I don't understand your post. Why would I keep him as a friend? He's an abusive narcissist, so there is no hope for him or us and there is no hope for changes or improvement. I have faced that reality. I cannot be friends who someone who treated me SO badly with such disrespect and disregard, or with someone who cheated on me. I have a LOT of self respect and that is just degrading. And how can I be friends with someone I cannot forgive? That makes no sense. He was never a good man. He fooled me, and I fed right into the deception.
