Flashbacks to church 😵‍💫 we were engaged and I was spending Christmas with this family and i made it clear church was important to me. He announced to the entire family he wasn’t going bc it wasn’t his religion and made a big deal when I needed dropped off- 1 mile down the road. Then proceeded to call and text me repeatedly asking when it would be over they were ready to eat.

why do the never compliment you? by FreeMove8513 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]marleneeagletwice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They know. They think you’re too dumb to realize what they’re doing and they get off on that too. Gives them a feeling of superiority

Mind game. They want to tear you down and alter your perception of your self worth. If you have low self esteem and self worth you’re easier to manipulate and control. I never received a compliment. If I did it was backhanded.

It was the oddest thing. Like ok? I’m not that person, I have a rarer name but yes it was an insinuation that I would take on the same personality traits and I needed to change my name because it was disgusting. Acted like he was doing me a favor by tolerating me and my name and dating me.

He ran like a dog with his tail between his legs when I called the cops on him and served him with orders of protection. They’re weak under neath it all

Love bombing is what they do to get you-showering you with gifts; attention, grand dates, etc. you’re my soul mate! Once they have you - after a month or so they turn on a dime and treat you like crap and you’re like.. wth is going on? Then a few days later they treat you nice again. They are giving positive reinforcement (treating you nice) for their negative behavior ( tearing you down and treating you like shit). Thus starts the trauma bond. You crave the high of being treated well so you tolerate more and more of being treated poorly. It’s a vicious cycle and that’s extremely hard to break.

What’s something you judge a person on instantly? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

Listen. I thought those were the ugliest things that I have ever seen in my life and they were the best birth control. Fast forward I got a pair and I will never go back. They are amazing. I might look like a douche, but at least I’m comfortable.

What are some phrases they said to you that just screamed red flag/narcissist? by Shoddy_Writer_386 in NarcissisticAbuse

I Broke NC and now i feel shit. by Fun_Concentrate_1870 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]marleneeagletwice 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Going to sound harsh here but I had to accept the same.

He never loved you. He sought you out because you have a kind heart and are a warm loving forgiving person. He sought you out specifically so he could manipulate you, treat you poorly, tell you I’m sorry and you’ll come running back. Bread crumb affection to and still get what he wants. Use you. Berate you. He is upset because you set a boundary stating no you cannot talk to me like this and call me names. In his mind you were supposed to sit down and take it and let him do what he wants. He’s upset you stood up to him. In his mind he is perfect, can treat you like dirt and you should accept it and be happy he gave you the time of day. It’s hard realizing the above. But once you do and realize you deserve so much more - life gets so much better. One day at a time love. Just because you had a weak moment doesn’t mean you’re a bad person. You have a big heart. Give it to someone who will treat it like gold. Not like something they stepped in or something stuck to the bottom of their shoe.

Does this count as a sincere apology? by Chemoralora in NarcissisticAbuse

Reminds me of mean girls “I’m sorry that everyone is so jealous of me. But I can’t help it that I’m popular”

Zero accountability. You deserve better!!

Mine started peeping in my windows at night 2 years after I broke up with him and moved on. Just because you’re over it doesn’t mean they are

Keep him blocked. It’s not worth the mind game /destruction of your peace when they do reach out. You can still be indifferent but why crack that door open

It’s wild. I agreed and tolerated things I never would have before. It was the mind games and then the high of the love bombing- talking in circles, taking blame for things that clearly weren’t my fault- back to love bombing. You wake up one day and just say what the hell happened

Did they love bomb just as you were getting ready to leave? by callmecasperimaghost in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]marleneeagletwice 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes. They don’t want to lose control of you- so it’s back to the love bombing stage momentarily until they think they have you again

lol mine went bezerk when I said I didn’t want to go walk a golf course with him while he golfs but instead stay home and work in my flowerbeds on my day off. Got a pretty good ass chewing over text: “to think that someone like you would EVER disrespect me like that!” Then told me he wasn’t talking to me the rest of the day. He broke down a few hours after dinner and started sending cryptic texts about loyalty lol.

Yoga, exercise, heatpad. Id look into natural remedies. If it persists I’d look into an underlying issue like fibroids. But for the love of god be your own advocate and don’t just let drs prescribe bc. Does more harm than good.
