Hey
I understand what you mean... it was quite comforting to know that other women have experienced her ‘disappearing’ act. Wasn't just me... .
I suppose you like to think you’re different though... and treated better than the others.
I actually found comfort in being just the same as the others... .A massive red flag for me was "you are my soul mate" within the first month at the same time she had a photo with her ex on her pictures on Facebook with him saying "aren't we a happy family"... .That suggested to me I wasn't the only soul mate. In fact I was one of nine previous soul mates. But my ex was very good at crazy making. Making me question everything about myself, about my sanity and concept of self. She used to say things like "you don't even know who you really are"... .
Anyway the ex said to me "dude she will make you question everything about yourself. Go from one extreme to the other"... .And it was soo comforting to know that he had had the exact same!
