If he couldn't stop lying and cheating for women he professed to love, he wasn't going to do it for me. He's never going to not be this way.

I've made peace with the fact that nothing was real; everything was a lie, and pretty much everything out of his mouth is a lie. I was ego supply for him, and that is it. It's not my fault, it says nothing about who I am, it just is what it is. And he's no longer my problem to have to deal with. It must suck for him to have to deal with the tornado in his head every single day of his life, and the complete void where his heart should be. I understand that total, life-sucking loneliness that is an un-checked, cluster B personality disorder, especially since ours fit together like two ugly interlocking hands. I kind of feel sorry for him. Just not too sorry.

Sorry for hijacking your thread. Back to regular programming.
No worries -- these are really important statements and realizations for you on your own path of healing and recovery. You've made amazing progress -- and that is what this thread is about anyways -- saying goodbye to toxicity and toxic relationships.

You've pinpointed that he is not stable and has a personality disorder that makes him the way he is -- similar to my ex being mentally unhealthy (but also generally a low life to begin with). I came to the same realization about him as well and realized that it's not me, it's him. I was taking things far too personally -- thinking what did I do to deserve this kind of treatment??? I was nothing but good to him, too good in fact.

But alas, my ex is severely disturbed, and now I know that there was nothing I could have done & I am wiping my hands clean of the whole thing.
