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.
Here's to good progress.

I do still cry. But it's mostly me saying, "Why couldn't you have been the person I thought you were? Why couldn't you have been just bipolar like everyone thinks you are?" It's difficult mourning the death of a person who is very much alive.

There are some tiny indications that he has heard a therapist mention "NPD" to him before. And some tiny indications that he hates being how he is, which would be weird. Then again, I don't know. Don't care.
