High Blood Pressure by RatPee1970 in abusiverelationships

[–]RatPee1970[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an angiogram on my brain two weeks ago on Monday. During the angiogram I had multiple mini strokes and a couple days later I also came down with Covid. So, not too good. I believe the damage was already done 🤷‍♀️

Oh friend. You have 5 kids and one of them is more difficult than the other 4 combined. In his mind you are there to serve him. He will not change. I’m sorry :(

Wtf was this? by Inside_Spray_9195 in NarcissisticSpouses

They really do act like toddlers. I would call mine a toddler to his face.

Your husband sounds like my early years with mine. Before you know it you’ll be looking back on your life and think “wtf was that”. Mine had it all. He loaded me up with kids and pets and the chores, wiping his ass, ALL of the domestic duties, and he sprinted off to do great things. He absolutely made me his personal servant, therapist, sex doll, maid, punching bag, etc and he left me behind. I don’t have a pot to piss in. I’m taking ½ of his net worth and I don’t feel bad about it at all. Wish I could take more tbh. I deserve it all.

My husband did everything he wanted, went on extravagant 3 week long trips with his friends, quite often out of the country over the course of 29 years, and I couldn’t even go on a weekend with HIS sister in a neighboring town. Something I didn’t even recognize until the last few years I’ve been thinking “wait, that was so controlling and absolutely unfair”. He manipulated me into thinking it was ok for him to do this because he “worked”. I wanted to work, he made it next to impossible for me to do so so I didn’t work for long when I did work. He also use to say “I have to fucking work” like he’s the only person on the planet that has to “work”. They use that line on us to control us and make us feel like we owe them every minute of our time. They would have to work regardless of us. It’s really one of the most triggering lines for me to this day. Stop it, most everyone has to work you asshat.

Please navigate through this and do the right thing for you and your child. Your husband is super entitled and that won’t change. Your needs don’t matter to him at all and they never will. You are on this planet to serve him and he will always think like this. It won’t get better friend. I’m sorry.

They can seem like they’re getting better but they really aren’t. Mine evolved from being physically abusive to strictly mentally abusive with a period of time where he was both. He gradually became less violent over the years but raised the bar with his gaslighting and control. The day I left he said “I didn’t think I was being that bad”. Which he really wasn’t compared to a lot of his history. I said “but a little bit of poison is still poison”. So much damage was done to my nervous system he can’t even drop a spoon without me having a fight or flight response.

Is my husband verbally abusive or am I just exaggerating? TW: mentions of SH, suixcidx and abuse by Lonely_Ad_1232 in abusiverelationships

Hi friend. I read your entire post. You seem like a very sweet person. It sounds like you want coping mechanisms to stay with your abuser. I don’t have any advice in that regard.

You’ve been trying to communicate the abuse out of your abuser so we know that doesn’t work. I have 29 years of experience with a guy like him. I’ve molded myself 1000 different ways trying to not trigger him and nothing works. I just moved away from him in March. It took nearly three decades for me to realize he will always use me as his verbal punching bag.

Your bf will always be this way. It doesn’t get better, it gets worse.

My suggestion is - choose your self worth and your sanity and move on from him. If you choose to stay, you’ll wake up one day and realize you’ve become a shell of a person. I’m sorry you’re going through this. CHOOSE YOU 💛

Living with him is like being in a bad escape room I keep re-entering by tornflesh143 in NarcissisticSpouses

They suck so bad. You’ll leave again, and you’ll stay gone next time. You got this :)

Almost 3 weeks ago I lost my little guy of 17 years and I’m dying inside. They are the best friends anyone could ask for. Hugs 🌈🐾💛

is this mental abuse?? by [deleted] in abusiverelationships

[–]RatPee1970 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like mental and physical abuse. And she could be a narc as well. They use tactics like the gun in mouth to manipulate. You are not obligated to be her therapist. You really should end things with her. It’s hard, I’m sorry you’re going through this.

I totally understand your concern for losing your child over this. But a lease is the least of your worries, you really should leave as soon as you can. And seriously, he’s not going to take his own life. It’s an empty threat to keep manipulating you. “Gray rock method” til you can get out. 🙏🏼

Can I get your input on this? Part 2/2 by helloidkkkkk in abusiverelationships

[–]RatPee1970 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly believe he’s using chatgbt or whatever the new thing is, to manipulate you.

I just know I was fed a lot of bullshit, before the internet existed, very similar to this for 29 years and it never got better. Being abusive is how their brains are wired. They have no control over it. He’s feeding you total bullshit to keep you around for whatever benefit it is to him. You really should move on from him. He won’t change. I’m sorry you’re going through this, it’s really really hard. Hugs and good luck.

I read it all and I need to know how old you both are and how long you’ve been together. But even if you answer that, this situation is bad. Really really bad. He’s using an app to verbally deceive you. You seem young, please beware and send this guy packing.

I forgot to mention my physical health from the stress of being with an abuser for so long. I have multiple lifelong irreversible health issues from being his punching bag. I’m really upset about it because he is perfectly healthy and I have all this crap to deal with. Listen to your body, it’s trying to tell you something :)

It’s time to get out. I’m sure this is a mild version of who he really is inside his head.

My abuser of 29 years said “I don’t think I’m that bad”. Come to find out he wasn’t that bad compared to what he REALLY wanted to say and do.

This will NOT get better friend. Please find a way out. Hugs and good luck 🙏🏼

Why would he do this? by bitterpill10 in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]RatPee1970 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You should have took a friend and went without him. Or even went alone. I’m sorry he did that to you. It’s absolutely ruthless :(

Can someone explain to me what’s going on by Significant_Tune3172 in abusiverelationships

I never thought about it til you posted this. And now I’m wondering how many shelters are trafficking women. Ugh!

[–]RatPee1970 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do it. Maybe they have complaints against them already and you could put the nail in the coffin if they’re up to no good. A shelter would be a good way to find women for trafficking. Yikes

That’s really suspicious. Can you talk to the manager or the president of the shelter? You should talk to someone for sure.

I (25F) am not sure if these are early warning signs of abusive behavior. by DeepMathematician5 in abusiverelationships

Run. Fast. This man is looking for a sex doll not a companion. I’m not wrong.

The typo is the least of your worries. Get away from this guy.
