There's a name for it! Narcissistic Abuse.

Somehow I stumbled on this diagnosis and have been reading more and more about it, and its equally fucked up sibling Borderline Personality Disorder.

I wish I had known about this sooner, I wouldn't have thought it was just run of the mill eccentricities that had gotten out of control. The good news is that shit tons of people have gone through this and nearly all of them say nearly the exact same thing as me, RE: their SOs. There's also a lot of info about recovery and a few great subreddits.

The biggest thing I've realized is at first I was still in the trap of thinking about "living well being the best revenge" and then I realized that way of thinking is still framing my life in terms of her. I'm now getting better each day at not including her, mentally, in any calculations I make about my life. Feeling better.

Thanks to you all over the years, you're the best imaginary friends a guy could imagine.
