I say this kind of stuff to myself all of the time…. 🙁 and I usually beilive it
not you hg .. you do not love.. the ex’s saying all these things.. being abusive..
And you continue to love them even when they verbal abuse you ?
But I never did love them, not in the way you understand love.
It’s verbal abuse . And that is okay with you ?
The end justifies the means as I have often explained.
Use it against them too .. but that would be giving them their supply . So criticism is best . Lots lots and lots of criticism. Then ignore them .
8,14,17&20 he said about his son, I got off lightly I just got number 3.
How many of these have you said? How many did Mum say to you growing up?
All of them. 4 of them.
This is to cry. 😢😢 None of this sentences have been said to me except #3. Thanks God 🙏🏻🙏🏻. That would destroy me on the spot. 15,17,18 😭😭😭 OMG
That would be too direct, It would not take me long to leave when hearing that list 😢😢.,. How sad …
I did #3 by design to get that reaction to piss him off! 🙂
How did he react?
You did it on purpose??? Why on earth do you want to piss off somebody… I dont get it… 😨
I really still struggle to be on time somewhere, but I have improved alot. I can say now I am punctual but I had to learn it and it takes efforts.. I did it 😃
Punctuality is the politeness of kings.
Hi HG
yes i know now. Its also a european mentality 😃… I had to learn and I did 😃💋
Absolutely Nikita.
It’s fashionable to be late. Think I’d be late for my own funeral ha ha.
In the early days and to be honest in general im not bothered personally about being a few mins late but later in our relationship When my ex narc was late I eould made a point of making a big thing about it. I would also practice what you preach. In my head I was saying here have some of your own medicine.
You are a king 💓💓❤️
Indeed I am.
His reaction was what I expected HG, pretended it was OK but the eyes gave said it all, a quiet, simmering rage 🙂
Yes, nikitalondon I did and would do it again to a person who did a hell of a lot worse to me. Punctuality and politeness are reserved for those that deserve it.
I see….
#5, my mother LOVES to tell me I look fat/dumpy/farty in whatever I have on, and/or that my hair & skin look bad.
