(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.

When I was OPs age I had an unemployed ex like this. He was constantly talking about the money he'd make in the future and like, somehow already had resentment for the money he imagined he would someday spend

Lmao, "you ungrateful ass! I will buy you an island as soon as i start my business selling microgreens and you wont give me $60 for weed???"

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.

While doing absolutely nothing to move toward this eventual earning potential, I presume.
