underpants Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 I think this is a term used to describe the buzzing in your head following a relationship with an ...unstable, or irrational person, or perhaps someone who may have yet to be diagnosed. Although, close family members are. I guess being many months away from this relationship. I can look back and see that myself and others within his close proximity may have caught some 'fleas'. I thank goodness that I did keep my own close friends and did confide in them, they would look at me funny when I would say some of the bizarre things that happened, or cruel things he said. Then again though, I myself rationalized them away, as I was involved and had to make sense of it somehow. Friends of his always had this...damaged look to them. Some of them warned me as best they could. It just seems clearer now that I am out of it, how many people...even his very few 'closest' friends kept him at a distance. When he would walk away sometimes I would see them just shake their head. I know I was confused for a long time following, and lets face it, during our relationship. I guess the fog has lifted, the fleas are nearly all but gone. With a clear head I can see that this may have clearly been a case of "It's just you, not me". Some people are just too broken to handle without getting cut yourself and that is no good.
polywog Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 I hear you, I've certainly had that happen with both yucky friendships with damaged people and a crazy bf or two:( . Congrats on finally riddingyourself of the leftover vermin, and make sure to flea-bomb your home .
Author underpants Posted February 22, 2007 Author Posted February 22, 2007 Thanks Poly, I know I dodged a bullet. I just hate that thoughts of him and his cruelty, and his continuing arrogance still surface more then I would like. Urgh, how to cope? How to turn off that switch for good?
