					<description><![CDATA[Hi
I&#039;ve just got ditched on boxing day no reason at all. Only day before saying  how much he was into me and making plans for future. But as I&#039;ve been reading more and more on here he definitely is a narcissus. We only seen each other for 4 months but he reeled me in big time.
He knew I was in a very abusive relationship few years ago and promised me would never treat me like that and will take care of me. Its more mental abuse this time as guy  before it was every abuse u Could think of. 
I feel like an idiot for letting this happen. I&#039;m so heartbroken confused etc. But why do I still want hear from him when I know I dont really want to it&#039;s so confusing. I wanted to know a reason bit he has avoided question loads of times. The last thing he said was he regrets ever breaking up and is gutted big time and will send my presents put toe the he blocked me so I could reply. What the actual f@@k is that about. I know I need get over this but my god its so hard]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Wow...just wow.  I was with this kind of person for almost 4 years.  The first 3 months were ideal, and perfect.  Then abruptly...he broke it off.  Told me he was scared.  I let him go, and a day or two later he came back.  I was so happy.  However...after that things were a constant rollercoaster.  He ended up moving into my house, and I was supporting a family of 4.  He drank way too much, and it got to the point where you could say nothing - even if it was innocent - and it would cause a huge fight that included emotional and physical abuse.  At one point I said, enough!  And...then he changed.  Overnight.  He was trying to be loving and caring, but at that point I was so wrung out that any time we had conflict I would want to break up.  That wasn&#039;t okay for me to put him on a rollercoaster, but I think a lot of it had to do with how I had been treated.  So I stopped.  I was then going through a horrific time myself with my ex.  My narc told me he would never cheat on me, never hurt me that way.  Fast forward to current...he did.  He was building a relationship and still trying to maintain ours.  I ended up catching him and confronting him.  I&#039;ve never seen someone look so hateful.  People had seen us together previously, and said they wanted what we had...how loving he seemed when we were out.  I was devastated!  His current flame contacted me, and I told her I felt sorry for her.  I&#039;m seeing that he&#039;s doing the same love bombing things to her that he did to me - EXACTLY.  Candles, music, blah blah blah.  Of course, he told me I was nothing but drama and I just wanted to be upset all the time (keep in mind, I&#039;m going through a horrific outside battle, and let him know it had nothing to do with him).  I was there through some of his worst times...and it didn&#039;t matter.  It hurts.  It&#039;s been weeks and it&#039;s hard to see that kind of thing.  I DO wonder if it was me...especially since I have my own battle going on, and frankly, me doing the make up/break up thing for a bit did not help.  However, that happened after the first year of hell too...I was not a basket case in the beginning.  I felt uneasy trusting him throughout our relationship, and he knew it.  I tried to establish boundaries - I&#039;m pretty headstrong and while I can compromise, I held a hard line on some stuff.  Hence our demise.  His current flame told me I had a fear of being alone...my response was &quot;who is alone, and who went right into another relationship?&quot;  The day I was discarded, he told me &quot;I realized I was just afraid to be alone&quot;...yet hours later, she moved in.  One question I have had is, how come they cannot maintain the niceness?  If they can do it in the beginning, what makes the mask slip?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[wow!  So I was recently discarded.  At the time it    happened I was incredibly confused and did not realize that I had been abused.  Looking back, it   fits everything mentioned here.  We initially met online and were long distance initially.  We had our first date a few weeks later when he was in town.  Connected immediately. We spoke on the phone regularly and it   all seemed to be going well.  He was in town again house hunting and invited me along...during this day, he made it   seem like he was looking for a house he hoped I would like since he was so into me (it   seems) and planning for us to be moving in that direction.  Then when he came back in town to close on the house he invited me to his closing (which is again quite strange in hindsight because we had only been on 2 dates at this point). Then one day (Valentine&#039;s Day) I got a surprise flower delivery at work. I was so appreciative of the kind gesture.  Then I got a second flower delivery in the afternoon because he didn&#039;t think the first delivery was good enough. The second delivery came in a vase of my favorite color.  Later that night he asked if I would like to be exclusive.  Well after dealing with so many inconsistent, non-committal men, I thought, finally a man who knows what he wants and commits!  He mentioned multiple times going on a trip together, but I didn&#039;t really take it   seriously because I thought it   was a bit soon for all of that.  Well a few weeks later he had bought plane tickets, booked a hotel, and had it   all set up.  So we ended up going and did have a great time, he also presented me with $300 earrings on this trip.  He was super protective and chivalrous the whole time, making sure I was always walking on the inside of the sidewalk, showing me new places, etc., even told me he was already falling in love with me.  Still Mr. Perfect.  Too good to be true, but it   was doing it&#039;s job in making me lower my guard and fall much quicker than I normally would. He made me feel safe to fall for him because he seemed so sincere.  A month later I had an event I was going to my hometown for, and again, I didn&#039;t even think to invite him since it   was still so early into us knowing one another.  Well he mentioned that he wanted to come along to support me and he also mentioned he wanted to meet my mother.  Again, MUCH earlier than I would ever do this.  But since he seemed so sure and so different, I took him to meet her and some of my other family members, and they were charmed by him too.  Of course this made me think, this guy is planning to be around for the long-haul. I still felt like a queen, as he had me on such a pedestal.  He mentioned our future together, how we would grow old together, where we would be traveling in 10 years, made comments about &quot;our child.&quot; Even talked about looking for houses.  Then I started seeing some signs...but at the time I brushed them off, not seeing them as signs.  One day he randomly asked if I would get breast implants if he payed for them.  I got a bit defensive (naturally) and he laughed it   off saying he was kidding.  Then there were many comments about what hairstyles he liked and didn&#039;t like, what lipstick color I should wear, what shoes he preferred me to wear, and little snarky comments about my habits (such as being indecisive when ordering in restaurants and &quot;talking too much&quot;) started coming up.  Pretty soon I was feeling pretty insecure and really sensoring myself to avoid these jabs (so not my personality).  The devaluation only got worse as I got more insecure and began to lose my confidence.  He then would make more brazen and downright mean comments, sometimes even in public setting.  I was still so blinded and clinging to that sweet, perfect man he once was that I brushed all of this under the rug.  However, my internal defenses started creeping in, and I realized that I was much less comfortable around him, wasn&#039;t generally in a good mood when we were together, and was losing attraction for him.  I believe he sensed this.  Soon after he came to my house acting very strange and then blurted out that he thought his feelings should be deeper for me than they are and that he thought he would be in love by the 6 month mark but was not and that he doesn&#039;t want to string me along so he was breaking up - the discard. This was bizarre coming from someone who had begged to meet my mom, made plans for our future together, and sent flowers to my job twice a month, even gave me flowers a week earlier, which all generally are gestures to show, well, LOVE. But now it  makes senses, because this is a person who can&#039;t love.  It    wasn&#039;t until weeks later that I had a clear enough view to recognize what had happened to me.  It   actually scared me that I was under such a spell.  I never saw myself as someone who was susceptible to abuse.  This was a real eye-opener.  Glad it   was a relatively short relationship - 9 months total, with 6 being in a relationship.]]></description>
