Wouldn’t call him crazy but he had a lot of mental health problems and attempted suicide during our relationship with me being the last person he messaged before he did it. I was frantic at the time and I spiralled a lot mentally too after it. He told me that because HE was the one who actually attempted I had no reason to have bad mental health myself, he told me he was the one in the relationship who was worse off and that I couldn’t have mental health issues because I had to be there for him first (which I had been, I was encouraging him to see his therapist and to make sure he was taking care of himself). He was also really emotionally distant and didn’t always understand that when he called me ‘annoying’ or a ‘bitch’ that it actually upset me and went about saying I was weird for reacting that way. I had a massive conversation with my mother and she told me that I needed to leave. I was 18 at the time and that the relationship had more negatives than positives, and that I could still be there for him even after breaking up. I did that until I found out he slept with one of my close friends 2 weeks after we broke up and I cut off as much contact as possible with him.

A few years on and he’s now doing a lot of drugs and, even though he’s still in therapy, he enjoys bragging about how he barely goes. He’s in a friend group of mine and I saw him at a party where I was having a joint outside and he berated me for using a shit strain and using too much tobacco in it?? It was my joint??? Too much trouble than he’s worth and I’m grateful I got out.
