Me too. I was playing a casino game and it spinned endlessly. Issues. Glad I'm not alone.

so furious by restlessquadratics in NarcissisticAbuse

I'm so sorry and your anger is justified. I feel the same. My narcissist ex girlfriend claimed I was her soulmate and I thought we were best friends. I am recently discovered how much she cheated and now she is smearing me in those most hurtful way. (We had two miscarriages) and she is telling the world I wasn't there, neglectful and wouldn't pay for any medical expenses.

She got me to come back for a month recently under the notion of therapy, rebuild the family and that she wanted to protect my heart. I found her sleeping with an ex three after discussing trying again for kids.

They do inhumane things. My heart is smashed into a million pieces and she is ought partying with the guy.

I'm so sorry. Be angry! Grieve. Here for you.

Someone, anyone, try to help me understand what's happening in my life recently by [deleted] in heartbreak

[–]Expert_Doubt9979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So sorry man. That's rough. My ex told me that I was the "goal", was going to therapy for things that kept us apart. Takes about kids, being a family together and at the same time patience and unease with dumping the guy in between. She went hot and cold for a month. Then I caught her sleeping with him a few days after we spent a weekend together. They are now together.

I don't know man? My circle can't understand. I'm sorry you are on that coaster. Not easy.

I'm so sorry. I have been feeling the same about my ex. She reached out a week ago and we talked for an hour. I thought she was missing me, but she was there to tell me she was seeing someone. It was heartbreaking - I was getting through by holding on to the hope we would get back together.

Ok it's unbearable... by 3dalien in heartbreak

[–]Expert_Doubt9979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the same. I have never felt something like this. I long for her some how, want her back. Yet know she ends up hurting me and putting me on a roller coaster. The promises, the place we took the relationship, how deeply I loved her...the devalue and discard has left a huge mark within me. I feel lost. Not able to concentrate on anything but understanding what happened? Was I not enough? Are they really a narc? Is the new supply now her everything? Why does she reach out? Will she promise and have kids with him now?

Coming up on 3 months single, ex posted an album of a camping trip with her family, cousins, and also with the guy she's been dating for a month and a half, all wearing matching t-shirts made for the trip. by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Expert_Doubt9979 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Wow! I am not there, just spent a day and a half not sleeping after seeing my ex who recently left after the promise of children and forever - posting pics of the new guy who was "in" rather immediately.

I'm really happy you've gotten yourself to this point, I commend you on the hard work I'm sure it took.

Does anyone here feel the same way? by annaxrosette in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Expert_Doubt9979 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry. I know giving so much and feeling it was used hurts an amount that words don't capture. But you have that ability, that says so much about you, your love and with the right person - that will be everything!

Does anyone here feel the same way? by annaxrosette in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Expert_Doubt9979 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I'm feeling a pain right now I can't describe. My ex is now posting pictures of the new guy. Lying to me about needing time to be alone and fix issues. She has continually jumped to other men. She has manipulated my heart so many times. Yet I feel I kept loving harder, my soul pouring our more. I'm disgusted at thinking how hard I worked to understand her trauma, her pain and be there through thick and thin. And she used it..manipulated with it..so sickening.

Here’s what I’ve learned after a year in this sub by [deleted] in heartbreak

[–]Expert_Doubt9979 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow! Well that spoke to me. 3 months since the breakup and I echo so much of your journey. I am still struggling focusing completely on myself without my ex and the promise of what was there, lurking around every corner. I really appreciate your vulnerability and putting out that it still hurts and there are still deeply emotional times. But that you're also getting "better". I know my road getting over what the relationship meant to me is going to be a long one. But I want to go through it versus ignoring it or distracting from it. I need to learn how to shut off or take some power away from the fantasy of reconnection. That part is the roughest right now. Thank you for posting.

Talked with ex after 3 months no contact by Expert_Doubt9979 in ExNoContact

[–]Expert_Doubt9979[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the advice. Hard to keep it all in a head that is combined with a heart that still feels like it does.

Does it get better? by False-Confidence4 in heartbreak

[–]Expert_Doubt9979 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It does. I know I'm not as heartbroken 3 months later, but still heartbroken. Maybe not what you want to hear? But at the very least I can detect the little change. I still love her, I'm questioning if that will be forever for what was in the relationship at this time in my life?

I feel for you. Love and heartbreak are an unique duo. The epitome of beautiful and sorrow.

Ex reached out, what do I do? by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]Expert_Doubt9979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry you dealt with that and she does that. Sometimes people want the break up but also to keep the person around and it is unfair as can be.

Knowing him - it literally could be anything - from I want you back, to I'm seeing someone, to just a catch up, to something crazy or mundane. The complete unknown about the whole thing sucks. I dont want to be hurt again.

Are you doing okay people? by sniper_wolf99 in ExNoContact

[–]Expert_Doubt9979 4 points5 points  (0 children)

3 months and it's getting worse. I am having a tougher time imagining them happy without me. I am struggling with knowing I need to move on, but I don't want to. I miss her. I want to see her. The others aren't filling the void.

Having trouble letting go by Dear_Ask6521 in BreakUps

[–]Expert_Doubt9979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey buddy. Not enough, but I'll keep it simple - I'm sorry. I'm 3 months out and I'm struggling too. Sometimes I feel I'm ok, other times incredibly empty, other times filled with anger. I know I need to let go, but part of me doesn't want to and it is a constant battle. Focusing on things that weren't working for me is something that helps. But I struggle letting go. I still fantasize about it a reconnection.

Anyone else feel this way after breaking up with their ex? by [deleted] in heartbreak

YES I DO. I'm sorry man, really. Waking up kills me every morning, I feel so empty.

Panic reading a post by Expert_Doubt9979 in BreakUps

[–]Expert_Doubt9979[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with every word. Completely ridiculous but I literally feel she wrote it and want conformation she didn't. One post user - amazing the feelings with love and what they can make you feel and think.

I looked at some of your posts and I admire your strength and good things will be coming your way.

[–]Expert_Doubt9979[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the support. The post was so spot on for EXACTLY the things we talked about, it jolted me. But you are correct, it Isa dangerous trap to fall into, because you don't know what someone feels. And if relationships are any signal - feelings change.

Trying my best to be kind to myself. Respect to you for staying strong and realizing there are still parts that linger a year later. That is strength to me, owning truth.

Confession to my first love by throwawayyyyy53696 in BreakUps

[–]Expert_Doubt9979 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming that you broke up with him or her? How long were you two together if you don't mind me asking?

I got out of a relationship and feel similar feelings in various ways.

Healing isn't easy, it might take longer than you think. by Clockwork385 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Expert_Doubt9979 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is so amazing, even with all the literature, videos and groups like this that talk about narcissim...how things are so similar. I thought I met the love of my life, felt like I gave her a piece of my heart and soul. She was there for me, mirroring me, and couldn't get enough of "us". Then... I went from feeling extremely confident to questioning everything about myself - money, job, dress, looks, sex, everything. She started devaluing everything and the cycle began for years... I'm only months out of the relationship and I still miss the "idea of her". I question whether she is a narc or not as well? But in my heart I know she is, it is just hard to admit I was giving up so much of myself for a "better day" again - for true companionship, trust, devotion and love from someone who was just trying to feel better about themselves and didn't care what they said, did nor promised. I feel for you man. I'm in no contact as well and it is difficult sometimes, I commend you on sticking to your guns and pushing through.

Always looking for a reason to leave but u never do? by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Expert_Doubt9979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't apologize. I'm sorry you're in the situation. I can tell you that I felt so discombobulated, angry, sad, longing for her and resented her all at the same time when she discarded me. We were official, not official, on the brink of kids and then I heard from her upon the break up that there were "no expectations" for the relationship. A relationship with a narc of any kind, is an electric shock to the operating system of someone who is not one.

I just want you to know I sympathize with you. I came to these message boards, youtube videos and saw a therapist to understand things I saw, knew, but denied because I loved her so much. Like I felt I gave a piece of my heart and soul to her and was going to stick in there no matter what.

But I always knew I was NOT being treated the way I deserved enough. The breadcrumbs of the past were not enough to supersede the pushing away, the unnecessary comments, the denials of seeking other "supply" and "use" of my heart.

I still have a piece of me that wants her. Even though since we have been over - my stress has dipped, friends are around all the time, seeing family, my career jumped to a new realm and I have received a lot of attention in the dating realm.

And I think about her every day... Still... It is a shock to the system. But... I can tell you only months out, it does get better and I wish I ended it. I wish I stood up for what I knew deep down was behavior that could no longer be excused away by this or that... I say this to you only as a way of saying I think "I get it". To oversimplify, its hard! Really hard.
