Sociopaths, and even garden-variety narcissists, tend to be very charming at first. But they'll make you miserable by eroding your self-confidence, making you doubt your own judgment, and manipulating you into revolving around them. Eventually, they'll become emotionally abusive.


Some variation of that will be your future, if you stay with this guy.


Capiche?
Si si, capisco

Ruth4Truth, have to admit I laughed a bit when I read your comment...thank you. yes he is a PSYCHO and he is doing such a good job to hide this fact from everyone...and I will be a psycho too if I stick with him.

and...HOW COME YOU KNOW! I did not spend toooo much time on being with him but I had already felt miserable/lost my confidence/change my own judgements on certain issues/felt being controlled by him

(I even had to explain to him why I wanted to wash my hands when I was in his place)!

he told me that most of his relationships last no more than 1 or 2 years because he has such a harsh personality.

Players are the ones that will tell you what you want to here.

They act till they get what they want then the Prince Charming outfit falls off and you are like, “What?!?”

when I was with him, he had the control over everything. I was always very careful and afraid that he would get mad or something...not that he got angry that easily but when he lost his patience, he looked scary.

I will contact him later this month.

This is just plain black and white. The OP should find somebody else.

yes...like I said, this Mr.Perfect image has been existing in my head for a long time...I know I have to change that, but it is hard.

Many of us have been in your position. Think of it like having a cold that you have to get through, but that you WILL get through. Think some disgusting phrase when you think of him: "ugh, what a little creep", something like that. And keep thinking it when you start to think of him. It may take a couple of months, but you will get over this person, who is in fact not a good human being and not worth your time. Fraulein, you're so much better a person than this man. I can tell from the way you think. You DO deserve so much better. He's a bit of pigeon poop on the edge of your shoe. Remember that.
Thank you Hallouise, your suggestion is very good...yes, this is a bad cold. I just feel frustrated that I have spent so much time on him...I thought I was smarter than that. Now I will just picture him as an annoying bad guy with irritating habits...he is such a playboy. he is hypercritical. he doesnt change his bed sheet. he got tons of rules when it comes to wash hands or use soemthing in his place. One day I found that he did not take a shower and straight went to bed too. and...I love what you said. yeah, he is just a pigeon poop!

Yes, he always told me, "idk why but I can talk so much when I am with you. I am so curious about you. You are very cute. you're so special. I never told anyone about xxxx but I can just tell you without hesitation"...etc

I am glad that I did not sleep with him.

You're right. You hopefully won't meet someone like this in the future. You'll meet someone better.

As good as he looked "on paper," it's an illusion. He's not who he appears to be to the outside world. He's a control freak and not kind. He sounds like a bit of a narcissist. He also apparently is willing to cheat in a relationship.

Consider yourself lucky that you realized what kind of person he is after ONLY a few months.

No. Do NOT contact him. He sounds like my Ex and I still have nightmares about him when I'm stressed even though we divorced 21 years ago and he died 8 years ago (of alcohol abuse). If you're turning someone's inability to control his temper into YOUR problem (it's called "walking on eggshells" so you don't trigger his anger) that's a huge red flag.
