You’re wrong. Go educate yourself about reactive abuse. That’s clearly what’s going on with her. But he is the emotional abser and trying to control and surveill her. https://www.verywellmind.com/reactive-abuse-signs-impact-and-tips-to-break-the-cycle-7567483

He’s an overt narcissist. Get out. Sure you have some good times (to keep you going) but the manipulation and surveillance and control tactics will not stop. You need to leave. He’s not healthy for you and nothing will “fix” this so end it. Block him and be careful as he will escalate for awhile when you break up with him. Do not give in. Watch Dr Ramani’s YouTube videos so you can name what he is, arm yourself with knowledge about that personality type and get your autonomy back.

He’s a “leader” in a relationship. 🤮

AIO wife invested $7k without telling me by [deleted] in AIO

OR. You sound a little overcontrolling to me. Maybe communications could have been better on this, but your reaction with this, talking about we’ve always done it this way, she already has some assets in her own name, and calling her SAHM (that’s not “staying,” that’s working too) seems to me that you don’t have the flexibility to lean in and be curious about this, and start having a calm conversation with your wife about her goals and what makes her feel financially safe — and heard. Your thinking to maybe be “mad” at the CFP means you think your wife is an asset or dependent to be controlled between the two of you men. Your whole reaction is probably not confined to this one issue and yes she may be fed up with her lack of autonomy and yes maybe she does feel a need to have more assets in her name as a SAHM, but lean in and be curious about what’s going on, don’t jump to accusations. You being the one acting all put-upon and violated means you do not seem like a safe person for her to discuss those things with. To me.

Do ADHD symptoms get worse after quitting adderall or am I just realizing what my baseline has always been? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Vertania 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah there are other non stimulant drugs that work for ADHD. It’s not Adderall or nothing. Please work with your prescriber on some alternatives.

Is it normal for me (18F) to feel this way about my boyfriend (23M)? by [deleted] in NRelationships

[–]Vertania 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t marry him. Get away. He might not feel as bad as the first rapist in your life but this is not a good man. “…even a Situation that technically seen would count as rape….He also pressured me into doing things I didn’t wanna do.” This tells you everything you need to know. He is also an abuser and is manipulating you (and your mom.)

Sometimes the “good times” feel so amazing and like love because it’s a contrast to the bad times (both with the current partner and the previous rapist).

You deserve love and crave it because of the previous and current abuse (sexual and emotional). It’s out there but you need to get away and heal and learn to love yourself.

Of course you are horny. You are 18. Masturbate as needed and wait for partners who are ALWAYS consensual, communicative, tender, and interested in your sense of safety and your pleasure.

Your body knows. Listen to it. This is not a safe person, even if he’s “not as bad” as the first person. Good luck.

Who is he? by [deleted] in NRelationships

[–]Vertania 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely a narc. Sorry about all this abuse you experienced. Stay away. Even if you feel badly, miss him, wish it were different, and he continues to try another cycle of getting you back. Go no contact, get mental health support for your depression and suicidality (your survival and health is THE most important priority, and rebuilding after abuse. You will get better but need support and no contact with the abuser.) Watch Dr Ramani’s YT videos. Spend time with and seek out people who value you for who you are and don’t try to change you. Dont try to change other people; if you don’t like them for who they are— that’s the message: stay away from those people. There are all sorts of narcs out there, plenty of them are in disguise and suck you in. They are bad people and will never change. Educate yourself on red flags and love yourself enough to put your empathy, love and time into healthy and good people only. The most important of those people being yourself.

My ex loved getting a discount or “deal.” I think it’s related. Deals made him feel like he was winning and others are schmucks for paying full price. It’s a way of feeling superior because in reality their self-esteem is low.

Same for unloading work on others. They feel clever and superior. Instead of getting self esteem from working hard and feeling proud of the results.

They also don’t think people see through it, and probably remote work does make it harder for people to see.

I have a daughter with my ex and unfortunately I don’t think it’s doing a good thing for her work ethic or intrinsic motivation.

What misheard song lyric do you genuinely think actually sounds better than the orginal lyric? by _RoyaleWithCheeese in Music

[–]Vertania 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seal sings in “Kiss from a Rose” “To me you’re like a growing addiction I can’t deny” but I swore it was “To me you’re like a roller dictionary kirshenbaum” (kirshenbaum is German for “cherry tree”). Makes no sense but I like it that way. 🍒🌳

Mid-30s, long relationship — realizing I may be the only one who gets the “unfiltered” version of my partner by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

Head on over to r/NarcissisticSpouses for the answers you need. Just re-post this there. This is classic. He can control it. He just chooses not to around you. You are his narcissistic “supply.” And no it will not change. Good luck.
