You should be banned for bad puns - I have no idea what you're talking about. Screw it - you ARE banned for bad puns, making no sense and making me question what you're talking about.

Ok, this I like and had forgotten this. I haven't done this in years. Thank you for bringing this up! Works great!

Sure the first time that you power up a few ghouls you're risking a TPK, but it'll throw them off their game. Yes, it sounds like a lot of work; because it is. Have a rather strange setting to give you excuses for why what normally looks like a temple or inn is really the morgue or private residence. Or screw with them and change the monsters abilities. I had a party that had never faced a red dragon and even though I made them roll for Knowledge about red dragons they still didn't take the hint - they went right along preparing for a fire breathing dragon. They about had heart attacks when that crazy dragon breathed acid all over them. lmao!

Not if they don't know when you're using their rolls - ie: if you yourself have their list and don't tell them you used one of their rolls. Sorry, if I didn't make that clear.
Just as a suggestion that I have tried in the past that worked pretty well - have your players roll 20 d20 and write them down in a column. Have their bonuses for their skills written down and whenever you need a blind roll, just check their list of rolls and add their modifier - and cross them off as they use them. It sounds like a pain in the butt but it works really well.

You are banned for so many reasons I refuse to acknowledge just how many or inform you of all the details. Just know - you are beyond any rational ban.
A lot of good solid advice throughout this post. I would like to add my best wishes and. . . . . As many here have noted - you and your gf both seem to want to salvage the relationship. Nothing is lost until one or both of you give up. There is always hope. If you aren't on anti-depressants, you should give them a try. I personally don't believe in therapists. I have yet to meet anyone that was 'cured' via a therapist. I have however met numerous people that have regulated themselves via meds and was able to either get past their issues and eventually gotten off the meds or has continued on them but is the happier for it. I am one of them. I went through a horrible divorce 6 years ago and have since been on anti-depressants. Since then my depression has all but disappeared and I have regained my optimistic attitude toward life and once again love life. I noted several suggested movies above and I'd like to add to that list:
Good luck with your journey!
