I am exactly where you were last year.  In a state of devastation and panic.  I live in Calgary and have very little support.  would you be willing to meet for a coffee or chat on the phone?

Day 17. I decide to try, what did he said, he just said, &quot; you can move in &quot; that&#039;s it. We did have a very good weekend. The dangerous part is that he can be so charming and do all the right things, Normal things, and we did. Have friends for dinner, playing guitar and sing. Go for a walk in the sun. Eating breakfast, looke at a movie.We have been together for so long, but this is a new situastion, we are kind of shy both. I have to say even if he only care about himself he is nice. He did admit, when he is angry and all is wrong with me, it is cause he do not feel good about himself.And for him that protect his image this is a huge, even if i knew, it kind of feel good that he also knew that about himself.

I really did think he did not care about me, it is really true they do want , what they can&#039;t have.We had another night with discussions, he is angry angain. His Ego is hurt. That&#039;s it. All i want is that he tell the hole world i&#039;m his girlfriend and that he stop the internett dating  game. He kind of think he will.I think he lie, it lies and lies.I told him again, that i knew thing, to protect myself,it is by moral, ok to check his computer and i have. And i use it now against  him. It is not wise, but i don&#039;t care anymore.

					<description><![CDATA[Dear Melanie

Your blog and your understandig of Narc have helped a lot, to understand,he do not care, he is not able to love, he do not feel like i do. He only fake to get what he wants.
Day 8. i went away with a friend for the weekend. He is &quot;normal&quot; and want a relationship with me. I like that.
Day 9. i have a good time.
Day 10.i feel bad
Day 11.i went to visit Narc,he was happy, we had a good time. He was also angry cause i had went away with my friend. Still he did not admit i was his girlfriend official. He want to be free to find his ideal girl. It&#039;s not like that he says, but i know. He is on at least 20 different internetdatingsides for girls in other countries.He does not admit, tell me it is cause he is bored, just his fantasy part of brain.But he travel there to visit. He says not true, but i can prove, and  i did. Not good, i knew that.
Day 12. i went home after spend time with him,i did a mistake.
Day 13. He is very angry, i don&#039;t feel much. I try to negotiate with him. That we could remain friends and continue our business relationship.He do not want. He want it to be as it was. If not nothing. So conclusion is as it must be NO CONTACT only thing that work.Like every specialist on Narc says, it is true.He treaten to humiliate me on FB, i treaten back. I can&#039;t see he has anything on me.
Day 13.I have to make a choice.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://blog.melanietoniaevans.com/thriving-after-narcissistic-abuse-story-8-sherry/#comment-107552&quot;&gt;Luann&lt;/a&gt;.

Hi Luann,

anyone who is approaching relationships through unhealed wounds is going to &#039;push / pull&#039;...which is the unconscious trying to get something from someone else that has not been healed yet within self..

The only difference with narcs is they are malicious and have no conscience.

Ok so you are working NARP yeah? The pain of these wounds need to be shifted out - rather than you trying to analyse them and make &#039;sense&#039; of them.

Then when they no longer &#039;hurt&#039; you can keep working on your right to know and state your healthy needs, create boundaries and be emotionally authentic in your life.

When we start trusting ourselves to show up healthily and be safe in life, no matter what other people are doing, then it becomes safe to connect healthily and state boundaries healthily.

These old stories are old charges wounds that you can release and free yourself from Luann.

You can also release that hanging on to not forgiving yourself - by using the goal setting Module to forgive yourself and then  clear all resistance.

Keep this as simple as possible and you will clear it all and be free from these old painful stories..which of course were real at the time, but do not have to keep your emotional energy imprisoned and in pain today.

I have now after 5 yers with a Narc,cut of my addicted relationship.

Day 7 He contacted me, he is nice, i miss him. Then i think what does he want: a Narc always wan&#039;t, what he can&#039;t have,it is the perfect women,in his fantasy she is the ideal love, he get what he could not have, and then, the she he could not get is not perfect,he start thinking how can i get this not ideal love to go away. This is a circel a Narc can not stop. Next girl after me, will not get any thing else than i got. She will not have the love i did not get. No matter how beatiful,rich, sucsessfull, creative, nice, wonderfull, it is just a matter of time. Before the bad treatment start. And soon you will see hers dead eyes. 
Day 7. My friends tell me they see light and life in my eyes. I am relaxed, no pain.
