He sent me note he's on dating site

He sent me a note that he's on a match and I'm the one that drove him away.

I am at work right now and I'm doing everything I can to not run out of here. I want to cry so bad I can't help myself. I'm losing it! I am so upset and I don't want to lose my job. I feel like I can't stay. Please help me. Please help my pain. I'm feeling so out of control right now. I want to run back to him and text him. I haven't but I'm losing it. Please help me...

Do you really need help with understanding the concept of his disorder? If so, you need more research. What will it take? What is the :one" thing your looking for? He is trying to cause this pain on you.You know what you could do? Read more, educate yourself more to justify not contacting him.

Remember me, the one who spent 15 years off and on with the Narc, yours is treating you as bad, if not WORSE

So sorry you are upset

Now, he can go on to match.com and find someone else to torment. I know how difficult it is, but just try to find a way to see it as pathetic. Of course he will say it is all your fault. They can not take blame for anything. This will get better for you, I promise, even if it does not seem like it will now. Peace.

More proof that he is an N. Don't u dare go look on match it will only hurt you trust me I did it and it crushed me. The type of woman he was looking for described me to a tee. He even used specific things that he had done with me in his profile. For a few minutes I almost couldn't breath for a few minutes. Do not respond or look it will only bring pain

Ughhh...same here. within 24 hours of the final D&D, he was on match.com with a description of someone that sounded EXACTLY like me. I was totally sick to my stomach that I blew it! Triggered panic attacks that lasted for months.

Deep breath

Don't fall for the trap. He is just fishing to get a response from you, and more the better if that response is an emotional one. He feeds on your sadness and your tears. I know how hard it is to ignore. I know what it feels like to desperately want to hear from him and fear hearing from him all at the same time. I worked with mine too. It is utter hell. It gets better. Don't open yourself up to new pain, and the old pain will start to heal. Think about the nice thing you will do for yourself tonight. Buy yourself a great dinner, watch a movie you've been dying to see, go have cocktails with a friend (and DON'T talk about him.) Refocus. Create something to look forward to.

love your sentence: "I know what it feels like to desperately want to hear from him and fear hearing from him all at the same time. I worked with mine too. It is utter hell." that's exactly what it was like. I yearned to get an email or call from him, but if I got an email - it made me so sick, I didn't want to open it for fear he was going to dump on me again. And if it was a call, even though he was nice, i was short with him, because I coulnd't believe any of his bs anymore. Terrible catch 22 until you can push through it! I worked with mine too and we've been business partners forever, so it was painful.

so mean

Take some deep breaths and try to dis-engage from him. I know it's hard. You have to take care of you. He is a complete jerk, and he is being purposely MEAN. Don't fall for it!! Hold your head up high!! You have support!

Oh Sweet Happy Girl,

I would have to agree with Betty on this one, for sure. It is time to take responsibility for your own recovery. This man is punishing you and rubbing it in your face. What a jerk. I personally can relate...I don't know if it is out of habit to look, or a driving compulsion or sometimes one or the other. But listen, what you don't know can't hurt you! You want to know about his disorder and be educated regarding it, but you don't want to know about HIS LIFE! It will only hurt you. Did you read up on Briseis post on the other website? He is out trolling for weaker prey then he is punishing you for not being that sick, weak, slow prey he can pounce on. Think of him as some predator. Be thankful you are out of his sites...you are a strong, fast beautiful gazelle that has outrun him. Be happy (like your name), that you have had a second chance to have have a new start!

I agree with everyone else here, this man is evil and intentionally doing whatever he can to get a reaction from you. No normal person is so cruel. No man worth loving would ever be so heartless and mean spirited. You deserve so much better and he deserves none of you! I hope you can feel better, trust you have the strength to rise above his devaluation of you! He is not someone worth any more of your energy or to take seriously in any way, as he is seriously sick. ((((hugs))) Journey on...

Journey on...

Big Hugs!

Please think about this.....WHAT KIND OF MAN TELLS A WOMAN SOMETHING LIKE THIS? You did not cause his actions, you are not in control of his actions. If he got on there, its because HE wanted too!!!! HE is playing the blame game!!! Plus intentionally trying to hurt you. Give yourself 5 min, breathe deep and think of some woman you care about deeply, what would you tell her if she was in your shoes? Stay strong, try your best to ignore him.

Happy, Why do you continue

Happy, Why do you continue to inflict pain and misery upon yourself? You have been with us long enough to understand that you must take some part of the responsibility in your own recovery once you have been enlightened to the dysfunctional relationship your in with this demented individual. You responsibility is protecting your mental health and sanity. The only way to do this is to block all means of communication. Im not telling you something you do not know by now. If you continue to allow him to contact you, you will continue to struggle. The pain will not go away. The obsessive thoughts will plague you and linger indefinitely. You know this. You must break this addiction. We are not kidding anyone when we keep the door open for contact with these people. This is what we do as we have not committed to moving forward and are still hanging on. I did it and Im sure others will tell you the same. When you allow them the means to connect with you, it is only because you still want the connection. And this ultimately is a choice that only you can make however, you must understand that along with this comes all of the things such as pain, anger, resentment, obsessive thoughts, hypervidgalence, crying, physical ailments, confusion etc... But more importantly is that you are continuing to allow yourself to be held captive. A prisoner to the beast. You life is suspended, frozen and will never break free from the chains of this bondage until you are ready to let this go. No contact is for you to heal and recover. It is your way to freedom. No one ever told you here that this would be easy, fun, enjoyable. It wasnt for me in the beginning. But i can tell you that it is the only way. We have no "Option B" for us in recovery. Once your ready to relinquish the idea that you have power or control over this person, realize and accept that you can not fix, change or rectify the past with him, understand that you have done all within the scope of your power and have turned up empty handed, you have to realize that the only way to fix the problem is to fix yourself. And this involves complete removal from this toxic person. You know i luv you girl. We have had many of convos in the past and I have worried about you for some time. I have struggled this road to recovery right along with you. But, like it or not, i consider you a dear friend. And with this comes my responsibility to tell you only truths. Your real friends tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. So im telling you that it is time now to shift gears. The old ways no longer work for you Happy. I think you ultimately know this. I also know deep inside that you know what does. So with this said, take that next step. Block this person physically out of your life for good. Permanent and forever. Make this commitment to yourself. You need it and deserve it after all that you have been through. Lots of Love Betty xoxo only one way to go...Forward (tm?)

YES!

No power or control over this person! And have to remove oneself from this toxic person!! This whole comment above is simply smashing! This is so hard to change ourselves. And it is the little N in all of us who thinks we can change him. Because all of us have N qualities which we seek to control & do control to some extent. So we believe that we can teach our raging N to control his bad behavior as we control ours. But Ns have no empathy & they will not change. So it's only me that can change my perspective of N.

Freedom from bondage

"Your life is suspended, frozen and will never break free from the chains of this bondage until you are ready to let this go." That is it Betty. Happy, you know how much we care and only you have the POWER to stop and if you don't think you can do it alone, get down on your knee's and ask God for help. My X destroyed my life in 9 short months and as Betty say's here, it was as though I was frozen, by his control and manipulation. The truth of the matter is that I was not, it just felt that way. Nothing changed until I stopped. I needed to get the law involved in my case. When you are ready you will tell him to stop and if he does not you can have him charged with harrassment. That will sober him up real fast. He gets away with this because you allow him to get away with this. You do not need to see this stuff he sends anymore. Enough is enough. You have the tools to change this. He is not worth you misery. He is a bad man. He is a sick disordered personality who needs to be removed from your life on all levels. No emails, no texts, no phone calls, no talks with people he knows. All of it needs to go. You are in a batterers cycle of abuse here, and I understand that you feel helpless, I have been there. You are not helpless, you are a strong beautiful women who needs to make some drastic changes. What are you willing to do to stop this today? God bless, Goldie

This guy is a true asshole! You should be laughing at him. I know it hurts, that what he's trying to do. It's working isn't it? He makes my narc look like prince charming. Be glad you got out of this, he is not normal. I told you call me if you need to. I think you should tell your job you are sick, leave and get a massage! Love Idealk

Be Strong!

Be strong! Keep it together for the rest of your shift. Try not to let him have so much power over you as you are worth so much more. If things are really bad and there is another staff member to take over from you, see if you can get home as a last resort. If this man is a N - he is not worth losing your job for. Your life, your job and your other relationships matter more. Deep breaths, distractions, anything to focus away from him. You are worth more than him. Sending you big hugs and kind thoughts.

Stay at work you feel so

Stay at work you feel so much better,in the long runs that you do, I promise. I lost a job of 10 years because of my N and I was making super good money! And I so regret my behavior at that job because of him. It is not worth leaving nothing is going to make it better between you too and only for one reason because he is an N. So NC it the only way you are going to feel better. Boy I have gone through the way you feel right now a million times, and if I could change the way I felt at the time now boy I would of done it. Just take some deep breaths and try to ignore it, because it will just happen again, and again and again, Trust me! Just be strong and go on with your day, you are too good for that BS!!!

Happy1, you are making yourself

very unhappy by continuing to receive and read messages, notes, calls, whatever from this guy. This is the guy who I believe said you could see him two times a month and go to counseling for YOUR problems. This is the guy who is still ruling your life because you are allowing it. Why? You can stop it. I'm going to borrow a familiar line from IdealK...DELETE DELETE DELETE and BLOCK BLOCK BLOCK. Do you want to keep spinning like this? What good is coming from it? What good do you see down the road coming from it? I see it is destroying you... ...please don't let that happen. You do not need this in your life. I hope I do not sound harsh but Hap, you've been going through this since Christmas. It is now January 11. How can we help? I'm glad you reach out here but you, too, have to BLOCK and DELETE to get some peace and the strong women here will help you from there. I know this. I am an example. Hugs to you Happy. I want you to be Happy and well. Sincerely (slowing starting to stop) spinning
