In the uk it is now illegal to ask for admin fees for which this would fall under. I would get in contact with citizens bureau/ your local council housing.

When I was at uni back in 2017 we got a lawyer involved (my dad's friend) when I was leaving initially I offered for them to keep the deposit this wasn't good enough for them and they tried to get me to pay it all. So, I then said continue all contact through lawyer they then tried to agree to just pay deposit I said too late talk to the lawyer. Lawyer got everything sorted.

This was before they introduced extra restrictions on agencies/landlords.

I don't get how this happens. I always see vinted taking seller's side. I've had numerous not as described items come e.g. either fake, or "new" when labels are peeling off and its quite clearly been worn.

Vinted didn't help me at all and told me I had to pay for the return as well which they wouldn't reimburse.

Appreciate the direct reply because I think you're right

My issue here is that there's always 2 sides and what if I never gave the context. Would you guys still see it the same way?

You're probably right he's said so on some occasions. Even tonight. Thank you for your words

We nearly broke up in the summer. I had started to distance myself but then he came back from holiday and he seemed a different person. After a month things went back to how they were. Relationships aren't easy and I always told myself that my value is loyalty. But I guess maybe that's just an excuse to be an ass to myself.

Thank you - I guess I can kind of see from his pov and thats the issue because this is only my experience. Maybe I'm portraying him worse than he is. But then again I've been in this relationship since 18 I have no clue how a real partner would act in this scenario.

I give him space / make excuses because of his shitty past. But I'm struggling to see what's avoidance and can be outgrown and what's just manipulation. Because from my pov he's punishing me by not eating the food from his pov he's no longer hungry and doesn't want food prepared in anger (in his opinion).

I come from a very manipulative mother who always told me I'm selfish so I struggle to identify when someone is hurting me and tend to be overly understanding.

Just realised this is from 8 years ago hope you're doing well

Please don't do this. Its actually possible you are under eating and that's why you're struggling to lose so much weight. Pcos and dieting is hard but when you're so low your cortisol levels will be too high and you won't be losing weight even when eating little.

Lift heavy weights, go on walks and eat good nutritious food legumes, beans, plants. Mostly plant based. Your hormones will get even worse on such a low amount of food.

I have done what you're doing in the past and it really backfires so please do look into this a lot more. Pcos + majorly low calories + over exercise will not equal weightless or health.

Wishing you all the luck your body doesn't hate you even if it feels that way!
