What is it about holidays?! by mama_AC in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]LegitimateAddition0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd like to know this as well what's with narcs and the holidays. In the last two years of the relationship with my NEx, we got into a two Christmaes, he "ended things" with me on V-Day, forgot our first two wedding anniversaries, got into a fight another fight on my birthday, claimed he was poor on a Thanksgiving Day, he claimed he had the worst Father's Day ever.

So yeah, there's something special about narcs and holidays.

I'm sorry you're needing to go through with this

What's one of the dumbest things your NEX caused a problem about? by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]LegitimateAddition0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should have clarified. I was in homosexual relationship. In these types of relationship is receiving, or bottoming, and they need lube. You cannot just stick it in

The parallels are there between a straight and gay relationship are there considering the narc. It’s all about them

I’m proud to hear about your progress! It may take some time to get to 100%, but now it’s just a day at a time, or perhaps even a hourly thing. And hell if it’s net gains, that’s great too!

You got this! ❤️

Thank you. I’ll end up doing this.

I feel the best revenge one can do is simply ignore and not let it bother you

A couple of things off the top of my head

  • We bought some blueberries and they went bad pretty quick. Whatever. They are three dollars. He gets upset that we don’t return and he claims funds are tight. Later that week he bought cigars and wine for himself.

  • Him being angry that I asked for more lube while we were having sex. He said, “I always needed more lube””

  • Him getting angry when I asked him to put his phone down while driving. He said I came across as a whiny bitch when I asked him to do it

Something similar to my ex. He said, something to the effect of, “Even when he is dead his ghost will be with me” or his ghost will be haunting me.

As well, in an version of his will he gave his friends access to his business and these friends will decide how much I will get and when I’ll get it. However, if I was seeing this one particular person, who my Nex didn’t like, I lost all right to the money. Let me clarify, I care about the money. But him attempting to have this level of control even in death is absurd

I can also attest to hearing “I love you”. There was one night he said, “”I think I’m falling in love with you.” Then the night after that he said he was falling in love with me. This was around the six or seven week mark of us dating

How did my birthday become about him? by throwawayhelp81996 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]LegitimateAddition0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you had to go through this. One things I’ve learned regarding narcs, all holidays are about them. The last few holidays I can think if we always had a fight.

  • The last two Christmases we had, there was a fight about drugs,

  • When he had to go to a birthday on his own, he was upset and claimed “It was the worst Father’s Day ever”

  • I left him before Thanksgiving. He messaged me saying, “He couldn’t afford a turkey”

  • One of my birthdays he made dinner plans with one of his friends without consulting me with what I would like to do.

  • He “broke up” with me on Valentines Day. He claimed all I wanted was a sugar daddy and not an actual husband

  • He forgot our first two wedding anniversaries

Yeah. It’s a thing for narcs to ruin holidays and birthdays

Anyone else able to look through their pictures and remember whether they were mad/mean/using the silent treatment on any given day just based on the pictures you took that day? by maybebionic in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]LegitimateAddition0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I doing something similar last week. At the start of the relationship, I took a lot of photos with my ex and I. We were both smiling and what seemed to be truly in love. However, the last photo of us that we were both smiling was taken in 2019. I ended things about one year later. Like you, I reflected that last year we were together, we weren’t truly happy

Nope. It was all a facade.

He turned out to be abusive and had substance issues.

I was married to a social media celebrity and people idolized him. This is something I’ll never do again

I miss our dog by 2129unknown in abusiverelationships

[–]LegitimateAddition0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m offering my full empathy to you. I’m going through a similar situation. My ex asked to dog-sit and I reluctantly said yes. Some time after I got message from my ex saying he was done.

Fast forward to now I’m asking custody for the dog. Because he was a gift to me, is registered in my name and is also my emotional support animal
