Please can we have another thread about this. I need to be constantly reminded. I’ve just had another nightmare relationship and the things I can take from it:
He was pretty isolated. He had only one friend who he also managed to piss off frequently. His family didn’t see him or even know he was moving House even though they lived in the same town. His daughter won’t speak to or see him.
When he’s happy everything is sweetness and light. If he’s having trouble at work, or is ill it’s somehow my fault. Using others as an emotional dumping ground for his shit is somehow normal according to him (he says this)
Emotionally manipulative. Dumped me in a crowded restaurant and then decided he’d made a terrible mistale.
Criticised my clothes. Said he didn’t like my perfume.
Made grandiose claims about himself.
Kept telling me sob stories about how he always got the blame for things by his ex wife and how he was only ever trying to get on with everyone. All his exes had BPD or NPD and all he wants is a quiet life.
Making me feel bad if I didn’t orgasm and then if I gave him guidance I was making him feel shit in bed.
