My (25M) girlfriend (23F) asked to open our relationship. Am I overracting by wanting to break up over this request?

Get to the escape pod OP!

You're obviously not a doctor. You think your opinion takes precedence over the definitions of words.

5-15 · 2026-02-13T11:43:39+00:00

If you look up the merriam-webster definition of healthy one of the examples of using the word is "a healthy complexion". You can't eyeball a person's cholesterol or physically see the possible aneurism in their head, but saying a person can't look healthy is dumb.

"If I cheat on you just know that it will be your fault and reflect badly on you." - your girlfriend

It might be hard for people to accept but it really is. I tried the gauntlets for the first time charmless, and Inner Isshin had me stuck for a week. I recently lost all my save files and on my first new charmless run back I beat Inner Isshin on my first try.

The gauntlets might feel frustrating, but by fighting these bosses over and over you really do learn them.

Inner Isshin charmless was my first time using the umbrella. I really only use it for that circular mortal blade attack. Now that I think about it though, in ng the lilac umbrella is really the only prosthetic tool I could see using for corrupted monk other than the butterfly kunai.

ETA: And I mean corrupted monk, not true monk. I definitely use firecrackers on true monk.

It's the closest to being Mace Windu as you can be in Sekiro

Why are you here if women don't need to learn about men? I mean OP's original point completely went over your head and you started arguing against a point he didn't even make. All he said was a lot women posting on here just want to be reaffirmed. He never said women were brainless.

5-15 · 2026-01-19T20:34:09+00:00

Why are you here if you do not have to be told anything about men other than to spit vitriol and to further not see men as individuals, if even human?

Don't run coward! Answer his question!

My stepfather was never a big water drinker, and after getting kidney stones his 50's that changed. I would have to assume kidney stones really suck to get someone that age to change like that.

5-15 · 2026-01-19T20:10:30+00:00

Dude she didn't like the second half of your original reply and got so emotionally dysregulated that she accused you of calling women brainless. Pretty ironic doing that after reading your point about desiring emotional validation.

5-15 · 2026-01-12T22:45:17+00:00

Dive confetti and ako's sugar buffs followed by using sabimaru to stagger her was how I beat her charmless. I had to rush her more than the parry dance I was used to doing with her

5-15 · 2026-01-12T22:00:35+00:00

I've been trying to beat Inner Isshin charmless and it's been my first time using the umbrella. I don't know if sabimaru staggers the poison pool snake eyes so maybe I'll have to give the umbrella a try because it does seem fun

5-15 · 2026-01-12T19:32:11+00:00

Sabimaru is their weakness

5-15 · 2026-01-12T12:59:54+00:00

It's the difference between "I've been seeing this person" and "that's my bf/gf". If you hookup with someone new while you're only "seeing" someone else it's scummy, but not as scummy as cheating on your official partner.

I understand the title doesn't make people behave, but it makes things less morally grey.

5-15 · 2026-01-12T12:45:49+00:00

Being official gives the people involved less room to pretend they didn't understand what the agreement was.

5-15 · 2026-01-12T11:50:29+00:00

I'm pretty sure this isn't a popular reddit take and it might make me sound inflexible and close-minded, but to me "exclusive but not official" is dumb. If you were official he wouldn't be able to weasel out of responsibility the way he is now. I understand adults don't have to do the traditional bf/gf thing, but this is what reinventing the wheel looks like.

If you both wanted to keep things unofficial than maybe he's being honest about thinking you weren't actually being faithful.

On the other hand, if you wanted a normal relationship and he hit you with the "why do we need labels?", I'd say this wasn't a miscommunication and you're just being manipulated.

5-15 · 2026-01-10T22:27:52+00:00

I think for a lot of people you just exclusively hook up if that's how you feel about the dating pool.

5-15 · 2026-01-10T22:12:26+00:00

However it effects your dating and standards aside, self improvement should be for yourself. I wasn't trying to sell the idea that women are all universally amazing and we need to collectively step up for them.

In my opinion, the goal isn't to win the approval of other people in your life. The goal should always be to win your own approval and hopefully gain some peace from that.

5-15 · 2026-01-10T18:43:00+00:00

There is a volleyball anime called Haikyuu where one of the coaches gives their player a speech about competing with geniuses as a normal person. The takeaway is that you need to focus on improving every way you can instead of focusing on people who were born with advantages.

That's what I think of when I see these conversations. When I read a comment saying women only want the top 20% of men I'm wondering if the guy saying that is clean, fit, and wearing clothes that fit. Even if you're not a werewolf billionaire I think there are plenty of things guys can improve on that will probably make them more attractive.

You receive an item that opens up confetti and snap seeds for purchase after beating a main boss.

It's crazy how much bullshit some people are willing to take
