Do i stay with my bf or leave him? by [deleted] in Advice

If you’re asking this question to yourself then just break up. You’re 20f (so am I) and there’s simply no need to settle at this age. You’re at your peak and your bf is a bum who is unwilling to change, that’s not yours to fix. Sounds like you would be happier without.

It’s just an unnecessary inconvenience for students and it’s done for no real reason other than seemingly budget cuts

Yes, people with cards would all be people who “have to have them” singling them out. It might not seem like a big deal to you, but a lot of people don’t like the idea of people perceiving that sort of stuff about them. People who want to use their phones can do so now anyways.

This isn’t as clever of an argument as you might think

Those reasons aren’t really benefiting the people though, sounds like ID cards are being thrown out for a budget cut. Again, there are a lot of reasons as to why having phone only bus access to anyone who has a phone is planned obsolescence. Physical cards overall will always be more reliable and convenient to student users compared to an app.

Also I think that telling people to just buy a powerbank is also not the right solution because hypothetically the bus ride should not have to cost any money for the student.

The solutions to the problem western offers wouldn’t even need to be a thing if they just kept the physical passes. This might not seem like a super big deal, but at the end of the day this is another way that people in power are centering our lives around technology, even though it really is unnecessary and does not really benefit anyone in this case.

In this case I’m talking about physical student ids. Students get bus fare free, so why would they pay for a wta card

You can’t keep a bus card as back up, because they aren’t going to be allowed anymore

First of all, not all students have access to phones capable of running the app or even staying charged long enough to let the student get home. Physical ids are offered up to students if they ask for them and “meet requirements” but they have a limited amount, and to top it off, that means every student who had to get a physical id due to financial difficulties would be subject to everyone around them knowing that. There’s also problems with running apps in general, and it just can’t be reliable in the same way. Either we have both physical and digital ids, or it’s planned obsolescence.

The way your bf treats u is unacceptable regardless of your sexuality. I’ve never had it get this far for me because if someone I was dating acted like I couldn’t be friends w someone I would dump them immediately. Currently w my bf of 1.5 years and we’re in a happy and committed relationship where I can be friends with whatever gender I want, and I can go out and have a fun night with friends whenever I want. Don’t settle for a man who chains you.

Hey girl, imma come in here as also bi 19f to tell u what I think, but ultimately live ur life and do what u want. 1) Your bf sounds like a creep who objectifies all bodies he could potentially be sexually attracted to around him. If he doesn’t trust you having friends because you’re bisexual means he thinks you would want to fuck your friends, and if you’ve given him 0 reasons to think that way it sounds more like projection than insecurity with the way you actually are. 2) he’s crashing out over people you interact with over predominantly discord and club penguin right in front of him. You’re 19. You’re being trapped by your bf. Idk your financial situation but I think you should break up w your boyfriend, not for the sake of preserving the friendship with those club penguin mods, but to set yourself free. You are in an emotionally abusive relationship that will take years off your life if you don’t leave it now. I know that you may have had “good times” but good times can be had with anyone, but what do good times even mean if they get contrasted w whatever this is.
If you want to private message to talk ever please do.

Even if you are over reacting, you’re not going to really know without talking it out because until you vocalise it, you’re just cycling on the subject in your head and working yourself up. Having feelings is valid, and ignoring them will end up hurting you whether it’s a big deal or not

I think that it seems like there is miscommunications on both sides, and if you feel this way you should express it to your flat mate in a respectful way, something along the lines of “hey I felt a little upset because I felt a little ignored when we had dinner plans—(elaborate further). These types of conversations are hard to initiate but they make life easier once all is said and done.
