Great thread!

Mine was from another country with a different language and when he found out I wrote poetry, he read me his supposed poetry in his language. I now really believe that what I heard was from a master poet, because even in another language you could hear it was incredible, the rhyming, the rhythm, I was blown away. Lol. :D

Another time he told me he had first aid and he had gotten to the point where he could give injections, when I said he should put that on his resume-he was working as an engineer, he said " I don't need help to find work" in a haughty voice. Which wasn't true.

Oh and apparently he had written a novel when he was younger (he's only 26 now) Between the heroin and the voices in his head, that must've been quite a feat!

It feels good to laugh at him instead of the other way around. :)

You would laugh at all the things my N said he accomplished....

I wrote it all down once, and then looked at it in amazement.

I realized that I had fallen for major BS. I still wonder HOW could I have been that naive, and dum....I don't know who's more of an idiot; him or me, but at least I can laugh at the absurdity of it all, while he's still living in the land of make-believe. I should write a book! (like HE has! <wink>)

Lol, me too. Really I can't BELIEVE I bought all the crap he told me.
It's like I was in a state of psychosis. :shock:

And right, exactly, at least we can laugh about it now, while they are still stuck there.

I pointed out that Egypt was in Africa. I mentioned that his girlfriend didn't look Middle Eastern OR black. I laughed hysterically."

Lol!! :D
I've really enjoyed reading everyone's replies.

Pretty asked:

In what ways did your N exhibit grandiosity?

Where do I start----

1. I have FOP (Fraternal Order of Police) license plate tags. He would ride around and tell people that he worked for the police dept. and was a cop. (my employer)

2. He acted as if he could fix and put together anything. The times when he wasn't able to complete the project, something had to be wrong with the directions

3. He once told me that people call him all the time (because he's so important)

4. He's bragged to me about how he dated a psychatrist. (short-lived, if true, because he was with someone else shortly after he made that statement)

5. Feels as though he's the best at everything he does

6. Acts as if he's so damn smart yet barely finished school with a GED. I went on to obtain my B.A. and he'd challenge my intelligence constantly only to be proven wrong via dictionary, internet, etc.

Calls = supply

Mine said that all the time too!! LOVED getting calls!!!

Haha--I always wondered why he got so mad if I put him on hold, didn't answer or told him I had to call him back! (too important for that!)

Come to think of it, he had to call ME back almost every time I called him....guess it's a "control" thing.

what freaks.
