[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was involved with someone who eventually seemed irritated by the very qualities that he was originally attracted to in me.  I finally concluded that he found the biggest, brightest, bestest tree in the woods that he could — so that he could feel better about himself by knocking it/me down.  He wanted both a trophy and a handmaiden — very different from the dynamic when our relationship began. Once I saw the light, I left.  I’m sorry that it took me so long to see what was happening — but I also understand why it did.  [/quote]
This is a great analogy. I’m glad you are free of him and hope you got your sparkle back![/quote]

That was a rough one for me to read. When I look back, I can see how my now husband of 25 years started doing this even while dating. But the love bombing in between those criticisms just left me unable to see what he was doing. I noticed a few years ago how much happier I was when traveling with just my teenage daughter and not having him around. He robbed me of a lot, and I wish I had left long ago. [/quote]
