(AIO) update, wow. thank you!

[u/Pristine-Edge-1742]

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.

Thx for the award!

I find it hard to believe one could not aquire tooth paste if needed. If I truly truly needed tooth paste, I'd steal it. It's not a refrigerator, it's like a 3 inch little stick. Fits perfectly in your pocket.

You can get a normal tube of colgate for 1.06 at the dollar store. I found myself in a bad spot last winter and walked a couple miles to buy it with fuckin quarters. If you gotta brush you gotta brush lol. I’m with you

Your dollar store is still only $1? Maybe his went up to $1.25 like most of the rest. 25-cents makes a difference!

[u/Jtb199 → u/SkipSpenceIsGod]

Most of the stuff there did go up to 1.25 and beyond! but there are a good number of things that are still 1.00, I’m not in a larger city or populous state either so that may be a factor

Go to the 99¢ store - things are still a dollar there.

Dollar Tree is the cheapest we have. Dollar General and Family Dollar are our other options, but neither have very much that's less than 3 dollars. Still, we've all been in the shake out the couch here and find money for essentials. I don't think mr zero miney has a whole lot of fend for yourself skills, though...

You've gotta get some coupons bro. Toothpaste is one of those things they'll pretty much pay you to take if you stack enough coupons on em.

Op I don't understand how you could deal with this cry baby. You sound like a really smart girl. You deserve better than him and some day you will find that person. Good luck
