Can not tolerate him anymore! So why can't I let go!?

[whatdreamsmaycome]

He's so egotistical, full of himself, narcissistic, trying to get me to compliment him all the time, and he can successfully do it with his manipulation! I will tell myself, don't respond to his texts, he is just trying to get you to feed his ego... and then when I go back and read the texts, I realized he did it! He got me to say something nice about him! Who does that? He constantly fishes... ugh... and his dramatic moments, all those FAKE dramatic pauses, yuk. He gets "choked up" when telling certain stories in front of an audience, yet he told me those same stories and not a SINGLE TEAR WAS SHED those times.

 

I don't know how I got back in his clutches... but I can't stand him, and I have to see him at work... and he got me to say yes to hanging out with him Sunday night??? I don't want to. I can't stand him. Why won't he just disappear?

You like him, but if he's a narcissist I don't know how you tolerate him. I would implement NC, or in your case LC because you work with him. That is the best medicine because to a narcissist, ignoring him is his worst nightmare. Im in a similar situation where I am breaking up with my bf, but have caught myself giving him breadcrumbs which is unfair, but I can't help it.
