do seem so determined to prove that you are right, that you cant see the wood for the trees.
I know this scenario, as Ive lived it too. Its the effect of living with a liar when you are someone who, because of your childhood and past relationship history, needs honesty and truth to feel safe.
And you dont know what love is.
Really, believe me, you dont.
You think its to do with crumbs and sex
It really, really, isnt,
You will drive yourself crazy trying to know whats going on in his head - I mean, listen to yourself - look back at your posts, it ALL about him, about what he said, about what he feels, about trying to understand the whats, the wheres, the whys - there is no space left for you to think about anything else for a second, because even thoughts about yourself have him right at the centre of it.
I went to therapy and was told 2 things. Firstly, I was so busy firefighting every problem that he made, that I didnt have the mental space to actually realise I could step away from the drama. I wanted to fix it, but it was not fixable, becuae what I was trying to fix was broken beyond repair and not my job to fix.
And secondly I went because I had a relationship problem that I wanted to sort out (which is kind of the same as above) The therapist from an outside perspective could see very clearly - as everyone here can see very clearly - that I didnt have a relationship problem. The relationship WAS the problem, and once that was out of the way and my brain was able to break the habit of centering him in everything, it had the space to then start working on the unhelpful messages about myself and about relationships that I had picked up along my life.
I hope you stick with the freedom programme. I hope you ope your eyes. I hope you can pull your mind off ever getting the truth from this bloke.
