Sleep-Talking Boyfriend and Emotional Abuse

• 💡 The original poster (OP) describes her boyfriend, who is wonderful when awake, but says mean and annoying things in his sleep, often triggered by her movements.
• ⚠️ These sleep-talking incidents, including being told "I can do better than this" and having a blanket aggressively taken, cause OP significant distress due to past trauma.
• 💬 Despite initial guilt and reluctance to discuss it, OP eventually brings up the sleep-talking, leading to her boyfriend's suggestion that she should have "slapped the bejesus out of me" and his agreement to try nights without alcohol.
• 💔 A later update reveals OP's realization that her boyfriend was an alcoholic, leading to a severe incident involving spaghetti preparation and his subsequent verbal abuse when she confronted him.
• 🚀 OP eventually left the relationship after her boyfriend threatened to expose her past struggles with alcoholism on his blog, realizing his actions were not love but blackmail.

Extreme Pizza Diet and Avoidant Eating Disorder

• 🍕 A separate story features a 25-year-old woman whose boyfriend eats pizza every single day, is picky about it, and refuses to try other foods, claiming to be high-functioning on the Spectrum.
• 🚩 OP expresses concern over his unhealthy, restrictive diet and his plan to document a 10,000-day pizza streak, which she believes is selfish and sets a bad example.
• 🗣️ Despite his claims of therapy, OP sees no progress and suspects he is only placating her, leading to resentment and a potential ultimatum.
• 💔 The relationship deteriorates as the boyfriend reacts with rage and threats of blackmail when OP insists on addressing his diet, ultimately leading to OP leaving him.
• ✅ In a final update, OP reports being happily free of the relationship for nearly four years, with no contact, and reflects on her past denial and the value of Reddit's community in helping her see the truth.
