Hi everyone

I put a post on afew weeks ago questioning if I'm going through EA or if I'm too sensitive. Ive came to the conclusion that yes it is EA. Nothing major but death by a thousand paper cuts type of thing. Anyway, I got him to watch I am...Nicola. he said it's a mirror image of us and that he has done worse. He said the difference is he knows that he has done wrong but the guy In the programme did not.

He cried loads that night when I gave him some recent examples of his behaviour such as questioning why his toothbrush had moved, who knows what he was accusing me off! The silent treatment because I was with friends etc. Hes said this is the biggest wake up call hes had , this had been said previously though.

Last night when he came in from a night out, abit drunk he was really upset. Said that I hate him and when I leave can I remember how much he loves me, I'm his world etc. He knows hes "fucked up."

Is it wrong I dont feel all that sorry for him? Also that I dont believe that he will change? Even if its 10 years from now, I just have the feeling it will creep back to exhausting behaviour.

He knew exactly what he was doing. What a creep. I hope you move forward and never look back x

He sounds like he has a problem with alcohol ... they don’t call it the demon drink for nothing

You're not gullible OP, it's called cognitive dissonance (it's less painful to believe his lies than face the harsh reality that he doesnt give a fuck)

Theres only so long you can live like that though. These men are master manipulators and will say ANYTHING to get what they want.

I find it hard to see myself as being in that bad of a situation but your probably right
