I need some help please

I'm having a really really tough time. I screwed up big time and I'm trying to recover. Most of you may remember that about 3 weeks ago I broke NC with the Narc due to emergent issues at work. I got sent to work in the same area he works and things have been going down hill since. I've tried to remain civil due to work and I've talked to him WAY more than I should have. He started all the CRAP about how much he loves me, misses me, I've always been the one for the him, we were meant to be together, he wants to marry me (in a few years when his kids aren't so attached to the OWs KID), and more garbage and crap constantly. He played the poor pitiful me card and swore he had changed and begs daily for sex. He starts texting me at 5:45 am (when he leaves her headed to work) and text me until 6:15 pm (when he goes home to her) I missed work one day last week and he called my phone at least 20 times and sent multiple text messages that I didn't answer. He calls and text all day while he's at work but when he leaves I don't hear anything. He's at home with the chubby princess acting like she's the most important thing in his life. It's typical Narc bullshit! It bothered me a little at times but it also helped to realize he hasn't changed, will never change and that he's still a whore and a liar! It also answers the question of "do they treat the OW better" and the answer is HELL NO!

So I thought I'd been dealing with it OK. I thought it was amusing at times and at times I thought about how sick and twisted he really is. Sometimes it made me sad because I feel like I'm stuck again. A few times I believed him. It's been 3 weeks of complete insanity. I even told him I was dating somebody to try and get him to go away.

This morning I didn't get my 5:45 am text message and I didn't hear from him all day. I started getting anxious and curious and wondered why?? THAT IS A VERY BAD SIGN. I've got to go back to NC immediately! NOW!

Many of you may not understand this but it's very important for me. I want to keep my dignity and I don't want him to think I've quit talking to him again because I'm mad, hurt, jilted or pissed off. I don't want him to think he gets to me in any way. I don't want him to know he has that kind of effect because it gives him control!!!!! Does that make sense? He probably didn't contact me all day to get a response of me and I WILL NOT give it to him. I want him to think I don't give a damn what he does. I would like to stop all of this craziness but do it with my dignity still in tact.

I know I shouldn't worry about what he thinks but I DO NOT want him to have the power back and to think he got to me. I won't give him that again. I know I have to go back to NC and I know I have to do it ASAP but I need some help figuring out HOW. Our emergent work situation has passed so seeing him as much won't be a problem. THANK GOD! I know I screwed up letting it go this far so now I have to fix it. I really thought I was stronger than this. I was wrong!!!

Thanks in advance for your help! I love having this place to turn to and get honest help and great advice. All of you are so great!

All of you are right

When you are hearing their BS it's so much harder to live in REALITY! Lying comes so easy for them! It's almost humorous! Starting today I'm going to stop this insanity! I am spinning out of control and I DO NOT want to be out of control with him. The only way to stop it is delete delete delete and IGNORE HIM! This is not going to be easy at all. He's not going to let things go. He's bored with the new GF and he needs some excitement in his life. I wish he would find somebody else to torment! Thank you all for reminding me what I should be doing. Listening to him has fogged my brain again!!!!! I hate freaking Narcs!

I understand your anxious

I understand your anxious feeling. It's better after awhile when there's no contact and we've experienced complete silence. It's when they start getting our heads again and contact us on a continous basis that we start having that addictive need again. It's like a drug. You were so used to hearing from him daily and then to have it stop is hard. Just remember how much happier you really truly are with him and you do not need him in your life. You only need to to take care of yourself and be kind to yourself. He's a sick man that will never get better. He's not going to change. It's you that has to change in the fact that it's an addiction of sorts that you need to conquer and get over. Best of luck today with him not bugging you! Hugs to you! Happy

This is

what happened to me when i broke the NC three weeks back, I started wondering, mmmm why hasnt he called? Then I stopped and realized, OMG I am getting sucked and pulled back into this mans games again, first he calls, then he ignores me when I respond, then when i dont respond he calls, I mean come on, this is a 55 year old ADULT and this is how he treats people, ITS ALL GAMES to them not only is that SICK its a waste of my time and my life, my life is not a GAME. Just imagine if you slept with him how he would mess with your head, I got some of the WORST game playing after we had an encounter, he KNEW I was most vulnerable at that time after we had just been together, he also LOVED to taunt me and keep me begging to see him, after awhile I just didnt care anymore and when he started to sense that he would say things to make me want him more, and afterawhile I didnt even fall for that anymore, It got to the point I would say, gee I didnt hear from you this week telling me how horny you were for me, what no crumbs this week? GAMES GAMES GAMES, SICK GAMES that had me to the point of insanity. Now I just DONT CARE anymore I am not wasting my life and my time on a man that CANT have a healthy relationship with anyone and not to mention the fact he is a psychopath, let him play his games with his GF I got off the crazy mobile I just want to move on and hope he becomes a distant memory VERY VERY SOON. He is ABNORMAL Sara, stand back and see what he is doing, begging for sex? No he is begging for CONTROL again in your life, its not about the sex with these men, oh sure they will give us some good hot sex but its NOT to get off its so they can try and manipulate and control us again, they want us to BEG for them, adore them, stroke their ego, want them, cry for them, be jealous of their other women, Fuck that I'd rather go to the Zoo at least the predators are behind bars.

Weelllllll Sara...

Getting my Handy Dandy wet noodle out...you know what that's for...the 40 Lashes!!! Well, for starters, remember our song: "Shut up" That's for starters... But on a serious note...I've broken NC before, in fact I don't consider myself NC so to speak, sometimes there is interference but it does not affect me anymore. If I need something then I bite, otherwise, I could give two turds on a rats behind. But my situation is different as I am officially indifferent and it is not a "relationship" per se but if I need something that door is open and it's understood "Homie ain't getting NO PLAY!" AND I don't even have real feelings for "HOMIE" as far as "Homie" is concerned, I am a NARC towards him too! That's how I deal with him, but I don't think many can shut themselves off that way, and I have certain circumstances that lead me to want to have a "handyman" around and I won't get into it but for the majority of people here as in 99.999%...DON'T DO IT...DON'T!!! IN my case, it is also clear that although I've been hurt on some level, the narc won't go but so far with me - he's a little scared of me...BUT I don't engage in games, and my boundaries are clear but I do remember a time when he COULD hurt me very much so and that was BAD and DANGEROUS for me...Now that I've confessed here...and I do stick to NC but there are exceptions to clarify WE ARE NOT FRIENDS...it is a needs based relationship so to speak...and one in which only my needs are met. He owes me some favors, and FAVORS I do need to cash in on. AND LET ME CLARIFY...NOT SEXUAL FAVORS, very practical favors... NOW earlier in the "recovery" I was obsessed, looking for any clue or indication of "contact" I was a mess. I don't think you're quite a "mess" but it bothers you. What I can say now, in hindsight having been there...what happens is we go NC and we get strong, then sometimes there is "breakthrough" contact - a term I'm making up here...you were NC then circumstances caused contact to start up again...and for a while a "pattern" of "light banter" where he doles out his lines of crap ensue. You really know they're crap, you might not act on it, but you kinda like the attention - only thing is he's full of crap and only using us for supply - as when they go home to the fat princess...in my case she's a fat monster...really really scary looking the weight isn't the issue, but she looks scary anyway I digress, they don't bother contacting. See, he was still messing with you and he figured he'd get you a little high get you "hooked" so he could get control back then RIP the carpet from under you and leave you panting. Now, I would not say you are literally panting, but you are a little bothered cause you got caught up in a bad habit again. AND with that, comes of course the withdrawl. NOW, I think on some level, you might have a little jolt but I think if you give it a few days, and you stick to the board and keep busy, you will find that just as much as it got you a little *don't know the word here* not excited but got you a bit looking forward to it, added to some amusement, whatever...give it a few days and it won't be that intense. At least that was my experience...now I don't care at all. Hope that helps some...don't be too hard on yourself but get back on the wagon and remember the reasons why you are NC and what he is and the fact that he's with a FAT Princess, when if he were normal and was capable of love, attachment and not disordered, WE would not have had this conversation. Or even met here... OR went through any of the pain, agony and anguish we've gone through. Hugs!

I can't even imagine what it

I can't even imagine what it is like to have to work with him! He texts you ( and good for you for not responding btw!) but then suddenly, he stops...and you wonder why, as would any one us in that situation. It's pretty hard to have NC and move on when he is in your face like that. Texting you, hasn't gotten him a response....so now he's trying silence.....to see if THAT will work. It's obvious from an outsider's perspective, what he is trying. You can block him from texting you, no? Do that. Otherwise, I really don't know what the solution is ( other than finding another job, which I know isn't easy, nor is it fair).....it sucks so bad that you have to work with him! I wish I owned a business and could offer you a job somewhere else, so you wouldn't have to deal with him!!

Staying Strong

I have responded to his text at times. I don't want to look like I'm jilted and bitter. Most of the time it was to call him on his BS and then other times it was to talk about work and other things. I really screwed up. That is so sweet that you'd give me a job if you owned a business. :) That brought tears to my eyes. That is why I love this site so much. Everybody on here truly cares. Thanks for your help tonight and all of the help before. You are the greatest.

well, honestly, I really wish

well, honestly, I really wish I could do more to help!! You haven't "screwed up". Like I said, I can't imagine being forced into contact...ie) working with him, having kids with him etc. Now, missy...NO more keeping contact to "call him on his BS"!! that is a FUTILE effort, he will NEVER "get it" no matter what you say... and as far as the work related stuff, well, he does not need to text you privately for those matters. Block him from your private phone. In fact, if you can...have his calls redirected to your dentist ( lol, sorry, I am preoccupied with your ex's teeth lol) Seriously though, from what you have posted before about him....he is HARASSING you. Document it and report it.

Stayging Strong

I laughed so hard I spit Dr. Pepper on my computer! Direct his calls to my dentist! Haaaaaaaaaaa! That is great!!!!!! Thank you so much for that! I needed a good laugh! I promise starting tomorrow there will be no more contact for any reason. I don't care if the building is burning down. I just wish I could do it and not make him think I give a damn. He's so arrogant he'll read all kinds of crap into me cutting him off again. I HATE giving him that!

Dr. Pepper is one of my

Dr. Pepper is one of my favourite drinks!! but I am glad that if a mouthful of if had to be wasted....it was due to laughing at your former jackass's expense lol...otherwise, I may not be so forgiving. He will get the point that you don't give a damn....when you consistently practice NO CONTACT...NO RESPONSE. Don't you worry for another second what he thinks. Time will tell the story...eventually he'll get that you are no longer succeptible to his immature games. And you will have the last laugh. You will have won. I am holding you to this promise of yours btw, and I will be checking in with you tomorrow! xoxo
