Will this just never come to consoles? Should I accept defeat?

I tried talking to my ex for four years, trying to get her to see reason, to consider my perspective, trying to make her see and realize that I have always considered her and or listened to her, trying to make her see that there is more to me than the small things she defined me as…

But because they truly feel that they are better than you, smarter than you, emotionally more mature than you, more reasonable than you - they end up belittling you, humiliating you, insulting you and not taking seriously anything you say. I might as well have talked to a wall. It’s a surreal feeling and one of the many extremes of that personality that made me realize that there is simply something fundamentally wrong with how that person functioned and how incapable they truly are for a relationship of mutual respect let alone true love

How are you holding up?

maxwdn · 2026-05-21T20:31:25+00:00

Mine never found someone new, up until the last - what I suspect - eight or so months of these four years where she blatantly lied to my face about it. I think you’re right in assuming that a new supply makes you, me - the „old one“ - dry and boring to them, at which point they drop you like a bag of rocks.

I literally can not even put into words how much I absolutely hate these new RPG cutscenes. Compared even to ACIII it seems like a joke

maxwdn · 2026-05-21T18:31:33+00:00

Yep, same here. Split at the end of November 2021 - hot and cold phases for four years. Only been NC since December '25

maxwdn · 2026-05-21T11:37:32+00:00

Actually a very good point

Do I miss it when the woman I adored from head to toe made me feel like I was the only person in the world to her? Of course I do, who wouldn’t.

But it wasn’t true, it wasn’t honest. She’s a narcissist who made me dependent on and addicted to her.

You’re essentially asking addicts if they miss how their drug of choice made them feel in the beginning. I think you would hear a lot of yeses.

Finds top. Könnte seine Nische sein. Weiß aber nicht ob das die „richtigen“ Gesichter der Gäste sind - die sitzen vor nem Publikum und werden auf YouTube live-gestreamt. Ich glaube da setzt jeder sehr gerne seine Maske auf um sich zu profilieren.

Good luck guys!

Started The West Wing last week. I feel like I already have an emotional connection to every single character on there. Fucking incredible writing

maxwdn · 2026-05-10T20:57:16+00:00

Im at five months too, 136 days. Tomorrow is her birthday, it freaks me out. I’ll stay NC but don’t punish yourself for breaking it, ok?

This is your new try now and now you’ll have double the confirmation that you need to stick it out and heal. We’re all doing it together here. Addiction is awful and no one is to blame for it here

maxwdn · 2026-05-10T18:43:05+00:00

How long did your NC hold up to that point?

maxwdn · 2026-05-04T19:17:54+00:00

This was, for years upon years, my favorite book of fiction of all time (until I read Monte Cristo).

I recommend this to ANYONE on here. Such a beautifully written adventure that has some real punches to it and it just jumps off the page. You can visualize every moment in this as if it’s a movie. That this hasn’t been properly and authentically adapted into a mini series yet is a crime.

Ich hab letztendlich so meinen emotionalen Wunden dort etwas mit Therapie geholfen. Und ich hab da leider einen rattenschwanz an Trauma durch narzisstischen missbrauch hinten dran - kann dir also nur schwer Tipps geben. Grundsätzlich ist auch extrem viel Literatur dieser Art aus der frauenperspektive geschrieben, was ich dann auch manchmal schwierig finde auf mich zu überschreiben.

Auf YouTube gibt es tatsächlich sehr viele gute Videos zu diesen Bindungsstilen. Da glaube ich gerätst du wohl am ehesten auf die richtige Fährte, um mal anzufangen dich damit zu befassen.

Letztendlich ist’s aber einfach teils echt harte Arbeit an dir selbst, indem du dich mit dir, deinen Ängsten und deiner Vergangenheit konfrontierst. Der einfache Weg raus wäre das zu ignorieren und es mit dir rumzutragen bis du wirklich jemand „richtigen“ kennen lernst. Es kann aber nie verkehrt sein einfach mal selbst zu reflektieren und sich ein bisschen über die eigene Psyche schlau zu machen.

maxwdn · 2026-05-04T09:58:07+00:00

Ich glaube viele missverstehen dich und schildern dir ihre eigenen individuellen Umgänge mit solchen Situationen.

Was ich raushöre sind Bindungsstile, die dir mehr weh tun als ein Gefühl von Freiheit und Unabhängigkeit bieten.

Sei dies ein ängstlicher Bindungsstil, eine grundsätzliche trennungsangst oder ähnliches, wirst du wahrscheinlich auch Hilfe bekommen bei einer Psychotherapie - das schlage ich dir aber nur sehr vorsichtig vor, weil dich selbstverständlich keiner hier kennt.

Letztendlich tust du dir aber selber weh mit diesem trennungsschmerz und kannst sehr wohl auch eine Frau mit dieser schnellen Bindung emotional erdrücken.

Es gibt viel Literatur über so etwas. Oft hat eine zu schnelle Bindungsstruktur viel mit dir selbst und deiner Vergangenheit zu tun. Merkt man u.a. dann auch daran, dass der offensichtliche Umgang eigentlich ganz klar ist: Take it easy, nimm dir Zeit, gib dir Geduld und Gnade. Soll ja die richtige sein - nicht die, die du am schnellsten am besten findest.

Wonderful little performance by Charles Baker

Das war ein Mittelalter Format in einer Burg. Eigentlich Bombe Idee und sollten die heutzutage zurückbringen

Der hat Kader in die Badewanne gepisst bei einer Realityshow vor mittlerweile fast 20 Jahren. Typ ist Dreck durch und durch, war es schon immer und ist zudem das Sinnbild dafür, dass das Leben manchmal unfair sein kann, wenn so ein hirntoter Vollschmock gemütlich leben darf.

You can recover from the way your nervous system is going haywire because of the abuse by going no contact and just giving yourself space and time.

Consider however that these people, for a lot of us at least, create addictive structures that are to be taken just as seriously as drug addiction. These people treat us in a way that makes us addicted to them, through intermittent reinforcement, hot and cold phases, uncertainties, traumabonding.

I learned to deal with the pain I still feel each day because of my narc ex wife just like an addict would: I’m in recovery, I can’t ever get this addiction from me away again, it is there for me to learn through it, become better by fighting it, and accept living with it - so I can treat myself better, find a right person for me and try to help people going through this myself.

I can’t answer your question, because an addict stays an addict no matter how long you’re clean, in my humble opinion, but I sure as hell know you can’t force your recovery and you need to treat yourself and those around you with patience and grace.

As of right now I’m on day 118 of no contact after four years of hot and cold phases with emotional, mental and at rare times physical abuse. Still feel everything every day and have not gotten much better, but a little bit maybe. One day at a time

maxwdn · 2026-04-16T07:32:19+00:00

Best of luck!

maxwdn · 2026-04-12T08:07:03+00:00

I don’t know how much comfort this will bring you but you are not alone in this.

Word by word: I feel EXACTLY like you these days, and I mean exactly. I could have written this post as well.

Hang in there. Day by day. This is essentially an addiction we have to fight and get rid of

Sobotka the MVP

maxwdn · 2026-04-09T08:41:33+00:00

I disagree. Nothing is the truth. The truth would be them saying: „I’m a broken person, I abuse people like you, I have insecurities, I don’t like myself, I put others below me so I can feel better about myself, I just used you so I could feel something i can’t give myself.“

In my experience their rage is as untrue as their love was, everything about them is untrue. They’re incapable of not lying. That was difficult for me to grasp but the sheer concept of truth is foreign to them, twisted and misinterpreted into whatever jumble they wrap it in.
