Please help me to see that this is not normal and that I need to cut him off.

Fell in love with another love bombing narcissist and I think I'm about to have to try and cut myself loose...

Felt a bit sick reading that as really thought it was my ex. Even down to the 'bub' and the excessive kisses, as well as the accusations. Then I saw he can spell 'you're' so I guess it isn't my ex...

<shudder> It doesn't get better. I'm glad you're apparently not taking his shit but you need to run for the hills.

He wasn't called Mark was he? I had the same, he had awful spelling.

Please keep away from this person. I’ve also experienced this kind of messaging. With the ridiculous xxxxx then also when they’re really angry a 👍🏼

Makes me feel sick reading this!

Changingplace · 07/07/2024 20:59

Ugh what a horrible way of speaking to you! It’s a no from me, you’re not obliged to immediately reply to him in a given timescale and who else you’re messaging us frankly none of his damn business.

I’d bin him off, I wouldn’t appreciate being spoken to that way, it won’t get better.

Its kind of quite threatening and pretending not to be with the xxxx like he thinks that makes it ok, it does not.

Are they all the same? It's so weird. The narc I was involved with did it too, ridiculous number of kisses then if I only sent 4 he would get the hump. Always accusing me of chatting up other men when he was messaging women. Had kids all over too

thebolter24 · 07/07/2024 21:00

Agree with everyone else, please get rid.

I spent 3.5 years with one of them and they will drain the life out of you and turn you into somebody you don't recognise.

It will be hard at first, but just block on all social media and block his number.

You deserve so much better than this creep x

Eurgh tell him to get to fuck, the massive bellend. And who the fuck does he think he's talking to, while he's at it.

Panpastels · 07/07/2024 21:03

Eek! Yes run. And snap score? Is he a teenager?

PerfectTravelTote · 07/07/2024 21:04

Mine's name began with C, but same as yours, would demand a stupid 'xxxxx' with every text. If I forgot to send any, he'd say I was being 'blunt'. When he was really on one, he'd count how many I'd sent (say 7) vs how many he'd sent in the message before (say 9) and then say I was obviously being off with him. WTF.

This was nearly 10 years ago now and it still freaks me out when I see this kind of thing.

He'd also demand pics of where I was as 'proof', and if I refused, he'd say that was 'proof' I was lying. Because if I had nothing to hide, why wouldn't I just send it? Envy

He’s nuts 😱

“Please help me to see that this is not normal and that I need to cut him off.”

Why? You don’t need help to see this. You call him a narcissist and say you’re going to have to try cut loose. You know full well this isn’t normal already.

TheseBootsAreWalking · 07/07/2024 21:07

This relationship he has with you is all about his needs. It has zero to do with you. You are simply there to comfort, sex things up, provide cash where needed, be HIS GF and be at HIS beck and call. This relationship will never be about YOU, it will never be US it will always be about him.

After 22 hour shift he should be "hun, rest, love you and speak later. No stress with reply. But no its all about what YOU dare to do in your free time after almost 24 hours of continuous work.

Now, whatever version he showed you the first time you met is a fake, its a made up persona to reel you in. IN future, if you decide to stay, he will display this persona over and over again after each abusive cycle to reel you back in, confuse you, control you and manipulate you into being there for HIM.

Now, seeing he is very controlling, be mindful that you do not feed his ego further, meaning, stay safe when telling him you do not wish to be in this relationship, leaving such a prick is more pain than staying with them as they attempt to control you long after it has ended so stay tough.

You may have to repeat yourself numerous times. Best of luch

I confirm this is not normal and you urgently need to cut him off. He is a very nasty and dangerous man. Block him on phone, email, whatsapp, everything.

It's horrible isn't it. I.was always walking on egg shells, he would stalk my social media, watch when I was online on WhatsApp. Was a true narcissist future faked, love bombed me then one day just ghosted me, total discard. I did some digging after and found out he was talking to women all over the place. Usually alot older than him, he told me he had a son but there was at least one other. He did me a favor ghosting, just wish I had blocked 1st.

Starseeking · 07/07/2024 21:11

Just block him and then he'll be gone from your life forever.

SuperBatFace · 07/07/2024 21:12

What the fuck are you doing woman? Honestly, just block him without reply.

yhk · 07/07/2024 21:12

Can you provide more info, OP?

How long have you been with him?
Has he questioned you about who you are talking to before?
Why does he space out punctuation in his sentences?

Regardless , I think you should end it with him .

BodyKeepingScore · 07/07/2024 21:12

Run. And then run some more. What a stalkerish wanker!

Bananalanacake · 07/07/2024 21:22

You don't live with him so he is easier to get rid of.

You answered him perfectly. Now tell him to get to fuck. It is not normal.
