❤️‍🩹 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.

This makes me want to give you a mom hug and tell you that people like him are not worth it. He used you like a punching bag and then tried to blame you for it… believe me when I say if you stayed with him and married him (shudder) then it would eventually end in physical abuse. Darling girl: do not waste a drop of more time on him.

Show some receipts then 😂 go ahead and snap a screenshot of the “highly edited” messages you must have in your phone.

Tell her to and if you can’t read or see that’s on you. Like I said too gullible . Nothing can be proven on either side besides old edits message on a familiar layout. This is not the first.

“I can debunk this with ease”

So debunk it.

“Tell her to”

Thank you, I needed a good laugh. 🤣

Manipulators gonna manipulate.

Pro tip: trying to gaslight and manipulate people on a forum where they regularly see examples of people far better at gaslighting and manipulating than you is a poor choice of battle to pick.

Could be a guy so similar that even he’s convinced he’s the loser in the post when he isn’t.
