Living with a monster
General Support / by LucyDW

...See more I am currently in a long-term relationship but have been unhappy for more than half of it. My partner doesn't seem to care at all about being supportive or meeting my needs. I have read all the books, did all the research, had many frustrating conversations. He refuses to go to counseling. I've given up and now I just want out. It feels like it's been a slow death of sorts, and I spent years blaming myself, letting my health and self-esteem fail. I've prayed and cried a million tears. But slowly I am starting to realize that maybe it isn't me, that this selfish, unpredictable man is really just an expert manipulator. A narcissist. The truth is devastating that I may have wasted so many years and so much love. I don't want to live with someone who mocks my pain and can sit callously by watching me suffer. Who just doesn't care. I love you means nothing when backed by actions that only contradict. Trying to find the courage and support to leave safely. Thanks to everyone here for listening. 😘
