My ex boyfriend is more of a Lucius Malfoy, he's really manipulative

me once and actually made me believe for a second like it was my 
fault.  It's quite odd because I'm sooo not that kind of a girl.  But 
I got over it really quickly :).

Oooh, I had one of those too!  In fact he was my first husband.  He 
was Lucius to a "T" -- haughty, sneering, full of himself.  I look 
back now and don't understand why I put up with him for five minutes, 
let alone went with him for two years and then married him.  At the 
time it was devastating to be with someone who seemed to have such a 
low opinion of me.  It never occurred to me to ask (as I most 
certainly would NOW), "Well if I'm such a loser, what are YOU doing 
associating with me?  If you can do so much better, do us both a 
favor!"  Of course now I reaize that he was actually a pitiable 
person.  Having someone around that he could feel superior to was 
crucial to his self-esteem.

Hmmmm.... now that makes me wonder about Lucius!
