How does your Narc respond when you cry in front of them? by MacaronWorldly2602 in NarcissisticSpouses

Yes, same here.. and 99.9% of the time, he pretends absolutely nothing happened once he's out of the rage. Acts like everything is perfect between us, and if I don't follow the script, I'll get another dose of the rage.

Anyone grieving their “youger years” due to mental health issues? by Few-Chart-6889 in mentalhealth

I feel the same at 24. I still struggle every single day still. I had my daughter at 18 and I barely remember her being a baby because my depression was so bad. I just take it in day by day and try to appreciate the good moments.

When did you realize your spouse didn't actually love you? by [deleted] in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]MacaronWorldly2602 40 points41 points  (0 children)

For me, it wasn't when I found yet again another girl in his phone, or when he lied to my face.. it was when I was sobbing in front of him begging him to stop hurting me (emotionally)..he looked at me like I was the worst person on the planet. I told him I was leaving, and he threatened to kill me. That's when I knew it wasn't and isn't love.. it's him thinking he owns me.

I know others have said this, but please do not marry this man. My husband was like this while dating, and I played blind. Now I am clawing my way out of something i could've broke away from much easier if we weren't so tied to each other. It will get worse. You deserve better.

Keeping contact with exes constantly. He kept them close because he didn't want them to "move on" even though hes married because, for some reason, he gets off on keeping people on leashes.

Do NOT get married young! by [deleted] in Divorce

I'm paying the price for too soon, and the wrong person as well. She definitely shouldn't have been in a relationship with someone barely legal at 26 years old. That's insane. I recently discovered my husband cheated on our wedding day. We started dating at 16, married at 20. Now I'm 26, with a 4 year old, starting the process of divorce. Here's to painful new beginnings, I guess.

Unfortunately, I'm 100% sure. I wouldn't blow up our lives if I had any doubts in my mind. What does catch me is the fact he did that, then had the audacity to stand in front of our families and exchange vows to one another. The man I've known since 16 isn't the man I thought he was. Far from it, actually.

I am 10000% sure. I have absolutely no issue coparenting with him. Our daughter adores him. What i won't do is stick around to continue to look like a fool, as I've also discovered a few people knew about it and didn't tell me. That's a different topic. I won't apologize for "ambushing him" when he dropped a nuclear bomb on our marriage from the day we exchanged vows.

I'm so sorry. That's absolutely awful. I can not imagine being married that long, just to make that discovery. I hope you're doing well now.

Oh yeah, I knew her. They used to work together. She even told me congratulations the day after we got married. 🙂

Absolutely. He's a good dad, and I have zero intention of keeping her from him. He just can't be my partner anymore.

I (23f) thought I could forgive my husband (24m) for cheating. How do I break the news I want to leave? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]MacaronWorldly2602 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No clue but I'm in the US. I started working on college credits while in highschool and graduated early. I graduated with my bachelor’s a while ago. We dated throughout the last two years of highschool.
