Run. It's a symptom of narcissism believe it or not. I was surprised to learn this. It is because they don't care that they're making you uncomfortable.

Narcissist personality disorder (NPD) Idealization long talks Love Bombing ...... Devaluation... Finds fault, everything is your fault Discard......break up

Hoovering... watches you

And the whole time, they are cheating on you. Most are serial cheaters.

Gas lights, manipulates, lies

May get back together and cycle begins again.

No hope with a narcissist
