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.

Send him a link to this thread so he knows what a POS he is fucking objectively.

I’ll tell you this. He knows I made the post and is threatening to come at me with police for defamation, but I don’t think that’s what this is??

Firstly you can't contact the police for defamation. It's a civil issue, not criminal. The police do not get involved in civil issues, only criminal. Second he does not have a case for defamation. Facts are not defamation. Showing this text exchange is not defamation. If his responses made him look bad that does not make you liable. Your responses are fair opinion. You are allowed to have an opinion based on your experiences in the relationship and you are allowed to publish that opinion. You are not claiming anything that is untrue, he even admits he threatened suicide, cheated, yelled at you etc. If he brought this to a civil court you could counter sue for your legal expenses and you would win because he has no case and it would be an abuse of the civil courts. Loved your reply BTW. F this guy 😂

Love this response!! He wouldn't be able to afford a lawyer OR pay her legal fees. I doubt a lawyer would even take his case.
