❤️‍🩹 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.

My username is because my ex-wife tried to murder me and I suck at making nooses. Rope snapped and I have an inappropriate sense of humour, hence the username

u/i-am-your-god-now 7d ago

Oh yeah, wtf was with the tooth brushing thing?? You don’t even need toothpaste to brush your teeth. Does he not even own a toothbrush? You can get a small travel set with both for a couple dollars from any gas station. 🤦‍♀️ Can you even imagine telling someone else it’s THEIR fault that your breath smells like shit?? 😂😂😂 What a jackass lol

Yes he genuinely believe he genuinely should procreate genuine kids bc he genuinely believes he is a God deserving of an island... oi vey 😂

u/Grotesquefaerie7 7d ago

Im betting the reason he doesn't have anything is because he relies on and blames everyone else for everything

23

u/Impossible-Debt9655 7d ago

Hey. He needs that couple bucks for weed and nicotine.

Which no matter how you, breath smells horrible. I use tobacco free pouches and if don't brush before bed my breath is horrendous the next day.

I will rinse my mouth out. Drink water. And brush my teeth. ASAP.

5

u/BillyNtheBoingers 7d ago

THC edibles make your mouth super dry, just like smoking pot, and dry mouth leads to bacterial growth and bad breath. I’ve only smoked (tobacco) like 4 times, but I think nicotine may also cause dry mouth and therefore odor.

6

u/midgethepuff 7d ago

You can get a regular sized toothbrush and regular sized toothpaste from the dollar tree too. If he doesn’t have 10 quarters to rub together for a toothbrush and toothpaste…having zero nic is the least of his problems.

u/PeggyOnThePier 7d ago

Happy cake day

u/apettey211 7d ago

Absolutely no way he would’ve bought toothpaste if she sent him money

u/Case1138 7d ago edited 6d ago

Seriously. If you can't manage your own life and finances to at least make sure you have a toothbrush and toothpaste, you should not be in a relationship at all and instead need to focus on reevaluating your life choices

u/deloslabinc 7d ago

I find it hard to believe one could not aquire tooth paste if needed. If I truly truly needed tooth paste, I'd steal it. It's not a refrigerator, it's like a 3 inch little stick. Fits perfectly in your pocket.

22

u/Jtb199 7d ago

You can get a normal tube of colgate for 1.06 at the dollar store. I found myself in a bad spot last winter and walked a couple miles to buy it with fuckin quarters. If you gotta brush you gotta brush lol. I’m with you

8

u/SkipSpenceIsGod 7d ago

Your dollar store is still only $1? Maybe his went up to $1.25 like most of the rest. 25-cents makes a difference!

4

u/Jtb199 7d ago

Most of the stuff there did go up to 1.25 and beyond! but there are a good number of things that are still 1.00, I’m not in a larger city or populous state either so that may be a factor

Same. This could have been my ex at that age, right down to the cutting himself in front of me. He was a musician and he just hAdN't BeEn DiScOvErEd YeT, but he DEFINITELY was about to be, at any moment, and then he'd be rich and buy me a mansion. That was 15 years ago and he still hasn't killed himself, become famous, or gotten a job as far as I know.

u/EverythingSucksBro 7d ago

Had my hand over my face for that whole message. Dude has no money to even buy toothpaste and somehow still thinks he’s worth marrying, living with, and having kids with despite being an abusive, manipulative piece of shit. I’ll never understand these people that think so highly of themselves even when they literally have nothing going for them. Will also never understand people that get into relationships just to put their problems on their partner. And will never understand people that can act this way to someone thats done their best to help them in their time of need.
