Disclaimer: I am total idiot and I deserve this completely. But that doesn't mean that it doesn't hurt.
In a nutshell: Met xP (not DDs dad) in June 07. Got together, had a great time. Turns out he was still in love with his ex and they very publicly got back together in November last year. Total shock to me. I was heartbroken and bereft. He didn't handle it well at all, making matters much worse for me. I suspect he has NPD (crucial point).
Fast forward to April this year. I move to another part of town, nearer to him (at the time, I though it a risk I was prepared to take and would carry on just ignoring him in the street, as I had been doing in the intervening months). Started bumping into him a lot, decided one day to bury the hatchet and have a chat. We were in bed together six hours later. Turns out he'd split with his ex again (quelle suprise).
Against my better judgement ( and I knew I was being a self destructive idiot, but somehow couldn't stop myself) we continued to see each other. Today I saw him in the street with his ex and their son. I was nearly sick on the spot. Completely horrified. He now tells me that they have again got back together. This is, I think, about their seventh attempt at a relationship.
And now I'm smarting badly, back to square one, but really I just want to wail with self loathing for being such a prat.
Will I never learn?
Please come and kick me repeatedly, or gouge out my eyes with a rusty spoon or something.
(I have namechanged, but if you know who I am or remember me talking about this person and situation before please keep schtum. Thanks )
