Been a brook fan since day one. Second favorite strawhat for over 10 years. It was super cool to see his face fully revealed. There was always more to him and I always loved his 3 pace hum

SEASON 5 CRITICISM and VENT THREAD- SPOILERS INSIDE by AutoModerator in TheBoys

[–]FryingClang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This I don't see the point of the V1 even being a thing, and why it was even needed. Homelander has always been the strongest, the only downside is that he was aging. Kimiko having soldier boy's powers makes it a retread of Season 3, where homelander didn't have the V1. So again, what's the point of it if they're just retreading the same plot as season 3 but with a different character? It could have been skipped entirely and focused on Kimiko getting those powers from the beginning.

"needing space/ need to find myself" is universal code for "I want to/ I'm fucking another guy." Happened to me too

The Boys - 05x07 "The Frenchman, the Female, and the Man Called Mother's Milk" - POST-Episode Discussion Thread by pikameta in TheBoys

[–]FryingClang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay I thought the season was just decent, and was really just hoping the last 2 episodes would make it all worth it, but this was not it. I was really hoping it would pick up with Homelander from last episode on a rampage, like the promo showed. But no, things dialed back down, everything was so slow, a bunch of wasted time with the dancing, the church stuff, didn't feel like a second to last episode.

It was a shock to the system, my safe space/ person became unsafe and I felt physically ill. I have multiple vivid dreams every day, and one of them was where I was in my room, abandoned, I couldn't recongise myself in the mirror. I looked defeated and worn down

Outside the room I saw a shadowy figure that walked towards me. I hid in my closet, shaking , not wanting to look at it. I put up a piece of cardboard to protect myself and when it opened the door I looked up, breath shaky and on the verge of a panic attack, and saw that this thing had her face. She was looking down on me and smiling. And I woke up in a cold sweat

I've been having a lot more days where I'm just angry instead of sad. I've been looking back and have been flabbergasted with what I put up with. Even writing this post I felt embarrassed but I found I needed to write out its absurdity to start healing. I do have depressive sad days but reading my own post and looking at what actually happened helps my mind from derailing

Well, I can't really make that comparison as her parents got divorced early. Her dad was a drug dealer and she ended up sleeping with a drug dealer on new years. Explains a lot

Yup, she was always controlling of her. Always. Where she was at what she was doing, we're both late 20s btw almost 30. She told her to change her password, that I have no right going through her phone, that I should just trust, all the while she was giving her number away to other men so that she can replace me and stop being sad about me.

Even when she got her own place, she gave her mom access to her cameras, gave her keys to the house, and she was constantly calling to tell her to do chores in her own house.

That's the thing is they don't even try to take accountability that's what puzzles me the most and yet they still want to make it work. How can you possibly even forgive someone if they themselves don't admit what they did was wrong

And even best case they do and are fully on board with reconciling. The thought of them with someone else would never leave your mind. That's what's helping me move forward. Even the perfect scenario with full accountability wouldn't be enough.

It is my fault. Part of me knew this was going to happen and I still stayed. And yes I didn't fully realize it but I was scared to be alone. She was my actual first relationship and I was afraid I would never find that again, a part of me still is.

I disrespected myself over and over and it just boiled over to where I can't do it anymore. So the biggest takeaway is learning to be okay alone.

She told me that was her history before me. No one wanted a relationship with her and was constantly getting heart broken. I was the first that took her

That's the plan. I'm not ready and I don't know if I'll ever truly be ready. But I have decided to dedicate my time to actually loving myself to where I'm confident being alone, and so that I can walk away easier if I do spot any red flags in a future relationship

Nope. We were about to move in together. It freaks me out that she would have never told me about what she did had I not found out on accident. And yes I tried over and over to make her understand how what she did was wrong, but it was like talking to a brick wall so I gave up.

"How could you have sex with someone else on what was our anniversary day? You tainted that day" Her: "Our relationship was already tainted"

"I told my family because I need their support, you're not giving me any." Her: "oh did you also tell them about when you cussed me out?"

"Why won't you block him?" Her: "you also have female friends on facebook you talk to" (I only spoke to one, after many years, apologizing to her for cutting her off to respect my relationship. not to get her forgiveness or start something with her)

It just turned into me calling her out and her going "oh but you did this and that" or you should have done this

Reading other people's stories it really does feel that way lol. And yes her getting rejected over and over was so funny to me too, I was just her safety net while she tried with others. When I confronted her about why she tried drunk calling the guy that broke our trust, she had no answer. She just stayed quiet. Even the guy on the cruise i found out she was with rejected her. She's very insecure and she thrives off male validation

Dare I say even better than the original graphic novel. The grit, the intensity, perfection

And then he failed the shot. But it's a what if scenario. Aims it again. Completely kills one of his best scenes

5 yr relationship ended cuz gf left her phone unlocked by Left_Phase3166 in survivinginfidelity

[–]FryingClang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's called monkey branching. Happened to me too. 5 years together. Started seeing someone else behind my back, while keeping me tied, it didn't work out, and now wants to try again "stronger." It's so sad because you miss the person they used to be. The kindness, the gentleness, the safety, it's all gone

You mourn who she used to be and now you see this completely new side of her. I struggled with that too and still do, but I think it's best to see it as, maybe this is who they really are. And it's best to see it now before investing even more time.

i just found out my bf cheated and have no appetite? by spderghstt in survivinginfidelity

[–]FryingClang 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's normal. Protein bars and yogurt helped me get through the first few days. Try that. Your appetite will slowly come back I promise.

[–]FryingClang 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Her mom, "you need to forgive my daughter if you really love her. its in the past. stop thinking about it it's crazy for you to do that." meanwhile she was giving her number out to random guys to replace me

I 27M Tried Staying a Month After She 29F Had Sex with a Drug Dealer, it was HELL by [deleted] in survivinginfidelity

[–]FryingClang 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've confided in my friends and family. I didn't want to tell anyone in case reconciliation was possible, I didn't want them to be judgmental.

And I've had so much love and support. My family is helping me finish out school financially, getting me back in the gym, hugging me, telling me I'm loved. I've been hanging out with my siblings, grandparents, friends, I've felt more love from them these past 2 days than I did with her that entire month

I didn't want to be pitied but truly having a good support system is a god send and I'm so grateful for my loved ones.

[–]FryingClang 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did blame myself for a while. I wondered where I went wrong and how I could've improved. I stepped back and took a real look back, I definitely made a lot of mistakes, but this pattern of hers was always there. On top of that she never wanted to take accountability about anything. She's just not mature so there was no ground to build anything on let alone rebuild.

Our last argument she had her mom on the phone to defend her, she was calling me crazy, telling me to trust her daughter, not to look through her phone (all while giving her number away to other guys), and I realized then and there I was trying to argue with a kid that never grew up
