Have you (in retrospect) ever been the bad guy/girl in a relationship? What happened?

Yeah, my ex was really good at emotionally abusing me and then made me look crazy when I would stand up for myself. She was hands down a narcissist to a T who constantly berated me, compulsively lied to me, and cheated on me so many times. She stressed me out so much I started drinking and it got even worse. So when she would do these things I would drink up my emotions and then yell at her to the point she would be terrified of me. And that made me look even worse in the end, and it was the main reason why it ended. I was practically shunned by most of our mutual friends.

It taught me that I won’t gain anything from stooping lower than her level of low. It literally justified all of the shitty things she did BEFORE I snapped. I should’ve just walked away after the first red flag instead of putting up with the same things for 3 years

It’s been a year and my friends are starting to see what’s wrong with her and hang out with me more instead
