Dear Ishita,
Thanks for giving some examples…
So then I get this angry message from him, that u just told me u werent available , and now u are in the meeting and I was waiting for you(when I had already let him know that I wouldnt want him to wait) . So, I left the meeting and called him immediately, but he just wouldn’t pick my calls at that point and neither talk to me, he was pissed for I dont know what reasons. But unresolved issues make me bothered even if it doesn’t to him
Well, this incident when you couldn’t come on meet (and texted him about it), after which he got offended and acted like a spoiled brat – definitely shows his immaturity. Not only then, but on multiple other occasions too, he expected you to drop everything for him, to always be available, to talk to him first before talking to anybody else – but he didn’t do the same for you. It really seems he used you when he needed you to boost his mood, but I don’t think he genuinely cared about you.
And you’re right that he probably knew what he was doing by leading you on, because he could see and recognize similar behavior in other guys. So he’s not that innocent and clueless as he’s portraying himself to be.
And apart from these conversations there used to be his weird expectations that I talk to him first before anyone else if I told him i will call him back or so and let him know whenever I am gng out (which is kind of what a boyfriend would say)
Actually, if he’s a narcissist, this might have even been his strategy to make you believe he cares about you. Like, I care so much, I am so possessive of you. It looked like a behavior of a jealous boyfriend, and no wonder you thought he might really have feelings for you. But it might have been actually an act…
This is what I’ve got so far, I am still thinking about the best plan of action, and whether you should confront him. Let’s wait what Anita has to say…
