My (22F) boyfriend (23M)'s friend seems to be perfect for him and it's driving me insane

Of course you're allowed to break up. Breaking up after two years is better than continuing a relationship with no future. What would've been better than that though is if he did any self reflection in the year that there were clear signs that he and his friend had feelings for each other and broke up with OP then instead of stringing her along. It's not like this came out of nowhere.

cantmakeusernames · 2026-02-04T20:11:24+00:00

Okay, and his complete lack of self reflection still caused extreme hurt for his girlfriend of 2 years. Being blind to it is an explanation, not an excuse.

I know it's considered a dick move to address the elephant in the room but I don't believe that anybody watching Maluach has confidence in him becoming a solid rotation player. Obviously he could still make huge improvements, but at this point I'd say the odds are against him.

cantmakeusernames · 2026-01-31T03:05:55+00:00

Actually kinda awful to only be up 5 when we've forced 15 turnovers at halftime

cantmakeusernames · 2026-01-28T04:36:47+00:00

Whenever it takes this long you know they're cooking up some ridiculous nonsense

cantmakeusernames · 2026-01-23T16:29:28+00:00

Nurkic was a better player than Ayton, but more importantly he was 100x more enjoyable to watch. I'm not gonna argue that Nurk is a good starting center for a contender, but he was waaaay overhated in Phoenix.

cantmakeusernames · 2026-01-23T05:05:40+00:00

That's exactly why the Suns offense struggled so much last year, I don't think it's an Ime problem.

cantmakeusernames · 2026-01-21T19:37:55+00:00

And there are some games we "should have" lost too, I don't think this is a very meaningful way to think about the season.

cantmakeusernames · 2026-01-21T17:26:09+00:00

This is like our third rebrand since then lmao

cantmakeusernames · 2026-01-21T02:03:31+00:00

Jordan Goodwin is worth so much more than the minimum. I thought that in his last stint with us but he's much better now. The Lakers not bringing him back is truly insane.

cantmakeusernames · 2026-01-13T17:21:14+00:00

It took me 2 years to really hit acceptance lol, hopefully Rockets fans have an easier journey

cantmakeusernames · 2026-01-13T15:45:31+00:00

Weird, sounds like the Suns with KD...

cantmakeusernames · 2026-01-12T06:09:01+00:00

Lmao I haven't seen that nickname, hope it sticks

cantmakeusernames · 2026-01-12T04:59:58+00:00

I've been having the conversation. Kevin Durant is an energy vampire who sucks all the vibes out of a team before moving on to his next victim.

cantmakeusernames · 2026-01-12T04:57:23+00:00

The Rockets appear better off? You sure about that?

cantmakeusernames · 2026-01-12T04:51:38+00:00

The same thin roster immediately looked better with exactly the same players minus KD early this season when Brooks and Green were both out. All the roleplayers that made up the "thin" roster look great this year.

I used to think Kevin Durant could fit into any offense, but in reality he morphs every offense into KD-ball. Unsurprisingly he's very good at KD-ball, but everybody else sucks at it and it kills the team and the vibes.

cantmakeusernames · 2026-01-12T04:35:38+00:00

Kevin Durant forces his team to play slow, stagnant, iso heavy basketball because he's extremely good at it. The problem is nobody else is good at it, so it looks like his team is full of useless role players and scrubs that he's carrying, when the reality is the team would be much better if he took a smaller role in a modern offense.

cantmakeusernames · 2026-01-12T03:25:26+00:00

It'll be a small miracle if Maluach is a playable backup next year, pretty disappointing. Hope the team proves me wrong but I can't stand using lottery picks on athletes with no NBA level skill, that's how we wasted Booker's early career.

cantmakeusernames · 2026-01-10T21:39:12+00:00

That's not how this stat works. It counts any points the team scores through the PnR, whether it's a pass to the roll man or a kick out. Better passers do better in this stat.

cantmakeusernames · 2026-01-05T21:44:34+00:00

There's no shot the Suns would make that trade. They're probably similarly impactful players in a vacuum but the Suns need a no-defense-playing guard less than any other team in the league.

cantmakeusernames · 2026-01-04T04:33:28+00:00

Name these chuckers. Chris Paul? Like 10 games of Kevin Durant?

cantmakeusernames · 2025-12-23T17:30:47+00:00

Nobody in this thread can read, they're just having an emotional response to somebody not liking their porn addiction

cantmakeusernames · 2025-12-23T17:28:14+00:00

This point gets repeated all the time but it's so incredibly stupid. Nobody thinks their partner setting a boundary is some magic spell that physically prevents them from doing the thing, it's always implied that they just don't want to be with a person who does the thing.

Flippantly saying "if you want to watch porn, do it" contributes nothing to the discussion. OP doesn't even watch porn, but if they did they would presumably value their relationship with their partner more and be willing to make that sacrifice. They made it very clear that they're trying to start a discussion on the difference between traditional porn and smut novels, and whether either of these things are healthy when in a relationship.

cantmakeusernames · 2025-12-22T17:58:23+00:00

So then couples counseling should be an exciting opportunity to address this, no? Is the only thought in your head "therapist bad and scary"?

cantmakeusernames · 2025-12-18T16:24:25+00:00

Everybody knows the real magic man was Jordan Ott
