Sense of Humour Failure?
Sense of Humour Failure?
I am part-way through Day 1 of NC - having taken on board all the advice on here. I have kept falling off the wagon to no avail recently .... BUT after the last diatribe, I hit the bottom and am RESOLVED.
He has tried to call several times today, I am screening my calls. It hurts like hell, because the messages say he wants to apologise (but I posted here about whether a Narc apology is genuine, and the general opinion was NO).
But the temptation to pick up and listen to the apology is overwhelming all the same.
Reflecting on what I don't like about him is all that is stopping me, and it made me think of a ludicrous argument. I had been helping him learn a foreign language, and whilst we were chatting about what He (lol) had been doing that day, I said (with humour) "Have you done your homework?". He went ABSOLUTELY BALLISTIC - and was like a kid saying "I am never going to do any again now you have said that"!! When I said I was just joking, he SCREAMED "Do I sound like it's funny? HA HA HA HA HA (in a scary laughing voice). He went on and on and on saying I disrespected him, he had already told me what he had done that day, and it did not involve doing his language tests ... I put too much pressure on, I was trying to make him look stupid, I had slighted him, I was insensitive ... in fact, the way he went on and raged and raged made me into the devil incarnate !!
IT WAS A JOKE ! Does /did anyone else find that the most innocuous comment can lead to such a tirade? It was the catalyst for him saying that he thought we should never speak again .... but there he is ringing to apologise .... and I HAVE to think how horrible he was to stop me picking uo.
Would be interested to know if anyone else has had this?
