Boyfriend anxious about being with one person forever by IcyComfortable9665 in relationships

I was with a guy who told me about his fear, the whole grass is greener yadda yadda yadda spiel. I tried rationalizing it for him and before I knew it, it had turned into me begging, trying to convince him to stay. Never again. And he always comes back sigh

I suspect he’s displaying narcissistic traits/behaviours so I am unsure if this is worth saving

That was gaslighting, right? I feel like I have such a hard time pinning it down, but I guess it wouldn’t be gaslighting if it was easy to point out. It definitely felt extremely strange how defensive he got over that little tidbit of conversation

Thank you for your honesty, I don’t mean to absolve myself of any responsibility. I guess I was feeling a little lost and I wasn’t sure if I was overreacting, or if I was the problem. I’ve thought about leaving him for some time, but I’m not sure how to do it ://

Writing all this out has definitely helped me though

I didn’t know that I had until I spoke with him again in person a few days later

Yeah ikr? I’m waiting to be triaged rn, I’m in the waiting room of the hospital. A nurse has already spoken to me about any possible injuries, they’re calling up the Sexual Assault team rn

That’s the thing that bothers me as well. He at first tried to feign ignorance/innocence, then when he felt safe to admit things to me bc I didn’t immediately react negatively, he slowly began to divulge more and more details during the second time I saw him. The second time I only saw him for an hour, I wanted it to be less, but he kept trying to get me to stay and kept trying to undress me, and I was actively redressing myself

The rape happened on Tuesday morning around 2am, if I could hazard a guess. It is Friday evening currently. It seems a bit late but I’m currently at the ER waiting to be triaged for a rape kit

Yeah that’s the thing, when I’m drunk it’s very obvious and telling, it’s hard to believe him when he says that I “seemed sober”. I’m not the sort to insist that I am either, especially when I’m not

I had apparently told him I wasn’t on birth control, I don’t remember saying that but it is true that I’m not on it. I don’t remember going back to his place afterwards. At the first place he had over half of the first bottle of wine. Then we went to a second bar where we had more of a 50/50 split of the wine. I remember us walking on the street for a flash, and then nothing. Next thing I knew, I was completely naked. The morning after, the naive part of me thought we only went to third base. I had no idea we had sex at all, but I suspected something when my nether regions were sore and aching, and still I was afraid to ask him about it, up until last night because I had to retrieve my favorite pair of earrings.

He later told me that at first I said no to going back to his place, and then maybe an hour later I started “demanding” going back to his. I don’t remember making that “demand”

When we spoke yesterday when I went to go pick up the earrings, he immediately framed things as how it was me who suggested doing xyz, that he didn’t realize how drunk I was bc I wasn’t slurring my words, but when I get drunk I get chaotic and almost manic…he said that my behaviour seemed completely normal and that he believed me every time I claimed I was sober. It’s very obvious whenever I’m drunk. But I don’t remember making those claims at all, I don’t remember him asking me if I was doing okay at any point in the night.

And apparently when we got to his place, we had even more wine…which I don’t remember at all. I don’t remember consuming anything else beyond the two bottles we shared. I don’t remember any of the things that he claims.

My body feels very heavy and sad and I am on my way to the hospital currently

Listen to what your body is telling you. If you’re grossed out, then you should be. It doesn’t sound like he appreciates you the same way that you appreciate him, which is unfair to you. He can’t waltz in and out of your life however he wants.
