Where abouts you do you live ? I ' m in Cardiff at the moment on holiday and obviously couldn ' t travel with any dank <| sep |> Stop worrying about belt promotion . Work on what your instructor is pointing out as your weak areas and focus on those . If you do not realize what you are doing wrong , ask your instructor . It is that simple . <| sep |> lol . way too overpriced <| sep |> And even if Obama eventually comes around and does something about it , and I doubt he will , Trump can just undo it in January . El Trumpo has a personal investment in the fucking thing . <| sep |> Reeds back , super thankful for that . <| sep |> ! Thank you for taking the time to transcribe this ! <| sep |> So what he did , separating you two is pretty common in abusers . They isolatw their victims any way they can and it sounds likenthis guy actually likes what he does and has some talent for it . As to your friend , this is also pretty common . In fact his showing that he could have you was even calculated for that decision . She doesn ' t want to believe that she was that wrong about someone . She ' s been convinced that this guy chooses her bwcause he loves her and his abuse is just him overreacting because he loves her . She is fluxuating between desperate lonliness and feeling like he is one of the people who truly care about her because that ' s how you make an abuse victim stay . I suggest you push your way back into her life . Tell her that messages like that are never a joke and that you were the one that had the respect for her to tell her what happened . He only ever made excuses . Tell her that she just chose some asshole who proved willing to cheat on her over you who are her long term good friend and that it hurts . Tell her that you love her and that you are not ready to throw that friendship away even if she is . Give her a chance . You don ' t have to , but it sounds like you want to and that ' s my suggestion . Good luck OP
