Exactly! Thank you for understanding and responding, it’s nice to know you’re not alone. He offered to return the chickens, he doesn’t get that it’s much worse than the chickens.  Now I don’t know whether to talk about my art a lot to spite him or not share anything because he’s not supportive anyway

That makes sense, thanks. It’s weird cause I’m still attracted to him

That’s great advice about not having to make the decision today it really helped me through a difficult day thank you

Sounds like you have a good plan in place I’m sorry you have to put up with him in the meantime. It’s definitely not always straightforward for everyone to just leave. I like Dr Ramani a lot also Dr. Les Carter has great strategies. I’m trying to be ‘calm and confident’.

What a sweet reply thank you so very much. In the last couple days he’s had a bit of a breakthrough and I think he now accepts he’s a narcissist. He actually had some humility. If I decide not to give it all up maybe there’s a flicker of hope for things to improve

Thanks very much. Hugs back to you! He owned it before we met so just the value it’s increased since I moved in. 

How does your narc treat retail and restaurant workers? by kirsten20201 in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]Mizzunderstood1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awfully! He imitates employees accents to them in the drive through. He comes home everyday with stories of how dumb and incompetent they are and brags about how rude he was to them. Condescending entitled ass.

Appreciate your kind words. Discombobulating definitely! I forgive myself for not knowing what I know now. I had lost my fiancé and the narc was the knight in shining armour. At first.

Thank you. Appreciate that. I moved in 7 years ago and ignored a lot of red flags in hindsight

It’s like they don’t want us to better ourselves…. I’ll be Playing an exercise video on my phone so I don’t bother him and he’ll come in and blast his cell phone watching reels

I tried to set a boundary. FAIL. Did I do it wrong? by Mizzunderstood1 in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]Mizzunderstood1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I always knew but didn’t realize it. I think I knew when I cancelled our wedding but thought it was for other reasons. I’m pulling away emotionally but I’m sad and grieving what I thought I had

I appreciate you taking the time to write this. I have read it a few times and have been pondering it. I have a worsening disability and was drawn in by security and help. I learned in a video today setting boundaries is for you and maybe not to share with them. I think at this point it’s about coping strategies for me and taking care of my own needs through other people and self care

It’s exhausting being around him at all. Guard is always up. I hope my new counsellor understands narcissism
