How can I get away? Please help.
This will be a long read, but if you have any experience with a narcissist I beg you to read and help me. Please, and thank you in advance.
I’ll give you all a little back story:
A little over a year ago my fiancé and I met.
Everything was amazing, he brought me flowers on our first date, he treated me better than any guy has ever treated me!
We spent nearly everyday together after our first date, we just got along so well.
After about 2 months of dating and being basically inseparable he asked me to be his girlfriend, of course I said yes.
Fast forward 4 months, he took me on vacation. (No guy ever took me on vacation before) and when we were on vacation and relaxing in the hot tub, after a long day he told me “I don’t deserve you” which resonated with me because I felt that way towards him, and he was so great and idk why he would say that! Fast forward to when we came home from vacation and I was at his apartment with him. He left his phone unlocked while he slept, and I had never went thru it but him saying he doesn’t deserve me really bothered me and gave me a gut feeling something was up.
Sure enough, I found pictures/snaps/texts/Facebook messages from about three different girls. And the Facebook messages were of him and her planning to meet up to have sex. All of this was going on during our whole relationship.
I left his house, and he immediately called me, I blocked his number. (I’ve been cheated on in the past and that was enough for me to call it quits)
He was supposed to work that night, he called in and instead came to my work.
Then he sent me snapchats from where he asked me to be his girlfriend and of him crying.
He wouldn’t stop coming to my house, he followed me home from work. The next day he came back begging to talk to me. The day after that i opened my garage door to leave and he was parked behind me putting a huge flower arrangement in my flower pot and he wouldn’t let me leave unless I would talk to him.
I couldn’t escape him, and I eventually gave in to giving him another chance because of how persistent he was.
I forgave him.
We moved in together, we got engaged last fall. But the closer we got the worse things got. Every holiday, every day that we would have something fun that we were going to do, he’d start a fight and ruin the whole day. The worst was he took me on vacation for my birthday in January and he fought with me right when we got there and then he just kept ruining the whole trip. I was so miserable I would have rather not even gone.
Fast forward:
This past week, he went out with his friends, didn’t invite me, came home drunk as a skunk and wouldn’t stop harassing me. I was trying to make myself a late dinner and he wouldn’t stop coming at me and trying to fight with me and I was just ignoring him and he just got more mad, that’s when he put his hands on me. I wasn’t even hungry anymore because I was in shock because he had never done anything like that before. I got away from him, I quickly ate and tried to take a bath. He followed me into the bathroom and screamed at me and told me I’d never find a man as good as him and he’s all I have.
He messages my mom every time we fight, before I even do and plays the victim. He makes jabs at me whenever I have a friend over. So I just stopped having friends over. I used to go the gym. We went one time and guys were looking at me, and he yelled at me. I don’t like going to the gym alone because crime and sex trafficking is on the rise in our area. My fiancé refuses to go with me so I just stopped going, plus if I’d go alone he would get mad at me.
He dictates what I wear, if I wear something that compliments my figure he makes me change.
When we fight, which is daily, he screams, he’s so quick to anger and says hurtful things or he will calmly make jabs at me and put me down and then when I yell he becomes calm and tells me I need to get help.
He has made me hate the things I love to do, go out with friends, go get my nails done, etc now I just sit home and he goes out with friends.
I’m so drained I never want to do anything. I
can barely find motivation to go to work or do things I need to do.
It’s gotten to the point where I’ve done research, I know he’s a narcissist, but no one around me will believe me.
We did couples therapy a couple times and he just would play the victim, and then make me look like the problem.
I want to leave but I don’t know how to. All of the furniture in the house is mine, I’m on the lease, my only option at the moment is to move to my mothers house, and he knows where she lives. And I feel I won’t be safe there. I don’t know what to do. Advice. Please.
