Sup, /tg/. Nid-anon here. Sorry for the late update, but I hope my tale makes up for it.

The Story so far:
For those of you unaware, my ex, who I lived with for nearly 2 years, recently left me for another girl. To make matters worse I had to play against her in a 40K tournament yesterday morning. I play Tyranids and she plays Grey Knights and an Imperial Knight I bought her for her birthday not so long ago. So I came here beseeching you fa/tg/uys for advice, and you obliged along with with the encouragement I needed to see me through.

Parte-Deux: The Prep
>Some hastily bought and painted units
>Lots of encouragement from you and my closest RL friends
>Even more alcohol

Part Three: The Arrival
The second part of the tournament began at 9AM and my first match was against the queen bitch herself. I arrived 20 minutes early with my army, forged in the fires equal parts fury and Captain Morgan, as welkl as 4 of my friends who there to cheer me on.
>Walked in with a sense of determination I hoped my outward appearance showed
>Head right to the tournament chart
>My name has been crossed out, hers has been moved up
>The fuck??
>George, the TO, walks by and my friend "J" calls him over
>"Wha-Oh, yeah. [Ex's new GF] told us you were dropping out and told us what happened. Sorry to hear it, man, but we've got your entry fee at the front desk. Pick it up whenever you feel like."
>Fucking furious.
>"Have they started yet?"
>"They're setting up now."
>I've got to do everyone proud
>"No. I'm still in this."
>Walk into the game room
>>
>>34151156
>See the thieving cunt (the dyke-pocalypse in my lesbian friend's words) walks into the side room
>Luckily she didn't see us
>Get to the table, tell the guy she's about to play that there was a mistake. The schedule's back to the way it was before.
>He has no problem with it and leaves
>she was standing there the whole time with that wide-eyed stare and I'm proud to say I didn't acknowledge her moderate shock
>"Anon, I-"
>You had me dropped from the tournament?
>Friend "E": Seriously!?
>"[Dyke-pocalypse] thought it would be for the best. You were in a mental breakdown. You could barely even get your stuff from my house"
>J: "My" house? It was in his name. Why's she even here? She plays X-Wing and Pathfinder
>Glad he said it before I blew up. It gave me a moment to collect myself a little
>She ignored her. "Look, I'm sorr-"
>Warlord traits
>"What??"
>Roll. For your warlord trait.

As we rolled and my friends helped me put my army on the table I was grateful for the reprieve. The shaking calmed down, my nervousness faded. It was replaced with hatred. Contempt had become my shield.

>Right off the bat her Knight annihilates most of my gaunts,
>Psyfleman knocked a wound off my Exocrine,
And Draigo made a run for the Relic since I have no AP 2 guns in range to hurt them in the open
>Huge mistake
>My turn.
>The Dakka-rant flies up and knocks a hull point off the Knight with warp blast
>The other flies up in in oreoeration to assault the Draigowing next turn.. or so it seems
>He follows up by giving FnP to the gene-stealers that then assault Draigo and his merry band of faggots
>She's not worried, she doesn't thin kthey're much of a threat
>And admittedly they're not... but they'll hold her there for a turn
>After blows are traded 1 Paladin has died and 3 stealers are left
>The swarm has scuttled up the board

Anon, I know it's easy to be pissed at this other chick, but remember that she's now involved with your ex. And it probably won't be too long until your ex 'rediscovers' that she was straight all along and this new chick finds her in bed with some random dude.

Some people are really good at hiding how colossally shitty they are, and some people buy into the deception too easily. The only way out of this hell is to let it the fuck go and stop trying to salvage something from the wreck. You could literally set this bitch on fire and you'd just be twisting the knife for yourself. Don't make enemies or lose friends living in the past, it isn't going to do you any good.

this anon knows what's up. the best thing for you is to walk away. the true opposite of love is not hate but indifference. besides, she may have inadvertently done you a favor. she's sounding like an utter bitch with a side order of crazy, garnished with liar. Find someone better and watch her destroy her current relationship from a safe distance.

I sympathize with him too. I've been there. It sucks giant donkey schlong.
I don't think "need" is accurate. "want" is more like it. regardless, that's just my autism acting up. And we can all agree that the bitch deserves to get tabled, and he'll feel great after he does it.

I'm moving on to the next round tomorrow. Justice was served and I feel a little better, but I probably wouldn't have played against her again her if it weren't for the tournament. Thank you, fa/tg/uys. For spurring me on and giving me the courage and righteous fury I needed to win the day
