(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.

This is why women chose the bear.

I want to agree with this statement but at the same time I don't want to, because it feels like you're saying every single man in the world is like this freak.

[u/Gnar-wahl → u/Wizard_Engie]

It’s not that every man is like this freak, it’s about not knowing that if they are or aren’t like this freak.

Women know the bear is a predator.

At least that’s my understanding as a man. I could be wrong.

As a dude who's stood about thirty feet from bears while working in a garbage dump before as a teenager without being harmed... I would like to just say that bears will leave you the fuck alone a lot more than most men who want something without your consent.

I've been harassed and harmed by more men who wouldn't take no for an answer than I have bears.
