I Am In Support of Transgender and Genderqueer People

I've told several stories about the relationship between me and my boyfriend. Might I add, he finished it yesterday. And I mentioned about how controlling he had become, so out of the blue. Just like the multiple gifts he kept buying me, expensive ones too. It had me thinking, is he showing care?, love?, devotion?...but as strange as these gifts all were, and giving them out at such random times, on front of people too..I kind of thought he was trying to lock me into something, trying to bribe me. He finished it yesterday over something political. Which I will be completely honest, as I sat there confused?..He was firing all these political beliefs at me, and all the things he described as red flags and warning signs. How it started was..he thought I had certain views, because I joined a political group, not for the sake of anything deeply political...they had actually came to me to perform my own creative work at an LGBTQ Event, And from there on in..all my contributions have strictly been for the LGBTQ, and for inclusiveness. But he wanted me to change that, to leave that, and as part of the relationship, he also wanted me to shut other people out, delete people. And it made me very anxious when people spoke to me alongside him. When he gave me the two options, leave the place were I contribute for the LGBTQ, and delete contacts. He said he woukd get back after a few days once I make up my mind. But it was taking over my mind, so I phoned him..and said "I can't change who I am...try loving me for who I am, a person who is all inclusive, and yes I do have multiple contacts...because I'm all inclusive....try open mindedness xx...So he left me, saying I was causing him stress, causing him to slack at work, and lose weight, and destroy his mental health...but he was trying to use this as some sort of blackmail, to make me feel guilty...guilty for being me...and not changing for him, he thought love, is changing for him...love is love....so he came round, got his things, and left all emotional, much more emotional and upset than I was...but its self inflicted xx

PLEASE look into covert \ overt narcissism - his behavior reeks of it. Love bombing, idealization, devaluation, and discard - a trauma cycle that plays on repeat.

It is all about control and isolation and his own deep self loathing.

You're beautiful, be beautiful without him. Being with a narcissist is like being in a cult, and it can be addictive in a weird, messed up way.
