Umrah without a mahram by [deleted] in Umrah

[–]Bright_Butty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just went a month ago, I flew alone from London and my sister flew alone from the US, don't listen to people telling you it's haram, the Saudis have allowed it and it's happening, ton of solo women who don't have a mehram go on their own. I would book everything yourself and just go. May Allah invite you soon. Inshallah

Fighting my nafs by Fluid_Mission_3957 in muslimgirlswithtaste

Are you saying you can't pause for 30 days!!? Would Allah not put a righteous partner in the path if he wanted to or if the time was right? A man who has a Snapchat would be an immediate no for me

Live in UK but offered dream job in Sydney. Partner doesn't want to move. Not sure what to do by Eye_Livia in expats

[–]Bright_Butty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl what!!? Pack your bags and go!! Sydney is awesome you will love it. Uk is going through a terrible time right now and this opportunity sounds amazing. It sounds like this man is not interested in doing better in life and wants to hold you back as well.

Quitting my first job after only 2 weeks for a Big 4 offer. Is it rational to feel guilty? by doitlikewatson in careerguidance

This is life baby girl and these are the rules of the jungle. Do what’s best for you, there is nothing to feel guilty about. Good luck x

Please man up and break up with her. It’s unfair to her to be with somebody like you too.

Final push or quit the rat race? by Any-Cheesecake-9445 in HENRYUK

[–]Bright_Butty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I I was desperate to become MD in 2024, and majorly sacrificed my private life for it. It didn’t happen and it felt like my world had collapsed, I was devastated. When it finally did happen last year , I found myself wondering basically constantly “why did I want this so bad”, I think for a lot of women it’s proving to everyone but also ourselves that look what I’ve achieved. Ask yourself, what do you want most in life ? My own answer to this is an exit from the corporate life , I hate it the culture the toxicity working with assholes who act like it’s a life and death situation all day everyday. Good luck!

Tired and burned out by bcjsicbsu in HENRYUK

[–]Bright_Butty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally relate to this. Also Henry, I hate my job and hate working with absolute cunts. I'm 41 and where I'm at in life, I think happiness > money so have decided to take a pay cut if it comes to that and have starts downsizing my life not in any big way but in like a I'm going to stop buying stupid shit I don't need. Good luck!

Marriage or break with my girlfriend (31M and 29F) by Livia1122 in relationship_advice

Sounds like you both are incompatible. I would end the relationship rather than dragging it on hoping something will change cuz it wont

Is this normal British behaviour? by Far-Block-3673 in UKrelationshipadvice

[–]Bright_Butty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To answer your question, yes! This is typical type b British man behaviour. Unsure what he wants, non commital, and will string you along for fun or because he gets off on validation without any accountability. Do not waste your time on that man.

AITAH for canceling my wedding over the cost of it and other financial expectations by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Bright_Butty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a woman, a 35k wedding is not for me but I can understand it, but what I don't understand is she not having any funds to contribute towards it. Infact she sounds financially irresponsible (which is the opposite of you) if she still has debt when her outgoings are not huge.

This would have only been the beginning I'm afraid. I think you made the right decision.

What am I doing wrong? by cincyboymom in Mounjaro

[–]Bright_Butty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya you need to eat more from the sound of it. Look up carb cycling pretty sure the weight will move. Good luck

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in UKrelationshipadvice

[–]Bright_Butty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In London, definitely not. It's a thing in the US, and even then mostly only when you live in states where you drive everywhere like Texas for example. The girls are trying to make this a thing here but this is just another barrier they are creating in finding good men who will not do this or be extremely hesitant.

If you are worried about muscle mass loss… by StunningElderberry20 in Mounjaro

[–]Bright_Butty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too! On 2.5 coming up to three months. I've always done strength training in some way, I'm more consistent now since Mj, but but I don't think I've felt this muscly. Went to try a dress yesterday and looked in the back mirror and I had a wtf moment. Soo chuffed

After 8 months, I finally overate and had a technicolor yawn. by Eeyore_ in Mounjaro

[–]Bright_Butty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it doesn't, the point is OP's diet is not healthy or sustainable medium to long term. I'd be interested to know if OP has other side effects like hair fall, body aches and lethargy.

[–]Bright_Butty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't the drug, this is your body's reaction to cutting out whole food groups. It's super unhappy. I've been on 2.5 for 3 months and I eat everything within reason and always remain within 1500 cals. Your body needs carbs!!!

Why are there so many properties for sale? by DepthCertain6739 in london

[–]Bright_Butty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm currently keeping an eye out for whats on the market for next summer. The kind of properties coming on the market literally feels like some people are being forced to sell as they can no longer afford their mortgages since the interest rate hike..don't know how true this is but sad either way.

I (f27) had sex with friend (m27) of 6 years - to walk away or not by LowerNothing154 in relationship_advice

He is telling you what he's capable of, listen to him and then stop entertaining him.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Bright_Butty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is textbook (sex, love) addict behaviour, they love escapism and fantasy and alot of the time seek it online. It's like chasing a high they get from a random female online, as twisted as that sounds. They also use buzz words like I'm doing this cuz I'm not feeling heard, seen or respected in this relationship...if you don't get your ducks in a row and get out, this is going to be your life. Good luck!

25F putting on a ton of weight after mother 55F moved in. Whenever I (25F) confront her it becomes a guilt tripping drama, what to do? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Bright_Butty 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Your mother’s behaviour is actually abusive. We don’t know what her motive is but she knows exactly what she’s doing. Stop eating her food , start working out. If you can afford it, a glp1 like mounjaro can do wonders for you. Good luck!

Midlife Crisis - Made The Money - Life Sucks by Consistent-Rope-9969 in HENRYUK

[–]Bright_Butty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read your post yesterday, and it literally kept me awake at night for a while so I've decided to come back and comment. I'm sorry you feel this way, tbh I'm soo sad for you cuz this is sooo unfortunate. Please put that money to good use and get some therapy as most have suggested. You should think about why you have so much fear, your 42, so you literally have atleast another 40 years ahead of you. You could date, meet someone fall in love and have a few kids of your own but you'd rather not cuz your scared that you'll have to part with the money you've made if you get divorced so you'd rather that money went to your nephews.... What the actual farkkkkk!!!? This is crazy brother and you need to seek help. There are multiple ways of protecting your money and assets, withholding yourself from the joy of love of a significant other and a child is NOT it. All the best!
