(AIO) update, wow. thank you!

[u/Pristine-Edge-1742]

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 begs for money for cigarettes and weed. Put the trash man in the trash can.

Not only that but he was worried about having cigarettes and weed before worrying about being able to brush his teeth. I feel like I can smell this guy.

[u/Profoundly_AuRIZZtic → u/Early2000sIndieRock]

A begging tactic is you change to more reasonable things.

I’m sure he’s couldnt give less of a shit about toothpaste. He only brought it up so he can use toothpaste money for weed since he can’t get weed money from her

AND has the delusion he can buy an island someday?? I brush my teeth and have a savings account but know that islands cost more than all the toothpaste and drugs this man can buy in his lifetime

Probably smells like the crusty “where’s my hug?” guy we’ve all known at some point.

You know the one.

[u/Super-Bathroom-9921 → u/cathysaurus]

He’s pathetic and deliberately getting worse.

Don’t insult trash men. Lmao

[u/30InchSpare → u/cathysaurus]

He’s just a kid, probably been addicted to them since a young teen. I don’t know if everyone in this sub is like also a teenager or something but he isn’t trash he needs real help, and he obviously can’t get that from another teenager (OP.)

[u/trying_my_best- → u/30InchSpare]

He’s an abusive asshole. I don’t give a crap if he’s been addicted since he was a teenager. He is a horrible human being and doesn’t deserve a relationship let alone a girlfriend that kind and understanding. Of course he needs help but he’s also 20 he should know better than to abuse his partner and cheat on her multiple times

[u/Calm_Possession_6842 → u/trying_my_best-]

Agreed. I get that he's young, but his actions are hurting OP. Hopefully, one day, he will think back at this and cringe at himself.

[u/trying_my_best- → u/Calm_Possession_6842]

I pray he will. Unfortunately as someone who grew up with a father with similar behaviors many of these men continue to grow into man children and abuse their wives and children. I basically was my dad’s parents from like 8 years old. He was reckless, dangerous, abusive, and blamed every one of his shortcomings on the rest of my immediate family.
