Now, I have been single for 29 years. Wow, hard to believe. When I was first "single", I was a mom of 2 boys, no guy ever felt I was worth hanging around for because I had kids. When they found out I had kids, the look on their faces was priceless. Later on, I guess my craziness came out, I did not do it right when I was dating or something. I tried the online dating thing and ended up dating a bunch of married guys..found out they were married months later. I guess that was stupid and naive.

So...now I am 59, too old and completely anxiety ridden. Too crazy to be in a relationship. Many times, years ago, therapists told me that it would not be a good time to start one. It was never a good time! So no love for me either!!!

Didn't mean to write a book but I do totally empathize and am sorry for your distress. It's tough if you don't meet the right decent human being that loves you.

It does sound like you are in a really toxic relationship, I cannot advise you on that too much. A lot of people might suggest couples counseling if you don't think things have gone too far.
I cannot begin to imagine how I'd be if I was stuck with my current bf for that long. Think I'd actually kill him just to be free!
I understand the kid thing. I am single with 3 boys, my bf is always throwing that in my face saying no one would want me if we break up.
Wow, I've also been through the online dating and seem to attract married men like flies. So mad at myself when I found out they were married!

I would think that after being with a narcissist for so long it must have really messed with your head. I guess that's what I have to look forward to if I don't get away from my bf.

Do you even remember how you were before your relationship? Since you were pretty young when you married him do you think he warped or changed your character /personality? How did you even get away?!
