What should I do??

Narcissist ex and I broke up almost a year ago. I was completely in love with him and without realizing he manipulated me the entire relationship. It took a lot of time to heal/suffered from PTSD for the longest time. He immediately started dating different girls right after we broke up (girls he would compare me to). He took them all home to his family (something he also did with me making me think I was special). He then broke up with them - removed them from social media/unliked their photos just like he did with me. Then re added them. He then recently looked me up on LinkedIn making sure I got the notification that he checked my profile and also unblocked me all social media. How should I behave? Just ignore it?

Block him on all social media. If you reread your own words, you will see he is a waste of time. Not even worth a second thought.

Also, this is eerily similar to my abusive ex. It's making my heart pound just reading it.

Also: mine recently did the same to me, except contacting me directly several times via email. And I'm sure dated a bunch of women like he did while we were together, and decided he wants me back a year later. Hahahaha. No.

Mine hasn’t contacted me. He has just called me with a private number several times and then hangs up. It’s just hard sometimes because I it’s a constant reminder I gave my heart to someone who used it for 4 years. I never gave him any satisfaction oh how much he hurt me when we broke up (I just blocked him from everything and never reached out to him again) but deep down it has been very traumatic for me. @caccoon

@Sensitiveheart I'm really sorry. :( I was fortunate only to be trapped with my ex for a year (and in living with him for a half a year the police had been at our place several times a month). I got out early but even then, healing is hard. I still shake even when other people argue (even if it's joking). I have crazy panic attacks over small things I don't understand. Random bouts of self-loathing and questioning myself and sanity.

I'm really sorry you've been through all of this and I hope you are able to find happiness, for yourself, and with yourself, and eventually with someone who deserves you. 💙

Also, creepy that he's calling you. If that continues, I'd contact the police. It is harrassment and you don't need that shadow of your relationship stressing you out and hanging over you. I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. :(
