OP in story 1: " I stuck around while he flirted with me even though it made me uncomfortable, stayed at the DMs house sleeping on the same couch as the DM even though I rebuffed his advances, and talked to him continually after my boyfriend has passed even though he kept flirting with me and giving me breakdown. Also OP in story 1: What time is the session? Sure, I'll be there. Not entirely blaming the DM for this one. Remember kids, no D&D is better than bad D&D but also remember sleeping at the homes of creepy uncomfortable people outside of your game is never a good plan either.

[@PaladinGear15]

Ah I've got to mention this now I've remembered it, one time years ago, a friend of mine invited me to play D&D in his new game. We talked to the DM, he seemed cool if a little vacant, and after we've all made our characters, we join the call to start the game, and the first things the DM says is like "okay this is gonna be awesome! I've always wanted to play D&D. By the way I didn't read the book yet, how exactly DO you play D&D?".

As for the paladin, democracy is not a reason to take away a characters agency. Alignment is flimsy as is, the paladin broke no oath worthy of losing his power. But hey, becoming an antipaladin is cool. The moment they try to take the magic sword, though, I'd have killed them. They wanted to force a paladin to turn evil, that's cool, but they suffer the consequences. An antipaladin would not give up their things because the party asked, and its their fault the paladin is in this mess. And because the antipaladin's goal is saving the elves, the party is, has, and continued to actively belittle, impeded, and even contribute against that noble cause. The moment they asked for the antipaladins sword and detrimented their goal is the moment the anti paladin should have shown them what it means to be an anti paladin. Antipaladins do not bend to the weak and justless.

Why the heck does OP in the first story think they were the problem? Jay and Martha were absolutely the assholes there.

That's how gaslighting works. The abuser tries to turn everyone around on the abusee to make THEM feel guilty and as if they were the problem, often using lies and other deflecting behavior. That's why it's so harmful

[@mikem2849]

I get the feeling Jay and Martha had a very bad relationship, especially since Jay kept trying to get OP to sleep with him. Martha probably didn't have the balls to confront her husband so took it out on OP instead, and probably felt justified because "this is the bitch my hubby is cheating on me with" whether it was true or not.

I know it took me a year or so to fully recover from my own gaslighting experience.

[@reimannsum9077]

Because she has something of a guilty conscience, and is desperate for the affirmation that others can provide her through their responses to her twisted story, due to the fact that she was clearly having an emotional affair with Jay and Martha's concerns were entirely justified, even if they were all "in the wrong: for different reasons. The OP spent untold hours in deeply intimate, late-night text conversations with the man who, supposedly, traumatized her so severely with his interest that she had to be hospitalized due to her emotional issues. There is much more going on here than she claims in this narrative weaved to render her the victim because so many details of her responses and active quest to engage with Jay do not add up.

[@NEKOEVE]

Geez we get 4 stories. Story one : There's something to be said about staying in a bad situation, at some point you're a bit to blame for continuing to show up to assholes who mistreat you games. Story two : Your character would also be rightfully in game pissed off when suggestion ends. Ya NPC's usually aren't around when a spell ends, you very much are. Sadly the most mature thing for you to do is probably what they did, said their piece and left. They could have also brought it up privately with the DM, but it'd likely be a similar blow up. Lastly you don't have to try to make bard and rogue look like the assholes, they are hands down the assholes here. Story three : Doge pretty much got it. The Druid is likely whatever the most fitting "ist" would be in the situation and the DM didn't have enough of a back bone to tell Druid to get over herself. Good on buddy and the store owner for kicking that group out of the store. Story four : An petty act of being a dick revokes your whole life of trying to save the world, Screw that. If they really want to harp on it, have the DM retcon the action and move the hell on. Ya an Anti-paladin ain't really great against demon but they are really good against a party of assholes if you wanted to go down that route, they provoked you enough.

I had a friend who only gets in toxic relationships. During high school one girl had to monopolize his time, and if he wasn’t paying attention to her she’d be upset. When we did dnd she “HAD” to be apart of it, but she never learned the rules, never payed attention, and was just mean. We told him to dump her many times, but he didn’t until she threatens to commit suicide if he did, because she was crazy.

[@theinquisitorisamage1653]

I dunno if you're still friends, but I hope your buddy got out of that situation or wised up. Regardless of gender, having some asshole use suicide to manipulate anyone is absolutely disgusting behaviour.

[@classicrockkid345]

I'm surprised OP didn't decide to go for the "I'm too stupid to be mind controlled actually" I woulda done that the first time.

[@mikem2849]

As an aside - I've found that people saying "I hate the term 'toxic people'" or similar is usually a pretty good sign that they're in a relationship with a toxic person. I was the same way for years. I hated that term, because I always felt like it was being applied to me, because I was friends with a guy who would treat me like crap then rant about how "toxic" and "out of control" I was when I told him he was being rude. I spent almost a decade believing that I was an out of control rage monster who had to shut myself off from others, when the worst I ever actually did was call him an asshole for canceling plans at the last minute or the like. The funny thing about toxic people is they have a crazy way of making you think YOU'RE the toxic one.

[@Devilhand21]

Yikes. For the final story, I would have brought up every evil act the rest of the party has committed and that if I lose my powers over something this petty, than they are more chaotic evil than me since they have done far more evil and should be kicked since they are playing chaotic evil characters, not chaotic neutral, and would tell the dm that as good of a campaign this could have been, the party ruined it for me since they are the real evil characters here and that I won't be coming back for another session with this group ever again. I may be harsh, but when the rest of the party is literally performing more evil acts and forces the dm to have me lose my powers over something that wouldn't be all that bad, yeah, I'm going to be harsh. I may also sound entitled, but when everyone ruins the fun of one person and straight up bully them because they forced that change, yeah, my reasoning is sound imo.

[@Thundarr100]

I’ve heard the story about the barbarian PC being magically controlled by the other players before (Crispy’s Tavern or Crit Crab I think?). I’ll repeat here what I said there. The barbarian had an advantage that the magical characters didn’t consider. A low intelligence and . . . RAAAAAGE!!! Here’s what I would have done. After the players refuse to stop mind controlling my barbarian, at the beginning of the next game I would ask them each to pick a random number between 10 and 20. After they make their choice, I would write down their chosen numbers next to their characters names on my character sheet. Then during combat I would rage. After the combat ends I would then roll a d20 and check it against their chosen numbers. If the INT check matches or exceeds their numbers, my barbarian will recognize them as allies. If I roll low, then I’ll confuse them with the enemy and attack. Squishy wizards with no spell slots left and only d4 hit points per level won’t last long against a raging barbarian with 18+ STR, Rage powers, the Power Strike feat, and who sees him as the enemy. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Blah, favoritism in D&D sucks for everyone, literally everyone, it sucks for the players who get left in the dirt by the favorited player, it sucks for the DM who's favoriting because now their game is unbalanced and harder to manage, and it sucks for the person being favorited because now they're missing out on a real experience and instead getting coddled at every turn.

Demanding first pick of all loot..Then add to it all, her Thayan Princess backstory & Extremely Evil/ Stupid Alignment = " I can do WHATEVER I WANT , BECAUSE I'M THE MAIN CHARACTER of this Story. .."( retching noises from us 😬) the rest of us were like: ' WTF are we doing here ?'

I suck at social cues, so if I make people feel uncomfortable, I have a hard time picking it up, so, if that's why I was banned, WHY NOT JUST TELL ME SO I CAN STOP DOING IT?

Alright, my sympathy for this individual evaporated when she indicated that she "rebuffed the DM's advances for years" when they both, for some reason that wasn't suspicious to the wife, "slept in the living room together on separate couches." You get out after the second flirt. Come on now. Leaving for months and then coming back because "her dice were still there?" Really? Uh, uh. She also reaches out to him for late night texts - initiating contact with someone who supposedly left her deeply uncomfortable to the point that she had to be hospitalized because his flirting is what sends her into a spiral? There is so much more going on here that she is lying about and obfuscating in order to diminish her culpability in this situation. "Everyone is the asshole," here. The actual story: I was flirting with Martha's husband; she knew about it and made my life a living hell while also showing me that she had a special relationship with him, using private sessions and leveraging in-game favoritism to do so. At the same time, the dirtbag we were both low-key fighting over played us both like idiots.

I hope the op in the first story can end up finding a good group to play with, it can be annoying when the GM and one of the players are married. For instance, the GM for my game has us play out intro's before our characters get together. I wasn't really in the mood for it but tried anyways but the intro the GM had setted up didn't match my character so didn't feel like doing it and decided to skip it. Later I opened up to their spouse ( another player, direct message instead of group chat ) about how I was feeling at the time and what not, they instantly went to their spouse ( the GM ) and told them basically everything was I saying and went into a kinda defence mode. So now all the games we are doing are being put on hold till the Gm writes a book of how to interact with the GM.

Not as anxious as I am now and putting my foot down more just more or less conveying that it isn't always as easy as it looks to tell somebody off and can sympathize with some of these OPs. [quick edit because the youtube robot apparently hated the original post due to f bomb]

@@WyntheRogue I get not wanting to outright yell at them but at the minimum….just leave if you are not having fun no talking required. If that’s to hard then you have deep rooted issues and you need therapy and d&d shouldn’t even be on ur to do list you should be doing your best to get better. D&d is an escape for people like that you will never progress if all you do is escape, fix yourself then come back and play d&d as a regular hobby instead of an escape from a terrible reality it doesn’t get any better unless you get out of your comfort zone (speaking from my personal experience)
