0:00.0	How's it going? Hello. Hello, my name is Francesca. I'm 28 years old, and I'm wondering if my ex is narcissistic and ghosted me or if I'm actually the
0:23.9	bitch who ghosted him. Okay. Well, with these types of questions, my first question is always,
0:29.8	why do you care about your ex? Well, the reason I care is because we had just started rekindling a relationship that was about a year in the making.
0:42.9	You were rekindling for a whole year?
0:45.4	No, we were rekindling for like a couple of months.
0:48.7	We had broken up in October.
0:50.5	Actually, he had broken up with me.
0:51.9	First time anyone's broken up with me, so it shell
0:54.9	shocked me and added a lot of stress and overthinking into what was going on in the relationship.
1:01.8	But the reason I care about what's going on with my ex is because we just didn't finish the
1:06.7	relationship. We just never spoke again after having a certain phone call. And it's just not in my

1:34.6	He doesn't just come to me and bring it up in a healthy way and we talk it out and then it's all good.
1:39.1	He kind of punishes me for it and I have to realize that I'm being kind of ignored or he's being shorter
1:45.0	with me, less affectionate. I have to ask and then it comes up. So that's always been a frustration.
1:50.0	Try to give me a quick example of what you mean. Like roll. Yeah. So so let's, here's an example. I
1:57.8	didn't get a plus one for a wedding last summer. We're in our 20s. When you're
2:02.9	not that close with the couple getting married, you don't want to ask them to add a plus one for some new
2:07.4	guy you're dating. So anyway, not a problem to me. When I was at the wedding, he wouldn't speak to me,
2:13.0	wouldn't answer my text. When I called him, he was like, he decided to be angry about it while I was at the
