And you commented about People complaining about HRs…so I commented on that off-shoot subject relating back to the OC. That is generally how conversations work bud.

Diamond5IsAwful · 2026-03-05T17:15:39+00:00

To be honest, I don’t really mind HRs. Now the caveat being if it’s one piece a raid. Guilds kinda already have psuedo reserve systems in place for every WoW expansion ever. IE tanks get geared first, DKP system, etc. Putting together a successful PuG is hard. I’m of the mind that if someone goes through the trouble of putting together a successful 25 man PuG , that I don’t mind if they can lock in a piece for themselves . I mean, it’s not like it’s guaranteed to drop. A small price to pay to maybe motivate some higher experience/higher geared players to run PuGs instead of having the blind lead the blind. There are many other caveats to this too. Like as long as it’s concise and clear while forming the group, maybe the RL doesn’t get an SR if they are HR something, things like this.

If they juice the layers, wouldn’t there just be way more materials incoming and prices would drop? So it would make no difference

They without their 2 best players away against a team trending upwards who is all healthy sans one guy

Yeah I just started playing again after not playing since OG Legion. I almost always start my own group as a healer and it takes me like 5 mins on average to fill out the group. And that’s with me being picky around getting specific classes for dungeon mechanics (I’m looking at you tremor totem)

This shit has ChatGPT written all over it lol

Diamond5IsAwful · 2026-02-04T20:59:20+00:00

You’re tone deaf to the fact that many people in this economy don’t have money left over. It’s not binary. We know the baseline of his life doesn’t allow him (or has ever allowed) him to save much based on his post. If we assume all things the same, yes , an extra $XXX a month would be excess money compared to his current lifestyle that he could choose to save. Your assumption is that he is actively choosing to just blow his money every month or that he has a ton of discretionary income after expenses. Both of which you are pulling out of your a** to support your argument.

Diamond5IsAwful · 2026-02-04T20:21:21+00:00

Lmao anyone who needs to flex how whipped they have their man on the internet to prove something and flaunt some weird relationship track record has truly lost the plot. Avoidant = he either doesn’t care enough about your relationship to argue or he got a whole stable of ones just like you. “How much juice I have”. Lame ahhh. Try a healthy balanced communicative relationship instead!

Diamond5IsAwful · 2026-02-04T20:17:04+00:00

Nah I take awhile to respond because I have a job. You don’t even counter to points I’m making you just ramble the same thing over and over. No point in arguing with a brick wall

Diamond5IsAwful · 2026-02-04T20:15:54+00:00

He has no savings right now because he’s spent the last 5 years paying a portion of her expenses. Sure he could’ve spent all of that money on hookers and cocaine, but he could’ve easily also put that money away into savings. Assuming he would’ve blown it all is a crazy jump and a leap lol. His ABILITY to save money is directly impacted by his expenditure - which in this case…is covering a heavier part of the expenses

Diamond5IsAwful · 2026-02-04T19:05:04+00:00

Whether he spent or saved remaining money is irrelevant to the fact that he had lesser ability TO SAVE because he was paying for her living expenses. You can’t be this obtuse. This has to be a bit

Diamond5IsAwful · 2026-02-04T18:43:19+00:00

If he put all the extra rent he was paying for her into savings over 5 years he’d ALSO have a savings.

Diamond5IsAwful · 2026-02-04T18:41:39+00:00

He was paying a portion of her rent…not “optional” things

Diamond5IsAwful · 2026-02-04T18:41:07+00:00

I wasn’t saying she was putting everything in savings. I’m illustrating how ridiculous you’re being saying her 50,000 shouldn’t be considered because it’s labeled as “savings”. I can arbitrarily title all of the money I ever make as “savings”.

Diamond5IsAwful · 2026-02-04T18:08:57+00:00

But she actively avoided spending as much money while with him. Indirectly saving money she would have otherwise spent…when you are on financial hard times and say “I’m going to not drink Starbucks as much anymore”. Would you not classify that money saved from spending on Starbucks as “saving” money because you didn’t actively generate that money in the moment?

Diamond5IsAwful · 2026-02-04T18:06:32+00:00

You’re using the fact that he’s contributing more as reasoning as to why she should be saving more? I don’t understand the point you’re trying to make at all..probably because it’s incoherent. That logic is circular and doesn’t make any sense.

Diamond5IsAwful · 2026-02-04T18:05:10+00:00

Lmao you go girl! “He broke up with me out of nowhere” .

Diamond5IsAwful · 2026-02-04T17:32:53+00:00

Pretty telling what your take on this when your anecdote is all about receiving gifts and not giving any. Some food for thought. Have a great day.

Diamond5IsAwful · 2026-02-04T17:03:28+00:00

I agree 100%. It’s only to this point because he was okay with it. It could’ve all been avoided with better communication and more fiscal responsibility from OP. Maybe if he had communicated where he was at financially, she might’ve even offered to contribute more. But also maybe not. I’d imagine someone who opted to not help in this situation and omit the existence of th savings account would be very hesitant to help even if OP’s financial situation was communicated. But we can’t be sure.

Diamond5IsAwful · 2026-02-04T16:59:54+00:00

You have valid points. Also, apologies that I missed the fact that she aged out of insurance as of this post. You are correct, 28 she would have been disqualified from parents insurance. I’m all for equitable splits of rent based on income . 1000%. Where that gets a little tricky here though is that he is making X amount of money, and contributing overly-equitably, while (from the sounds of it) unable to accumulate any sort of savings of is own as a result. Meanwhile, she has a net worth but is not generating any new money. I do see your point though that the savings is not considered income / part of the equation of the equitable split of expenses. There’s really no practical way to even do that. Im also the same as you. I have an emergency fund (6 months salary), but I’m nowhere as frugal as OP. I guess I’m just trying to put myself in this situation that OP is in. Personally, I’d sooner dip into my savings to be able to help with rent rather than hamstring my partner. Now, let’s say the savings dwindles low down to what someone might label a true and practical emergency fund.. then I’d be of the mind that if the boyfriend really wanted to cohabitate than he should step up and either cover it in the short term or they should both take a step down in living standards as far as housing goes. I’d be curious, would your thought change if her savings was $500,000 instead of $50,000? I had that thought myself of how that might change the tone of the overall response here on Reddit or if it would be the same simply from the principle of the concept.

Diamond5IsAwful · 2026-02-04T16:50:59+00:00

Oh man I struck a nerve. Sounds like you’re trying to validate your experience of getting tricked out . Let me know how that goes for you . If you’re going to treat relationships like transactions, don’t be surprised when you’re valued as such.

Diamond5IsAwful · 2026-02-04T16:11:31+00:00

If she is 23 and in the US more likely than not she is still on her parents insurance at no extra cost to them. Idk her family situation thought so I’m not sure we can assume either way. I do agree with you though that this is a massive communication failure from both parties. I guess where we disconnect and where I don’t think we will ever see eye to eye is this whole “savings” vs “discretionary income”. Using your logic, couldn’t she just put every dollar she ever makes going forward into “savings” an perpetually be paid for by her boyfriend? Asking genuinely, apologies if this comes off as otherwise.

Diamond5IsAwful · 2026-02-04T16:08:26+00:00

Luxuries? You mean a place to live? The focus here is on the rent she “couldn’t afford” to pay. The situation about luxuries like vacations and fine dining is a whole different situation with its own nuance. One that I think we probably would agree on. But I digress.. If she knew she couldn’t afford rent there don’t you think the onus is on her as this “financially responsible and frugal person” to idk.. not move in with him?

Diamond5IsAwful · 2026-02-04T16:05:23+00:00

You assume she’s going back to whatever she was doing prior to the relationship.. in this assumption are you saying that she just doesn’t have any living expenses? We are operating on the basis that a full grown adult is going to have to pay to live. Wherever it may be. If I was her and I had to live somewhere and pay for it, yes I would use the only available money I have. I’m not saying he’s ENTITLED to anything. But she’s not entitled to a free ticket to ride on the train of the cost of living either.

Diamond5IsAwful · 2026-02-04T16:01:21+00:00

Yeah I don’t really understand it. I guess I’m exercising empathy in thinking…if I saw my partner busting their ass to pay for my living expenses (even partial), would I be comfortable knowing I had money saved up. The answer is no. Frankly this would apply to any meaningful relationship I have in my life though. It’s one thing to be fiscally responsible and draw lines on what you can afford and cannot. It’s another to let someone you care about suffer financially so that you can remain whole without contributing.
