I was just reading ‘7 phrases to know if your dating a narcissist’ and whilst I don’t think the man that I’m in love with was a narcissist then the guy that I last had sex with, 3 years ago next month was definitely one! He tried coming back to me, every now and then, after we had our fling and in that 3 weeks he was talking about a 30 year marriage between us, he had told his mother about me, he had been through my phone with a fine tooth comb whilst I was sleeping and then when I told him that we were just a fling then he had tears in his eyes, he simply cannot be without a woman, the last time he contacted me was November 2017 and he declared his love, told me that he had been doing his family and friends heads in by talking about me, he was talking like we were girlfriend and boyfriend and now I understand that he was trying to ‘hoover’ me back in, I contemplated meeting him for sex as the sex between us was great and he was gorgeous, but he was scaring me with the crap he was coming out with so I arranged to meet him 3 times and 3 times I cancelled, anyway he went out for his gyms Xmas night out and met another woman and emailed me to tell me a month later, and in that month he had apparently ‘fell in love’ with her, after 2 months previously telling me that he had fallen for me! I had a lucky escape there, I always thought that he might have been a narcissist and now I’m 100% certain.
He needs a woman in his life always, this is to give him validation and to take their supply.
He love bombs you like your the best thing since sliced bread and then ghosts you like you meant nothing, even though he tries to make you think that he loved you.
He wants to know everything about you, no doubt to use against you in the future.
When we first met he told me that he thought I was lonely, which I was, and this is why he probably homed in on me, that and the fact he fancied me, I’m sure of that.
He tried making me jealous.
The above is everything he did in 3 weeks, I’m glad I have finally recognised a narcissistic man. I don’t think the man that I love now is one because he didn’t do any of these things, he treated me normally and didn’t profess his love or anything, our relationship went at a normal pace, unlike Mr Muscle (he was the 3 week fling) did.
The violent guy was definitely a narc, oh my god he was the one man that you’d meet and say that there is no way on earth that he would hit a woman, threaten to rape a woman and play psychological games with a woman that he claimed to love, even some of his friends thought that I was making bad things up about him, until he lost it with me one night in front of 2 of them, and then they knew what he was really like, and I was glad at that.
