I thought what did I do wrk g why wasn't I enough for him to be with me, but that's how manipulated he's made you. sadly you have to untangle the emotional mess he has left you. it's horrible, it hits your self esteem, I don't know what's real and what's no. what was a lie what was genuine , like you lost your identity in the process ... but I can tell you that you should just assume everything was a lie and I hope you talk to a therapist and get medication. that's what I had to do, even during the process I was so angry, very angry that and depressed that it consumed me, bc I though how could I be like this, taking medication while he's out there living his life with someone knew... but the therapy , talking to someone objective little by little chipped away all that manipulation, anger, loneliness... it happened to me again by with a hug who had drug problems and here I am in my 2nd round ... what I've learned even though I'm still currently depressed is don't bend your standards with men, the first sign of trouble bail , trust your gut instinct bc u don't want to go through this agai . I'm so sorry this terrible jerk did this to you , no one deserves to be treated like that. there's selfish people out there, we need to learn to identify them and stay away.

Omg! U nailed it. I'm feeling the ExACT same way!! U mentioned narcissist and my therapist feels he is a sociopath. I spoke with my therapist yesterday and i explained to her that i could have good intentions for my day like deciding to get up and go shopping and all of a sudden i'll just get angry it could be anything from a long line to someone staring at me and i"ll just get angry and go home. She asked the million dollar question..."do u think u are depressed"? I said YES. She recommended i talk to my dr about an anti depressant. These liars come into our lives and seem to ruin it. Lies from day one. Since he's been gone i've found out so much!!! i think about what i found out about his past relationships fathering 2 kids elsewhere while he was married. I think he used his ex wife badly credit and money wise. I should be thankful he's gone and stopped calling me but i feel ruined as if he's gonna change for the next woman but this is a 46 year old man. If using and lying to women has been his operation then why would he change for her. Along with myself im sure he's had other women who were good people but he ruined them!!!
