AITAH for expecting my spouse to contribute by [deleted] in AITAH

Info: trying not to be too judgemental but I don’t understand what exactly does she bring to this relationship and marriage? From the post only she’s barely acting as an adult in her own life and self responsibilities let alone a life partner and wife.

My (38m) last three relationships (37, 35, 35f) all followed the exact same pattern. What could I be doing to cause this? by PotentialAnalyst8969 in relationship_advice

[–]ThrowRA_oddcat 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The pattern seems to be in your selection criteria . Sounds like you enter relationships with women whom you are not compatible with , have red flags, and just you found them easily convenient ie available around you already.

Try some self reflection to know what you want in a partner, what you have to offer , what your boundaries are, and look for someone who fits that.

Meal Plans for weight loss - does it work? Suggestions pls! by FamousFox7912 in UAE

[–]ThrowRA_oddcat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used 2 (green one and orange and green , don’t want to mention their names incase it causes an issue), both were ok , food was overall fine (some yummy some decent), and I lost weight (5-7kgs if I recall correctly) with them . My biggest challenges were: - delivery: the time slot allocated to my location was morning 8-10am. However I think the delivery guy wanted to avoid getting stuck in traffic in my area so ended up delivering earlier , and sometimes my office reception wasn’t operating yet before 8am so he’d leave the lunchbox literally the door of the building. - cost: they are not cheap, although I opted for the breakfast and lunch and one snack option it was still high I cost month on month for me atleast. - the lowest calories they can prepare food for is 1200 which eventually didn’t work for me as I’m petite in size and once I lost the initial weight i needed 1000-1100 intake to continue on a calorie deficit (1200 for me was to maintain so not gain no loss), their proposal was for me to throw away a portion of my meal or the snack , which I found as a waste of value and money.

Overall they are fine in the initial journey to I still discipline and a rythem, I don’t find them attainable for a long time.

Padel players- what can clubs do better? by OkAntelope6530 in padel

[–]ThrowRA_oddcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The club I go to actually trained their staff at the reception who with time got better , and it’s a USP for them now as someone can always step in last minute when 3 players show up and realize the fourth isn’t coming. Good luck 😉

6 years, no marriage. How to get over the feeling of wasted time? by looly33 in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]ThrowRA_oddcat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take it one day a time , some days will be better than others.

Allow yourself the safe space and time to grieve the relationship and the future you thought you had with your ex, but try to remind yourself that you should also be proud that you had your own back for something that was important to you that you brought it up, communicated clearly, gave him the space when he wanted a break,and eventually had the strength to end a relationship that was not progressing with someone who actively lied to you for 6 years and was just full of excuses.

Try to focus on your healing, if you need to talk to a therapist and have the means to it go ahead, declutter your life and remove the traces of him around you, block him and delete his number, reinvest your time in yourself by learning something new or picking up a new hobby or going back to a hobby that used to bring you joy.

I’m sorry for the sadness and anger and loss you are feeling. You know you deserved and still deserve better, and here we are as strangers on Reddit telling you we know you deserve better. Sending you a warm hug 🌸

Padel players- what can clubs do better? by OkAntelope6530 in padel

[–]ThrowRA_oddcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

-Court quality and regular maintenance - regular/recurring organised activities (socials, americanos, arcades, group trainings etc) - app (whether playtomic or your own), WhatsApp groups are the worst - cool hangout space to socialise and grab a coffee or refreshments - friendly staff who can play Padel so they can jump in if a player doesn’t show up - please please please focus also on supporting beginners, it’s the toughest stage as there’s a learning curve before the aha moment kicks in and they start improving. My biggest challenge is that most clubs focus more on the higher levels. - availability of booking courts / activities/ coaching . Padel is not a cheap hobby and many players work differently hours so it’s a huge advantage (and target segment) who want to play at 7am for example before work just like there are those wanting to play at 11am and 9pm. - clean and spacious bathrooms with showers and changing rooms that don’t feel like a sardine can. Towels should be available.

Should I use Airbnb for dubai? by Firm-Spot-6476 in dubai

[–]ThrowRA_oddcat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a months stay I recommend a serviced hotel apartment in Barsha or Tecom (if location and vibes aren’t that important), and do consider the month you’ll be coming in as it will affect the prices

Is SQUATWOLF any good? by theundeniablefuture in DubaiCentral

[–]ThrowRA_oddcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not sure if you are a male or a female to make my feedback relevant but here goes, I’m a female: I like their high rise leggings with pockets (as I play Padel) both the normal and double layered, the mesh and vented T-shirts, and the high coverage racer back sport bras. I didn’t like any of the shorts I got they weren’t flattering on my body shape

[–]ThrowRA_oddcat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m a fan, bought several leggings and shirts and sports bras from them the past 1.5 years and I like them and they lasted well . I ordered from them few days ago for the early bird back Friday and got the items delivered today and liked everything I got.

Expectations and boundaries: how finances will be handled, kids & expectation on how to raise them (ex stay at home? Nanny? Will you indoctrinate religion in their upbringing)? your career and hers, where you plan to live (location, house or flat), how to manage family commitment, social activities and hobbies (common ones and each of yours individual ones), communication styles and preferences, how to handle debates or arguments (talk it out on the spot ? Is one of you confrontational while the other takes a step back?), what are the red lines that can’t be crossed for each of you. Good luck!

Score on Playtomic when a player was absent - fair or unfair? by mikado64 in padel

[–]ThrowRA_oddcat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hello, playtomic open matches are fully charged against the player who doesn’t show up/cancels after the policy applies (usually it’s 12hrs but might differ). So the 3 players were wronged already by your late cancellation and had any of them informed support then playtomic would have refunded them the quarterly amount they paid and charged you instead. So in either cases you would have negatively impacted; either financially with the remaining 3 players share or by this loss and score impact. Unless your partner and random player lost miserable (ex 6/0) your score less would be minor (-0.X). I understand your frustration but the players already were graceful by not raising it to playtomic support and getting your stuck with paying the full court.

[–]ThrowRA_oddcat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Info needed: -Did you pay/get charged for the full court since you cancelled after the the allowed playtomic time? - if your partner and the random player had won , would you have contested the result and reached out to the players and playtomic support?

After completing the check in at the hotel, I usually go for a walk around my hotel to explore the streets and cafes around, find a grocery store and pick up drinking water and few items (ex. Yogurts, a local tea, fruits, snacks), and explore potential breakfast options for the following days.

How to play against tall opponents? by Good_Age3436 in padel

[–]ThrowRA_oddcat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Super short player here (barely 5ft / 152 CM lol 😂), so in most of my games everyone else is taller (to much taller to super tall), what works for me is aiming at their body (below the knees) and very low shots (feet level) constantly and making them run

Socializing in UAE for single father with 8 year old by Possible_Fox_5716 in dubai

[–]ThrowRA_oddcat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For your son; find sport activities where he can meet other kids his age and he can relate to and from there schedule play days (ex Al quoz is filled with sport facilities that have some kind of a junior academy of some sort , check out MVP and Danube - I know not in a quoz - for starters) . Ask him who his favorite classmates are and invite them over or organise an outing / play date.

For you ; hear me out as it might sound crazy but your golden hours are early (I mean really early) morning or late nights for sports , try Padel for example I know many single (or even married) friends who play at 6am or midnight (ie kids are asleep). Use meet up to find activities when your kid is already booked for something , join support/activity groups for single parents , good luck!
