Member-only story
What happens when you go crawling back to a narcissistic relationship?
It won’t feel quite right. You will have an uneasy feeling of being “used,” yet again.
You will shake those feelings off as nothing and really work on NOT having emotions or feelings. All while you offer support to them.
You will continually bite your tongue, and it doesn’t take long for them to start showing their true colors once again.
When they contact you, sad, down and almost broken you will begin to feel sorry for the person. You will believe maybe, just maybe they have changed and they do care. That they do need your love. That the last guy they left you for was no one, that they finally see it.
Just as quickly as they turned it on, they turn it off.
They tell you:
- They don’t need your help.
- You have a big ego
- You’re manipulative
- Everything isn’t always about you.
All you want from them is to feel like you matter! That all the vulnerability they showed wasn’t manipulation, it was real genuine feelings.
Then reality hits you yet again.
You had a need, or an emotion. You bring it to their attention on what you need.
They bring it to your attention, they don’t give a fuck! Just like they didn’t before they came crying back.
