I’m really sorry he said that to you, I totally would feel the exact same way. You are better than me because I would have immediately confronted him and not let it go until he made multiple extravaga…

Plot twist: he started planning a huge extravagant wedding and expecting his girlfriend to pay for it all
Sorry, OP. Narcs do it so much it has a name: future faking. They make promises for the future to get something out of you in the present. That something might be praise, narcissistic supply, attentio…
