Eureka

Today I am thankful that I KNOW why I keep running away from the man I was seeing.
 
I don't trust him any more. 
 
- I don't trust that he won't threaten me.  He does.  He plays games with me.  He threatens to report me to Facebook for innocent posts (even when I've blocked him). 
 
This has caused me to stop posting to Facebook.  The lack of Facebook posting is harming my job search. 
 
- I don't trust that I can take my time and enjoy intimacy without him either complaining about my technique or telling everyone he knows.
 
This has caused me to hold back. The over sharing about his feelings has already cost me at least one professional relationship.  


He literally runs to Facebook with everything.  It's upsetting.


Worse, his mother called me a Wiccan.  How does she know? 

I'm not Wiccan.  I'm Pagan.  It's not the same thing!
 
- I  don't trust him not to pitch a fit if I don't spend every Friday night and Saturday morning with him.  It has cost me one job....one. 
 
I don't know that I want to carve out that time anymore.  If I want to rebuild my life, I'm going to need to do stuff for myself on the weekends. 


*****
 
I am debating cutting him lose so he can find someone else.
 
- He wants a woman who knows what she wants and goes for it. 
 
Right now....I want to clean up my world, get organized, so that I can pounce when the right opportunities come along. 
 
I'm not sure if I want to write about what he did that sent me packing. 
 
He claims I can talk to him about anything...but in reality, I can't.  He wants to control the atmosphere.  That means, I can't talk about heavy things. 
 
So.....I have to solve problems on my own.
 
I don't think he'd listen to me if I told him.
 
I don't know....
 
I think there is some wisdom in being alone until you rebuild your life. 
 
This is probably what I need to do. 
 
It's going to hurt but I don't think I can tolerate it.   The games drive me nuts.  The games make us incompatible. 


I'm not myself around him. 


Maybe that's it.  Maybe I need to find someone so uncritical that I can actually be the playful person that I truly am. 




****
One of the problems with breaking up is that I don't want my ex-husband to think he won.  He has forbidden me to see this guy.  If I break up, it's because I don't want to be dominated.  It will have nothing to do with my ex's complaints about him.


I feel happier when I think I can be free from the complaining.   Maybe the best way to do that is to break up. 


I'm still processing it.


There are plenty of women in the world.  I'm sure any man can find another.
 
 
Love ya,

Stalker Proxy Phone Calls

What kind of songs do narcissistic stalkers sing?  I imagine they sing songs like this.   I am grateful now that I understand why the stalker has people call  but   wish they'd listen when I ask them not to call again.  I probably should document this somewhere.  My ex was talking to an old friend of mine from high school on a daily basis.  She is his cousin.   I had to quit talking to her when she'd ask me to plan parties and then refuse to give me the guest list saying that the attendees would only be me, her, my stalker Shannon, and my NPD mother-in-law.   She wanted me to plan interventions.   This happened with a baby shower.  It also happened with a wedding.  The in-laws put together a fake wedding trying to host an intervention to shame me and my ex into doing things for them (like quit school and give them my car).   I had to cut this so-called friend off over that in 2004....

Recognizing Psychological Abuse

Today I am thankful that I recognize relationship abuse.   I'm still sad. I thought Steve would be different.  For all the talk about anarchy and freedom, it simply didn't exist in our relationship.  I blamed the fact that I couldn't get my ex-husband to move on.  I blamed myself. It doesn't matter.  It is weird having my ex-husband explain to me how he took control of our relationship years ago.  Yes, he says that he knows what he did.  Yes, he said most men know the games they play.  Yes, most men do it for control. That is validating.  It's painful.  It's validating.  I know what my problems are.  I always do my best to see the best in other people.  I know that no one is perfect and that everyone makes mistakes.  My issue?  Well, I am too forgiving and I feel badly when I break up with someone for hurting me.  I couldn't take it anymore.  I couldn't.  I'm st...

Covid (Edited)

Today I am thankful for unorganized conspiracies: It makes it easier to identify them. Politicians are going to label anyone calling bullshit on the Covid lockdowns a Conspiracy Theorist.   I have a saying; " Conspiracies happen all the time; it's only a theory until it's proven."  This one is easy to prove.  It's obvious that the powers that be threw a lot of shit at a wall to see what would stick.  They're trying to inundate us with useless information and financial pressure to wear us down. That doesn't work on the indominable American spirit. ***** Let's work backwards. The CDC is now lumping flu, pneumonia and Covid19 deaths in one number.  Get this....the numbers have been declining for the past 11 weeks! https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/covid-data/covidview/index.html We are now below pandemic levels. Tell me why Governor Polis and his merry band of naked Democrat Emperors are pushing masks and pushing more lo...
