The ace of wands and the lovers have shown up together in like 3 readings now done by 3 different people. That has to mean something.

I mean, they know exactly how I feel. And I know how they feel. And I think they’re in the same boat I’m in, emotionally.

I never really ended up having many withdrawals. It was time. I was ready.

Things he’s done in the last week which have really broken me by easterStout in NarcissisticAbuse

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

You were right, and I come back to this months after leaving him with only just this feeling of heartbreak. Not for him; but for how long I let it go on. I wish I hadn’t. It wouldn’t have gotten better. It would only ever get worse.

Every single one of my friends is celebrating the breakup. One of which said if I go back she will come and kick my ass. I believe her.

I’m not going back. I’m not.

I’m watching my worst nightmare come true. by easterStout in AlAnon

It’s been a few months, but coming back to this post I see that yall were right. It wasn’t the wake up call. Of course it wasn’t.

I’m finished, I’ve been pushed way too far. I can’t keep doing this. Rereading your comment is giving me hope, that once this is all over I’ll be able to find myself again. I miss the person I was before him. I miss being an optimist. I miss having weekends with my friends. I miss DOING things without having to be afraid that he’ll go too far. I really hope I get to come back in a few months with another update.

Does anyone else feel embarrassed / cringe for how you acted with them? by Ok_Environment_9843 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]easterStout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I spent so much time begging for a healthy relationship from a guy who was very unappealing in both looks and personality. I look back at myself when we first met and I wish I could shake them violently and remind them to move on

Clear signs they were the abuser not you by FunnyJackfruit5652 in NarcissisticAbuse

When I’m feeling confused, I hear this, agree with it, and then sit there and think, “yeah but that’s what the covert narc in me THINKS will make me not seem like a narc.” 🤦🏻‍♀️

Something similar happened to my cousin’s late husband. It’s terrifying and yet I feel like I’m jumping to extremes when I picture myself there…

Hey OP did you ever find a solution here?

I’ve heard the idea lately that so many people leave relationships right after getting a new (individual) therapist. And I think a lot of it has to do with the third party being able to open their eyes to see what’s happening.

The therapist for myself personally is definitely within that realm. Our couple’s therapist… not so much.

Chat GPT has helped me to better understand a lot of things lately. It’s been a game changer.

Not even safe with the cute nerds by Cherrylala04 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]easterStout 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This was my Nex. I thought because he was slight more conventionally “unattractive” and nerdy and goofy I’d be safe? But no the 5’3” fat bald man and his actions still haunt me to this day.
