I met my ex when I was out in a jazz venue. He was very good looking and charming.
It was a whirlwind romance and he was soon eating meals at my house regularly.
I first realised something was wrong when he became very angry with me for not telling him of a past relationship. He also would isolate me from others and not include me in parties and other gatherings.
His behaviour included regular “putdowns”, I could never do anything right. I would be accused of lying frequently and he would accuse me of being out at places I was not. There was a mind game attached to everything.
He would shun me when we were out with others in public – he was always angry with me for something. I was the wrong religion and I was told off for doing my yoga and meditation.

This is incredibly important to understand. So few people realise that there is more than one type of domestic violence, and it can escalate very quickly. https://themelodramaticconf...
sounds like a toxic and highly destructive relationship between an empath and a narcissist
