What's Wrong With Your Ex?

I found this poll over at Bitter Cup of Joe. I've been saying this for years and now it's been confirmed by a super-scientific five question web poll.

Your Ex is Narcissistic

Your ex thinks they're the most important person in the world and couldn't care less about anyone else.
Your ex definitely has a god complex.
People with narcissistic personality disorder want total power, lack empathy, and are very arrogant.
Sound at all familiar?

For those of you reading this blog, I've mentioned that my ex has been trying to contact me via phone over the past several days. He's also been leaving messages for my best friend.

I've been playing ostrich and hiding since, well, that's my way. (Yes, I know ostriches don't really do that...work with me, people!) I picked up his voice mail and it turns out he found something of mine and wants to return it. Yes, the very thing I sent him an email about last August and never received any response. Anyway, I sent him a short email with my mom's address and told him to send it there. I did not engage him in any form of discussion.

You see, after we broke up, I figured out a lot of stuff when mutual friends started telling me things. Not gossipy things, but part of stories that filled in gaps that hadn't made sense to me. (Like when he called me in the year after we parted ways, he was always in a rush, always used his cell phone, and always had to hang up quickly. Oh, turns out he's had a new bf — I now suspect from before the time that I actually left — and that he wasn't telling him about me and vice versa. Once a cheat, always a cheat.) I mean I knew he was egomaniacal when we were together. But now I realize his lack of integrity runs a whole lot deeper than I had previously suspected.
