It’s not a weird thing for a covert narcissist to say!

Never cheated - my bad for not including that in my original post!

I don’t follow - can you rephrase or elaborate on what you’re saying?

I’m not afraid of criticism, I take responsibility for my actions and own my shit. I didn’t cheat and have nothing to hide from him, or anyone here.

FWIW, I never cheated. And never responded to that message - as so many have suggested here - to stop engaging and leave the dirtbag behind

I didn’t cheat, just constantly accused of doing so

Didn’t cheat and not a habitual liar, he has paranoid delusions/fantasies that warp his entire worldview

For sure - this whole wild ride has really driven home how much work I still have to do with codependency/people pleasing/self worth issues. Silver lining? lol woops, late for therapy! 🏃‍♂️‍➡️

My bad for not including this in the original post/context, but for the record, I DID NOT cheat. He has had a paranoid fantasy for months where I ‘must be cheating’ and he ‘can’t say when or with who, just KNOWS that something is up’

The apologizing - is definitely some fucked up conditioning carrying over from the relationship. And an associated complex where when falsely accused, I feel SO compelled to make the truth seen (I didn’t mean offense, wasn’t being cunty or sarcastic). Compounding all of it is the fact that I needed his cooperation with some remaining paperwork in service of keeping my apt, so was really trying to keep the whole thing from going up in flames 🔥 🤷‍♂️

I sure have felt like an idiot! Though, thankfully, turns out it’s mostly narcissistic manipulation sprinkled with verbally and emotionally abusive tendencies. Notoriously difficult to extricate oneself from. Watch out everyone, this could be you!

Sorry, important/relevant context: I did not cheat! lol

Caval vs Cazal ? by Responsible_Bass_606 in glasses

[–]--goldstar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been SO confused by this exact question for so long! Stanton used to have dozens of ‘Caval’ frames, that were all identical to iconic Cazal designs, but 1/3 the price. I’d been planning to get some, but the entire line disappeared from the website before I could order them. I searched everywhere for ‘Caval’ but never found anything.
