My partner has to move back in with his abusive parents because Lyft got too expensive.
Rent was a (seemingly) manageable $500, but it got to a point where he had to take out cash advances just to pay for everything, then fell behind on those because of how piss-poor he's paid.
There is no public transit near him at all, either. Had he been getting paid enough to actually live (for reference, he works at Subway), I don't think this would have been a problem.
I have already tried getting him to talk with his boss, who is also the one he's been renting from. I've tried getting him to ask for help from coworkers.
Nothing. He says that he'll (be able to) stand up for himself. I'm still worried. Just in time for my birthday, too...
The only positive here is that his job is within feasible walking distance from his parents' house. Wasn't the point of things like Uber and Lyft to be a solution to taxis being too expensive?
I just wanted to vent and get this out. I feel so helpless.
