What should i do about this asshole? * 1
    #25626468 -

I was seeing this guy and he's to thank for getting me into shrooms. We never had a label for our relationship but discussed that we were monogamous and were essentially boyfriend and girlfriend or whatever. I didn't really need a label and neither did he.
He's kinda cooky, typical joe rogan fan, terence mckenna fan, interested in ethnobotany and all that jazz. I really enjoy that he's like that and we had some good times together. In general he's a really interesting, strange (in the best way) and cool dude. However, he is extremely self absorbed. Not in an ego way per say but in like a spiritual intellectual way where he maybe thinks he's smarter than everyone ? i really cant explain it or even understand it myself
We started growing mushrooms 'together' I won't get into too many details but it's at my house which i really didn't mind when we were more so together and everything was lighter. He messaged me recently and said that we should start tapering off one another and that he didn't want me to take it the wrong way etc etc etc. All good,  kinda sad but i respected that and its all good.

Anyways now he refuses to respond to my messages even though he has read them, even when they concern the mushrooms. It was fun when we were both into and had this spiritual connection that we both talked about but now he just seems interested in the final product of the mushroom. I've tried to ask if he wants to see the mycelium, see pics, help transport them into the SGFC etc..

No response, or a response days later after he's read it. Example: he has the dehydrator that we bought, at his place and he's going home for thanksgiving soon and I need it because the mushrooms are about to fruit. I text him to ask if he can bring it over and no response. This happens often.

I don't want to be petty but i also don't want to give him the goods if he's gonna be an ass. He sort of helped but i'm the one who has to pay for the space heater to be on so my room is hot enough, the one who mists the cakes and fans and all that. All he did was put the spores in the jars at the very beginning and then roll the cakes in verm recently. Our original deal was 50/50 which was okay with me at the time, but I've done a lot of the work and was only okay with it when there was an exchange of company. This is so petty thats why its on anon, but what should i do? Our yield is not going to be that big anyways and I'm not trying to be petty, but i don't think he deserves half of the yield. Also he wants to sell them and I just wanted them for my personal use. And there's definitely not going to be enough for him to have some AND sell them.

It's hard too because I've never felt such a connection with anyone but man is he messed up. He says he thinks he has some mental illnesses and I concur, at the very least he's a total narcissist when he's no longer sexually interested.

If I'm taking all the risks, and doing all the work, the shrooms are mine.
Just tell him they got infected, reimburse him the cost of the syringe (if he bought it) and enjoy the shrooms with someone who deserves it.
I'm sure he would answer your texts pretty quickly if he thought he was going to lose his precious crop.
Sounds like he is using you.

Figured as much, just needed to hear someone else say it. I could definitely say it all got contaminated. He doesn't know shit. He was trying to convince me to save a BRF cake that still had green mold all over it.

tell him to eat a dick, or he needs to put out each time he wants a dose.

not entirely free, he bought the spores and almost all of the other supplies. I think all i bought was the verm.
But you're right, he needs someone to say no to him.

Sounds like u need to cut him the deal. The work is definitely off balance and sounds like hes trying to take advantage of u.

Time to put him in his place for not being more helpful.

Tell him how you feel.
Why you are making the decision.
Ask him his opionion and work towards an amicable solution.

Start 5 PSc worth of jars into coir monos on your own.
Maybe you can clone and/or print off these to keep some viable.

Give him 100% of the cakes yield otherwise just to shove it in his face.

Always do the right thing for yourself. For you self perception.
Few Gs of shrooms is shit in comparison to your conscious.

Update: took some of the advice and told him how I felt (over text ha..) he responded better than I thought he would. In the past he has been very narcissistic and replied "its not that deep" to any concern I had.
He said he agreed that I should keep most of the yield for doing most of the work and he'd be fine with a few g's and a spore print in exchange for the money he spent on the spores.

Being spiritual and a fan of Terrence McKenna is mutually exclusive from being smarter than everyone else.

Personally I would harvest anything that comes of it, keep it somewhere else, and scrap the whole project for a while.

Last thing you want is him getting vindictive and snitching.

If he's very suddenly not contacting you, I'd not put any effort into contacting him.

I wasn't saying that being a mckenna fan and spiritual and intelligent automatically means you think you're better than everyone else. I'm a mckenna fan and pretty spiritual and have met others similar HOWEVER there are certain people who start to see the world differently and it makes them feel smarter and superior to others.

I would tell him to go get fucked and the dehydrater is his, and he won’t get any mushrooms.

Cut yer losses girl. You got yourself a real asshole there and there’s nothing that can be done.

Walk away

Basically. He sounds incredibly disrespectful. I would hardly treat an enemy that way, let alone someone I was once intimate with.

Are you sure you never did anything to screw him over OP?

Nothing I can think of to have ever screwed him over.  It was so brief (like 2 and a half months) and our lives were so separate there was no time for me to screw anything up!
Only thing i can think is once he sent me a text saying he had a dream where he kept asking if i had slept with other people while we were together and i kept saying no but i was lying in the dream.
I didnt sleep with other people but maybe his own insecurities led him to think the dream was true. who knows

I might add that when we were younger we had a fling that ended because he said he was getting emotionally attached and didn't want that to happen as he was moving away at the time.

Personally I would treat the grow like it was infected with leprosy!

The last thing that I would want in my possession as a relationship goes south with a admittedly weird, potentially mentally ill significant other, is contraband in the process of being cultivated. Sounds like a recipe for jail time.

Ain't no amount of shroomies that are worth that uncertainty. Grow shrooms yourself and tell NO ONE at some later point if its your jam.

It is sad that things ended this way however probably for the best as mental illness and selfcenteredness isnt healthy to be around constantly.

On the bright side you get to enjoy a new hobby and you will "find the others";)
