Covert Narcissist - Sons Dad.

Hi Mothers,

I hope everyone is well :)
I am intrigued to know if anyone else has experienced this type of abuse. I was pregnant with a guy and in the beginning I would say 0-6 months he was constantly buying me flowers, showing up to my workplace to bring me coffee and basically followed me whenever I went to the gym to workout (I believe this is signs of narcissism), because suddenly when I called him out for not having boundaries in terms of coparenting with his ex he then left the relationship with me VIA text and then went ghost/silent treatment. Then two weeks later, he (hoovered) me back in and started buying me flowers constantly messaging. Then again we had the same issues, he was in mounts of debt, was about to loose his house and again co-parenting boundaries had not been formed and promises to change it were being broken so I became very distressed and upset. Then he ignored me for two days no text message no calls, and when I went to his house he said he was "trying to find a way to break up with me". Then he started crying, saying he missed me, but things were not as they think and his only trying to make me happy. But everytime I would approach him it was all about his needs, he would emotionally manipulate me into believing he was the victim. Long story short, I went through with a termination recently and he supported me again (lovebombing) and then no soon as a week after the abortion when I needed him the most silent treatment once again...

Any advice please :)

Run while you’re not tied to him.

Dump him. Too many red flags, it's more like bunting.

I’m not sure this is covert narcissism as I’ve always understood it
But whatever it is it’s super toxic
Why would you want to be treated like this
Get rid
