Ashfaq
1. The “My Way or the Highway” Ashfaq
Ashfaq has a strict approach to how he thinks relationships should work. He’s quick to tell you how things “should” be and gets frustrated when your needs don’t match his own. From your friends to your alone time, everything seems to feel like a threat to him unless it revolves around him. He tries to frame his view as “caring,” but ultimately, it feels like he’s the only one who gets to set the terms.
Special Move: The “You're Selfish” Card – Whenever you set a boundary or put yourself first, he’ll hit you with accusations of being “self-centered” or “entitled,” making you question whether you’re the problem for wanting basic respect.*
Symptoms of Exposure:
Feeling like you’re never doing “enough”
Constantly re-evaluating if your needs are “too much”
Suppressing parts of yourself to avoid conflict

You: “I really need some time with my friends.”
Ashfaq: “So I’m just supposed to sit here while you go live your life without me? You always put yourself first.”
