Why would someone give you all sorts of encouragement and then when they are done playing take it all back piece by piece as they break away.

Just wondering if anyone else has had that happen.moping

Ok, did we not just have a "psycho" truck driver discussion?
Did you not just help me through the same thing?
Ok, he was so "proud" of me, being a single mother and always taking care of my kids. Complimenting me daily on what a wonderful mother I was. Then when he got into his "psycho" mode, I was just a "breeder".

I could give you a break down of my faults according to her.


I'm lazy. (She used to tell me how wonderful it was to have a man that worked)(I also worked 16 hr days 6 days a week to pay the bills)

I have no ambition. (I won't say why I know this aint true but it aint)

I was the worst thing that ever happened to her.

I'm gonna stop here...very mad

Simple answer: Because this world is made up of givers and takers and the takers know that, sometimes, the givers have to be "bolstered up" a little in order for the taker to extract the full measure.

It's not fair, but it is true. And one more truth: In the end, there isn't a damn thing us givers can do about it... Except to keep giving in hopes that eventually we will find the one who gives back with equal or greater sincerity and passion... comfort

I believe people who do that are trying to make themselves feel better...it starts because they themselves have low self esteem.

the people we love know where our soft spots are, therefore when they want they can build us up make us more confident by supporting those weaknesses. the otherside of the coin is that when they want they can also sink their teeth right into those soft spots, gutting us.

Ks - good post.

True.

These types take so much they leave the other person empty.

Also, it makes them feel bigger.

~ Zombies of Darkness ~

~~~

There are those who build soulcastles on the beaches life
knowing full well that the tides of time will wash them away
Perhaps they believe that these castles are fleeting fantasies
and that the souls they are built from will wash back into the sea unharmed
ready to be used again for another stranger's whimsical dream

Perhaps these uncaring creatures view life as a playground
and see other people as merely toys to be used for their own amusement
Perhaps they sadly believe that they too are merely being used in this charade
Could it be that they merely lack faith in anything meaningful?
Could it be that they are zombies who have lost touch with their very own spirits?

How are such monsters created?
are they dredged up from the scum of society
and incubated in torrid vats of rejected emotions?

Surely there must be an explanation
for why these people have come to behave the way they do
for why they can't see the lunacy of their own deceitful infidelities
for why they continue to grope in the darkness of their ignorance

The light of truth is shining brightly on their spirits
they merely need to open their hearts to experience the wondrous luminosity of love
yet they continue to shut it out
stifling the slightest rays of hope that might enter their self-destructive world
desperately clinging to the obscurity of their abandoned self
they reject any promise of love including their very own self-esteem

~~~

You stopped being the person she thought you were, or wanted you to be, or thought you could or would be.

She decided she doesn't want to be with you anymore because you are not the same person you were when you met, back in the beginning when everything was lovely and new.

My ex still does this constantly. I will never understand it. But now I try to talk to him on how this affects his children when he does this. It goes in one ear and out the other. Sometimes he will apologize but within the next few days he repeats the cycle again. I sometimes wonder if it's because he really doesn't see it or if he really doesn't feel no pain...Don't know!
