My GF (26) and I (M28) have been together for about a year. I moved here from Nashville, where I had a pretty big social circle, and I still follow a lot of friends, classmates, and people I’ve known for years on Instagram.

Sometimes I’d like photos from friends or even friends’ sisters usually harmless beach/travel pics or life updates. In my mind it was never flirting, more just casual support and engagement. My GF, though, feels like liking those kinds of pictures sends a message and embarrasses her, especially if the pictures are more revealing. She set a boundary about not liking vaguely “inappropriate” photos.
At first I thought she was reading too deep into it because I barely use Instagram outside of a few minutes a day, but I agreed to respect it since it bothered her.

What’s started bothering me, though, is that she posts very similar kinds of picturesk herself, gets attention from random guys, and basically tells me “it’s not my fault who likes it” and that I should just get over it. That feels a little hypocritical to me.

I’m genuinely fine not liking pictures if it makes her uncomfortable, even if my intentions were harmless. But it rubs me the wrong way to be told I can’t engage with similar content while she posts similar content and dismisses my feelings about it.

Am I overreacting for feeling like the standard should probably go both ways?

Edit: I would like to state I would never like a picture if I knew the person on the other end would receive it the wrong way. These were all of people I had grown up with and known for 10-15 years.

I know its not just me, and I'm not saying every control deck needs to be deleted or whatever but I am so over the sleep BS.

You can make the right reads, build a proper backline, manage your resources well, and then the game just turns into “did you wake up or not?” while Darkrai keeps applying pressure in the background. I've played Sceptile, Meow, Zoro, Blaze, and none of it matters. Every time I lose to this deck, I walk away salty because it doesn’t feel like I got outplayed, it feels like I got out coin-flipped. Am I supposed to run Will and Pokémon Center Lady just to deny a couple turns of sleep nonsense? Because then I’m wasting deck slots for the rare 1–2 games I actually get that aren’t against sleep.”

For you sleep players, "it's meta bro" no, its unbearable, and you guys always act like y'all are actually doing something or are actually half decent at the game. It’s clearly not just me being salty. People are already calling this one of the most toxic play patterns in the game, and even content creators are making videos around the most frustrating cards and strategies. That should probably be a sign that something needs to be adjusted.

DeNA really needs to look at this next set, because ranked and tournaments should be a place where players can express skill, not just queue into sleep loops over and over while Darkrai chips away in the background.

Strong decks are fine. Uninteractive coin-flip lockouts are not.

My buddy and I are both busy men, and work a lot during the week. We barely play duos, most of his and my solo matches are care bear as yall say. But we play duos? Hell no, we get killed almost immediately every round lol. And I get it I could definitely improve and put more time into the game if I had it but if I’m just looking to kick back, Saturday night drink some beers and shoot shit how can I do that in duos without getting absolutely shit house every match 🤣🤣.

Edit* solos feels more attractive than playing with friends because I can actually play the game and not get shot in the back 25/8. Is duos just like that? I’m assuming trios is the worst?
