OK, he never used the word sociopath, but he described the behaviour perfectly. It fits perfectly with the descriptions you can read anywhere.
The site may be a bit off with the idea that he can`t be cured, I thought that was a bit premature, but you do need to know what you`re dealing with here so you can gauge his mind effectively.
His apology isn`t a normal apology, he will use it as a chance to win your approval back. It`s just about him getting you to accept him back into your heart so he can play games with you and break it all over again.
There are lots of treatments out there and I am confident he can be helped to live a normal life, but right now he`s just going to keep hurting and dissappointing people until they stop supporting the behaviour.
I honestly doubt he is with OW having a pleasant time. He doens`t know how... he is setting her up to get hurt, that`s all he knows how to do. She`s a fool for supporting his behaviour.
He is likley formulating what to say to you for starters. As you pointed out yourself, he was a blatant coward. I really don`t know how he can run damage control on that phone call... he is gonna need time to come up with somthing really good. He is also likley figuring you will be easier to deal with when you have cooled off for a few days.
This phone call and your reactions to it just show you how ridiculous being around him and his nonsense really is. You are HEALTHIER NOT being involved in that. Now you got the call and got sucked back into that lifestyle and you are hurting all over again. Trust me you are better off NOT being with him right now. He`s a coward and OW will not be able to deal with that long term anymore than you can... she will have LESS Patience than YOU for it... she``s got less maturity and impatience comes right along with that.
She will get sick of his lies eventually if she hasn`t already... its just a matter of time.
