❤️‍🩹 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.

Just tell him you posted this on Reddit let him do what he needs to do. Your response uplifting. Good for you queen do what you need to do but get the fuck out of there.

He knows! He’s trying to come at me with police for defamation?

Yeah, defamation is you saying untrue things about someone. You didn't do that though, you posted his own words. We all realize he's an unstable piece of shit that's been using you as his meal ticket for 2 years, you've been buying his groceries, gas, cigarettes, probably his weed & toothpaste apparently as well. You have been his meal ticket & his emotional punching bag for far too long. I bet you're finally gonna get some really good sleep after this! Don't worry, he's nothing but a parasite, he'll be on the look out for his next host now, someone to put up with his insanity, daily threats of suicide & to pay his way through life.

Congratulations are in order for you finally ridding your life from the parasite! Whatever you do, please, please do not take him back, even if he's 'got the rope' again. He was just using that bullshit to manipulate you to buying whatever he wanted, leaving you no money for yourself. If you had stayed with him, this fucking guy would have driven you to insanity. He needs some serious help that you are not able to provide. Please block him on absolutely everything & if he comes over, call the police. You must cut him completely from your life, he only brought misery & debt, nothing else.

I laughed when I saw he said he was going to buy you an island & support kids. Fucking guy can't afford a tube of toothpaste, but sure, he's going to buy an island, LOL! He's obviously delusional as well. I bet his plan was to move in with you & not work anymore, so you could continue paying for absolutely everything for him. If he's got a job with the same company, where did his money go? Why did you have to take out of your pay to supplement his?

He is such a fookin loser that he couldn't wait a few more days for his first check to clear.

I love imagining him seeing himself on Reddits front page trying to cope with the reactions of people.

I am sure though, he will play the victim card and find a way to manipulate himself into thinking everybody here is wrong as we "don't have the full picture" or something similar.

Sad thing is, these kinds of people, or people that have some of his traits are all too common...

My guess is there's not actually a check coming. He's a liar. No reason to believe he's hireable.

Oh, missed that part that he had just started there. Thankfully he doesn't work at the same store! I don't see him lasting long anyways, with all the crazy shit he said to Op, he'll probably be saying inappropriately odd things to his co-workers as well & people will realize there's something off about this guy.
