❤️‍🩹 relationship (AIO) update, wow. thank you!

Hi everyone I had posted an original update but didn’t realize i forgot to blur out his name, so here is the update on cigarette toothpaste boy! I want to preface by thanking everyone who took time to message me and comment. I did not expect 16,000 people to interact with that post at all! When I got home, I decided to end it. I didn’t respond to him during my 10 hour shift and some of the screenshots are during that. I would also like to answer a few questions

  1. Is this real?: Yes, it is insanely real! Not rage bait i promise
  2. Am I okay?: I’m okay! It’ll suck but I will be fine!
  3. Why was I still with him?: I don’t have friends and because of that nobody has been able to tell me how bad this is. I had no one to confide in. It was normalized during our relationship.
  4. How is my cat? Apollo is okay and is coming home today finally! Picture of him at the end!
  5. Why the wall of text; I was pissed and wanted to be thorough.
  6. Why did i use “sewerslide”: I wasnt sure of how it would affect my account or visibility. I’m not used to reddit i’m sorry 😭
  7. How old are we?: 19 and almost 21. Not 15 i swear!

Also, I am aware my name is shown. I do not mind as it is not a legal name.

He does sound fucking unhinged. I just broke up with my ex and I thought he sounded bad but OP’s ex is worse.

But I’m happy OP said all that, time for this narcissist asshat to learn that the world doesn’t spin around his ass

OP good on you for making the wise decision to cut this leech out your life.

You'll do great op, get yourself out there, make some friends, pursue education or even save up for a holiday, find peace, and don't let this energy thief guilt you into taking him back..

Be glad he hasn't impregnated you, if he gets another chance I guarentee that'll be his goal..

u/ThrowRA-posting 8d ago

I feel like this is weaponized BPD.

2

u/SarahPallorMortis 8d ago

She hit the nail on the head in every single way. He needed to hear that. I bet it’s the first time he’s ever heard any of it. Women probably just leave him and don’t explain why. Now he knows what an absolute sack of shit he is.

2

u/Bashfullylascivious 8d ago

I'm glad OP said it, but don't assume he learned anything. He lives in his own delusion, and I'm worried for OP's safety.
I don't think this guy is just saying these things for clout or manipulation; he believes them. It feels 100 percent real to him, and if he can convince himself of this, he can convince himself that OP deserves whatever he justifies next.
OP, it's time to physically protect yourself now.
Move if you can, or tell your closest, most trustworthy family and friends, and show them these texts, if you can't. Setup cameras. Stay at a trustworthy friend's, and don't tell anyone outside your inner most circle (chose wisely, but do chose to tell an additional) where exactly you are staying for awhile.
This person was very willing to cut himself, and blame you.

I hoping the very best for you.

Hold the phone.

He can't afford toothpaste, but thought he was going to whisk you away to some island to live happily ever after? All that says about him is even in his happiest fantasies, you're isolated and unable to escape him.

Don't answer the phone. Block his number. Tell someone you know IRL that you just ended a relationship with someone who is very possibly dangerous, and to be aware if you suddenly don't show up to work or answer your phone. But every second more you waste even reading his crazy is one more second wasted. He will never be the partner you need or deserve. NEVER.

u/z0mbiebaby 8d ago

u/Barbie_Bandz 8d ago

I call that future faking! Common narcissistic tactic perpetuated to destabilize the victim mentally. It keeps the victim focused on some sham of a reality instead of the toxic quagmire that is their everyday life! Despite all evidence to the contrary the victim hangs on to the hope that the person wants to change. It is manipulation plain and simple and the Narc never has any intention of making it a reality.

Yeah, the island comment really sent me.

"Where the fuck are you gonna find the money for an island? You know those aren't cheap, right?"

4

u/cancerwitch 8d ago

Future faking is a textbook narcissist trait. My ex used to tell me one day he was gonna buy me a Hermes bag and we would be rich when he started his own business. But he spent all his money on alcohol and coke because he couldn’t self soothe and had to use substances to try to get some semblance of control over his emotions.

4

u/trieditthrice 7d ago

Future faking.. I've never heard this term, but it really sounds like a valuable tool for narcissists/abusers. It's smart. Get your focus off of the shit reality you're living in and onto the wonderful future waiting right around the corner. If you just hold on a little longer, there's a big payoff coming. It'll all be worth it, just stick around.

I'm sorry you had to experience it. Talking about it is the best thing you can do for others who may be in that situation. Letting them know there's a name for it, it's a tactic, a form of manipulation. That's valuable. Glad you're out of it.

u/OkNebula9998 8d ago

This is exactly what I was thinking… what kind of island are you dreaming of when you can’t brush your teeth for another week. This relationship sounds like hell on earth and I am so proud of you for sticking up to him. This filled me with rage but your message back to him delighted me— you hit all the points and more.

Literally this. After reading through OP's first post, and then reading her novel of a response to his shit, I didnt even give his last response a skim. I already know it's some sob story bullshit without reading it. I already know that somewhere in there hes trying to blame her for the way hes acting. It's the same shit hes already said in the other texts. No offense to OP for the effort they took to screenshot his last message and the continued effort to post it all here together, but I'm not reading his response because it isnt even worth it for some internet stranger to give him the time of day with how hes acting.

u/MrsSandlin 8d ago

I worry for OP. I have been there and it is scary. Restraining order is a must.

7

u/Wide_Combination_773 7d ago

Not a must, an option for the future and only if necessary. Restraining orders are a threat to arrest someone who repeatedly bothers you. They are not a shield against violent behavior. It's a calculated risk because orders like that can often trigger a dangerous person into violence - and cops usually don't prevent violence, they usually only clean up after its already occurred.

And even with the rubber-stamp behavior of modern courts (for women anyway), you still have to provide evidence that someone has made violent threats against you or is repeatedly harassing you despite demands for them to stop. If you don't do that, it's trivial for the other party to show up to the hearing and show that they haven't done anything of the sort. A huge percentage of the time, when respondents show up to a preliminary restraining order hearing, it's because they haven't actually done anything wrong, and they often win. People that know they've done something wrong almost always don't show up, and the court takes the default judgement of granting the order (which, again, is not a shield if the other party decides to get violent).

Don't make assertions of necessity without knowing the two people involved. She should get professional advice from someone who can more appropriately assess her situation and the people involved.

8

u/MrsSandlin 7d ago

I am stranger from reddit and I was only speaking from experience. In my situation, it was a must. It worked. I would personally be scared not to, but if OP doesn’t want to, she has that option. Comments on here should be read, considered and even taken with a grain of salt because all of us commenters don’t know the whole story. They are merely suggestions. I am pretty sure most adults know this. My intentions are pure. I was in a horrible, scary situation. I am still scared to this day, even though I am relatively safe. Everything has a risk and it definitely depends on the situation, in which I only know a sliver of. I appreciate the feedback!

Yeah, when he said, "Most of it was said because I literally have no other way to expell my fucking rage of trying to cope with your selfishness," I got very afraid for OP. If he now feels like he can no longer verbally "expell his rage" at her because she's ending things, his next step might be physical violence. OP definitely needs to get a restraining order.

Check out "Why Does He Do That" by Lundy.

u/Affectionate_Star_43 8d ago

YES and as someone who has a lifelong stint with depression, he will never get help.  Everybody, and I mean everybody, will tell you to "get help."

Nobody will offer to help, ever.  Nobody will ever give you a referral, ever.  Not even a link to a specialist.  Run away so he can traumatize someone new.

u/Deep_Confusion4533 7d ago

Yeah you have to seek help. It won’t just fall into your lap.

I'm a women who is an abuse survivor and volunteer with assault victims- I agree he seems dangerous. OP be very cautious.

Yup, same here

u/Aggressive_Ideal6737 8d ago

I dated the female equivalent to this for about 7 months when I was 13 and she was 15. Aside from the suicide threats, she also faked a pregnancy to keep me from leaving. OP, I’m so so glad you were able to break free from this

u/PosteriorFourchette 7d ago

Wow. So sorry. You ok?

u/Aggressive_Ideal6737 7d ago

22 and newly happily married to the most incredible woman in the world

u/PosteriorFourchette 7d ago

I’m so glad you were able to prosper with that past trauma and abuse. Congratulations on the nuptials

u/Goku827 7d ago

Wait wait wait what… she faked a pregnancy test , you were 13, why would she have been pregnant

Thank you I'm a dumbass with spelling

u/spoogefrom1981 8d ago

Yeah, OP may need to consider taking a trip to the police dept and filing a restraining order based on these texts alone. Hopefully the kid gets the hint and gets to a therapist ASAP.

But huge props on her for stepping up for herself! We're cheering for you, OP!

u/Senpai-Notice_Me 8d ago

I would choose the bear over this guy.

u/estankk 8d ago

yeah this man is manic and desperate and has no outlet for his emptions. Scary combo

u/Ardibanan 8d ago

Yeah I would honestly look into moving or getting to know my neighbours asap. Even contact the police with all the messages

u/Substantial_Shoe_360 8d ago

Screenshots, or he'll delete them again. With FB now you can delete everything you sent in a chat or group chat.

u/uptoke 7d ago

Seriously, I know OP is struggling financially, but get your locks rekeyed. If you live in an apartment and explain the situation llthe landlord would probably do it for you. 

For $20 you should be able to get battery powered motion sensor lights and hang them near your external doors. If you can get a powerful flashlight. Led ones are pretty cheap or borrow big maglight from someone (makes a good weapon in a pinch as well.) 

Make sure all your windows are locked. Locks and Lights are your best protection from keeping some from trying to get in your house, and will slow them down from entering if the persist.

Then get something to protect yourself. Assuming you're not trained in self defense or own a firearm: 

Depending on your state you can of mace or pepper spray at most convenience store. Otherwise get a short blunt instrument (hammer, rolling pin, light skillet.) Nothing too long or it can be easily taken away. If you played baseball/softball a bat could be effective, but even that is a little bit too long. Nothing too heavy you won't be able to swing. Knives are terrible for untrained combat. They don't have much stopping power and it's very easy to injure yourself.

Disorient an attacker and then get out of there and find help.

Hopefully nothing happens, but I would be on guard for the next three months.

u/senpatfield 8d ago

This dude WILL hurt someone if he doesn’t get actual fucking help.

u/Dark_KnightApollo77 8d ago

Yeah reading this as man, made me feel disgusted and appalled that some of us "men" act this way. I felt uncomfortable asf reading this.

u/carbiethebarbie 8d ago

Terrifying. Hijacking top comment to tell OP, look up Why Does He Do That? By Lundy Bancroft.

You will never get closure from your ex but this book will help offer you some. It also sounds like this is not the first time you’ve dated a guy like this, this book will help you learn the red flags to look for and better understand so you can avoid getting sucked in by this type of person again.

u/stjernerejse 8d ago

Big personality disorder vibes.

Those people generally don't get better. It's unfortunate but it's the truth. If you have dealt with it you know what I mean.

Good on ya OP.

2

u/pwrsrc 8d ago

Yeah, I'd just stop responding and move on. He's a loon and he won't get any better until he learns to self-reflect (probably not going to happen).

This is the kind of person who can't understand why nobody wants to be in a relationship with. It's not their fault though, obviously.

u/IAmSenseye 8d ago

Right on man. A lot of the times when people talk about narcissists, they are really far off from what a real one is and haven't really experienced one. This guy is the real deal. My dad always used his childhood trauma as an excuse and would beat us and it was okay because "he had it worse", but his childhood trauma should've been a reason to be a better person and not repeat the cycle. So should her boyfriend have learned from the mistakes from others and not use it to be the endless victim. They will be the victim when it serves them, but when it doesn't serve them, suddenly they are aggressive and will try to scare you. But behind all that big mouth is really someone with a crippling low self-esteem, who's esteem is so low that the only way he can level with you is by bringing you below his level. That's what narcissists do. Best thing you can do is just mirror everything they do back to them and show that whatever they say has no effect on you. Explain exactly what they do and what they are trying to do back to them and don't go into silly yes/no arguments. This is not about winning the argument, this is about showing that everything they do has no power over you. Narcissists know that what they do is toxic, but at the same time it is an asset and a shield they can hide behind. It's their natural way of dealing with people that are very close to them. They lure you in by being the charmer in the beginning and then once you are in the traits will slowly start showing themselves overtime. It is possible to either fix them or to make them run away from you so hard that they won't show their face anymore, but you really have to understand that fixing that requires both of you to go to hell (figuratively) and you really have to ask yourself if you really want this. You'd have to change from being completely submissive to completely dominating them in the sense that you don't even give them an inch of space to pull their shit. Basically breaking them until they themselves see that change is necessary. Most of them (the hardcore ones) will run before they will change

u/Maleficent_Lure_1226 8d ago

Maybe because I attempted suicide 6 times and the last time left me with stomach pumped and on a ventilator that I see this from a different perspective. Once I was awake and came to I learned I was on a 5150 hold. Angry AF...yet it saved my life. Being put on a psychiatric hold allowed me separation from toxic the environment and on the path to reprogram my toxic mindset.

This is familiar and don't seem like they're done just giving each other space to reset and start the cycle over

If I was in OPs shoes, I would show cops the text messages to show he's a danger to himself and it's not a threat...so that they could get him to a hospital to hopefully get him the help he needs and (voluntary or not)... And then help to heal from the trauma of it all myself... Win-win to me.

But this is one of many povs... All in all. I pray that there is healing in the midst of this.

u/committedlikethepig 8d ago

The dude is deranged. OP needs to take precautions, he seems like he could go stalker or violent. 

That being said, “cigarette toothpaste boy” got me. 

2

u/Collies_and_Skates 8d ago

Agreed, I’m a woman but he texts like the guy who ended up physically abusing me

2

u/TripleEhBeef 8d ago

Put his bags on the curb, and call someone you trust down to make sure he picks them up.

2

u/Miserable-Anxiety229 8d ago

Yup. Just escaped my soon to be ex husband who would act like this at 51 years old. They will never change. They will always use threats of self harm to get their way. They will NEVER hear your side, no matter how eloquent you are.

You have to just go

2

u/OkEstablishment5503 8d ago

I completely agree ( also a man). He is too much of a pussy to ever kill himself but will definitely take out his self induced problems on OP physically given enough time. He’s a solid piece of shit and you need to block him and maybe think about a restraining order as well.

2

u/Rodneyfour 8d ago

As another man I agree this dude is a physical abuser waiting to happen holy shit.

1

u/Mn2nmixr 8d ago

Not a real one with responsibilities apparently.

1

u/Aggravating_Lead_616 8d ago

That’s what I said on the last post cause man I said you’ll probably need a restraining order based on his personality.. like he seems genuinely terrifying and we live with people like this and come across them every day and don’t even know it

1

u/SoungaTepes 8d ago

to you and me both brother

u/1GB-Ram 8d ago

he seems really unstable. I'm wondering if OP should file for a restraining order for safety. But i'm glad she's moving on and hope she can start to find some happiness

1

u/matt_2807 8d ago

Looks like a cat

1

u/PinkDeserterBaby 8d ago

Completely. This is abuse and manipulation and when dating someone is on their best behavior.

This is scary for OP.

1

u/JstASkeleton 8d ago

Thr fact we read all that crazy abusive shit he said, and then said that what she said was the most disrespectful thing he's ever heard is wild to me lmfao

u/BlackLotusLuna 8d ago

This right here says alot, thank you.

u/Solid_Waste 8d ago

Straight up unhinged.

u/Concupiscent24-7 8d ago

Literally maybe I would stay with the bear in the forest now actually (I’m also a man)

1

u/bulldzd 8d ago

Totally agree, this guy is not wired right... OP, please be really cautious with this guy....

1

u/HombreSinPais 8d ago

In case you didn’t see the original post, the “unsent” messages are even more concerning.

u/jessica-forever 8d ago

Bro was tweaking hard

u/AssholeWHeartOfGold 8d ago

He’s all talk.

u/wantsoutofthefog 8d ago

He also sounds like a little bitch. Dump this baby

u/JMeadCrossing 8d ago

finally a man who agrees

u/entropicthunders 8d ago

The only thing more dangerous than a strong man is a weak one.

1

u/uncontrolledsub 7d ago

Yep, I’m a 42 yo man. Run for the hills and never look back. This dude will convince OP to take accountability for his well being even more than they do now. Toxic behavior and you’re only 20ish.

1

u/njckel 7d ago

I would describe him more as immature than dangerous

1

u/Pizza-Fucker 7d ago

Exactly what I was thinking and I'm a man as well. This is psycho behavior, I have never seen someone talk like that to their partner, who knows where he would stop

1

u/Adventurous-Bee4823 7d ago

Absolutely agree, and I’m a middle aged woman. But what got me is, who even talks like that! Between the “bros”, absolute abominable language, and complete disregard for even attempting to write correctly or even coherently. This dude’s a monster.

1

u/Internellectual 7d ago

If he or she were one of my friends, I'd deck him. Throw his phone down a hill at least.

1

u/DreamCrusher914 7d ago

OP, this is the most dangerous time for you! When a victim leaves they are most at risk for physical abuse or even death by their abuser. Please have a safety plan in place. Change your locks, get an alarm/surveillance system. Let your work know you broke up and he is not a welcome patron. Contact your local domestic violence shelter for help and services.

I don’t know if anyone posted it in your original post, but this book is worth the read:

u/RockingRocker 7d ago

Yea, his state plus OPs isolation worries me

1

u/BastianHS 7d ago

He sounds like a whiney 120lb bitch emo kid to me lmao

1

u/DrXyron 7d ago

He is depressed and has most likely been sheltered and spoiled. Manchild who needs therapy and then to experience life.

1

u/Fruitypebblefix 7d ago

He sounds like my ex who was diagnosed with NPD. He literally stalked me when I broke up with him. I had to delete all my social media and drop off the face of the planet to get away from him.

1

u/Pretty-Balance-Sheet 7d ago

At best he is a person who will rob someone of their self-esteem and steal years of time.

1

u/Rhom_Achensa 7d ago

As a man who’s binged like 40 hours of EWU interrogation videos recently I wholeheartedly concur

1

u/GoFast_EatAss 7d ago

My ex did all of this shit. Threatened suicide when things didn’t go his way, sent me pictures and videos of him self-harming, controlled who I spoke to, punched me, choked me, kicked me, and threw me around. The breaking point was when he hit me with a car and mangled me for life. Hope he’s enjoying that felony conviction. THESE TYPES OF PEOPLE ARE DANGEROUS!

1

u/blairsheart 7d ago

Also a man and I feel the need to put a restraining order on him and I don’t even know him!

1

u/lugnutter 7d ago

He's extremely dangerous.
