It’s annoying. Maybe he wants me to feel awkward but I don’t think he’s thinking that far. He just wants to keep avoiding and it affects others but he doesn’t care. It’s how he was with my needs my desire for a reciprocal partner.

Here is some more information for you. Hope it strengthens you on your journey!

Wow. Thanks for posting that link. I had read a lot on narcissists over the last few years, but that one really hit home. I could relate with virtually every one of those points. And it’s given me the confidence in the belief that I cannot change what is going on. I’ve been in a place to accept that, but that just tells me that I’m right.
I know it’s going to be a difficult path, but I’ve already emotionally distanced myself and will continue to work on severing the ties and finding myself once again.
Wish me luck! I’m rolling up my sleeves for a battle!
Again, much appreciation for sharing that link.

Congrats! You have reached a major turning point. At the same time you have my empathy that your giving ,caring, nature was taken advantage of repeatedly, for so long.

Your victory will seem short lived while you deal with the new reality that you now feel lost, defenseless, and deeply hurt.

Distancing yourself 'detachment' is so important, and finding others who will support you, desire you and relate with you as you continue to press forward.

Like so many things in life we learn from our mistakes and failures. Don't get fooled again, do not be railroaded and do not let people take advantage of your good nature.

At this stage in your healing "receiving" is long overdue.

I too ,like links like these and am happy to pass them along
