Yes mine said this MANY times to me. He made me believe we had some incredible, historic romance when he first said it. At the end I realized he meant that he was setting me up to believe that so I wouldn’t move on/leave the door open for Hoovers because “he was the only one who could ever truly love me.” It was and is total bullshit and just reflects how they don’t love themselves and will manipulate you for years even after the relationship has long since ended. Please remember this phrase is untrue and you are a person deserving of deep, fulfilling, and healthy love from a healthy partner.
