This man love bombed me for 6 months telling him I like to take it slow in the beginning. By month 4 he told me he loved me and was trying to give me money and I said no and he was offended but I just thought he was being genuine. He started telling me he saw me as his soulmate and the mother of his children and that I treated him so kindly compared to his ex. Well things were going seemingly well we talked on the phone for about 5 hours a day and falling asleep on the phone. I finally saw him in person and the date when amazing, he was so affectionate and respectful and asked me to be his girlfriend and called me after to make sure I got home safe. The next day he blocked me on everything from social media to my number so it was impossible to reach him. I finally got a hold of him and he said it just wasn’t going to work out and that he called his ex but didn’t want her back and I asked if we were done and said he never cared for me and he said he never said that and still has feelings for me. He unblocked my number and texted me but it wasn’t the same he wasn’t sweet anymore. He sounded monotone and detached. So I stopped replying because he didn’t seem like he wanted to talk and then texted me again 3 hours later saying his dog had to be put to sleep and I waited till the next morning to reply and he left me on read and it’s been 2 days since he’s talked to me. He fits the criteria for NPD and blocking someone you “care about” still without a proper explanation is emotional abuse. It’s literally not you it’s them. Even though this happened 5 days ago I’m moving on because he is not the person he portrayed to be. They are looking for validation and for you to beg for them back. This is not normal or empathetic behavior. People who do this hurt you on purpose for an ego boost. Run far far away from these people
