            <title>How to get over it</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/947890</link>
            <description>OK, I used to be in this relationship with my girlfriend, who is the clingy type. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How it happened:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER BEGIN--&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;spoilertop&quot; onClick=&quot;openClose('08f43fa084aa5a4be1553096fb41eac3')&quot; style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;raquo; Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... &amp;laquo;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;spoilermain&quot; id=&quot;08f43fa084aa5a4be1553096fb41eac3&quot; style=&quot;display:none&quot;&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER END--&gt;Every once in a while, we&amp;#39;d quarrel and she&amp;#39;d scream and scream. For a few times when I could not stand it anymore, I just turned off my hp.&lt;br /&gt;She&amp;#39;d then harass my friends and my family in order to get me to turn on my hp. On a few occasions I did turn on my hp but she&amp;#39;d still scream like a madman so I&amp;#39;d turn it off again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Long story short, I told her we have problems and we have to rectify them together. I deduced that her problem is that she&amp;#39;s overdependent on me, she has no friends and she feels lonely without me. So, I told her that we should some time off, know some new people, socialize, so that she&amp;#39;ll have more friends and won&amp;#39;t feel lonely. I also acknowledged that I did not treat her well enough and should have paid more attention to her feelings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She has numerous guys on her sms list from the time before we got together, and I asked her not to get too personal with them. I don&amp;#39;t see anything wrong with having some friends so I didn&amp;#39;t force her to cut off ties with them.&lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What happened:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER BEGIN--&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;spoilertop&quot; onClick=&quot;openClose('86dfa7b1b4a75702b3b7b16cd8790b21')&quot; style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;raquo; Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... &amp;laquo;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;spoilermain&quot; id=&quot;86dfa7b1b4a75702b3b7b16cd8790b21&quot; style=&quot;display:none&quot;&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER END--&gt;So, after telling her to socialize with some guys, she told me she had arranged a meeting with one of the guys off her sms list. So our conversation went something like this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*take note that at this point we are only taking some time off and not completely broken up*&lt;br /&gt;Me: &amp;quot;Where is he bringing you?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;Her: &amp;quot;I don&amp;#39;t know, maybe hotel? Would you mind if we went to a hotel?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;Me: &amp;quot;I cannot force you not to go but it&amp;#39;s your decision. I don&amp;#39;t want you to go.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;Her: &amp;quot;If I went, we cannot be together again in the future?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;Me: &amp;quot;Umm... yes I think so&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next day (at night), she called me up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her: &amp;quot;I went out with the guy.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;Me: &amp;quot;And?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;Her: &amp;quot;I did it with him&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;Me: &amp;quot;WHAT?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then she kept telling me what she did and how she did and all that explicit stuff. This went on for a couple of weeks, sometimes she&amp;#39;d say she did it with him and sometimes she&amp;#39;d say she didn&amp;#39;t.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I asked her why she did it and she put the blame on me saying &amp;quot;It was you who asked me to know more guys&amp;quot;. WTF?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I told her about the risk of pregnancy she got worried to the point where she asked me to get Postinor-2 for her. I got angry and told her to call the other guy up, it&amp;#39;s his responsibility after all (furthermore I live 2 hours away from her).&lt;br /&gt;She told me he&amp;#39;s not picking up his phone. I got really furious and asked her for his number.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I called him up, and after a long conversation (in which he told me I should talk to her heart-to-heart blablabla and how she used to sms him when we are quarreling and how he thinks she&amp;#39;s very troublesome and all). In the end he told me nothing happened between them.&lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The story she tells me always changes, and there are many discrepancies so at that moment I gave them the benefit of the doubt. But when I asked her where he brought her that night if nothing happened, she&amp;#39;d go &amp;quot;I don&amp;#39;t feel well don&amp;#39;t ask me&amp;quot; and cut me off. I temporarily made myself forget about it and we spent a nice Valentine&amp;#39;s together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, for some reason I got really curious again and I asked her once more. Again she told me she doesn&amp;#39;t feel well. This time I told her straight up that I actually believe that she really did it that night and this time she didn&amp;#39;t deny it. So, I broke it off with her and now I feel like shit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Deep down, I really hope that she&amp;#39;s only lying to me to make me angry and jealous, but who am I kidding?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How can I get over this? Can I call it betrayal even though we were in the &amp;quot;time off&amp;quot; period? I cannot stand the images of her doing the deed and these images keep playing in my head&amp;#33;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for reading. To the forummer who knows me personally, don&amp;#39;t tell any of our friends about this, thanks.</description>

            <description>Anyone watching this?&lt;br /&gt;It&amp;#39;s produced by Toei Animation, the same company which produced Mononoke.&lt;br /&gt;It also has the same art director.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There had been a few adaptations of the manga but this is the only one that is faithful to the source.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;ve watched the first 2 episodes and I&amp;#39;m interested. Well, partly because I LOVED the style of Mononoke.&lt;br /&gt;The show lacks the FABULOUS Medicine Seller though &lt;!--emo&amp;:(--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here, have some Shoko-tan ED.&lt;br /&gt;[youtube]dHJIGabD5uQ[/youtube]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I predict this thread will die a quick death like the Mononoke thread but heck...</description>

            <title>Ultimate Survivor Kaiji</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/536178</link>
            <description>&lt;!--QuoteBegin-ANN+--&gt;&lt;div class='quotetop'&gt;QUOTE(ANN)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class='quotemain'&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEBegin--&gt;Itou Kaiji is a bum who steals car emblems and slashes tires on what seems to be a regular basis. This routine changes one day when he is paid a visit by a man in a trench-coat. Once the two get talking, it seems that the visitor (Calling himself Endou) is a debt collector. The reason for his visit is an unpaid loan which kaiji had previously co-signed for a work-mate (Furuhata Takeshi). The original loan was 30000 yen and once Takeshi had disappeared, the loan then fell on Kaiji. Kaiji is then told of a way to clear the interest compounded debt (which stood at 3,850,000 yen), which involved getting on a boat with others in his position. Once on the boat the debtors would then have to gamble with loaned money, which would end with a few winning, and others getting into deeper debt and having to work to pay of their debts. After some coercing kaiji accepts a position on the boat, in order to clear himself and make a bit of money as well...&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nobody watching this? From what I&amp;#39;ve seen so far, it&amp;#39;s the anime to watch this season.</description>
