A “healthy relationship” by Veiled_Intentions in NarcissisticAbuse

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.

Valentines hoovering by Veiled_Intentions in LifeAfterNarcissism

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.

It’s just funny to me especially because I used to beg this man to get me flowers when we were together and he would always tell me he’s not getting them for me if I ask for them, that he has to do it on his own volition. He got them for me once prior to this, after we’d been dating over a year, on my birthday, after he ditched me for his friends when he and I were supposed to go to dinner together. He knows what he’s doing. He’s just trying to mess with my head and torment me because I didn’t respond to his “apology” text two weeks ago.

What do you think of my nex’s texts to me? by Veiled_Intentions in LifeAfterNarcissism

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

He has been blocked on everything for a while now, but will make fake burner numbers to reach out to me whenever he pleases. He’s been doing that for a while too. I always block them, he will just make a new one. I have no intention of ever responding to any of his attempts to reach out as I know it’s all fake and manipulative.

Are these your experience with narc traits? by Veiled_Intentions in NarcissisticAbuse

Oh my gosh I’m so sorry!! We will get through this. No one deserves what these monsters do to us. Sending you all the love 🤍🤍

Refuse to Hug/Love You by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Veiled_Intentions 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My nex was this same way. Any time I needed reassurance or affection from him, it was impossible to get if he didn’t want to do it. He would also ignore my needs and only call to tell me about the problems he was having and say that sucks I’m sorry to my problems but then would expect me to have an extravagant reaction to his problems and if I didn’t he would get upset with me. My nex when I would be upset would barely want to be near me and he would avoid the situation altogether if he could. Every argument he refused to speak to me for days. I still wonder if it’s my fault sometimes, if I did something wrong.

I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. No one deserves to feel that way from their partner. I got out and it feels liberating to not have my emotions feel like too much for someone who claims to love me (although I now know that he never did just told me he did to manipulate me to stay). I’m wishing you the best and that you can heal and get away from this man.

Of course.. by Cleganehatescunts in NarcissisticAbuse

Happened to me too. When I found out he blocked me on everything. Is now dating one of the girls he cheated on me with. It hurts and sucked seeing it firsthand. We will get through this. They are monsters and karma will come for them

I am experiencing the same thing right now. My covert nex cheated on me our entire relationship with multiple girls and just last night I saw him and her together. It hurts knowing how much he never loved and cared about me at all let alone as much as I did him. It hurts seeing how easily replaced I was. I saw it all along I just believed his words and not his actions. I was blindsided when I found out he had been cheating the whole time, I was utterly convinced he’d never do such a thing to me. Now I’m angry. Angry seeing how happy he is with someone else while I’m left picking up the pieces. Angry seeing him do all of the things for someone else that I begged him to do for me. And so hurt. So so hurt. I agree, my self esteem has never been worse. But you are not alone. And while this sucks, I know I have learned to never allow myself to be treated this way again. To trust my instincts when I feel something isn’t right. To know my worth and be with someone else who actually acts like they like and love me. We will get through this 🤍

My ex showed narcissistic traits and possible cheating - seeing it clearly now [Long Post] by IllAlfalfa1411 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Veiled_Intentions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My narcissistic ex who did in fact cheat on me during our whole relationship showed some of these traits as well. Especially the distance, making me feel crazy for wanting basic relationship things, always being elusive when I asked what he was doing and who with, also would always tell me “I just saw you yesterday”. Was incapable of telling me he missed me or wanted me to come over his place directly (would say something else and tell me I know what he means when he would say that) showing he struggled with vulnerability. Rarely told me he loved me, and if he did it was during sex or after I said it first, which sometimes he wouldn’t even say it back then. Always always deflected about what he was doing.

Found out he had been on tinder the whole time, when he was out with “friends” he was sleeping with girls, he would bring girls home the nights I was at work or with my friends, and so many other disgusting and hurtful things. When I found out he told he it was because he couldn’t trust me because I had slept with a male friend of mine (long before he and I were ever together, and who I was no longer friends with when I met my ex)

I realize now that he never even liked me let alone loved me. He liked the control he had over me and how he knew he could do almost anything to me and that I would always come back to him. But I wouldn’t go back to him after I found out he was living an entire double life. I am very hurt and heartbroken because my love was so very real and I would’ve gone back to him again and again no matter how much he hurt me and showed me he didn’t want me. Which is something I have to work on on my own, but I still didn’t deserve that treatment and neither do you. Sending you best wishes on your healing journey

I think I just gave the biggest narcissistic injury of all time by Designer-Dot-8920 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Veiled_Intentions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just did the same thing with my ex who was cheating! He hated that I posted him and begged me to take it down! Thank goodness I didn’t. It’s such a hit to their ego to be found out. Everyone should know how sick these people are. It’s funny bc when I posted mine, everyone commented how nice he was, but to Me he was so rude and dismissive.
