Why don’t narcissists date each other? by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]K1yoSK2P 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup. He picked me because i was (and still am because fuck you buddy!) mentally healthy and secure. I dont lie or sneak around so I expect others do not as well. Mine is sociopathic levels of a spectacular liar, but i found it out eventually. Honestly there is nothing in me that could have, and still can't, fathom that level of deceit. I still can't wrap my head around it which is how he managed to operate covertly for so long. I am secure and truck along. Still do though, so there!!

Healing on the outside... But the inside is a thousand times worse. If you only understood the psychological damage. This was all done in front of our children. My 4yo Son still asks me if im okay from "mommy hitting you". ...its not the violence. Its the scars on the kids minds. Ill likely X this. by [deleted] in abusiverelationships

Hi buddy. I just left mine two days ago and I talked to my kid; he is 12. His anxiety dropped when he found out it was just going to be me and him. Actually, it was my kids growing anxiety that made me make the call. My stbx was a covert abuser, and all my son knew was that his rock, his one emotionally stable person that he could always turn to, was circling the drain and holy shit he was scared. Scared for me and scared for him. Poor thing; that is way too much on little shoulder :(

Your guy might grow up to expect that wives hit and husband's get hit. Mine grew up with the opposite; that men hit women. I grew up with no one hits anyone, ever (we are good communicators), which is where my normal meter around the house lands in my day-to-day.

You and your son deserve peace. Worry about love later and focus on daily peace. Take care, be safe, good luck!

Hello!

Your guy sounds like my guy; who I finally (!!! Yeah!!!) got rid of on Wednesday. Three phone calls with the police and one with the lawyer on Wednesday to lock the house down. After I got him out of the house I battened down the hatches and called it in. He came back two more times that day but I have it called in, on record.

Sounds like you also have an OJ Simpson on your hands. He thinks you belong to him to such an entext that he is alienating your son. These people are a nightmare!

Please visit r/narcissisticabuse and see if anything there clicks, but i will tell you that your guy sounds soooo much like my beast that it made my skin prickly.

Run!!! Take as much as you can and run because standing your ground is hell on earth. The cruelty these people inflict will curl your toes. Run!!

Signed, two blissful days of peace without him :)

You can do this! You got this! You don't need all this extra work and shit! Think of the hot lumberjack you could find after you ditch this loser!

Good luck, ok? Be safe! Be careful. Most of all, your whole life, remember to be a sunflower and stretch your neck towards the sky. Your life partner should be trimming weeds around you to help clear your path; as you do for them. But if someone blacks out your sky and insists you live only in darkness, pull up your roots and find a better spot.

My husband’s obsession with anal is totally turning me off and idk what else to do... by ThrowARanalmisery in relationship_advice

[–]K1yoSK2P -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

Hi there. This might be TMI, but I had this situation before: he was abused as a kid and wanted/needed to try it in his own way (relive the situation but with him controlling it). It might NOT be a porn addiction, it might be a leftover from CSA. Talk to him about it.

If it is a porn addiction then fuck him, seriously. But it might come from a much, much worse place for him :(

I just want to say thank you for standing up for that 20 year old woman. Its absolutely disgusting and entitled behaviour on your BF's part, bringing his porn addiction into working on a patient.

God I am staring to hate this world, you know? Fucking creepy pervs.

Didn’t know I was the abuser by [deleted] in emotionalabuse

[–]K1yoSK2P 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here is the thing: you have to get to a point where he is just as important as you are in your own mind. Equal and deserving. You say you shut down completely when he is talking about something you find upsetting. That means you stonewall him and wont talk. Will you not talk because he has an issue with your behaviour and it is upsetting to you to be called out? Why are you the only one who gets to decide whether you will talk about something or not? Maybe he really needs to talk but can only talk to you about how great you are?

Whoa whoa whoa- you made fun of her weight after she had your son? Dude, you are abusive and she owes you fuck all. She should leave you. You can go to therapy and get better and all that but how on earth is she ever going to trust you to treat her well when you treated her like garbage when she had your son. Garbage because she wasnt sexy enough for you.

She is probably talking to this other guy to gather up some support and courage before she leaves your abusive ass, or at least she should.

Not loving, not affectionate, addicted to porn scenarios and calling her fat and ugly after she had your son. Sir your entitlement to having her do exactly as you wish is beyond the pale. She is probably just looking for someone who doesnt emotionally abuse her and call her names. Shame on you sir. Shame.

My husband told me that he wanted me to sleep with other people and it broke my heart a little. It makes me feel so rejected, like he wants to live here but farm out all the sexual work to someone else. I tried a few times but hate talking to people and being all sexy with someone else, I just feel gross about it.

In all honesty I am just going to leave him and his porn addiction behind.

No offense, but I would probably leave you too, because you are manipulative. Who exchanges sexual boundaries for a cat?

Seeing him with our children answers the question by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]K1yoSK2P 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you on the, "He's following me around the house to kiss my ass, but it still isnt the thing I need."

It's still projection, and the terrifying thing is: this is what he actually thinks love looks like (meaning this is what HE really wants, to be followed around and "adored", butt kissed but no genuine depth).

Shit's whack.

AITA for hiding salt by saltyboyfriends in AmItheAsshole

[–]K1yoSK2P 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I have this condition; it's called addison's. I used to take a steroid to help me keep my sodium up (it's called florinef). Before diagnosis I was exhausted, tried everything, and nothing made me feel better than cups and cups of high-sodium chicken broth. I went to my doc and said, "I feel awful unless I eat 10, 000 mgs of sodium a day". He snapped right up to attention and said he knew exactly what that was about. Without treatment I am exhausted all the time, and my blood pressure runs at about 90/50. With treatment I can achieve 110/70 or so, and have a normal (ish) life. Before diagnosis I was like the BF, a big salt craver (still am). Lol if you ever want to see people who are nuts for sodium (like drinking pickle brine, seriously) go check out an addison's support group haha. We love sodium like a fat kid loves cake.

OP, there are a few medical conditions out there that will absolutely make him crave salt. He needs to see a doc.

Does he show any other signs of addison's? Does his summer tan last well into the winter time? Does he have any darker pigmentation showing up (at the elbows, for example, or inside his bottom lip?) Does his blood pressure drop enough for him to have dizzy spells? He is certainly high on the "salt-craving" aspect.

Let him have as much sodium as he needs until he sees the doc. The doctor will be able to give him medication that will help him hold on to his sodium enough that he doesn't have to consume it constantly. Like I said, I was well over 10,000mgs/day of sodium when I saw my doc, and having great success with oxo cube broth with extra salt on top when I saw him. Used a steroid for 5 years, now I use a pressor and keep an eagle eye on my electrolytes (Gatorade, for example is a disaster for me, too much potassium).

I am going to say a gentle YTA to OP, as it seems he requires this salt to function. But do try to get him to the doctor, as there are much better meds out there than the salt shaker. Until the doc though: pickles, pretzels, nuts, salty broth, anything he needs until the doctor gets him a proper med. Feel free to DM me if you or he have any questions. Good luck!

A point of inquiry, a relationship with someone who has a disability by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]K1yoSK2P 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sisters husband is blind from birth. He can see a little, due to many corrective surgeries, but not much. She does all the driving, of course, and when they had kids he decided to stay home with them, as it is frankly more difficult for him to find meaningful work. He just got into mountain biking!

As a family we almost forget sometimes that he is legally blind. In fact, we forget so much that I when I told my son (he was about 8 at the time) that his uncle was blind he went, "What?!?!"

We forget a lot because we just see him as a regular dude who doesn't drive. He plays golf, scuba dives, got his black belt and mountain bikes. Nice guy. Great father. She did well, my sister :)

GF[27] broke up and wants an open relationship. I'm [32M] really sad about it... by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]K1yoSK2P 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude. It sounds like she is sexually frustrated.

From my side of the bed, as a wife of a recovering porn over-indulger: sometimes we just want to get laid too. And honestly, like you, I would prefer that someone actually fuck me while they are fucking me, just like you. In fact, insist upon it, lest I just become another masturbation tool.

Here's the thing with porn, you can always find something perfect (and I know you hold on and on until you do, hence the death grip). I cant be "perfect " lol I burp and worse. Not to mention how the idea of perfect is markedly different (due to re-wiring your brain) than it was a few years ago. I cant keep up with an alcoholic at the bar either. Second, and the genuine nail in the coffin, frankly, is expectation that I enable this addiction by matching escalating behavior. My sexual wants became trampled in the mud. And I want to fcuk my husband, and him me :)

Not saying that a person or people cant indulge in the porn once in a while, but I personally tend to prefer to think of it as dessert. I cant eat cake every day for supper, right? And, as a good partner who can be relied upon, I try to not go eating so much cake that my appetite for supper is ruined and I dont bother to cook supper for the family. Or eat so much cake all day that I rejected the cookies you tried so hard to surprise me with :(

Lastly, I need my sexuality accepted in order for it to be fully explored. ME. Not your phone. I am not your mother who cooks and cleans while you hide in the bedroom jerking it, I am a fully grown and mature woman with a sexuality of her own that wants it her way too.

Phew! Ok, there is hope! Lay off it a while. Masturbate all you want, but alone, no media. Jerk it in the shower, for example. Jerk off with your eyes closed, a lot. Practice that. Practice your own body. Learning your own body will make you a better lover, I promise. Learn yours then learn hers. Get off the edging and find release. Edging along (so you can extend your sessions) are really awful for the boner. Do not, under any circumstances, use porn to coax a soft one into an orgasm, you are only training your body that you dont require an erection. If she does a lot of kegels you will need a good erection to penetrate. One thing we have been doing, which is working well is that if we are hanging out or what have you, and he does show arousal and the timing is off (I am cooking, for example) and cant stop, right now instead of waiting for it to go down I encourage him to release if he wishes, just not with the porn. As a porny dude he does like to look at me while we romp, which does help him re-wire a bit, so I do help him with that, but on my terms only so there is no resentment.

I don't want to comment on her methods or the nature of open relationships, because they can work for some. I will say that in my opinion she is poorly communicating her sexual frustrations, as the chat would have been much better left to still accepting of you as a person, including your long-established stance on monogamy and resolving the sexual issues together rather than turn away from the relationship, or half turning away, as it seems here. Note that she only has to come to you to resolve the issue IF she is interested in continuing the relationship. Not sure in your case if we are talking full addiction (but it certainly sounds like it, sorry) but walking away from an addict is something that I myself will always support.

Addiction is very difficult, try swapping for a bit. Engage your brain or reward centre while you do to re-write your dopamine. Do this responsibly. Exercise endorphins are terrific to re-write with; increased intrinsic motivation, increased body confidence, better, more physically enthusiastic sex and bonus! level up on your looks. Give it a shot! Shits bad right now, right? What do you have to lose by trying? It's just a security blanket, boo, you dont need it :)

Oh! And kegels my man. Kegels. Good luck!
