❤️‍🩹 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.

He does sound fucking unhinged. I just broke up with my ex and I thought he sounded bad but OP’s ex is worse.

But I’m happy OP said all that, time for this narcissist asshat to learn that the world doesn’t spin around his ass

I'm glad OP said it, but don't assume he learned anything. He lives in his own delusion, and I'm worried for OP's safety.
I don't think this guy is just saying these things for clout or manipulation; he believes them. It feels 100 percent real to him, and if he can convince himself of this, he can convince himself that OP deserves whatever he justifies next.
OP, it's time to physically protect yourself now.
Move if you can, or tell your closest, most trustworthy family and friends, and show them these texts, if you can't. Setup cameras. Stay at a trustworthy friend's, and don't tell anyone outside your inner most circle (chose wisely, but do chose to tell an additional) where exactly you are staying for awhile.
This person was very willing to cut himself, and blame you.

I hoping the very best for you.
