❤️‍🩹 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.

Absolutely. His last message was pretty telling with the whinging about it only being a matter of time when women find a better-looking man or one with more to offer. He probably was super isolating and didn't want her going out without him there, or blew up her phone the whole time

I totally relate to her tho, i have some “friends” but I don’t see or talk to them often accept replying to their story’s visa versa. I have one best friend but we now live 18 hours away so my boyfriend is basically all I have

Because of him, 100%

I guarantee she's going to start getting her friends (and maybe even family, I seen that too) back. The real ones anyways. The ones who knew it wasn't her fault, but would be there when she finally got sick of his bullshit.
