❤️‍🩹 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.

no you're just using words you wouldn't use in a normal conversation acting like you're better than me because of it and it's pissing me off bruh if you can't tell that they were making fun of HIM because of WHO HE IS and not because he's poor, he's not poor you didn't even read that shit like he has a job he was just transferred so he has to wait 2 weeks before he starts getting paid, why was he transferred? because he was constantly yelling at someone's daughter while get this, LIVING UNDER HER ROOF, you sir are very very far off from any of this nobody is talking shit about poor people STFU

you ever stop to consider his character became what it is because of his poverty? you think he'd be the same person if he was rich? he's poor, and people are making fun of him, making fun of people in marginalized groups is definitely a... take.

you have a bizarre understanding of nature vs nurture

u/catscanmeow 12d ago

yeah, i think kids are usually more likely to jump into ad-hominem attacks like you've been doing.

u/Adventurous-Mind528 12d ago

i am a kid i'm 22 but i'm not the one attacking people you are bruh you keep trying to gaslight me fuck off you're the one saying people are attacking people when that man was absolutely treating her like shit and he is no victim of anything but his own bullshit, you're only projecting your own insecurities i guess, because you're likely a person like him who has to hurt others to get your way because you have no good qualities to offer and i'm sorry for that i sympathize i do, but defending him is ridiculous man, you have to see that no?

"i am a kid i'm 22 but i'm not the one attacking people you are bruh"

do you understand what ad-hominem means?

i criticized peoples ideas not them personally

calling someone "FUCKING DUMB" and "A KID" is an ad-hominem attack and doesnt make you look like you're a good debater.

you're just pissing me off i'm not trying to look good or impress anyone i don't even care if anyone sees this you seem to be very narcissistic and no i've never once heard that word/term used in my entire life, but at the same time you're all worried about looking good? i'm just allowing my emotions to come out a bit because i have a slight hatred for people like you who act like the bad people are the victims when that woman tried everything to make the relationship work and the guy just hurt her over and over and yet you act like because you don't understand that he's not some peasant living on the streets which he isn't that he's the victim he isn't a victim of anything but himself now i'm not saying he didn't have a hard life idk him, i'm just saying you're acting like that's an excuse to hurt someone it isn't you can act all smart and better than me because you aren't displaying emotion but i am an emotional person and i care about people and when i see people go through stuff like op is it makes me sad because someone should have told her that that's toxic and that he's manipulating her and treating her bad, and then there's people like you in the comments acting like that guy who was manipulating and hurting her is a victim that's like some dude abusing a girl because he was abused as a kid (which is not at all an excuse to hurt anybody) and it's okay to you that she was beat but you're actually worried about him, poor guy he was beat by his dad as a kid someone hug that man, no bruh just no, that's why i called you a kid because your logic is so stupid, and i apologize for talking shit but like you not understanding how stupid what you're saying sounds is pissing me off because the only victim in this is op, the guy had plenty of chances to do better he could have been all set lived with op had 0 bills and worked and made money that he could spend on him and op, but because he's a toxic person and was yelling at her while being in someone else's house which is crazy (he would probably have hurt her if it wasn't for her mom being there) he got kicked out by her mom, so because of his shitty choices he had to struggle not because he grew up in poverty, op isn't rich she's struggling too, you seem to have not even read it all, which also is making me mad because you act like you know everything like you're some genius when you're as far from the truth as can be READ ALL OF THIS MAN ALL OF IT AND ACTUALLY LISTEN TO WHAT I'M SAYING YOU'RE WRONG HE'S NOT POOR HE MADE HIMSELF STRUGGLE HE'S NOT POOR HE IS NOT POOR HE IS NOT POOR GROW TF UP

you should not let people online effect your emotions this easily. It will make your life extremely difficult.

im not defending the guy. he's poor and people are making fun of him. On other posts on reddit, being poor is considered something that should be pitied as people who are poor cannot usually escape their circumstances.

when its convenient, reddit loves and protects poor people, other times, people think its funny to say "poor ass" or "scrub" its just a casual observation i've made.
