He had me at "hello"
1

The second I laid eyes on him I wanted him all to myself-at any cost,apparently!This was about 15 years ago. He was much more charming than he is now. Now he's a pathetic old man that many people don't want to be around. He tries and rarely succeeds in reeling new fish in. They're out there, though. He will find them.
I'm trying to figure out exactly what was wrong with me for staying in this sick, sado-masochistic relationship as long as I did. I feel a little better knowing I may not be alone in this quest! I'm so grateful to have found this site. I feel like I may be strong enough(this time)to resist my ex-narc.

Need suggestions please!!

My x N texted me yesterday wanting to hook up and bust out next week. He currently has a new supply but apparently misses our sex life. I was stupid and called his cell phone later that evening, only to have his girlfriend answer the phone. I explained to her that he was texting me as to see me and her statement was 'i don't believe you'. I offered to forward the texts to her, but she didn't want to see them. I know he has her believing whatever lies he is saying about me. I would love to have her read the texts to validate who the real liar is. Any suggestions!!!!!

You're so right! It's the

You're so right! It's the hardest thing to do. I don't know how many times I blocked his number, Silenced his ringtone,(thank God he never learned how to text!) and sought revenge onto his new source. I always did an about face when it came to forgiving him. I even thought about it recently. NC is the only way!

You should send on the texts,

You should send on the texts, if you think that will make you feel better. But, your narc will not like getting found out and he'll punish you. You know that! Chances are it won't make a difference to this girl. And he'll probably make you out to be some lunatic!

You're not alone. We all

You're not alone. We all wonder why we stayed for as long as we did. Whether it's 5 months, 5 years or 25 years. Actually the time doesn't make a difference. So we shouldn't dwell on the time. Even though it's hard at times. Some days I think ''If only I had left him the first time he said this and that.. or the first time he did this and that''... But better late than never. We came out of it alive that's what's most important.
