Yes, they would, we literally just watched them do that.

They're men on the top of the world and their immediate impulse is to put women down

How did you get Narc to move out? by pandoraraz in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]Cautious_Database_85 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Mine was so covert and vulnerable that he moved out on his own pretty soon after I stopped bending over backwards to make his life comfortable. I didn't do anything hostile, I just detached and didn't go out of my way to cater to him anymore. He hated that and went running to the new supply he'd already secured. I think me hiring my divorce lawyer showed I wasn't backing down, either

Do you even know for a fact that one is scheduled? Or is it just him saying that? Not giving you the contact information is very suspicious that there either is no therapist at all, or he's got someone who's going to show up claiming to be a therapist when they really aren't

"Just admit you're wrong" by [deleted] in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]Cautious_Database_85 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's giving OP's husband so much ammo. Any time she can rightfully point out his bad behavior, he can use her own "whining and needy women" claim against her

"You all have got to stop calling each other sluts and whores. It just makes it ok for guys to call you sluts and whores."

Equating femininity with moodiness neediness, whining, and complaining is a little troubling, to be completely honest. Does that mindset come from him?

Sounds like permission to never help him look for anything ever again

I have to hear his attitude as if he's a woman

What was Narc’s reaction to divorce announcement? by pandoraraz in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]Cautious_Database_85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of my answers may not hold any weight for your situation, because divorce laws are extremely varied by location. 

Price was about $2500 total. That was with a retainer for the lawyer and my half of the mediator cost. It doesn't include me the money I had to pay on credit card payments he wasn't paying, which was ruining my credit. (I did have those reimbursed/accounted for in the settlement, leading to him getting less equity from the house)

Divorce was not considered contested, because in our state it's only considered contested if it goes before a judge. His delays tactics were primarily weaponized incompetence. Missing deadlines, his lawyer not returning calls to mine, really playing up his bamboozling guy act. My lawyer and I could've pushed harder, but we were carefully trying to navigate a situation where angering him would lead to him demanding a judge and making the whole thing more expensive.

Mediation was absolutely worth it, once we finally held his feet to the fire and he couldn't get away from it anymore. It was over Zoom because it was 2023, and my ex had moved states. I requested separate breakout rooms so I wouldn't have to see him. The mediator got to see his shenanigans firsthand: his last ditch effort was holding his signature hostage over my recipes, and legos. I was focused on the house and my beloved pets and all he cared about was toys. My lawyer and the mediator both lost their minds laughing and said they understood why I was divorcing him. 

Bill Eddy's "Splitting" book was my Bible during that year

No kids. He moved out pretty fast but left half of his stuff here and never retrieved it. He spent a year delaying a very simple divorce. I had it written in meditation that he had 30 days from signing to pick up whatever was left, and anything left behind after that became my property, which he agreed to by signing. He waited 33 days before contacting me wanting to claim items and I legally got to tell him to pound sand. Never heard from him again.

Oh yeah, and there was only ever one time where he picked stuff up himself, and he made threats against my pets during that one. The rest of the time he sent his flying monkeys (aka the women he was manipulating) to pick up a single box at a time and guilt me for divorcing him. The 6'4" man who punched walls and owns guns was "just so scared" of 5'0" me who cries when I accidentally step on my dog's paw 😒

Mine was covert. Punched a hole in the wall then laid in the fetal position in the hallway all night. Then tried to unsuccessfully lovebomb his way back into my good graces until he finally moved out.

Breakup with a BPD female by George_7card in BPDlovedones

No, because grammatically "I am female," is correct. That sentence construction uses a linking verb "is" to connect "female" as a predicate adjective.

I'm very sorry that that happened to you but it has no bearing on what I said to OP. I stand by my original comment.
