I can’t beat my boyfriend at chess

I can’t beat my boyfriend at chess

I’m new to chess, I started playing a few months ago. I sucked didn’t understand the pieces and managed to somehow get my elo to 250, after that I took a break. I recently started playing again, I understand the pieces much more and got my elo to 350! My boyfriend always says if my elo is 400 then that makes me a good chess player lol.

I’m wondering if anyone has any tips on how to reach 400 elo? I would also love tips on how to finally beat my boyfriend lol. I’ve only won against him when he’s handed me the win or guided me.

Also I SUCK at 10 minute matches, I always get tunnel vision & blunder. I can only do somewhat okay when it’s 30 minute matches. Wondering if anyone has any advice on that

For reference here is my most recent game (I’m sausagegamer) https://www.chess.com/game/live/169946259802

And here’s my most recent game against my boyfriend https://www.chess.com/game/live/169730886458

Hii I’m really sorry to be annoying, I’m starting Elden ring over due to someone deleting all my progress. If anyone would be kind enough to drop some ruins I’d greatly appreciate it 🥲

Boyfriend wrote me a 5 page love letter, I’m struggling to read it all

My birthday was on may 10th, my sweet boyfriend mailed me a 5 page love letter as one of my birthday gifts 🥲unfortunately I’m struggling to read some of it. If anyone could take the time out of their day to type what he had written I’d greatly and deeply appreciate it

Update: some of u guys are miserable. 1) I never said his handwriting was bad? English isn’t my first language. 2) he’s out of state for work and I haven’t been able to have a full on conversation with him, ive been waiting to ask him to translate and the time hasn’t been right so that’s why I’m here asking.

Me (F24) and my bf (M22) are going through a rough patch primarily regarding his relationship with his sister and I wanna end it but I don’t know if I’m being crazy and need to reevaluate myself.

Him and his sister used to make fun of me and gang up on me ALOT. To the point where I’d go nonverbal (I have autism) i put up with it so much to the point where I cried and I always felt crazy because I was told “it’s just jokes” or “that’s how it is growing up in a Hispanic household” or his sister would say “I don’t feel like I’m ganging up on you” but it was always at my expense and felt like constant ganging up on me. He ended up apologizing and said he acts that way to “fit in” he said he’d work on it.

Time went on and he resorted to rage baiting me in front of her instead of making fun of me. I expressed that I didn’t like that either. I don’t want him to be lovey dovey with me in front of her, I just wanted him to act normal the way he does with me one on one when she’s around.

He said he’d work on it again but they constantly gang up on me. We even had an issue where I’d tell him and his sister no and they’d both pressure me to do / say whatever they asked. I tried setting a boundary saying “I don’t like when you guys pressure me” and his sister said “she up nobody cares, move on” and my boyfriend laughed at me. They’ve both apologized but I feel like that shouldn’t even happen to begin with??

Yesterday it happened again with them ganging up on me and he said he’d felt like an asshole because he didn’t even realize he was doing it.

I know this is wrong to think but the whole time I was talking to him and his sister yesterday I couldn’t stop thinking “I can’t wait to get away and spend time with my friends”

Now whenever I speak to the both of them at the same time I go nonverbal because I’m too scared of being picked on.

I don’t know if I’m overreacting for wanting to end the relationship because I don’t have a close relationship with my brothers so sometimes his remarks about “this is how siblings are” “this is what a Hispanic household is like” gets to me. He’s also told me that I’m sensitive so I feel like maybe I’m just being too much.

Edit: thanks for the input, I was honestly scared to ask because i really did believe that I just didn’t know how to take a joke or understand a family dynamic. I felt like I was being brainwashed at times and it was working for the most part because I’d go to bed mad / upset with myself for not being normal enough to understand them or take a joke.
