Love does not die a natural death. Love has to be killed, either by neglect or narcissism….

I hesitated in the doorway, unsure. “of course not” my voice an octave higher with utter surprise. You see, 1 month prior to this I was asked by my narcissistic partner of 4 years, to set up another contract with our broadband provider. This was because the contract ended in June but we where not moving house until September. I did in fact call my broadband provider but I did not set up a contract , I asked for a roll- over until we move house. Today started off to be what of a good day, into the worst day by far. “Don’t worry about it , I will call and resolve it”. he smirked at the sound of my shocked tone and then sighed. “Why do you have to be so stupid, you bring nothing to this life but bills and stupidity. You will see what I will to you , just watch” he reaches for his phone and smiles, “I have plenty of back ups sweetheart, I want you to transfer me your wage this month immediately so that I can move house and you can go to the street or else …” my heart sank, I knew what this meant. He was going to either cheat on me again as a punishment for setting up a contract (that I never set up) or he was going to take my money so I couldn’t have freedom. I replied “ok look, I didn’t set up a contract but I will transfer you my money “ deep down I knew the only way I could escape any form of severe punishment would be to send that wage. I plead with him ,” please don’t cheat on me again , I promise I didn’t set it up. I love you very much” he continues to smile at his phone, his fingers typing quicker by the second. He responds with a sly look in his eye, “ leave the house , go for a walk I have to make some private phone calls”……
