally do and stay the same for way less work.

I F25 am borderline anemic but my hemoglobin is still at the low range of normal. I purchased Ferosom Forte which is meant for iron deficiency but only has 30mg of elemental iron (ferric pyrophostate) and 70mg of vitamin C. This was before my naturopath suggested Feramax but I already bought the one I have and started using it.

My ferritin levels are 10 ug/L. Is this strong enough of a dose? It’s supposed to be absorbed well and I’ve seen a lot of people have had success with it.

I’m not enjoying my job at all and my employer has put extra responsibilities on me outside of the job description that are making me feel very stressed and anxious. It’s also pretty much fully remote so it’s hard to feel supported since it’s a startup.

In my job agreement it does say I can resign given 2 weeks notice (it’s an 8 month job) so I know it’s an option within the contract but I’m not sure how it will impact my co-op standing. If possible I’d want to look for a different job for the fall and finish this one in 4 months.

I have an appointment with my co-op advisor next week and am concerned I’m not going to be able to do anything about this without losing my co-op status. I don’t think my mental health can handle this for another 7 months if it continues like this.

I have an appointment booked next Saturday for another lash lift and it’ll be 8.5 weeks since I’ve last got it done. I still have 1.5 weeks until then so things might change but as of right now they’re still curled. Not as much as at first but they are still obviously lifted.

Am I able to get another one done if they still have curl? This is my first time back after my initial appointment.

I’m finishing my course based masters soon from a mid tier university in Canada and I may want to pursue a PhD. My average is currently a 92%, with a 94% in macro and 96% in micro. This summer I’m working in a position where I will be conducting research for a company, but not in an official manner, and I’ve never been an RA, just written multiple long papers for courses I’ve taken.

For a top school like UoT or UBC will this be a big dealbreaker? I’m hoping I can reference my work this summer as research potential, but I’m not sure if it’s strong enough.
