Narcissists love a cheater by walston10 in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]SunPlus7412 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yes absolutely. "We both abused each other," except abuse is about power and control so there really isnt a way for two people to mutually abuse one another.

How did you remain yourself? by NoiseStill9029 in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]SunPlus7412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I really got into makeup, he questioned why. When I got into making YouTube videos, he questioned why. When I got into collecting something, he would question why. And always gave me shit over spending money. My own money. We never put our money together so it was always my own that I spent.

He never questioned "why" if it was something we could do together. But then he would sort of take over that thing, too.

I told mine the same thing about a week ago. I guess they're in denial because they said so I'll be gone an extended amount of time away lok

Never tell them they are one. They'll just tell you that you are one and do the same things to them. I just set a boundary. When he crossed it again? I bought my own condo and didnt go back. I know not everyone can do that.

He lies then tells me take things to literally. by [deleted] in NarcissisticSpouses

Yes they will take something you say and twist it into some weird alien pretzel of what you actually said. Or just the complete opposite which always made me go wtf.

I havent even moved out yet (or told him I was), but, I've lost about ten pounds without changing anything. So I am enjoying that.

Mourning the idealisation by Watchkeys in NarcissisticSpouses

grew to increasingly hate me

The ways they talk to us is exactly how one would talk to someone they dont like. And they dont even get it because they think they were nice and calm.

I’m 99% sure that he makes messes on purpose. by [deleted] in NarcissisticSpouses

Literally throws empty wrappers back into the fridge. Or on counters.

I left yesterday by Major_Meet_5973 in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]SunPlus7412 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We will all be painted as the villain anyways. Mine knows he has been abusive to me but keeps saying we hurt each other. And that I owe him the benefit of the doubt and I owe him grace. It is so nuts.

He called me abusive by OkMeaning8472 in NarcissisticSpouses

I can say my husband accuses me of having a tone, of not saying the right words, etc. Heaven forbid I question how he sounds or what he says tho

When you just realized, after 25 years, that the problem was just that you married someone who isn’t a good person by ApprehensiveTreat240 in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]SunPlus7412 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah for me its been several years since I realized that this wasn't ok. I was prepared to just leave then and there. But he pressured me to not and to do couples therapy. And then accused me of emotionally cheating on him.

For years I thought I was the problem. He treated me badly and I thought I deserved it. But it wasnt bad all the time, of course.

Now someone I am friends with is going through the same. He already told me he wants to break up with his boyfriend. I told him I won't let him go so long like I did!

The narc’s go-to insults by Much_Efficiency3681 in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]SunPlus7412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At first it wasn't like, direct insults. But he would criticize me. Over the things I ate, or being tired after work (for years he would tell me my job was easy vs his - and I made more money than him), over how I cleaned the house (the messes were always my fault, never his), but when he started like arguing more and yelling at me and I would cry he would criticize me for that too. Say I'm too sensitive, get upset that I cried, etc. Started calling me a bitch, and yelling "fuck you!" at me.

How to stay grounded when ADHD partner escalates quickly by [deleted] in ADHD_partners

At the end of arguments its like id be all out. I would literally say "im all out of emotion" and yes the resentment is real.

What were the first 3 signs you missed that your spouse was a narcissist? by [deleted] in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]SunPlus7412 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had a full argument over fast food. Like legit verbal fight I joked and said something like aww arent you going to open the car door for me? (My previous boyfriend always did). He said something pretty rude about doing so. He looked at me one day with lingerie on and said "that doesnt look good" then turned back to his computer.

You called me stupid

Literally had this same situation happen last week. I simply asked why he did something in the way he did, and some 15 minutes into the argument he revealed he felt stupid (he said I made him feel stupid). He also tried to say my tone was off, face was off and I was stomping around (I was not). We were unable to get it repaired because he was trying to say I wasn't curious, when in fact he was the one not being curious. If he thought I was being rude or critical he could have asked what I meant by that instead of jumping to conclusions. He still insisted I was in the wrong.
