Did A Narcissistic or Toxic Relationship Change Your Life?
Relationships of this magnitude can be exactly what we need to initiate change.
In the beginning, it ruined me. It destroyed me to the point that I would chase down a person who would cheat, lie, manipulate, choose me last, and make me a fool. But I had to have that relationship, and I had to have her!
Then something hit me. What is it? What am I chasing? She wasn’t an ideal girlfriend. I mean, she had sex with my best friend. Who does that? Better yet, who thinks they are “missing out” when they lose a person like this? It had everything to do with me and not her. She’s blatantly honest showing her disgusting self with her actions, but her words tell nothing but lies.
She didn’t consistently treat me like I mattered, but neither did I.
She didn’t treat me with respect, but neither did I.
She didn’t value what I brought into a relationship, neither did I.
She made me feel horrible about myself, so did I.
See the pattern above? I was subconsciously searching for someone to treat me…
