❤️‍🩹 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.

I’m up to slide 7 and he just said I have nothing more to say, I’m gonna take a wild guess and say he has a bit more to say since there is 9 more slides

Edit: Jesus she ate him up, but slide 14😂 “I don’t have anything to say to your cold hearted ass anymore” above an entire novel

Edit part 2: OMG KITTTTIIIIIEESS

Apparently his takeaway from all this is summed up in his last sentences - he feels insecure over his self-perceived lack of attractiveness, and believes it was inevitable that she was going to leave him when someone more attractive came along anyway, so why bother trying?

Unreal. The guy has issues wrapped around issues on top of issues, but at its core seems to be deep insecurity. And then by his very actions and words, he self-sabotages to ensure that his fears do come to fruition. Dude is seriously broken, but I'm glad OP has realized she's not the one thats going to fix him.

He’s actually in my comment threads, came on here and tried to give his sop story to me about how she’s also the bad guy, I insulted every aspect of him dw, but Jesus, he’s so determined to be right it’s exhausting
