Backup. That's all I am to him . I don't know if I can learn to be OK with that. I want to stay, it hurts so much but always always I am reminded

I know that feel. I couldn't do it. Too many emotions involved and being taken for granted and held in contempt sucks.

I can't do it anymore. Tonight I made the mistake of trying to contact him and got treated like a nuisance and a stalker again. We haven't spoken in 4 days and he was so upset I asked for a call. Then called me screaming he was tired why cant I call tomorrow and saying I was his "mistress of abuse" I can't call him tomorrow it will be blocked again, I know the pattern.

Yeah when they get abusive they lose all respect for us. After we've been split And they know they are hurting us and yet we stay around. They don't respect that. They may pitty is but that doesn't stop them from being abusive. It's difficult to face the reality of being split and that the part of them we loved is no longer available to is any longer.

I am physically sick. What is wrong with him? Even old exes of mine have been in touch with kind words or regards?

He knows he has you hooked. He likes knowing he has you there that he is in control of the distance yet he resents you for making him have to hurt you. At this point it's about him having control over a backup source of narcissistic supply while he runs around doing whatever he wants.

I'm sorry to hear that. I can relate to feeling physically sick with my ex. It's not fun.
It's the walking on eggshells feeling Don't be hard on yourself. Check the board to the right

Mutt: No I mean physically sick as in needing heart surgery. What kind of a person abandons you at a time like this?
Blimblam: why? What's the point of that?

A person who feels guilty and ashamed that they are more concerned that they don't get to be the victim when you are hurt. So they are mad at you for making them feel shamed and now you get to be the bad guy/ pathetic and contain their negative emotions for them to scoff at.
It's pretty twisted stuff. I'm sorry your going through this!

He's not showing empathy or sympathy. That's tough
