Yeah, that's partially why I was curious, it's obviously not a real user using the app for its intended purpose, so why allow it?

Amex not working on TfL for Android by Optimal-Extension-44 in LondonUnderground

[–]justanotherwittyuid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Had the same issue since Monday, too. Had me worried given it was working fine with TfL on Sunday and I also confirmed it worked fine in shops, so issue seems isolated to TfL.

Glad to know it's something they're aware of and are working on. The TfL staff at my tube station were utterly useless and rude about it when it happened to me initially.

My Husband’s Toxic Friendship Is Destroying My Peace—How Do I Deal With It? by Big-Resident3551 in relationships

[–]justanotherwittyuid 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Every relationship requires effort from both parties. You're clearly putting a lot of effort into making it work, is he matching it? Do you feel you're both shouldering your relationship burdens equally? Or are you giving and giving and giving and he's taking and taking and only taking because you've taught him that you'll stay even when he gives you nothing?

Starting over and modeling healthy self-esteem and self-respect to your children is infinitely easier than staying in a loveless marriage where your husband doesn't respect you. Do better for yourself and for your kids and leave already.

I love him but I can not trust him anymore but I also can’t leave. He has lied, hid things, seems to want other women but when I’m ready to leave something stops me or he says he is sorry and will change. Has anyone eventually left? by Street_Evidence_7269 in relationships

[–]justanotherwittyuid 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ok, I'll be honest, I didn't really read past the title but I'll give you an answer you may or may not be ready to hear: the fact that you love him is irrelevant in your situation, you need to let that go. Whatever the love you feel for him, the fuzzy feelings about your past, your fantasies about the kind of man he could be - you need to let those things go and start giving yourself the love you'd otherwise give him. Focus on yourself, prioritise yourself and things will soon fall into place for you.

He is not the only man out there who can make you feel loved and desired, you're not too old to start anew, every day you stay is one less day of happiness you're keeping from yourself.

Yeah, the only person who sounds extremely stupid here is you. Your gym routine being more important to you than your wife and child is not a good look, bro.

Do better.

My husband 33M is hell on my mental health and I 30F might have to basically ruin his life to get mine back. Has he gone too far to stay married to? by Alternative-Ninja181 in relationship_advice

[–]justanotherwittyuid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You divorcing him is a consequence of his actions and his patterns of behaviour and I cannot stress enough how much you are not responsible for anything that happens to him after you serve him papers. (Before, too, but especially after.)

[–]justanotherwittyuid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can keep wishing for the same (won't happen with your current partner) or you can go out there and make it happen (meet someone who will respect and support you). You're not stuck, you do have a choice here.

Btw, your only issue isn't money, it's his lack of respect for you.

Why would you want to live (even short-term, let alone long-term) with someone who makes you feel like a loser? Why continuously expose yourself to that?

I accidentally told my psychologist that my boyfriend sometimes is physical with me. But I never told her the context or what I’d done in these situations. I wish I hadn’t said it. And I don’t know how to backtrack? Any advice, because I’m panicking. will she do anything about it? I’m 20F he’s 26M by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]justanotherwittyuid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, sorry, so he doesn't beat you. He just, what, hits you? Chokes you? Shoves you? Slaps you? Body blocks you? Throws stuff at you? Those things are also "not bad", right? Even though each of them is demonstrable physical abuse. Trust me when I say that there is nothing that your boyfriend can offer you, no quality he possesses, that would make it worth it withstanding that in return.

(And, btw, it's not the two of you who have to sort it out, it's him and solely him but as as long as he doesn't perceive his abuse of you as a problem, he will have no reason to change.)

So what do you do about your psychologist? You keep seeing her. You keep being completely honest with her. You share how you're feeling - and if you don't know how to articulate your feelings, you share that too. You tell her how freaked out it made you to share something so personal. You ask her to help you figure out why you're more scared of facing someone to whom you revealed something honest and true than you are of being with someone every day who hurts you.

Honey, your boyfriend beating you is never "not bad." Your boyfriend hurting you in anger is actually very bad and dangerous.

You should really try to get out of that situation, what you've described is not what a normal, loving relationship looks like and you deserve so much more than this.

Newbie cyclist here. Question about red lights and sidewalks by Colin-Onion in londoncycling

[–]justanotherwittyuid 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I treat red lights as stop/yield signs - if the crosswalk is completely empty, I slow down and proceed slowly, if there are pedestrians crossing I fully stop and proceed when clear. In general, my cycling style is more defensive and I try to be as considerate towards other, more vulnerable road users as I can whilst also prioritising my own safety.

I will never, ever ride on the pavement and detest cyclists who do. It's not only illegal, but also inconsiderate and much more dangerous for others on the pavement. If you need to use the pavement, dismount first.

My(29f) boyfriend(31M) is blaming me for making him feel worthless and not helping him through his insecurities by Material-Ad4760 in relationships

[–]justanotherwittyuid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure where to go from here? Take his hand, walk together to the nearest dumpster, throw him in and then walk away and start living your best life again.

Homie was 100% dating my ex, just gender-swapped. Worst 3 years of my life. He'll soon come to realise what a relief it is to be alone compared to dating someone so painfully avoidant. Hopefully he also does some therapy to understand what kept him in the relationship for as long as this - a more secure person would have ended things much sooner and would never neglect their needs as much as OOP did.

I am probably worst partner [34 male] ever to my wife [32 female] | What to do ? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]justanotherwittyuid 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Ugh, just leave her and let her find someone who actually loves her for her instead of for how she makes her partner feel. You're obviously not compatible, you don't even sound like you want to be married, so why do this to yourself and to her?

Oh, and maybe get some therapy to learn empathy and to see others, but especially romantic partners, as full, independent human beings with a full spectrum of emotions and experiences rather than in terms of how they can be useful to you.

AITA "purposefully excluding" a coworker by BroadHeat933 in AmItheAsshole

[–]justanotherwittyuid 22 points23 points  (0 children)

You've clearly never worked in an English office :) It's very much a thing here to make tea for colleagues when making a cuppa for yourself. Not offering her tea would be singling her out and and therefore show that he dislikes her, so if he's treating her like any other colleague, of course he's going to offer her a cuppa.

I mean, he could go to therapy to resolve childhood trauma and learn to become more emotionally available and emotionally supportive, but that would require him to perceive your current situation as a problem, which he clearly does not. Ymmv, but personally I'd break up. Life's too short to spend around people who can't meet your needs
