All I wanted in my life was someone special. That’s what I was waiting for, and I felt that with you. I didn’t know how to express it. I took it for granted. I thought I could replace you, but I can’t. I waited a very long time to meet you, and you were everything I wanted.

We’re both human, and I deeply care more than I ever wanted to admit—because I was scared my love wouldn’t be returned. That’s why I got so nasty. I felt abandoned. I don’t hate you. I hate myself. I pushed you away because I didn’t want to be hurt.

I’m going to drop a letter off or mail once I’m ready. I’m going to return a few things too. I want to make things right. I’m truly sorry.

My dearest,
I’ve been carrying this for a while now, and I need to put it into words properly, without rushing or holding anything back. I’m sorry. I’m truly, deeply sorry for the rough time I put you through at the end—for the ways I hurt you, for the night at your house when I crossed a boundary and then caused a scene, and for every moment my fear made everything heavier than it needed to be. I need you to know I would never have hurt you physically. That night came from a place of panic I still haven’t fully resolved: my old, unfinished fears of abandonment. I threw up a guard instead of staying open, and in doing so I made things worse. I am apologetic for all of it. You never deserved the weight I brought into that space.

When you began to pull away, it scared me in a way I didn’t know how to name at the time. It made me afraid to be myself—afraid that the quieter, softer, more honest parts of who I am would no longer be welcome. I started holding back, second-guessing, protecting myself in ways that only widened the distance between us. What I wanted more than anything was for us to feel like we were coming home to each other again, the way we did in the beginning. I missed that feeling so much it ached. I kept reaching for the version of us where everything felt natural and mutual, where being together was the place we both belonged.

I also wanted communication to be our strong suit. I really did. I wanted us to be able to talk through the hard things, to stay honest even when it was uncomfortable, to keep finding our way back to each other with words. But toward the end I felt us growing apart, and that silence hurt in a different way. I didn’t know how to close the gap without making it wider, and I regret that more than I can easily say.

There is something about the way you looked at me that no one else ever has. In the basement, when you would sit in my lap and stare deep into my eyes, back and forth, it felt like you were seeing all the way through me—past every defense, every insecurity, every half-hidden fear—and still choosing to stay. That look made me feel known in a way I have never felt with anyone else. It was the closest thing to coming home I have ever experienced. Part of my deepest fear, if I’m honest, was whether you felt that same rare connection with me, or if I was the only one carrying it so heavily.

I’m including a photo with this letter—a screenshot of a text I sent my coworker three years ago, after I quit working there trying to get your number. I wanted you to see it. Even then, long before we ever really knew each other, something in me was already reaching for you. It feels important that you know how long this has lived in me. The whole reason I started working at that pizza place again was to see you—after I had quit for over a year and a half. That was never just about the job.

I still carry the specific moments that proved that home was real. I remember the day our connection locked into place when you found my tire lug nut with the help of a few deer, and then the long drive through Shenandoah while Vivaldi’s Four Seasons—Autumn—played. I felt like I was inside a living painting with you. Those memories still live in me as proof that something rare and true existed between us.

This week an older woman in a store stopped me and said, “You have beautiful eyes. I’m sure you get that all the time.” I answered, “It’s been a while since I’ve heard that, but thank you.” The truth is you were the last person who told me that, and hearing it again hit me harder than I expected. It brought everything back at once.

I was cleaning my car and found the little note you left that simply said “Miss you already.” I sat in the parking lot at work and cried, I had no idea when you left it. That note undid me. In the weeks after everything fell apart I burned most of our early memorabilia—the vegetable slice receipt, the two-dollar bill, the little post-it with hearts on it—because I was so deeply hurt. But I kept the small white paper-towel piece that still has my footprint on it. It stays next to the crystal you returned to me. Those two things remain.

From my side I have deleted more than 9,800 messages from the fallout we had. They are gone permanently; I couldn’t recover them even if I wanted to. I wanted a clean slate, at least on my end. I have to forgive you. I hope, in time, you can do the same. We had so many great times together—always. My biggest fear was that our relationship was just a little fling while you figured out your own issues. It never felt that way to me.

I’ve begun the hard work of confronting my shadow—the parts of myself I spent years denying, repressing, or projecting onto the people I loved most. Carl Jung calls this the first essential stage of individuation: the long, often painful process of becoming more whole by finally facing what we’ve kept in the dark. I’m only at the beginning, taking those first real steps so I can stop repeating the same patterns and show up with greater honesty and responsibility. This is not an excuse. It is simply the truth of where I am now.

There is a metaphor that keeps returning to me. My parents used to tell me I had to jump off that cliff into the water. I was always too scared. I finally jumped for you. In the beginning I was swimming. Then I started to drown, and all I wanted was for you to throw me a life preserver. Instead you stood on the shore and told me I was controlling while I went under. I was lost. I was lonely. I was only asking you to help me find direction.

You are a famous dancer. I just make pizza. That difference lived in the back of my mind more than I ever said out loud. I never wanted to feel like I had to prove myself to you. I only wanted to love you as I was, and I did try my best. I hope you know that. I hope you know I never stopped trying to be worthy of the way you looked at me, even when I was failing.

I genuinely believed—and still believe—you are my soulmate. Even if we were twin flames or some kind of soul partners who came into each other’s lives to teach hard lessons and force real growth, I thought I had finally found the one person who could help me unlock the wasted potential of my whole life. That belief has not left me. So thank you for that. I hope I had even a fraction of a similar impact on you—that something in our time together helped you see yourself more clearly too.
I just want us both to grow. I know that if you don’t face your own vulnerabilities and shadows, the same patterns will keep following you the way mine have followed me. That’s part of why I think we were twin flames or soul partners in the first place: we mirrored each other’s unfinished places so clearly. The only way either of us gets free is by doing the work ourselves.

I will always love you. I have come to realize I don’t have to be with you in order to love you. We are all human; we all make mistakes. I still feel a strange, confusing connection to you, and I don’t know whether you feel it too. Whatever happens, I want peace between us. That is all.

I have unblocked you, but I will stay silent. The ball is completely in your court if you ever want to reach out. I will respect your space. I will never show up at your house or do anything to bother or unsettle you. I simply want the air between us to be clean.

I’ve also been thinking about the pain you carry with your mother—the deep resentment, the anger, the ways she failed you and left lasting wounds, including the darkest thoughts that came with that hurt. I know you loved your dad, and I understand that part of that love was shaped by what your mom was and how she treated you. Right now you are still living under the same roof with her, and that window will not stay open forever. You’ll probably be leaving soon. Her time is limited as well. If there is any possibility of looking at what remains unresolved between you—of facing that particular shadow while you still share a home and while she is still here—I believe it could offer you a measure of healing that waiting might close off forever. I’m not saying this to pressure you or to minimize anything she did. I’m saying it because I’ve seen how carrying unexamined rage and unfinished business can keep a person stuck, and because I care about the weight you’ve been holding. Even a small step toward resolution while the opportunity is still in front of you might free something in you that nothing else can.

I don’t pretend to know how that process should look for you, or whether it even feels possible right now. It is your journey. I only know that the work of facing these shadows—mine, yours, the ones we inherit and the ones we create—seems to be the only real path toward any lasting peace. I’m trying to walk that path myself, however clumsily. I hope that in time it helps me become someone more capable of the love, presence, and steadiness you deserved all along—someone who can meet another person without fear of being himself, and who can offer the kind of home we once found in each other.

If we do reconnect someday, I honestly don’t know what to expect. I don’t even fully know what I want right now. I just needed to let you know all of this—the regret, the memories, the love that remains, the work I’m trying to do on myself, and the peace I hope can exist between us no matter what happens next.

Thank you for everything you gave me, even when I couldn’t fully receive or return it. I’m sorry for the pain I caused. I’m sorry for the ways I let fear and old patterns get in the way of what we had. I’m working on myself. And I will keep working, for as long as it takes.
With love, regret, and genuine care that has not gone away,

For a long time the relationship felt like a dreamworld. Something always felt off, a quiet splinter in the mind I couldn’t name. I kept living inside it anyway, because the narcissism simulation was convincing at first.

Once in a while her mask would slip. The Agent would step forward. You learn quickly that no one beats an Agent in an argument.

Those early weeks, were amazing. Met my soulmate!We called each other puzzle pieces. I nicknamed her Angel.

After a long stretch of reflection after it ended

I saw that everything had been inverted.
Where did my angel go ?
All I was left with was a demon,
she literally would give me a little crooked smile .
That soulmate I met with beautiful green eyes in the beginning slowly vanished,
as her mask slowly slipping
to reveal coal jet black eyes.
Soulmate to Soulless .

She never loved me. She abused me because she had been abused as a child. I knew her dynamic with her mother: the professional dancer, the pageant girl, the cheerleader, the only child. “My mother is always right,” she told me. She hated her mother so intensely she wanted her dead—yet she kept returning to care for her. She went back to her abuser.

Everything she accused me of doing wrong in the relationship was a projection of what she herself was doing. She used to say I was hot and cold, that we were on a roller coaster. That was exactly the ride she put me on the entire time. The person I met at the beginning just vanished one day.

There was a day I woke up, stood in the kitchen, and simply stared at her. “Who are you again?” I asked myself. For the last seven months I had been looking for the woman from the beginning. Who was this stranger in my house with the empty eyes and the bored expression? We had nothing in common anymore.

Why continue?

Trinity’s quote literally became mine intuition:

“Because I have been down there. I know that road leads. I know exactly where it ends. And I know that’s not where I want to be.”

That was the moment I took the red pill. The dreamworld collapsed.

She was blindsided at the end. Locked inside her own story, Yet I had seen through everything. The shadow she carried—unresolved childhood abuse—shaped everything. She lived inside a altar timeline in which she was the smartest person in the room, permanently owed something by the world, and unable to forgive anyone: me, herself, her mother, or the past, no accountability, no empathy…

I will stand by my moral compass. I forgive her, but I will never trust her or listen to her again. That was her dreamworld, not mine. I know she will never change. I am glad I finally understood I had been chasing a dream. I forgive her because I know she was abused and never dealt with it. That unresolved shadow is what she carried everywhere. She never imagined I would figure it out.

The ironic conclusion is this: I was the victim, not her. But I refuse to remain one. I will forgive, learn from my mistakes, and hold myself accountable.

At the end of the relationship I felt like Neo after the awakening. I could see the patterns in the code. I could stop her bullets. I could fly again.

“Let me tell you why you’re here. You know something. What you know you can’t explain, but you feel it. You felt it your entire relationship with a narcissist. There’s something wrong with the relationship. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I’m talking about?”

Who was this stranger in my house with the empty eyes and the bored expression? We had nothing in common anymore.

Why continue?

Trinity’s quote literally became mine intuition:

“Because I have been down there. I know that road leads. I know exactly where it ends. And I know that’s not where I want to be.”

That was the moment I took the red pill. The dreamworld collapsed.

She was blindsided at the end. Locked inside her own story, Yet I had seen through everything. The shadow she carried—unresolved childhood abuse—shaped everything. She lived inside a altar timeline in which she was the smartest person in the room, permanently owed something by the world, and unable to forgive anyone: me, herself, her mother, or the past.

I will stand by my moral compass. I forgive her, but I will never trust her or listen to her again. That was her dreamworld, not mine. I know she will never change. I am glad I finally understood I had been chasing a dream. I forgive her because I know she was abused and never dealt with it. That unresolved shadow is what she carried everywhere. She never imagined I would figure it out.

The ironic conclusion is this: I was the victim, not her. But I refuse to remain one. I will forgive, learn from my mistakes, and hold myself accountable.

At the end of the relationship I felt like Neo after the awakening. I could see the patterns in the code. I could stop her bullets. I could fly again.

“Let me tell you why you’re here. You know something. What you know you can’t explain, but you feel it. You felt it your entire relationship with a narcissist. There’s something wrong with the relationship. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I’m talking about?”

Being in a narcissist relationship I felt like Neo in matrix leavening a dreamworld were I know somethings always felt off I wanna know how deep the rabbit hole goes and that's when I finally woke up and left.

Once in a while, the mask slips, the agent comes out and you better run because no one‘s beating the agent in an argument.

Getting out of this relationship after a lot of reflecting, I realized everything was reversed of what really happened. She never loved me. She abused me because she was abused as a child. I know her dynamic with her mother. She was a professional dancer, the pageant girl cheerleader, only child . Her mother was always right she told me . She hated her mother so much. She wanted her to die and yet she had to take care of her. She went back to her abuser.

Everything she claimed as something I did wrong in the relationship.

It's just a projection of what she did.
She used to tell me I was hot and cold and that we're on a roller coaster and that was exactly what she was doing to me the whole time. That person I met in the beginning disappearing. In the beginning, we used to call each other puzzle pieces and ironically, she never thought I would put the puzzle together on my own about her. Oh, and go figure my nickname I came up with was Angel the irony it’s inverse is demon.

Back to the movie, the matrix, the whole reason the matrix itself exist in the movie franchise as as a form of control to keep you in a dreamworld as the AI/robots of the movie turn you into a battery drain your energy.

There was one day I woke up and just stared right at her standing in the kitchen just straight asking myself “who are you again?My Last seven months with her asking where that person went from the beginning ? who is this here now?

“why his eyes hurt”
“because he never used them before “

For a long time the relationship felt like a dreamworld. Something always felt off, a quiet splinter in the mind I couldn’t name. I kept living inside it anyway, because the narcissism simulation was convincing at first.

Once in a while her mask would slip. The Agent would step forward. You learn quickly that no one beats an Agent in an argument.

Those early weeks, were amazing. Met my soulmate!We called each other puzzle pieces. I nicknamed her Angel.

After a long stretch of reflection after it ended

I saw that everything had been inverted.
Where did my angel go ?
All I was left with was a demon,
she literally would give me a little crooked smile .
That soulmate I met with beautiful green eyes in the beginning slowly vanished,
as her mask slowly slipping
to reveal coal jet black eyes.
Soulmate to Soulless .

She never loved me. She abused me because she had been abused as a child. I knew her dynamic with her mother: the professional dancer, the pageant girl, the cheerleader, the only child. “My mother is always right,” she told me.

Lucifer incarnated
The False Light-Bearer in Relationships
A narcissist often enters a relationship the way Lucifer is said to have appeared: as radiant, charming, almost divine light. In the beginning they shine. They mirror your deepest longings, praise you as special, and make you feel chosen — the classic
"love-bomb." This is the false morning star: dazzling, elevated, full of promise. You are drawn in because the light feels real.
Behind the brilliance sits the same ancient pride: the desire to be seen as a god. Not merely loved, but worshipped. The partner's admiration, dependence, and eventual submission become the throne. Any equality threatens that status, so the narcissist must remain the central, superior figure.

Once the partner is securely attached, the corruption begins — and here the metaphor turns darkly precise. Just as the serpent's greatest satisfaction came from leading humanity into the Fall, many narcissists experience a quiet, private joy in watching the other person diminish. They erode confidence, rewrite reality, provoke insecurity, and then offer themselves as the only remaining source of validation. The partner's confusion, self-doubt, or gradual moral/emotional compromise is not an accidental side-effect; for some, it is the proof of power. The light that once elevated now blinds and disorients. The "god" has successfully brought another being down to a lower place while remaining above them.
In the end the pattern repeats the cosmic drama in miniature: an exalted figure who cannot tolerate equality, who uses borrowed radiance to attract, and who finds a perverse fulfillment in the corruption and fall of the one who trusted the light.

Before I figured out what narcissism was, and that's really, what drove the wild behavior of our relationship I would've missed her. This whole experience has made me more spiritual. My view of my ex is almost a succubus now.I swear she looked evil so many times and I kind of let it slide the way she would hold and tilt her head. She gave me these crooked little smiles. That was my intuition, warning me. I still feel unclean and I made some type of deal with a demon for pleasure for pain.

Before I knew what was really going on and it was narcissism behind her actions I would've really missed her. I really thought we were in love but now I realize she' empty shell it was all a lie. It was just funny to watch her personality shift through our relationship. I don't think she really actually had any hobbies. Just take other peoples for a short period. By the end when I was really repulse by her presence, I don't know what shifted, but she just disgusted me. But I'm happy. I'm not influenced by her ever again. Every comment you made to me it was a lie.
So I couldn't ignore whatever she said. I don't have to miss her ever and if anything, I'm disgusted. Feels nice to be myself again no guilt just freedom.

There's a sense of calm once it's done you never experienced while you were with them. Mine always made me feel uneasy because I never knew what was coming. They don't like peace or being happy because they're incapable of it feeling it so they want to drain yours. That's all this relationship was just draining me. tell you sleeping now has been never more peaceful.
Just sitting in a room with zero worries is zen. I don't have to worry about what I'm doing. I get to just do.

If you think about it, a narcissist will never stop lying so they will never know the truth therefore, they can't face their own fears. If you wanna be with one you're gonna be in a false reality. And you'll never know what's real cause they'll never stop lying. I just want someone real so, easy choice to leave....

That's exactly why you'll never win an argument with them they deny reality. You'll never be able to defend yourself ever if they can say always you're wrong.
Anyone in a narcissist relationship knows how much time wasted debating those people get you nowhere.

Before I figured out what narcissism was, and that’s really, what drove the wild behavior of our relationship I would’ve missed her. This whole experience has made me more spiritual. My view of my ex is almost a succubus now. I swear she looked evil so many times and I kind of let it slide the way she would hold and tilt her head. She gave me these crooked little smiles. That was my intuition, warning me. I still feel unclean and I made some type of deal with a demon for pleasure and sacrifice.

Before I knew what was really going on and it was narcissism behind her actions I would’ve really missed her. I really thought we were in love but now I realize she’s empty shell it was all a lie. It was just funny to watch her personality shift through our relationship. I don’t think she really actually had any hobbies. Just take other peoples for a short period. By the end when I was really repulse by her presence, I don’t know what shifted, but she just disgusted me. But I’m happy. I’m not influenced by her ever again. Every comment you made to me it was a lie. So I couldn’t ignore whatever she said. I don’t have to miss her ever and if anything, I’m disgusted. Feels nice to be myself again no guilt just freedom.

Was extremely happy I was able to pull this off.

So she wanted to keep everything I gave her because she’s so entitled to it and I wasn’t gonna stand for that and I had to show her. I do have the power and I’m gonna use it on you whether you like it or not.

So I threatened her that I was going to report her for driving without a license to a parole officer. If she did not return the items she kept it took a few days to get her to actually come through

The look on her face of pure defeat distain sadness was worth $1 million to me. Being able to confront her and make her do something it’s such a great humiliation to get to use on her for what she did to me.

It was very difficult before I realized what narcissism was the real factor in the relationship that made it so confusing. Now I feel like I have clarity on everything. I don’t have to have any guilt cause none of it was actually real to begin with. I feel very unclean I think of my ex is a succubus. She used to give me a little crooked smiles id felt she was so evil looking. I should’ve listened to that intuition a little sooner.

Truth will set you free means so much now

"Your question of what happened?"
Eureka!
An actual answer, came to me today.
And it's ironically,
It's a question that you asked me the very beginning of our relationship…..
This question ...
Had stood out in my memory...
And today, I know why..
The question you asked me?
You asked me if I was a narcissist.
You were the first person to ever ask me that...
It really caught me off guard at the moment...
And now I know why...
You were the actual narcissist,
because it describes everything l've experience being in a relationship with you, spot on, perfectly, sorry cupcake.
I now really understand your behavior... to the letter T

My last message was

Now I think on it don't regret any of that mean shit I had said the other day I wished I had a copy of it was so funny and hard style, rocks back in the dryer again boys!
I just love bomb back.
to get my shit
I still feel like I got the last laugh
getting you to return that stuff
yesterday was definitely a satisfying conclusion.
I wish I took a picture of the pure distain and defeat your look on your face

Never contact me again!! Please and thanks

Nine months finally Free!!

I was able to have my stuff returned with using a threat and love bombing. It felt good to use their tactics against them and have them return my stuff they felt so entitled to keep and I wasn't gonna stand for it. Feel good to take my power back because I realized I had the power the whole time I'm releasing. It was my rebirth.

I didn't know it narcissism was until I went through it. It took me a while to even realize was even happening and it really is a mind game but now I know it was all fake.

It is really a hard thing to process, she used to give me crooked little smiles. Once in a while. It just looked like pure evil. Now I realize I was sleeping with a succubus.

I still feel unclean, not broken, but coming back to terms of reality feels so freeing. It’s weird the reverse psychology you’ve been exposed too. Like realizing she is to tell me, I was inconsistent, lying, disappearing, and broken promises. But I’m actually consistent truthful, reliable, and I keep my promises. It was some strange mirror whole time.

I am healing. I'm returning to the self. I am light, she was shadow.
