I am of the strong belief that people who are abusive are all narcissists- because normal people don’t deliberately manipulate everyone they know and cause turmoil, pain and tear down the person they supposedly love. However, I am not professionally qualified to make such a diagnosis- this opinion comes from my own personal experience and subsequent research on the topic.
Either way, the words in this meme ring true to me. I moved from my ex numerous times (and stupidly took them back after being relentlessly worn down over weeks), I ended the relationship numerous times while still living together. On these occasions my ex would constantly come into the bedroom to “talk”, repeatedly saying things like “tell me what you want”, “just let me know and I’ll leave you alone”. I would repeatedly say I didn’t want to be together anymore but it would fall on deaf ears.
Statistics suggest it takes a person 7 attempts/leaving an abusive partner 7 times before leaving for the final time- this type of behaviour pattern would be part of the reason why. For me, it was exactly 7 times.
How long did it take for you to leave and what made things different the final time?
If you are still with an abusive partner, have you tried to leave? How many times? What keeps you going back?
