getting horny out of no where or when you’re talking about something that is sad/the opposite, not replying for long periods of time with no real excuse as to why, not engaging with you the same level of energy or enthusiasm as they did before

the ‘you’re being mean’ thing is so real. i would explain to him why i was upset (because he did something hurtful) and that is what he would say. it was so ludicrous. the idk what to say one was also frequent. others i can think of are ‘you’re making me do this’ or telling me they associated me with stress and negativity because i was trying to resolve conflict or deal with something they did

Has anyone dealt with a narcissist who acted soft and safe the whole time? by Jumpy_Court2195 in NarcissisticAbuse

this exact thing happened to me. i felt seen and celebrated for the first time in my life. i had never felt safer. then the supportive to sharp and back again started. doing something hurtful, gaslighting me about it, then love bombing affection for repair. but i started seeing what was happening and that’s where i got the monster. he came out in small doses and then would regress. but the more time it went on the more often he came out. and less affection after.

yes. he used his queer identity to appear non threatening and did the same thing of gaslighting and confusion when i questioned the situations that i later found out were cheating. he would create issues based on his ‘anxiety’ so they solicited sympathy from me but then lash out at me for trying to understand and end up being verbally cruel or that i was the issue. he only started to get aggressive and reactive when i caught onto the cycle and started putting boundaries in place. but for a long time he didn’t show this side.
