A male Botswana age 51-59, *DP writes:

Hello everybody. I have since realised that Im a confused man.I discovered this in my present relationship. I have been in this relationship for nearly four years now. I have read a lot on relationships, manipulation, deception, personality disorders.My relationship has been one hell of a ride, two good years and two bad years.For the past two years I have been trying to find out what is wrong with this woman I love.This woman has cheated on me.This woman has abused me emotionally.I have taken personal loans to appease her. I have done everything in my powers to make this relationship to work.From what I have been reading it seems as if she has narcsisst behaviour mind you Im not a pro so maybe I shouldnt judge her as that.

I come from a good background I should say.My parents did a lot for me growing up. But I should also say that they were very strict.Even today I am still scared to do something wrong that might be to them.Parents will always be parents but I think what they used to say to me has affected me a lot, similar to what a narcissist would in operation.But I do love my parents.As a matter of fact Im living with them cause Im in debt that I made in my relationship and Im 37 years old.

In my previous relationship I had a daughter who whose mum also seems to display narcissist behaviour.When I think about mt daughter I shed tears thinking what Im I going to do for her, she is 8 years old.

In all this time I have been trying to find out what is wrong with other people? What can I do to help them? What is wrong with this and that? BUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME.This has never crossed my mind.I think I need help.

Thank you for reading. Please advice.
