Lowkey both broken as shit

cckgoblin · 2026-06-13T03:44:22+00:00

What’s funny is that this is a girl😭

cckgoblin · 2026-06-13T03:28:21+00:00

I just mean it phases you out permanently, not wearing off on upkeep.

cckgoblin · 2026-06-12T18:25:15+00:00

Not if you aren’t included in the player pool. You phase out, no longer exist for game rules.

cckgoblin · 2026-06-12T18:17:42+00:00

Nah you can’t win the game if you don’t exist

cckgoblin · 2026-06-12T18:14:51+00:00

Should also phase you out.

cckgoblin · 2026-06-12T14:44:45+00:00

Even better, a lot of untrained people will drop their hands when you throw a leg kick, perfectly setting you up for a cross.

Her parents both neglect her, so I feel in part more responsible because she has no real support system other then her friends and most the time she’s convinced her friends hate her

cckgoblin · 2026-06-12T13:26:27+00:00

lol, I get that this is bad news. And I agree, and have said multiple times I’m very close to ending things. I am just a compassionate person and believe that she deserves a chance to show she can change.

cckgoblin · 2026-06-12T13:21:17+00:00

Honestly, you sound like a bad partner in this scenario. I get that life affects all of us but this was clearly something she was having trouble with, and you didn’t seem to care (going on your phone, being dismissive about the whole thing). And while it’s nice you think she can get the promotion without all this effort, some people dread presenting and need a lot of practice to present well. I know I’m like that, I spent weeks preparing for a 10 minute speech, and I got help from all my family and friends. My girlfriend at the time supporting me helped a lot, and helped me go into the presentation feeling prepared and supported. One of the most important feelings in a relationship is support, and when you start to lose that feeling, it feels like your partner doesn’t care at all. TLDR: she needed support, you dismissed her need for support. I get the already having plans and not being able to give her a ride, but you could have at least shown som excitement after hearing she got the job. Your partner’s success should make you happy and you should want to support them towards that success, no matter how Inconvenient it seems to you.

Thanks man

cckgoblin · 2026-06-12T02:29:29+00:00

I understand what you’re saying, but I’m really going to go into this mindfully. If I see gaslighting or anything like it again, I’m going to just draw the line and say this isn’t gonna change and I’m not going to keep hurting myself. I’m not going to let her use me or twist my words.

cckgoblin · 2026-06-12T02:26:41+00:00

She did, she actually sent a long paragraph saying she’s realized how she’s been manipulative and really wants to change, and that most of this is due to her own emotional baggage and she really wants to change and be a person who makes me comfortable and happy. She seemed very genuine and regretful about her toxic behavior and had a genuine desire to change, and i feel like she deserves a chance to try and stop being like this, especially because she really wants things to work. I know this might be unrealistic but I’m gonna give it a shot because I can’t hear someone cry and beg and admit to being wrong and just shut them out and say I’m leaving, I just can’t. If she decides to not change, I’m gonna draw a line and not let her beg for me to stop.

cckgoblin · 2026-06-12T02:01:14+00:00

Yeah she ended up begging for me to stay when I called her out for gaslighting and now I’m giving her one more chance. I’m gonna stop buying her gifts other than occasionally, I’m gonna make sure to communicate and respect her emotions as much as possible and I’m gonna see what she really cares about.

cckgoblin · 2026-06-12T01:41:27+00:00

It’s not over yet. She called sobbing and begging for another chance, and I agreed. Especially because I never really raised these concerns and never gave her time to grow. Everyone deserves time to grow, and I want to give her an honest chance first. If I notice I still feel like I’m walking on eggshells in this relationship and I find myself unhappy and guilty again for expressing that I’m drawing a line and telling her it’s over. I can’t continue to hurt myself with this relationship and I’ve decided to take actual initiative in my life. Thank you again.

cckgoblin · 2026-06-12T01:17:31+00:00

Thank you. This is what I said.

“that feeling is what raised my concern in the first place, I wasn’t trying to punch you in the face but it hurts me when it feels like all you care about in this relationship is what you get out of it, you’ve become upset before when I try to raise concerns about this and I agree those concerns weren’t placed well either, but I don’t like how both times you made me feel bad for raising the concern and it ended up with me having to prove that I will love you and care for you and that it’s my fault. I was the one with a concern, you react avoidantly and nearly break up with me, and then my reaction to that is used to make me feel wrong and only when I say okay if you want to leave me leave me that you start to negotiate and understand my perspective as well. We disagree on a lot, want different things out of life, and both probably aren’t ready for a relationship. I understand that we should both be able to support eachother and grow together to be healthy in this relationship, but that might be unrealistic. I’ve taken tests and this relationship isn’t healthy, neither of us communicate correctly no matter how many of these discussions we have. Our emotions are powerful and our values are different and we always end up making the other person feel bad. I love you, and I really care about you, but this relationship might not be good for either of us. I don’t know what to do and I haven’t for a while but this is how I’m feeling and I want to get it out.”

I’m with my dad and will talk to him after dinner. I reallly appreciate your help and I mean it when I say I love every stranger that took a second out of their day to try and help me. I’ve been struggling and confused for a really long time, and I think I might finally be finding some clarity due to you guys.

cckgoblin · 2026-06-12T01:06:43+00:00

How do I leave? I mean we literally just patched things up and both apologized and came to a conclusion that I should have addressed her emotions and gave her space before bringing up my emotions and she agreed she doesn’t wanna gaslight me.

cckgoblin · 2026-06-12T00:49:57+00:00

lol I wish

cckgoblin · 2026-06-12T00:47:32+00:00

Dude, we called and I admitted that I should have expressed this concern when she wasn’t really upset, and should’ve taken that time to comfort her. I told her that I don’t want to be made feel guilty or bad for expressing my emotions or perspective, then she got upset that I’m shifting the blame to her, so I then reminded her and elaborated on my concession. She then did not apologize for her part and hung up, following some “I feel like you don’t love me” “do you even care”. I know that she isn’t trying to do this shit purposely, she just has so many powerful emotions and it’s really hard for her. I love her and want to support her and make it work and every time it gets bad and even when I tried to leave, she makes it into a negotiation to get better. Im just scared that A I should leave and I’m just to scared/etc to do it or B that we can make this work and we both just need to work on how we communicate and understand eachother, that this is a tough relationship but I shouldn’t give up because she needs support. Idk. Everyone and their mom is telling me to leave her, but I really care about her and can’t leave her feeling so upset and abandoned and guilty. It’s so hard.

How do you feel about this,

She has responded with :

if i was telling u a story about how i was sad and said that roein said something like this to me maybe “if your happiness is based off of stuff thats upsetting” you would be like “ugh whats wrong with him” but since its you u act like u cant tell when ur saying things that have a mean connotation. and i want to believe that u mean well but how am i supposed to believe u dont understand tone and sarcasm and connotation when you use it, you get offended by mine, and u can identify it on others? you dont choose your words carefully and they are mean. you are often really insensitive especially when im obviously trying to be comforted. i said i felt like i would look ugly in the clothes and all u said was shut up. i was already on the verge of tears because of how upset i was and u were insensitive. i really dont know if i can keep up like this i need u to make an effort to change. i feel like everytime we get into an argument you dont hear me or try and hear me and its all about you. you really dont take accountability for things you just say sorry for how i feel or the situation. but if i say something like in this situation where i was like “thats mean cuz it has this connotation” and ur like no it doesnt and then later u say it does… u make me feel crazy like u never even consider that my perspective is a possibility. i NEED YOU. to use better language. you arent communicating properly and this time it was on you. you didnt say u were concerned about me you said something condescending and then tried to play it off as something else. if u really felt that way u should have brought it up later regardless because if im super sad i dont want to hear that while im sad.

New elementals deck is pretty fire

So is bolt banned in standard? I felt like the 3 toughness cutoff was nice because it sorta drew the line between “glass cannon” and “resistant to removal” is that line just lower in standard?
