I think the OP should actually get a huge gently caress off, stainless steel desert eagle in .50AE and open carry it everywhere he goes. It will both prove his virility to his woman friend and intimidate any would be assailants.

This situation sounds like a good way to end up dead or in prison. You’re suffering from Oneitis; reality is she isn’t that great because she’s emotionally using you without offering you anything in return. This will never change. Quit torturing yourself and quit talking to her.

That sounds a lot like the last girlfriend I had before I met my wife. A scary amount like her in fact. I just had to walk away, you should do the same. It's not easy, I know, pretty sure you and I are a lot alike based on what you are saying here. There's really nothing else for it though with the way you describe her. Just channel the energy you put into her into finding someone that appreciates you and puts in work also. She's out there. As to the gun question. Go buy some bear spray. That will serve you much better in your present circumstance. Then, if you still want a gun, we can help you out. I'd highly suggest starting with any number of guns in .22lr so you can get good at shooting before you graduate to something that can be used for self defense. It will save you a ton of having to fix bad habits later, and you can get legitimately good at shooting, which will translate to harder recoiling guns that you pick up later. A lot of people think they should just buy one gun and be done with it, but for those folks bear spray would work much much better for their purposes. Or pepper spray i guess. I'm in Montana so I can get free cans of bear spray from friendly car rental folks who have a big box of it that they get from people who can't bring it home with them.

This is also true if you'reactually trying to protect yourself from bears tbh. Tool for the job. Bear/pepper spray is also a lot easier to use properly and safely.

You should buy a dog instead. Not for protection or anything, just sounds like they would be a better companion than your ex. Plus, lots of walkies.

It would exhibit a complete disdain for him while also demanding his constant attention, so he could maintain the experience of dealing with his ex, but without the angry boyfriend. Perhaps this thread should head to PI to further assist in the selection of a life companion.

My man, if you are still reading this, listen. The relationship you have with your ex isn't healthy. This doesn't mean that she's a bad person. It doesn't mean that you're a bad person. But I'm telling you, as an unbiased third party- I've seen this story before. I've seen people I know go through it, friends, family, co-workers. It doesn't end well for either of you. The relationship dynamic you share with her is untenable. It's clear you're still attached to her as more than a friend, and it's clear that attachment is going to drag you all over the place. You're going to argue. You're going to have fights. Things will get better before they get worse, probably for the same reasons you broke up to begin with. Look: OP posted:I'm generally a person who gives freely to my friends, but I'm starting to feel taken advantage of. Am I overreacting? How do I address this? Should I address this? Should I just ghost her? Is it a big ask? What do you guys think? I want you to read your own words, and think about what you've written. You were in a 'deep existential funk' ( probably depression ), she was unhappy, she left. Your needs, your well-being in that sentence? You don't seem to qualify them as important. You "give freely to your friends". This is a noble trait when you do it because you're a mature person who shares responsibly. But with the way you write, I am guessing you give to please and appease. You're insecure in your self, your relationships. She's "the only one you want". Why? And what about you has changed that would make this relationship work now? You remind me of me when I was younger. That person was not a pleasant person to be, or be around, and he brought a lot of his suffering down on his own head. You don't need a relationship with this woman, or anyone else- not now, because other people will never make you happy. You gotta make you happy, OP. And it sucks, and it's hard, but trying is better than doing nothing. And once you get to a place where you can accept this as truth and start working on yourself, you can worry about other people. If you've got money enough to think about buying a gun, you can research local therapists, find one you can afford and have an honest discussion with a professional about yourself, and your feelings. don't buy a loving gun Nipponophile posted:I disagree. OP should buy a cat. It would exhibit a complete disdain for him while also demanding his constant attention, so he could maintain the experience of dealing with his ex, but without the angry boyfriend. And if the cat doesn't work out either, he'll need a revolver.

OP, I'm all for people being armed to the teeth, but what you need ain't a gun. It's to drop that woman like a rock, and go get yourself on some antidepressants. Then, after you've stabilized, and you're all good, if you still want a gun because guns are cool, I suggest getting a Ruger 10/22, because they're a great and cheap place to start. But seriously. Sever, meds, maybe find someone professional to talk to. Sounds to me like you're going through some poo poo outside of the lovely ex, and getting some help might make the difference.

Yeah. Two actually. They are amazingly good pets, but are extremely social and they aren't the kind of pet you have if you can't be around them most of the day. Fortunately, when young they love hiding in your hands:  and in a paper bag during the teenage stage:  You can get them from a game farm. Boo was just a day old when we got him. They are kind of like a little puppy. Big drawback: they are always underfoot. You have to learn to shuffle sort of so that you don't step on them. The males like Boo (or the first one we had Opie) are also kind of big into the pecking order. Fortunately, they are tiny and when they fight with you can't do any damage at all. They also think they are feet. Which does mean if they like you they will rape your foot. Which is pretty funny. Mostly it does mean that they will like certain people, and not others. Overall super pleasant, charming but not overly loud vocalizations, distinct personalities, likes/dislikes and habits. Very very imprinted, so you can take them outside and they will just hang out with you. The only time we ever had issues was in the teenage years when they were learning to fly and would fly into a tree and be too afraid to come down. Opie also about brained himself on a window, but after that knew about them. Boo never had that problem, he figured out the magical force fields without having to injure himself. All in all I'd say that if you are a bird person, and you can have someone home most of the time, quail are a ridiculously cheap, and ridiculously excellent pets. Opie used to fly down from the top of the bookshelf where he slept in the morning to get under the covers with me where it was warm. They can't really be house trained, but they are so small and their droppings are so inoffensive that you can pretty easily clean up after them. Mostly just put some towels down where they hang out much of the day (typically in front of windows, they like to keep an eye out and warn you about predators). Otherwise droppings elsewhere don't really smell much at all, dry quickly, and vacuum up easily.

I think this guy needs some advice from people more in tune to what kind of pet best replaces an ex who are still emotionally attached to. A gun doesn't seem like the solution to this problem. Maybe a gun that shoots puppies. Are those a thing? I'm kind of leaning Pomeranian because they're needy and high maintenance, but that's just me going with my gut. PI please help!

OP how tall are you? If you are Very Tall, might I suggest a maremma sheepdog. Don't have to worry about your lovely ex's shittier new bf because a maremma won't let them in the door. Also good for disposing of any spare children you might have and protecting valuable livestock.
