Why is it so Difficult to Leave a Narcissistic Relationship?
Part of it is being confused as fuck and you don’t know right from wrong any longer.
This person can turn on the love, but it comes with manipulation and lies. You will want to believe the relationship is how it was.
Read that again.
The relationship will never be what it WAS.
We live in denial just as much as they do.
You promise yourself you won’t put up with any more bullshit, but you always do. You will lose your shit more times than not; then, you look like the crazy one for how you react. This is where it becomes easy to blame yourself. And many victims do. And this will keep you stuck in a never ending state of “potential.”
You stay around trying to “fix” something that can’t be fucking fixed no matter how hard you try. The lies, betrayal, I love you’s, sex, all has your trauma bonded as fuck, and it feels like your life is ending if you aren’t with this person.
Lie to me, cheat on me, manipulate me, but PLEASE DON’T LEAVE ME! I won’t “react” badly anymore; please give me another chance!
Sick fucking shit. I know.
