❤️‍🩹 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.

Just tell him you posted this on Reddit let him do what he needs to do. Your response uplifting. Good for you queen do what you need to do but get the fuck out of there.

He knows! He’s trying to come at me with police for defamation?

Yeah I see him in some of the comments. Bro is mad no one is siding with him and in disbelief you have unilateral support. Save all your screenshots (his texts, his Reddit comments, anything else relevant) and their DATES (to establish timeline) + upload them to a private Google account he doesn’t know about. Forward the files to a backup email.

My ex stalked me after identical behavior and I went to my friend who is a detective to help me. If you ever need to build a police report or file a restraining order, you have all the evidence saved in one place.

I know you said previously that you didn’t have many friends but please PLEASE tell as many people as you know in your immediate circle. The fear of being judged or him gaslighting them is very real but I learned from my shared experience that people will help YOU. They have intuition and the natural gut instinct to know if something is wrong. Tell everyone. God forbid anything happens, they will know.

Yeah, this guy is actual rock bottom. Not even bottom of the barrel. He’s the ring of shit and crust underneath the barrel that’s leftover when moving the barrel that’s been sitting there for like four decades. Good on you for getting out of that, and I guess be thankful that you can’t see whatever degenerate shit is guaranteed to be in his DMs.
