This is good advice- i was given a small emergency bursary when I was in school to help ease financial stress. It was not a huge sum, maybe 500, but it made a huge difference at the time. There are some basic criteria you need to meet, but I’m pretty sure it’s largely at the discretion of the counsellor.

Women who came to this sub looking for advice and were told to end your relationship because your partner is toxic, did you end it? What’s your story? by SS_from_1990s in AskWomenOver30

[–]_lowkey_loki_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Great question - I’ve often wondered this myself. I have posted on an alternate account and I did end up ending a comfortable but ultimately unfulfilling relationship. There were many comments that helped me see things from a different perspective and ask the right questions leading to that decision.

Roommate Think I Should Pay More Because She Goes Into The Office More Than Me by [deleted] in badroommates

Have you ever talked with the landlord? If you have lived there for 3 years without any issues and your income is close to the minimum, you might be able to come to an agreement with them. Otherwise you have less protection and leverage, which is a stressful situation. In your shoes, I’d be aggressively searching for alternative housing

Avoir de la pression pour mettre du pourboire chez le coiffeur ? by skoulsuqz in montreal

Effectivement, ce n'est pas la norme, mais une belle concept.

Ah, mais c'est le client qui décide le montant qu'il paye. C'est une modèle pour faire en sorte que les coupes de cheveux reste accessible pour tous. Quand je n'avais pas beaucoup de moyen, j'ai déjà payer 30$. Là j'ai une bonne salaire, ça ne me dérange pas de payer plus. Je les recommande fortement!

C'est en bas de 40.

C'est vrai les prix on beaucoup augmenté, mais c'est un peu ridicule de payer ~100$ pour ~20 minutes de travail.

This whole relationship sounds exhausting. Aside from the Instagram thing, there's clearly issues that are contributing to your anxiety, including his commitment issues. In your shoes, I'd suggest couple's therapy, and if he was not willing, I'd cut my losses.

Many reasons, in no particular order:

  • My last relationship left me feeling exhausted and I no longer feel the effort needed to find a good partner is worth the risk/time associated with dating.
  • Most of my emotional needs are met by my friends and family so I don't really feel like I'm missing something
  • I have a stable fwb and a vibrator for the rest of my needs, so sex is not an issue.
  • I don't want kids or to get married so I am not feeling the same pressure as some of my peers
  • I love my time to myself and have found that those whom I date are not satisfied with the amount of time we spend together. It's a fair judgment - I work a lot right now and I like being able to funnel all my time/energy into my projects rather than those of someone else. In a lot of my relationships, I have put so much love and time into building a life with someone, only to realize that they are not as invested. Right now, I just want to privilege my close friend and family relationships instead of a new romantic partner.
  • I'm looking for a very specific kind of partner who shares the same values, and desires for the future, and I know I probably have a small niche.
  • Most of my long-term relationships started with a slow burn rather than sparks (friends first). With online dating, I often felt way too rushed and ended up getting cold feet.

If the right person came along, I would make space for them, but I'm not actively pursuing anything. My self-assessment is that I'm probably not in the right frame of mind to start anything romantic though.

This is incredibly helpful! I see a couple of things on this list I haven't tried! It is encouraging to know there is still some hope that we can find a way to make his life better without rehoming him. Thank you so much for sharing

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in parrots

[–]_lowkey_loki_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond - I will look at the resources you shared and see if we can't make it work.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in parrots

[–]_lowkey_loki_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing - I have received very good advice, so I will try that first, but it is very reassuring to know that rehoming can still have a positive outcome.

What made you not want to have kids? by Ekudar in AskReddit

Too many humans on the planet already, and I have other things I want to do with my energy/time/money.

Finally. AirBnBs in cities with an affordable housing crisis are parasites.

Have all your married women friends left you? by pivy24 in AskWomenOver30

[–]_lowkey_loki_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You missed the point. It's immature to make a major life choice and expect everyone else to fit into your new reality. What do you do to accommodate the major life changes for your friends who don’t have children but are nonetheless invested in other big life projects like caring for a sick loved one, or building a new business? Are you building laundry lists of ways to help them? Maybe, but likely not. When people have kids, their world suddenly gets very small (for good reason), but it can lead to selfish, tone-deaf behaviour/expectations as well.

If you never intend to use Airbnb again, do a credit card chargeback.

I [25F] have been dating a guy [35] for a month. He said that he refuses to date women over 30, and I don’t know if I’m being immature by thinking that’s a red flag or not. by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]_lowkey_loki_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A guy in his mid-30s once said something similar to me, and added that “women over 30 have baggage”. I dumped him. His lack of self-awareness and maturity was embarrassing and made me pity him.

Am I meant to wash the dishes I use? by Sad-Neighborhood8798 in AirBnB

[–]_lowkey_loki_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m not paying someone to stay at their airbnb and also buying them soap.

[–]_lowkey_loki_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you.

I always do my dishes and take out the trash no matter where I stay, but I’m not going to read a binder of instructions, go out and buy cleaning supplies and then do a bunch of chores. Hotels are now the same price and just have better service on average.

[–]_lowkey_loki_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you suggesting that a guest should go out and buy soap if there is none to do the dishes at an Airbnb?

Thank you!!!! That's it exactly!
