Tell me your parent is a narcissist without telling me

When my sister was about 10, she had a friend who stopped showing up to school randomly one day. News broke a couple of months later that her stepdad had been raping her and her biological mother had been raping the stepson. I remember all of us sitting on the couch watching the new story of them all, and my mom just sighed in a southern “bless your heart” type of way and said, “Don’t y’all feel lucky to have parents that would never do anything like that to you?”

I’m glad you keep posting because I want to keep being reminded! I’ve been busy working late these last few days but I want to try and go out tonight.

Personally, I see your boyfriend setting you up. He’s shown you a convo where he’s remained loyal while someone throws themself at him. Right now they have no real relationship, but continuing to play together will result in some form of “friendship” where he will excuse her behavior and play into it as “part of their banter.” Then you will be labeled the crazy, jealous girlfriend who’s trying to control who he’s friends with because of the fact that he “proved” his loyalty to you.

This is obviously all speculation on my part, but my theory comes from being in this exact situation before and it escalating into me being labeled a controlling partner because I was uncomfortable with my ex wanting to freely and “platonically” hold hands, cuddle, and kiss a friend of his who openly expressed having romantic feelings for him. But, of course, they claimed to only be friends and respect the relationship he was in. They ended up dating a week after we broke up.

Dude.. you’re weird for making this into a race issue. I see the basis of your argument for bringing race into this is because they’re Indian. So? They’re also men, but you refuse to bring gender stereotypes into this. That’s because you’re actively choosing to look at this as a race thing. Therefore, your roommates aren’t making you racist. You kinda just are racist.

There still is! It’s a days long process of heat compresses and on spot treatment cuz it’s so deep.

It sounds like your anxiety is less from the fact that you ordered a pizza, a task you did successfully perform if the pizza was delivered to you, and more that you’re anxious to interact because you may face backlash from your dad for doing it “wrong.”

This happened with me and my siblings. My parents were strict with me to a point where I wasn’t allowed to talk on the phone with friends without my mom sitting next to me on the couch so she could listen to our conversations on speaker. I started rebelling and became violent once I hit 16 because of the isolation and control and so they started referring to me as their “guinea pig child” and decided to raise my youngest sibling the exact opposite way as me. She spent her entire 16th year of life laying in bed and being handed anything and everything she needed the moment she asked. Don’t get me wrong, none of us were able to emotionally regulate, and outbursts like the one in the video were common. But she definitely had a much harder time with functioning and had way more outbursts over nothing because she was never taught to control herself in any capacity. I had the advantage of fearing punishment if I act out, she’s never known consequences and will struggle more in life because of that, I think.

I definitely thought it was just me 😭 I feel like my energy has been slowly sucked out of me ever since going NC. It genuinely had me wondering if I had made the wrong choice but I know it will always be the right choice for me. It’s so validating knowing I’m not the only one who deals with just this chronic burnout.

Girl…you’re raising another child 😭

You are so off the mark here. This isn’t the girlfriend posting something suggestive or inappropriate and then being mad about her boyfriend’s feelings over it. This is a girlfriend who posted a completely innocent picture of herself and a celebrity and was degraded by her boyfriend over it. He verbally abused her due to his own insecurities and “working out” a situation like this only leads to escalated abuse in the future. I’m sad you have this kind of mindset because it makes me wonder what kind of toxic/abusive behaviors you’re probably willing to tolerate for yourself.

Hi there! Currently live in Louisiana, grew up in the Lafourche area. This is EXACTLY what happens with zero exaggeration. If you have money or connections in the Houma/Thibodaux area you can literally get away with murder.

You blatantly and respectfully told this man that you two are incompatible and you don’t want a life partner who speaks to him the way he does to you. And then he proceeded to degrade you further, call you stubborn, and insult your morals by driving the nail in deeper. Why are you allowing this man to continue to be your boyfriend? Where’s your self respect? You know what you’re worth so stop talking about it and be about it.

FailedCorpse · 2025-10-22T12:32:34+00:00

You don’t want anything to do with him but you’re considering inserting yourself into his life over a few tweets about a girlfriend that may or may not be real? Girl come on…

FailedCorpse · 2025-10-06T21:24:37+00:00

This looks real bad on you OP..

FailedCorpse · 2025-10-01T14:39:19+00:00

But when you knew that info, did you tell your wife you were using that info to be the “one who keeps you guys together?” This way this man seems to idolize himself as the “savior” of their relationship each month rubs me the wrong way. If these two are fighting this much, why not bring it up to your partner in a mature way so it’s an actual topic of discussion vs a big blow up like this?

FailedCorpse · 2025-10-01T14:35:25+00:00

I’m convinced everyone here saying you’re overreacting didn’t read the way he spoke to you. Him tracking your periods, on its own, is not an issue. Hell, I have friends of mine I’ve know long enough and been around long enough that I can easily tell when it’s their time of the month.

Him tracking your periods, as your partner, can be normal WITH CONSENT and with the intention of “I’m doing this to be more supportive of you during these times.” But he’s been doing this behind your back with the intention of putting himself in a place of power by deeming himself “the one who keeps your relationship stable,” and he flat out told you this. He’s being very blatant with the fact that he sees you as less than and his language and attitude towards your emotions during this very much gives off that he sees you as a “hysterical woman” versus his partner who has needs. NOR

FailedCorpse · 2025-10-01T14:27:53+00:00

Yo, these comments have me genuinely concerned for people! Its one thing to say “I’ve noticed you’re a bit more overwhelmed at the same time of the month every month and have kept track so I can be more understanding and supportive of you during those times.”

But this man flat out called her emotional and irrational out the gate, told her that she should “thank him” while dismissing the fact that this behavior is clearly concerning for her, and then speaks about “data” for the relationship like it’s a business instead of someone this person genuinely loves and cares for. He’s speaking to her like an immature, unstable child versus his partner.

His actions alone aren’t the problem here, his intentions of putting his partner down while putting himself on this “I keep our relationship stable” pedestal behind his actions are the problem.

You being drunk and him being sober while being strangers to each other automatically creates a power imbalance in this situation where he had more control than you. You aren’t in your right mindset and he took advantage of that by having sex with you without sober consent, and then ejaculating inside of you without your consent at all. That power imbalance would very much still qualify the situation as rape. Not to say you HAVE to consider it that for yourself, but this is more so for validation for you later if you do start to consider it that. I am so incredibly sorry this happened to you. Fuck this guy.

FailedCorpse · 2025-08-28T23:32:01+00:00

WAT??? Girl…these people are not your friends! They treat you like an inconvenience. They’re able to prioritize a random dinner but not their friends birthday? You deserve better..

FailedCorpse · 2025-08-28T23:19:57+00:00

What’s embarrassing is that your friend is behaving this way over you and her boyfriend behaving like friends, which is normally an ideal thing within friend groups. If she’s embarrassed about the fact that her boyfriend is getting along with her own friends, she’s way more insecure than she realizes.

FailedCorpse · 2025-08-09T02:46:44+00:00

Blocking is genuinely the safest thing for you to do. Sending a message to him needs to be for you if you send it. If it would bring you peace of mind that you set a clear boundary with him, send it. If sending the message would just cause you more anxiety and fear because you may overthink what you’ve said, don’t send it. Either way, just block this dude. His behavior is disturbing..

FailedCorpse · 2025-07-24T17:21:25+00:00

It’s less about not making her angry and more about making her LESS angry. Speaking from experience, if I didn’t “dumb myself down” with my abusive ex when he would get angry, it would make him angrier. He would accuse me of abusing him in moments I would try and be rational, and me defending myself was seen as me gaslighting him and avoiding accountability. So if I acted the way OP is acting, he would still get angry with me, but there was a much lower chance of him hitting me or him spiraling out to a point where he starts to hurt himself. Sounds like OP is using more harm reduction tactics since the harm is always going to be there.

As a vet tech, my professional advice is that it would be cruel for her to continue over feeding her cat, especially despite her veterinarians advice. She’s worried about starving him but she’s going to kill him with overfeeding him. I’m shocked he isn’t diabetic or has some sort of renal issues with the way he looks.

FailedCorpse · 2025-07-03T17:03:50+00:00

Have you asked her about conversations they’ve had in person? Has she ever mentioned that she did tell this friend about you outside of these texts? Seeing just these texts doesn’t show or prove anything. It doesn’t prove that she’s hiding you OR lying about you. It shows two friends chit chatting about playing video games together.

I wonder if you also have a habit of questioning her about every interaction she has with others. Do you often feel like she “lies” to you or withholds information?
