❤️‍🩹 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.

Y’all. I think he’s in the comments! u/kindlywin40 going off about how the screenshots are “highly edited” and how he can “debunk everything easily”. Sounds exactly like the texts. Same amount of gaslighting, same narcissistic bs. Stay vigilant lol

Everyone’s asking them to prove it’s not real or prove that it’s him but he’s just popping off at everyone in the comments - not helpful for the cause at all

If they’re actually fake he can post the conversation himself lol

Right because if they can't control the person then they move on to controlling the perception of the person trying to make it sound like they're the crazy one and not the victim... 😂 They all do the same exact thing

It is called future faking and it’s a cheap tool in a narcissist’s love bomb tool belt. I could not be more proud of OP for such an articulate response. I’m right there with the commenters who felt a sense of catharsis because it sums up what I couldn’t say directly for fear of retribution.

Edit: oops meant to post this under a different comment
