“He was having a bad day and lashed out at me. He was too stressed to keep up the act, or pretend to be kind, and dumped me a week later. When I met this man, he would text me and call me constantly. If I didn’t respond or answer, he would just keep going. He’d compliment every inch of me… even my butthole. He told me pretty much that he thought I was the one. He’d say he was going to take me and our future kids to France one day. We even debated about circumcising our said kids. He told me he was going to provide for me and that he wished I could move in with him…all within the first month of meeting.”
“I actually thought, ‘Hmm, I don’t know what love bombing is. Is this that?’ I ignored that thought because I enjoyed someone being so in love with me.
There were glimpses of him behaving in ways that didn’t align with his words, especially when he would have a bad day or I’d try to set a boundary. But the facade didn’t fully slip until that last time I saw him. He ignored me, hurt me, and showed he didn’t really care.”
