So I'd ask you this, Are you setting him up for failure (see the 'no win' way^^^)
to confirm your fears about him, so you can avoid risking too much?
Yes Yes Yes.
In fact this hasn't changed - it was there before and he left. And it's here again, and I know I need to change it. Even if my therapist thinks he a narcissist, my friends and family don't like him now, etc. etc. If I can show up differently in the R, maybe he can too.
Other relationships ended badly - done. No more talking. Etc.
Currently with family IDK just much better boundaries, distance, not relying on them - all is "well" there.
