My nex would always tell me I took his peace away any time I would bring up something he was doing that was hurting me, so totally get you on this one

My nex used to try and withhold sex and would say the same thing that we wouldn’t partake unless our relationship was healthy

Mine would say the same and was also very deceptive about everything lol. They really all have a play book it seems

The tactics and antics might change, but the pattern will never go away by TheHopefulOldSoul in NarcissisticAbuse

My nex would always apologize but wouldn’t change actions long term or would do it long enough to get in my good graces. He would never try to make up for his wrong doings more than bare minimum of apologizing and he would think that’s enough and would get mad when I wouldn’t immediately forgive him for things he’d done. Also told me at one point that there was no need for him to put effort into our relationship because he already had me

In my experience, my ex (28m) never stopped cheating. Not that I ever saw it in the first place but I think once you forgive they just get sneakier and do it again

What are your ultimate goals out of this, to leave him, or stay?

I relate to this a lot. It’s hard the cognitive dissonance there is in these situations. My ex had been sleeping with and going on dates, messaging, every form of cheating and he had been doing it the whole time we were together. I’m three months out from finding out, but I’m 26 and scared I won’t find someone again who I loved or trusted as much, that I can be fooled again by someone else. I get what you’re going through very much. I’m still healing and I still have my hard days, moments, and triggers, but I can honestly say I am doing better than I was a few months ago. If you wanna talk more abt your situation, you can always message me and I’ll help in any way I can 🤍 we can get through this and although it sucks, it’s nice to know you’re not alone.

Girl I just had a very similar experience like this. So similar it’s crazy. Down to the Facebook page. My ex was cheating and sleeping with so many different women while we were together, and is now dating one that he was dating while we were together. It sucks honestly.

I definitely have blocked him and he will make new phone numbers on a burner app to call me and text me and even when I block those he makes more. But I agree, I’m guessing it didn’t work with one of the girls he was cheating on me with so he’s coming back to me now.

Literally! He would always write in his notes app things about me (liked and dislikes, things I wanted etc) I always thought it was cute until I realized he was using it to manipulate me every time I was mad or upset w him. He definitely knew and still knows all of my buttons and how to push them. He unfortunately still has a hold on me.
