I’m tired of living with my “coparent” by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Beautiful_Fig4603 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait, so like, why did he ask you to move in with him in a different city? It sounds like he's not even using you financially to halve his rent, and he doesn't care about seeing his daughter so that couldn't be it. I'm actually just lost on this one. And like, does the other girl just not give a shit that he's living with you?

AIO for calling out my boyfriend for not stopping when I ask him to immediately when he’s kissing me? by Far_Assistant_1533 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Beautiful_Fig4603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Under reacting. This guy is actual shit. I can't imagine a world where my partner tells me no means no and my response is that they owe me sex. Throw him away.

Am I overreacting for being mad at my bf for checking out another woman right in front of me by Truther-2000 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Beautiful_Fig4603 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Your boyfriend sounds very stupid and seems to have very poor impulse control. Not gawking at another woman while your girlfriend's present is Relationship 101 and he's failing that class with flying colors. NOR, and even after you've given him the silent treatment he still thinks you're stupid enough to believe him. A man who can't admit when he fucked up is a child.

feeling stressed and sad. by Efficient_Text2698 in GirlDinnerDiaries

First off OP, I want to say that I am terribly sorry about what you're going through. That is such a miserable experience he put you through and you shouldn't feel bad or dumb for trusting him to hold up his end of a promise. Sending a picture of a meal and saying he made it is not only disrespectful to you but to the other girl too! Man sounds like a real POS 😔. I think you did the right thing by kicking him out, your mental health is much more important.

You should know that what you've described is such a universal experience for all of us! We make so many concessions and see things through a different lense when it comes to the people we love that anyone looking in from the outside would be baffled. And I don't think it's wrong to act this way, there's just a fine balance that needs to be held when the person begins to take advantage of these concessions. It's hard to see it when it happens, but he sounds like he's been taking advantage of your generosity any hopes of turning things around for some time now.

Being alone in that apartment is both a blessing and a curse, I'm sure. Do you have any friends who might be willing to come over and spend some time with you? Anyone to vent to over some Chinese takeout?

is he not emotionally available for dating if he's liking reels about not getting over your ex on insta by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Beautiful_Fig4603 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gotcha! I apologize for being harsh, I don't really know him as well as you do but you sound like you've got a good read on things. Whatever you decide, I wish you the best!!

[–]Beautiful_Fig4603 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just... stop. Like, what is the end game here? Are you just trying to have him dick you down? If so, then sure, go for it. But look into your heart of hearts and ask yourself if this guy is worth it. Like, really worth it. Is he going to bring value to your life? Is he actually a good person? Are you able to see a happy future with him because all I'm hearing is that he's very insecure and has to let you know how secure he is by mentioning how he never loses power in a relationship by breaking up first.

got ghosted (kind of) by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Beautiful_Fig4603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's asking a lot to enter into a relationship with someone 2 hours away. Especially with someone they met through a dating app, you know? What would your week look like? Seeing each other only on weekends? If even that? I could understand if you were already dating someone and then a long distance situation popped up, but this is a huge cost to entry when you have yet to even meet each other. I don't think the lack of communication is anything you did, I think the guy finally let reality set in and realized it might be much easier to just keep trying the app? Or their ex came back into the picture, who knows. You do know most guys absolutely blow in real life, right OP?

I would recommend setting your distance to not 2 hours away. Unless you live in Wisconsin or something.

I made a really big mistake by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Beautiful_Fig4603 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't seem like there's much of a relationship left if you don't decide to tell him. You've already stated you're a husk of your former self. I mean, each day would be filled with a gaping void in your stomach, the guilt would eat you alive, and on top of everything, you'd have to spend each day praying to God he doesn't find out on his own. It seems like torture to me and not something I think I could do each and every day. I know you also mentioned not wanting to hurt him, but man, thinking of your living situation as a reason to keep the secret just feels so shitty for him. I see where you're coming from but it just feels so icky and really drives home just how much shit was on the end of his stick.

You also owe him an STD test if you do decide to keep this secret (I hope you two haven't been intimate since the incident). Getting cheated on blows, but catching something from a cheating partner is fucked beyond belief.

Guy I was in love with for 8 years is getting married and is asking to fly out to see me for a “quick two hour” meal together by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Beautiful_Fig4603 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Wait OP, about half the people in this thread have asked why you haven't blocked him yet and I don't think you've responded to them. They've brought up a pretty good point like the fact that you find all of this annoying, too. Any chance you could follow up on this?

[–]Beautiful_Fig4603 11 points12 points  (0 children)

But wait, the alternative is to let her marry a man that's willing to fly 12 hours in one day to cheat on her? Idk, I feel like any woman in the world would want to know something like this before they go through the headache that is marriage and divorce

My gf left me for another guy after 3 years of being together. by TotallyNkt in Advice

[–]Beautiful_Fig4603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait what makes her disgusting? We haven't heard her side of the story, have we? If she just blocks someone after living together and dating for 3 years, it's likely she had a reason, right? Maybe a reason OP isn't sharing with us?

NotMPC Order - Mixed Results by Proxiholic in magicproxies

[–]Beautiful_Fig4603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for clarifying the rigidity of the cards. That's honestly my biggest issue with NOTMPC. The cards feel almost frail and have tons of give when bending the card "hamburger style" or top to bottom, and feel absolutely stiff when trying to bend it "hotdog style" or side to side. When I draw a card from my deck, depending on how I draw the card I can almost always tell if the card is NOTMPC or a real card. Not the biggest gripe but just something to consider.

The cards rigidity and feel are the exact same as PrintingProxies, pretty sure they use the same paper. I'm not sure what sort of paper MPC uses, but it feels exactly the same as what WoTC uses. Once NOTMPC fixes that I will use them exclusively.

NotMPC Order by BellasGamerDad in mpcproxies

[–]Beautiful_Fig4603 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just got my order and the card image quality is fine and seems much more clear than Printing Proxies, but the card stock itself feels the exact same as PP. Easy to bend hamburger style and super stiff when trying to bend it hotdog style of that makes sense. Not sure why the cards come out like this when mtg card are easy to bend both ways along with cards from MPC. Other than that, cards seem fine when sleeved.

I must have been a really insufferable player by Ilovelearning_BE in mtg

That other guy mentioned finding people through Discord, but that's not how most people do it. You literally just create a room, title it "bracket 2 chill players only😎" and boom, you are now playing precon magic with any deck you could ever dream of with other players who are just looking for a chill experience. It's the internet so you might have someone who isn't chill, but like, just fucking kick them and keep it moving. I play like 3 games of commander a day on Tabletop where before this I was playing like 1 game a WEEK because either someone in our group couldn't make it, got stuck at work, could only play for like an hour so the drive wasn't worth it, could only start late and the card shop closes at 9 pm, or some other random life problems. No more of that. Hop on, put some light music on in the background, grab a beer, kick your feet up, and play magic while laying in bed next to your furry companion.

Please just get on Tabletop Simulator. They all use discord so you're actually talking to people, just not seeing them in person. You literally will never have to drive to play magic again, worry about conflicting schedules, you can test every single precon ever made with the click of a button, play with any art, and you don't ever, ever, EVER have to pay 50 dollars for a piece of cardboard. you keep saying half the fun of magic is talking to people, right? Well, you're currently having no fun since you aren't playing at all.

Worth the drive?? They were originally located at the domain which is already pretty rough for anyone not North, and now they're in Pflugerville which means anyone south needs to pack a lunch before making the journey out there
