Dear jenna:

Welcome back to your thread. I don’t think of your ex boyfriend, from what you shared, as a narcissist. This term has gone viral a long, long time ago and is often misused. Reads to me that he has suffered a lot in the context of the relationship with you and that you suffered as well. After all this time and suffering, and a five months break followed by about six months or resumed relationship, then another breakup, it is time “to avoid any more bad blood and hurt” on your part and his, just like you suggested yourself.

Better you don’t watch the video, nothing positive to come out of it except for the great likelihood of yet “more bad blood and hurt”. I hope you are strong enough to continue to stand by “the most mature decision for us” that you have made, the most mature indeed for you and for him.
