How do you avoid life tilt?

Dude why do you even care enough to fight with your ex. That is the problem. To put it in poker terms your post roughly translates to: "I keep losing playing 42o what should I do P.S folding is not an option".

She fights with you to suck energy out of you. It leaves you mad but it leaves her satisfied because she knows you still care. She's using you.

??? I asked for 17 cents because I wanted to dick around in a 2+2 game and not deposit $50. If he gave me $5, I figured he didn't really care about it. I just didn't want to deposit money in stars. I get my rakeback in stars so I'll send it back whenever I get it.

So, I forced myself to stop getting upset about the things she says and does. As I thought, I feel cold and dead inside now. Awesome. Now I can back to grinding my 4 poker tables.

my ex-gf

and

not talking to her isn't an option.

This makes no sense.

edit: unless there is a child involved

[kurosh]

No, there is no child. You've never broken up a relationship for other reasons but both of you still care deeply for each other?

[Kurn, son of Mogh]

You left the impression that these arguments were not infrequent. It also appears that these arguments seriously impact your tranquility. Not talking to someone(for how long is an open question) who has this effect on you should always be an option.

and remember what Worm said about women.

This analogy will no doubt sound ridiculous to you. Your solution is like trying to learn first aid because you keep getting hit when purposely walking in front of moving cars.

There's millions of woman in the world. Millions. Give a few the chance to show you how nice they can be.
