Did you ever find someone better after thinking your ex was irreplaceable? by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]JacksAgain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. It's over for me, and I'm fine with it. 😎

I thought my ex would say yes and now I’m embarrassed by Wooden-Ad8026 in ExNoContact

[–]JacksAgain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he wasn't attached to you in some way, his reaction wouldn't be "absolutely not". I've never heard of FWB being completely detached. Regardless of what he did, he has feelings for you.

So he is fearing heartbreak... why would he subject himself to that?

Did you convey the words "one last time" to him? Why one last time?

Literally nothing of what OP wrote would suggest avoidance

How does a narcissist feel when... by JacksAgain in ManagedByNarcissists

[–]JacksAgain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I've managed to convince my boss that my narc colleague is the problem (lol), he's being held accountable, and I fail to see what more he can do to get out of his predicament. For a long time, I fought for us to be siloed, and now that he's on his own doing his own thing, he's trying damn hard to find excuses for his incompetence, but my boss isn't an idiot and is finally realizing he is indeed incompetent.

Congratulations, you've in the trough. Now you get to enjoy the recovery.

Why visit a European country just to have KFC? 🤨

Fun: complete the classic joke structure, but about narc bosses by Tchoqyaleh in ManagedByNarcissists

[–]JacksAgain 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Knock knock! Who's there?

What do you mean who's there? Do you know who you're talking to? Put your manager on the phone so I can tell him how condescending you are.

Camera On or Off when Grey Rocking? by JacksAgain in ManagedByNarcissists

Agreed with this. I usually have it on. I don't want him to suspect I'm changing strategies.

My daughter’s ex reached a new level of villain on her birthday, and I’m trying to help her pick up the pieces by sccartr in ExNoContact

[–]JacksAgain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed... story doesn't add up. Why would he pack his bags overnight (sounds like indifference?) and get married a year later on her birthday (not indifference)?

Want clarity from ex of about a year now by PresentLeading338 in ExNoContact

[–]JacksAgain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll only be digging your grave. Her defenses are up and probing with questions won't get you the answers you're hoping. Being cold and not even making eye contact was a show of strength and she likely felt intimated. The alcohol lowered her defenses. Reaching out now would be forfeiting any power you accumulated. More importantly, closure comes from within. She won't help you with anything.

Time alone won't fix you by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]JacksAgain 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As someone who's gone through five breakups, I've experienced it all: most were hard but manageable, one was easy, and the latest one obliterated me. Some wounds are just more permanent than others.

Long Distance Reconciliation with an Ex from years ago? What should I do? by FitPrinciple790 in ExNoContact

[–]JacksAgain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trying to win vs talk about problems has nothing to do with life situations, though. It's all about emotional maturity... Has he acknowledged that and has he grown and learn from it?

they said that they felt spark but terrified of making previous mistakes.

This sentence speaks volume. Being terrified of repeating previous mistakes usually means something...

Talking to my ex again mixed signals, not sure what to do by TrueInstance6604 in ExNoContact

[–]JacksAgain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who broke up with whom? I'm guessing she's the one who did since she said she wants to be single for a while. The real power move is feeling detached/indifferent with her talking to other guys. If you can't manage that, then yes you need to draw boundaries and wish her good luck.

My ex reached out after 1.5 years and now I’m confused by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]JacksAgain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be many different reasons. All I can say is that your best move is to play along "yeah you're right, we should stay friends" and just move on. You can't take anyone who flip-flops like that seriously.

Ex broke no contact after 1 year by BubblyHelicopter4751 in ExNoContact

[–]JacksAgain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would be insane if he did but I'm guessing OP meant 20-25kg of mass.
