The Breakup

Even the breakup was bizarre. I remember having a conversation with him and he said "you are always there for me" and I was silent for a moment and then I said "well I would like the same in return" and he responded saying "oh don't start". After that I did not hear from him in a week (and I did not call him either) which was good for me because I really reflected and decided I had enough and made the decision to break up with him. There was nothing he could say, my mind was made up. So I decided to do it if/when he called again.

So he calls a week later and said pitifully "oh I just want to apologize, and hope you can forgive me and that we could still be friends"....WTF???? he said this before I could even breakup with him. I was planning on breaking up with him anyway, so he saved me the trouble, but it was just so bizarre because our last "conversation" was not a breakup or even a hint of it.

Emmpathy from the girl who found out he has SEVEN other women at least (those are just the ones that called his saggy, cancerous, 53-year-old ass between midnight and 7am) and then dumped me because I found out. How dare I? "Don't start" was classic with him, but his favorite was, "I'm not going to do this with you." Meaning what, I'd ask? Answer to anyone but the god who lives in your pants?

Yes

Mine always said "don't start" too. But, just like yours, his favorite was "I'm not going to do this with you". Grrrr. Just reading those words brings back those feelings. They were said to me so often. I swear if another man EVER says those words to me again I will inflict serious bodily damage. The god who lives in your pants-loved that!

They are truly from another

They are truly from another planet. After the breakup, he called me a few weeks later sounding all "friendly and refreshed" I was not buying any of it. And although at this point I did not know he was an N, I knew that he wanted me "back". The convo went like this: The usual greeting how are you? blah blah blah N - Do you miss me? Me - Honestly, no I feel indifferent N - oh well thanks for being honesty N - Are you dating someone? Me - My sister in law is trying to set me up with a guy who expressed interest in me, there is some potential (not really but wanted to show that I have moved on). N - Well Im not dating anyone either. Me - Uh ok N - Well maybe one day I can come over and spend the night, I will even sleep on the couch Me - Uh no that would not be appropriate. I did not even know he was an N at that point but I was thinking to myself now all of a sudden he wants to talk to me and be friendly when before I begged for him to communicate with me and he would ignore me constantly among other crappy behavior. Finding out he is an N explained so much.

Breaking up

My ex NArc and I had plans to move out of state together but after he left and I sent him a too kind letter, asking why the relationship was always about him and what of my wants, needs, as well, that actions speak louder than words, etc, then he got real nasty,did not call to discuss the letter, asked me why i didn't call him and that was that, left hanging in the wind, after 15 long years. Did not want me to visit him, whereas a few months earlier he could not wait to see me.They HAVE to abandon you first, he even told me as much one time, they cannot let you do it to them, if at all possible.I really hope they all get mental breakdowns because that is the only hope for them, to get rid of their false selves and be reparented by a well trsined therapist..

You're right

I am sorry that happened to you owml, it's hard for me to comprehend that level of selfishness; I have always been a kindhearted, giving person. For fathers day I purchased N a portrait package for he and his children, he has quite a few I won't say how many, lol, I purchased the clothing, shoes, props and all for the shoot. It was a costly venture, when the pix came back, I delivered to him. I asked for one, he says he couldn't give me one he needed to give them to his family and friends, I was floored. In order to have one I had to go and order my own, more money, by the time I did get them I didn't want them, I gave them to him as well. I did have one of him alone, I tore it up and tossed it in the trash, lol. They do have break downs but it has to be something drastic to get them into a therapeutic setting and even then the prospect of any improvement is slim to none. I just look at N and all of the energy he exerts in the simplest of task, it wears me out just watching him,they are "wired" ssa sdrawkcab (ass backwards) lol. They are perpetually SOS=Stuck On Stupid, the only person we will ever know that would go to the Wizard of Oz and need courage, heart and a brain, lions, tigers & a N oh my.....run.

Abandoning them

When I left New Mexico, I didn't tell anyone. I didn't even tell the professors whom I TRUSTED because I think the ex-Psych would've gotten dangerous if he knew I was leaving. He had known about me being in the teacher education program (which he sabotaged)... but I didn't give my address or phone number. I'm sure it went over well when I sent some nice cards from Oregon to all of my professors.... except him. The D&D was very public and vicious (yes, he hoovered me after I met his fiancee)... but I topped it with my disappearing act. That's how I treated the professor who'd say "Don't hang up on me!"

"They HAVE to abandon you

"They HAVE to abandon you first." You got that absolutely right. It's all about control to them. To this day, I suspect that it annoys the snot out of my xnh, that HE came back to D&D that night (while wanting to stay at the same time). However, it was ME that filed the divorce papers the next day, and went through with it. I was simply done with his b.s. His telling me that he didn't love me was the final straw. It was OVER. My xnh is so conflicted and wanting to control everything that well after the divorce was final, I had generously allowed him to take a plastic shed from the backyard to which he legally had no right (I owned my house well BEFORE I knew nxh). I had told him to come get it at a time when I knew I wouldn't be home so I didn't have to deal with him. He then SITS on my property waiting for me until I finally arrived home so that he could tear into me because I had changed the locks on my house. I GAVE him a shed to be nice, and HE's pissed because the house keys (that he'd refused to return to me) no longer fit the locks? His comment was, "You must think I'm a real A$$hole. Why did you change your locks? I wanted to go inside to get a drink." WTF?? We're legally divorced, for crying out loud. He doesn't LIVE there. I just looked at him and said, "It's my property. I can do whatever I want. Obviously you tried to use MY old house keys to get into somewhere that you weren't supposed to go." Then I walked into the house and locked the door behind me. He stood around by his truck for a while and then finally left. Hopefully the mosquitoes ate him alive while he stood there. As a matter of fact, I DO think he's a real a$$hole. The funny part to all of this is that the NEXT morning his walks into my office, and slams the worthless house keys onto my desk. I guess he really told ME off by returning my keys...finally, huh? rofl.

for mystwoman

love your story about the housekeys, they think they are SO important and how anyone dare cross them in any shape of from. I?t is like when i wrote a letter a month or so ago to my EXN mentioning maybe he might want to revisit his relationship with his mother as a young boy growing up, than perhaps he revisted that on the 5 significant women in his life,something to ponder, what I got back could open the gates to HELL, all the vile names, whore, slut, offering free sex on the internet, first come, first served, in my desperate and depraved condition, all his exact words, did he once mention my suggestion or say anything about it ,not on your life, just deflected all his crap back to me as he usually does, what a sick man!!

"I don't like it when you talk that way"

After the D&D, I told the ex-P he had been acting like a jerk. His response? A prissy "I don't like it when you talk that way." So I ended up substituting "bully" for "jerk" to mollify his oh-so-sensitive sensibilities. This was the SAME guy who'd call me a slut whenever I wore a dress... and it's not like I dressed in lingerie a la Madonna. He also called me depraved and shallow. After the D&D, he was the one accusing me of having a "low opinion" of him, of not taking him "seriously", and of not "respecting" him. He KNOWS I was the one who treated him respectfully. He'd whine "you have no respect for me","I can't believe you had such a low opinion of me." I wanted him to take accountability for his actions... even if it drove him nuts. Especially if it drove him nuts. Better him than me. He was the one who was positively paranoid that I was somehow mocking him behind his back and laughing at him. He was AFRAID that I wasn't taking him seriously. Sheesh... it makes me want to send an anonymous postcard saying "I know what you really are. I am here, laughing at you. I am laughing very hard."

They know

They know when it's coming, they anticipate it all of the time because they know their "actions" or "lack of" ends most of their relationships if you can call them that. They do it before you in order to avoid an Njury, it's maddening. It's maddening like...no closure, never an apology, never being at fault...ugh, on and on, so sorry because it leaves you "spinnin" and wanting to lure them back in so you can do initiate the break-up, best wishes.

Yes, he probably did know it

Yes, he probably did know it was coming based on our last conversation. Looking back, I realized that I pretty much was giving him the vibe for a couple of weeks that I have had enough, was not even excited to talk to him or anything anymore. Well he said "oh don't start" in response to my wants/needs for the relationship it was the last straw. Also, during the week that he did not call I guess he figured I was finished, because I did not once call or text him during that time, and normally I would try to reach out usually with him ignoring me or being real cold/short with me.

Your breakup sounds as

Your breakup sounds as bizarre as mine. My xnh came home from a trip to see his mommy (and as I found out later, hang out with the OW). When he walked in the front door, he tells me, "I don't want to do this anymore (meaning be married to me). I don't love you." I said, "Then you need to leave. I refuse to live with someone that doesn't love me." He then says, "So how long can I stay?" WTH??? I told him, "You have until you pack your duffel bag. 15 minutes tops. I'm not living with you after you've dumped me." He supposedly pulled this type of crap with his first ex-wife. She let him stay for two months in her house after he dumped her. Not only that, but SHE slept on the couch and he took the bed while he was there. A$$shole. A few days later, I get an email from xnh that says, "I need to talk to you about 'house access' so that I can have somewhere to hang out." My response was "EXCUSE ME!?!? Which part of you dumped me and I told you get out, don't you understand? I don't really CARE where you hang out. Do it at the Motel 8 or in your car...whatever." He then says, "Well I want to still be friends, and go to the Rush concert with you next week." What a conflicted, self-centered jerk! Talk about wanting their cake and to eat, too. These narcs are unreal.

The first time we broke up

The first time we broke up we had just had sex .. well he rolled me over in my sleep and did the deed (it was a beautiful moment lol)He then said "i dont love you , i think we should break up and then was suprised that i didnt want to spend the rest of the day with him ... WTF .. When i think of all the times we broke up and that was 6 in total they where always when he had done or said something so horrible i got so mad that i tryed to show my anger and put a boundry up and he would end the relationship . The last time we broke up and it was me really doing the breaking up that time although i didnt really feel like it was me but i had decided to go nc because this board told me to and i was ready to listern , so i was not aswering his calls , he turns up at my mums house and texts me saying "im out side youre mums house sorry for being a dick " .. i stupidly aswered because the last thing i wanted was my mum involved and he knew that , so i went to get him and i brought him back to my house where he tryed to hug me , he senced my hostility and procceded to dump me ... what a pile of pants .I have to remember it was me going no contact that caused this , i was the one to end it , i am the one who refused to see him when he hovered , i ended it but i still feel like i have been dumped ... how do they do it ? how can they twist reality so we feel discarded when we discarded them .. its a mystery .
