How to deal with a breakup from a narcissistic

Sherrin

Hi Ladies

After a long back and forth relationship with a guy I met a few years ago, I finally had enough and asked him to clarify our relationship. It got ugly and he left.

I realize now I was dealing with a narcissistic person because he had alot of signs (I didn't realize the cycle until now) and the behaviours I have read matched with him, like on point.

I believe I am in the "discard" phase. Although he blocked me (first time for him), he has a habit of reappearing after a period of time. He reappears saying he misses me and pretends nothing has happened like he never left. The lovebombing starts, everything is nice, he gets what he wants, then it goes downhill when I ask for what I want (more time to build our relationship), argument starts then the discard.

I don't want him back...but my instincts says he will return. Last time he used his friend number to contact me because I blocked him. I regret allowing him back this last time.

I feel abit wierd because I don't feel angry or sad, we rarely spend time together because he was "busy" so I don't feel attached to the relationship. I know I will get over it quickly, sadly I feel a wall put up now because I don't trust meeting another man, at least for now.

I am proud to have stood up to him.

Does anyone have any experience on this? How do you rid them forever from your life? I would appreciate some insight, thank you.
