Fixing himself???

Maybe he's getting a vasectomy so he can't reproduce cause he KNOWS he's an emotionless reptilian narc!

lol At the end of the day. Don't date a guy who says the words...''I need to fix myself.'' I'd be running for the hills. To me, this is a weak man. No more weak minded men need apply. ;) It's not attractive when a man says this. It's weak. It's wimpy. Good that he can admit his short comings, but the words...''I need to fix myself.'' Sorry, that's weak. You could send him anonymously, a package of bandaids...you know, to 'fix' himself. lol I'm bad.

he needed a fix? !! Love Tigerlily

Like yours mine said in aletter to me once, he was the happiest with me, that i brought him so much joy and happiness, because i was always an upbeat, positive, funny person and he has been depressed for over 20 years.He at the end wrote me and said i was too exhausting to be with, this after he moved to another state, translation meaning he did not want to wear his false persona anymore, it was too exhausting to keep up...initially before I knew about NPD, did not understand what he meant, since i was not even living with him and he had left to move away, so much i know now...............ps how is the new guy?

Some, not many, but some can or will acknowledge that there is something "different" about them, but rarely will they admit something is wrong. People that suffer from personality disorders can attempt to fix themselves, but without much success. It takes years and years of therapy, an honest effort, and the key would be to accept. Most don't get fixed because it is more than likely, the hardest road to travel, and they just don't want to make that investment. Again, VERY VERY rare, but it has happened. More than likely, him proclaiming to want to fix himself is a load of manure. To appease you, I wouldn't believe him. You have a better chance of winning it big in the lottery or being struck by lightning twice.

Fix himself??? It is as good as my ex husband aka antisocial personality disorder, telling me his counsleor discharged him because he's "all better". They never get well because they can't be honest with anyone especially themselves and they truly see nothing wrong with their behavior because it's all our fault because we are crazy. GRRR! POS's

Yeah sounds like he need time to fix his mask. That's the only way they have lived. They never thot they have any problem.

....he means, "I need time away from your watchful eye to go chase other supply down and I don't want you around to see it....when supply runs low or I can't successfully find any, I will be back with you, because you are just back up supply now". love~ Layla

It was him telling you that it's your fault...it's all your fault...he is broken because of you and now he has to dump you so he can repair the damage you did. His statement can also be abridged into the simple statement that "he's an asshole".
