Surprise....EX-N called....

Ladies..

Remember how upset I was when I called ex and he didn't respond? Well, today, he called. I answered. He told me that since I was respectful by calling him without blocking my number, he figured he would call me back. (Gee, thanks)

During the course of the conversation, of course, he HAD to tell me he has a new girlfriend. But then, he offered no details, saying it was none of my business.

He told me that he didn't hate me, but our last conversation in March upset him so much he had to hang up because he felt "manipulated."

He made some sort of dumb comment about how we are "strangers" now. To which I said, "Oh, no we're not. I know you better than anyone. We will NEVER be strangers!"

I got to tell him some things I needed to get off my chest, but all-in-all, the conversation left me pretty numb, and left me more reassured that he DEFINITELY IS a narc.

Later in the afternoon, he CALLED ME BACK, telling me he has some things of mine and wanted to bring them over. He said he would just come over, drop them off, then leave. He did not want to stay and talk to me, because "he didn't like how our earlier conversation went." Here we go again! Blaming me!!

I told him I was with a friend cleaning, and that I didn't think I was emotionally prepared to see him. He then got pissy, saying that if I didn't get back to him about this soon, he would just throw my stuff away; that he was being kind by keeping it this long! I told him I would call him when my friend left and let him know my decision. At this point, my head was killing me and I had to take a xanax!

Later on, I called him and told him I didn't want him to come over, and that he should drop my stuff off on my porch tomorrow while I am asleep in the morning. He said "fine" and that's basically it.

Was it worth it to call him yesterday? NO. Did I learn something? YES. He is, with no doubt in my mind, a NARC.

Maybe now, I will be able to remove him from that dumb pedestal I had him on, and FINALLY move on!!!

XOXO!

unfinished

for what ever reason it was unfinished to you and you were restless over it. I am glad you got to talk to him and you feel you can move forward --and on - with the new info you go out of that conversation. I hope you can come to peace with it.

I think this just might be the turning point for you

As time goes by, and we immerse ourselves in knowledge, even when we cheat and break NC the lesson sinks in. I think you're on your way. I'm sorry that this happened to you Mer, but you know what...only one way to go from here and that's up. Hugs!

What a douchebag! They are

What a douchebag! They are too funny and predictable. It sounds like it was a good thing in the end that you got to talk to him, sometimes it clears the last of the fog! Now let's hope he doesn't make heaps of noise dropping your stuff to wake you up- if he drops it off at all!! If he doesn't, be prepared for that too and remain no contact! He'll only want a reaction. Your doing well mer, keep up the great work!

Yup, Narc-a-roni

Wow, in what little you said of your conversation he sounded so much like my ex. Yes, knowing he is definitely a narc will help you move on! Yeah! for that and for being strong enough to not let him just come over when he wanted to - what an ass! Knock him off that damn pedestal - he does not deserve to be on it one second more!!

Journey on...

Unbelievable

He tells you he has a new gf but then it is none of your business. What an idiot. He felt manipulated? Projection, you think? Blame others instead of taking responsibility for your own behavior. Good that he can drop your stuff off without you seeing him. I never want to see mine again.

He's the king of projection;

He's the king of projection; I realized that today. It's funny, I still felt myself getting sucked in to his scrambled eggs, as my pal Hunter would say! I almost felt like I had to defend myself. I am so glad I was strong enough to tell him to come here when I was not awake and just leave the shit on the porch. I don't need to torture myself by seeing him when he is acting like a douchebag! XOXO

Yep!

I was thinking the same thing! Asshole won't bring it by because he really wants to see you and torture you some more. He'll call at his convenience with some lame excuse/blaming you instead.
