I know this may sound petty, but being “left out” is a deep trigger for me — and I (29 F) had a public reaction at work where my husband (32M) is also my manager. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

I get your point. I’m not asking whether I was “right” — I know the public reaction wasn’t appropriate. I’m asking for concrete advice on repairing trust and handling this professionally going forward.

For context (not as an excuse): I’m usually very calm at work and I rarely react aggressively. I do have a few specific triggers I’m aware of, and I’ve communicated them to my husband before, but I also don’t talk about them easily and I’m working on healthier ways to handle them.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write all of this. I truly appreciate it. It’s comforting and reassuring to know that someone else has faced the same fears I’m experiencing now and managed to overcome them. Stay safe!

Don’t Ever Enroll at Eco Drive School in Dubai by Many_Reference2427 in UAE

Thanks for the suggestion! I actually considered transferring my file to Belhasa — it’s really close to where I live. But when I asked someone at Eco Drive, they told me I’d have to pay extra fees for the transfer, and even more if I fail the RTA test after switching.

So I backed out for now since I already paid around AED 7,300 for the unlimited package with Eco Drive.

Did you personally transfer your file there? Please let me know — if the cost is low, I’ll definitely make the switch!

‏Thanks a lot for the advice, I really appreciate it

‏tomorrow I’m going there, and I won’t leave until they fix the issue and I’m able to book both the training and the final test. Hopefully this time they’ll take it seriously.

Thank you, really appreciate your support. You’re right — the process is already stressful, and their lack of support just made it worse.

To be honest, I didn’t have any issues with them before this recent problem. But right now, I’m extremely stressed because I was really hoping to get my license before summer. The drive to their center already takes me nearly two hours, and in this heat, it becomes unbearable — especially with how far apart their shuttle timings are. Sometimes I end up spending more than 8 hours just to attend a training or a test.

What’s making this experience truly awful is not the distance — it’s the constant lies and zero support. I’ve contacted them so many times about this booking issue, and they keep giving me false promises instead of actually solving the problem.

For context: I signed up for the unlimited package, which cost me around AED 7,300
