It’s all about a game of perception and control, managing how others see him. He has to make sure she stays with him, builds that relationship, and manages everyone else’s expectations. He might present himself as having found the love of his life after an abusive relationship, selling a version of himself to the world. But the problem is, he’s lying to himself because he hasn’t changed.
If you’re struggling with why he seems better with someone else, remember: he won’t magically walk into another relationship and become better. If you believe that, you’re naive. You’re buying into his lie, and you’re feeling not good enough.
To break free from this, you need to mentally reframe and rewire your beliefs. Otherwise, you’ll be trapped in a fantasy, a fiction that doesn’t lead to liberation or healing.
