Why oh why...yes, I'm feeling pity for him again.

Why? Why do I have pity for this man? Not in as much as it has anything personal to do with me. Like I'm not 'sorry' for breaking up with him. NOOOO WAY! LOL Let's just get that out in the open.

No. It's like, I don't know him anymore...and I got another voicemail today. A few, saying he's depressed. 'Dee, you should just call him. I know it would make him feel better.' Ah, they don't get it. The minions don't get it. I'm not calling the man, no worries, everyone. But, it's like, who is this man. Is he a heartless bastard? Yes. Is he a troubled, lost soul, lonely...desperate for attention...seeking women, but never finding happiness? Yes. He's both. How can he be both.

Dammit. I cried for the guy today. Not in the way you cry for an abandoned child, or children you hear of starving in Africa. No. I don't feel that kind of pity. But, he suffers from himself. Yes. That's it. He suffers from NPD. He does. He won't admit he is the one with the problem. None of them do. But, he suffers, like someone suffers from an incurable disease. But, at least they see the doctor. These types won't. They just continue to upset people. I heard he got into a fight with someone. He has so much anger. I don't know why.

I don't know why I am sharing this here. Just thinking out loud. I don't dislike that I feel this way. There was a time when I got angry over feeling pity. Now, it's like hearing of a stranger--almost. But, as I listened to the voicemails ...I thought. I dated that man. I might have even loved him. I don't know anymore. But, maybe he did love in his very very VERY limited capacity. And he yearns for that something or other that he can't have anymore. And despite his NPD, he knew, I understood him, and wanted to help him. And maybe, he wanted me to. But, he caught himself, and morphed into the bastard that I saw more often than not.

Oh, everyone. Why do I feel this way. I'm not pmsing. lol I just listened to my voicemails from this same girl who contacted me at home over the weekend...and thought. How can this man, never ever learn? He is getting into fights? He's too old for such behavior.

He suffers from himself. I feel like crying again. I hurt for him today. I know I am healed, because I can honestly feel pain for this stupid idiot! lol

Oh gosh, you probably all want to strangle me. But, I thought, maybe someone out there in cyberland will identify with this...

No worries. I still think he's a colossal asshole. :=P

yes, my cell number i did. not my home number. this one girl we were collectively friends with, has it. praying she doesn't give it to him. but if so...i'll change it. nothing really is insurmountable anymore. i think in the beginning, i lived in worry and fear over him. no more though.

At least my former Narc boss...

Was *OPENLY* gay. He loved control.... but he didn't toy with women by feigning interest in them. He didn't have fake girlfriends. He didn't get married&have kids just to look respectable. He had an older boyfriend, and he was HONEST about it. Better than the ex-Psych prof, who PRETENDED to be straight with his butch girlfriend, ranted endlessly against gays, and gushed ad nauseam about Gary Johnson (then-governor of New Mexico) My former Narc boss showed some integrity and morality.

Yay! Brought a smile to your

Yay! Brought a smile to your face! He's not worth one tear...not ONE. You and me are kindred spirits...we dated the same guy dammit! I don't feel any sorrier for mine than I would a rabid dog that bit me. At least the DOG can be put to sleep out of concerns for public safety...yet the two-legged kind get to live. Whyyyyyyyyyyyy?

Like this, Syren!

You know what my mother said about my previous narc? She said "He`s like a dog that keeps on pissing on the carpet. All you can do is shoot the dog". I didn`t get on so well with my mother, but that really made me laugh. Hugs. Tigerlily

CLASSIC!

That's a keeper, Tiger! Our moms come up with some of the funniest shit I swear. When mine had cancer and was in hospital, she looked at me and calmly stated "you know, we're all just plates of sushi here"....the visual her statement evoked was so damned funny! The woman didn't know her penchant for comedy!

you are so right, syren. i go

you are so right, syren. i go through 'spells' of pity. you know, i've never missed him, though. lol i never once regretted ending things. i regretted starting things with him. for if i had never started anything with him, we would have remained friends...and i would have believed that he was a good guy. but, no. i had to date the jerk, and discover the truth. but, then again...i now know a lot about this disorder. and i do think it is a disorder. i didn't think so last year, when i was dating a different narc. but, now after this one, i believe it. it's too surreal all the parallels we all share here. different men. same personalities. same behaviors. it's eery. well, pity spell is over. i started remembering how horrible he was/is. i know that he's playing the victim to the minions, so it gets back to me. nice try. see, syren. before you came here, he used to bait me through our 'friends.' i had to cut them all out of my life. they literally reported his every move to me...it was insanity at its best. that said, this one final 'friend,' has my home number...and see? still dutifully reporting on his behalf. why doesn't she go to bed with him? lol kill two birds with one stone, i say. but, he doesn't want me back. he wants me to contact him. he is low on attention from women, i'm gathering. low on supply. i was good supply. he wants me to contact him...so he can say...''fuck you dee...you fuckin cunt!''

Oh, right after I dumped Mr.

Oh, right after I dumped Mr. Groin, I did a massive personal life house cleaning and cut ties with so many people, I lost count. All toxic people were purged from my life. Today I have a circle of friends who are true friends and I am at peace...anyone who mentioned that douche bag to me post-breakup was written off on the spot. I'm not putting a very personal and painful experience on display for other people's amusement. Fuck them. Just remember....he's GAY GAY GAY!!!!!!
