That’s all we need to know. It took me forever to comprehend and accept that. It’s just so hard for non-narcs to wrap our minds around. I’m out 4 years from a 5-year off-the-charts-intense addiction/engagement/almost marriage, in middle age no less, and am a shell of my former self. But I’m breathing, which I wouldn’t be if we were still together. He harrassed me with the full scale of hoovering for 3 years after I ended it, including before and after I obtained a protection order. I ignored him completely as if he were dead (my fervent desire), and it took him that long to figure out that *one* female on the planet acutally doesn’t want him. Shocker! — though of course it’s certainly nothing he did! “Women are crazy.” Zero capacity to self-reflect and learn. He’s been silent for a little over a year. He finally gets that it’s over. Your website and columns have enabled me to hang on to the tiny bit of sanity I have left. Words can’t express my gratitude.
