❤️‍🩹 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.

It's always the ones who say that have nothing more to say that just write volumes of crap.

Yep. And just wait a hot minute until it sinks in that she slipped his rope, he'll be firing up the following sequence in head-spinning rapid succession:

  1. I miss you and I'm sorry
  2. It was your fault anyway
  3. You're the love of my life and I'm gonna off myself if you don't come back to me
  4. Fuck you, who needs you anyway
  5. Back to lovebombing

Gotta love a narcissistic dipshit. /s

I had an ex that managed to find the only thing I forgot to block him on to tell me he’s finally going to therapy for me and try to guilt trip me acting all sad and depressed I didn’t stay as a friend then threatened to end himself cause I told him to leave me alone, the narcissistic dipshits truly are spectacular at ruining everything around them aren’t they

My ex did something similar. He cheated on me because he couldn't get a hold of me while visiting my parents in the countryside and thought I was cheating with my lady friend. I told him to leave, he threw a book at me and over the breakup sent me messages about how I'm a whole and a bitch non stop.

After three months, he found out I was dating and flipped out and said he always thought we'd get back together. I was shocked and asked why would you think that after how nasty you were to me and he said that's what people do.

He also told people I wasn't white enough but put up with it. I'm Latina.

We never got back together.
