I need help on what to do about my boyfriend??
Thanks for sharing. The best advice I have is to have an open communication with him and set the expectations. If you are too busy to hang out then it is ok to tell him that but propose an alternative idea, and that way it is not just a rejection but an invitation to find a better time to hang out.

I think if you guys keep the communication open and honest, you will find a time to hang out that work for both of you. It seems that right now without they communication, his needs are not being met nor being communicated.
What should I say when asked "what are your salary expectations?"
I highly recommend doing your research ahead of time—check platforms like Glassdoor, Indeed, and Salary.com to get a realistic understanding of your expected salary range. Then, reflect on your unique skills and experiences to get clear on your true worth.

It’s absolutely okay to ask for what you’re worth. In fact, recognizing your own value is the first step to helping others recognize it too.

When it comes time to discuss numbers, try saying:
“I do have a number in mind, but I’d love to hear what you’re willing to offer first.”

This keeps the conversation open and positions you from a place of confidence.
The most important thing? Speak with calm assurance, not fear. You’ve got this.
How do you prevent a relationship from becoming stagnant?
Come up with fun things to do with your partner to prevent your relationship from becoming stagnant. If there’s no growth happening, one person needs to focus on personal development or the areas of their life that could be better. I also recommend taking attention away from your relationship and trying to improve yourself.
How do you gain trust back in a relationship after lying?
To gain trust back in a relationship after lying, give your partner a sincere apology. Own up to your mistake and tell them that you won’t do it again. If the love is there, your partner should be willing to rebuild that trust with you. Give it time, and learn from your mistakes.
My boyfriend is always moody
That sounds exhausting if you're constantly walking on eggshells. Does your boyfriend's moodiness affect you in a certain way? If it does, I’d encourage you to take care of yourself . You cannot change your boyfriend or tell him to stop being a certain way. You just have to ask yourself this question: “Will I accept this? Do I want to change this, or can I just leave it?” Because essentially with any situation, there's only three options: accept it, change it, or leave it . Which one are you willing to do?
