CMI,
LOL… I like your child analogy. Because he is definitely acting like a child. Again I know I shouldn’t care if he cares because I need to forget about him and move on with my life. But it bothers me too that I feel like I wasted so much time with someone who is so delusional, immature and now mean. I definitely don’t want to get pulled back into his unhealthy cycle but I don’t want him to continue with the negative talk. I like happy endings (as happy as it can be anyway). I am still very good friends with all of my exes so I guess that it was I am used to. I did not respond even though I still want to. I am still very disappointed that he texted me instead of calling me. SO it just feels like it was all fake and he never really cared at all. But if you don’t care then why text? Just forget about me and move on right? Ugh… I hate feeling confused. I SO wish I could just turn off my feelings and FORGET ALL ABOUT HIM. I just want to HEAL & STAY HEALED.Butterfly
ButterflyParticipantKittycat,
I get it. I just ended a painful relationship as well. I never caught him cheating but I suspected it. I couldn’t eat nor sleep half the time wondering what he was doing, where he was etc. He said I had trust issues and I did because I was the other woman in previous relationships. It’s a terrible place to be in and b/c of this I PROMISED myself and GOD I would NEVER be the other woman again. Just think about how bad you are hurting NOW imagine HIS WIFE finding out about you? The woman he made a VOW before GOD to. Imagine how SHE would feel? Would you EVER really trust him if he left HER for YOU? (No… you wouldn’t most likely). And he would possibly do the same to you. YOU DESERVE better!! Your OWN man. YES it hurts but get on with YOUR life. Get out, travel, join the gym, a church, a club, take a class. ETC. There are SINGLE men everywhere. ACTIONS speak louder than words so if he REALLY wanted to be with you he would. BUT don’t stick around wasting your time and your life on someone who is aletaken. I am not sure if you are religious or spiritual but there is a quote that says “GOD will NEVER send you someone else husband!” And that is the truth. GOOD luck… HUGS!!!

ButterflyParticipantAnita,
You are absolutely right. The ride made me SICK too many times. Although I enjoyed some things overall the entire VISIT for the last 14 months was more DOWNS then UPS and he does not deserve to waste any more of my precious time. I have to chalk it up as a loss and know that I will NEVER visit a “place” like that again. I just wish he would stop texting me and trying to bait me into a pointless conversation. He is SO immature to be so old. It’s crazy what people resort to. SMDH… Thank you again!! It is great to be able to vent to someone with common sense then to entertain him and get sucked back into his foolishness.Butterfly
ButterflyParticipantAnita,
Thank you. I now that’s what he wants but it just kills me that he has to be so mean about it. BUT He is blocked! I am exiting the theme park. I just wish I could get a refund!! As the cost was very (emotionally) expensive and not worth it!! Thank you.

ButterflyParticipantBRAV3,
Hello! You are NOT alone! I am going through a ROUGH break up too! It’s killing me and I feel like you do. I want to be mean and a jerk to him as he has been to me. BUT I believe in GOD and Karma so I will not lower myself. I was doing so good with not responding to his generic texts (which before I would have). So this morning he sent me three texts being mean….something he hasn’t really done before. He actually said “don’t bother to reply, I don’t care that much.” as the last an final text. That hurt even though it shouldn’t. MY friend said he only said that because he is actually hurt that I have been ignoring his texts. But Now I am stressed out again. I added him back in my contacts just so I could block is number again. I am afraid if and what he will send next. I am just confused if he doesn’t give a damn about me (STILL NOC ACTUALL calls just 5 texts messages in three weeks). WHY bother being mean now?? I have to be honest I REALLY wanted to fire back at him and say how can you be upset with me because I pulled a YOU on You?? You frequently ignored me in our relationship so YOU caused me to now ignore you and now you want to ATTACK me for it? Please I don’t want us to be enemies. I just want it to be over amicacably if that’s possible. Should I just keep him blocked and ignore his tirades? Or respond by saying there is no needs to be mean a vicious. Lets just part ways without all the negativity? What do you think? Thanks!

ButterflyParticipantAnita,
You are correct part of me DID. But I know I can’t keep hoping. It won’t change him. I am moving on. Thank you.ButterflyParticipantSarah,

ButterflyParticipantAbsolutely. Couldn’t have said it better myself!
ButterflyParticipantHello CMI,
Yes…. Although I am getting over him and it is getting easier dya by day. I am with you. AT this point I know I shouldn’t care but part of me see’s him as a Darth Vadar type (Bad but with good still in him). When we were together most of the time he was wonderful so it’s just hard for me to believe sometimes that it was all just a façade. I think he is a damaged person who does not know how to love “correctly”. At times he was so loving & caring but I can only assume it was part of his sociopathic charm. I still pray for him everyday and although he crushed me I struggle with still loving & caring for him and hating him for what he did to me. And yes it is a very hard pill to swallow. I just have to keep reminding myself that I am surely not the only person he as victimized he is very good and has probably had lots of practice before me so I shouldn’t be so hard on myself that I “fell” for it all. I am hoping he will leave me alone asap so I can completely move on. I think he sends the texts just so I will not forget him. How cruel. GOD help me. Thank you! I am trying!!

ButterflyParticipantHello CMI,
I agree with everything you said. It has been easier and easier as the days go on for the most part. I have been processing all that I have read and it is helping with me decreasing my emotions and thinking logically about it all. Yes, I still have questions “Was ANY of it REAL” “why the games & lies?”…etc. But WHO knows whether I would ever get a straight answer anyway. I can’t continue to want answers I may never get and may not like anyway. So I am moving on, focusing on ME & my life. I hopefully have MANY years left to meet and be HAPPY with someone who isn’t a sociopath. I am proud to say he texted me twice (generic texts at that) this weekend and I did not respond. Did not even have the desire too. They just annoyed me honestly. THANK GOD this is getting easier. Thank you so much, being able to vent so freely to someone helps a lot too. Hope you had a wonderful weekend.

ButterflyParticipantAnita,
Thank you for your response. Yes his behavior did make me crazy, anxious & sick. He doesn’t deserve me and as you said I have to move on for good. I am doing well with no contact and have deleted him from my phone. Hopefully he won’t decide to try to “re-appear” but I will ignore him if/when he does. When I do think about him I just pray. I have gotten a new job, joined a new church and Joined the gym. I am working on me and I know I will be fine in time. Thank you!

ButterflyParticipantCMI,
Thank you again form your reply. Yes, I think I will dig more into that (SS). I have written down LOTS of things I would like to say, but no I have not called or mailed it. I am sticking to NC. You are correct. Since he NEVER can really find fault in his own behavior it would probably be pointless. And even though he is not really a MEAN person, he may be “mean” and say something like well just move on then. Which wouldn’t feel good. Yes, and I DO NOT want to get sucked back in again which he is VERY good at doing with his half-hearted apologies. Yes, I do not feel like I expect a reply to a call or letter but not knowing if he heard/listened to a voicemail or read the letter would probably bother me, so you are right. Yes, as the days go by I am slowly forgetting about the need for closure. I have to live with the fact that I just may NEVER get it and even if I did it may not be the closure I WANT. Yeah My close friends and family have also suggested therapy and I just may look into that. I definitely do want to speed my healing as this pain has been horrible. I tried to create a stand alone tread on the topic but I wasn’t sure how to do it. I did post on here but I’m sad to say I don’t know where it “went.” Thank you again.
I am trying! Yes I can!!Butterfly
