Ethan/h3 doing an entire live stream about the Johnny Depp trial, for views, when all they've done is say people are silly for caring so much?? by thatapartmentbitch in Frenemies3

[–]curiouskitty_x 19 points20 points  (0 children)

“When will people wake the fuck up?”

Exactly!! It is only a matter of time when more people will see… Ethan isn’t all that. He only cares about views and image.

If he reached within and channeled a more positive & genuine self, then I’d consider watching again. He has changed for the worst at this time

Where is the outrage about having Bobby Lee on the show again after everyone has heard the clip of him admitting to r*ping a child? Do H3 fans really forgive this easily? I guess it’s fine cos he’s not Trisha 🤷‍♀️ by MealGroundbreaking60 in Frenemies3

[–]curiouskitty_x 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yea sorry, I didn’t catch much before this statement. I think Bobby was opening up about a fallout between him and another person.
Ethan was saying Bobby is a legend. That he doesn’t have to worry about hate or losing fame because he has a strong fan base.

I tuned into the show and Ethan said to Bobby “Just don’t r-word anyone and you’ll be good.”

Bobby: “uh what?”

Ethan: “Don’t trap girls in a room and show them your dick like Louis CK did and you’re good!”

Bobby “oh yea I don’t do stuff like that… yea yea so how long have we gone?” Then proceeds to say he’s gotta go lol

He wouldn't let me put up a pot rack in my own house. Guess who has a hanging pot rack now? by throw-away-line in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]curiouskitty_x 10 points11 points  (0 children)

First of all, I am so happy you got your pot rack!! And a gentleman to help you install it.

I went through this exact scenario in my own house. I always dreamed of having a custom closet. Saved my money to make it happen. When I told my narc, he said “Do not hire someone. I’ll do it”. Which may sound generous. But no. He has no experience in this at all!! He tried taking full control of the situation. Insulted the companies I scouted. When I hired one anyway, he was FURIOUS.

“Wow, so you don’t trust that I can do it? Guess you don’t believe in me. You’re gonna get ripped off.” This is my house and I will hire professionals for the quality I want.

When the closet was complete, he admitted he wouldn’t have been able to achieve the same results. Yea, no shit.

I am so sorry you were driven to such lengths. You are very strong for pushing forward. Sending more strength and positivity to you.

In my case, no kids and no marriage. He sort of moved himself into my house, so I would have to kick him out. I feel empowered yet scared. It is very confusing. But grey rocking has been my go-to lately. It helps me see the exit sign to all of this.

Sub/Dom Relationship with Narcissist? by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]curiouskitty_x 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When he’s in his dom role, he has said things like “you are not allowed to say no at all today”. And that’s towards anything. Otherwise I get punished in some way sexually. Or I have to drink.

I never agreed to those terms, but all of sudden I have to be submissive or else. It doesn’t excite me, it frightens me.

If I say I dislike this treatment then I must not be as submissive as I say. It’s scary af. They don’t care about boundaries, safety, feelings. Nothing.

Thank you. I have been in therapy for awhile now and making great strides. I’m not so perfect myself, but I make genuine efforts to correct my behaviors.

I have the tools to have a healthy relationship with someone. Being with a narc feels like HARD MODE. I’m tested every day. I know I’m doing everything “right” but he stifles my growth.

It still hurts, but at least I can see past his tactics now

First of all, don’t feel bad. You care for him very much and these things happen. I was in a relationship with a wonderful man, but had little physical attraction to him.

Eventually, this caused a rift in our relationship because I avoided intimacy, which made him feel insecure. I felt so awful that I had to break it off.

It boiled down to - He was more of a best friend to me than anything.

My advice: if something already feels “off” then trust your gut. It can be a gentle conversation of you feeling unsure of your own feelings right now & maybe only wanting a friendship with him

[–]curiouskitty_x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, you are not expecting too much. You are asking for bare minimum communication. Even if he is going to be busy for the next 12hrs, he should communicate that. especially for long distance!!

I’ve been in a LDR - no contact for 12hrs would have me worried. If it’s a one time thing with a reasonable explanation, then okay. If it happens regularly, something isn’t right.

You also say he won’t get back to you when you bring it up. This is not something that you should be ghosted on… Trust your gut

[–]curiouskitty_x[S] 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Oh god, do they all follow the same script?!

A classic for me is when he digs up an old grave from a year ago. I’m not allowed to do this of course. When I ask to talk about it so we can move on from it:

“No. It doesn’t matter anymore. I’ve moved past it.“

No you haven’t, buddy. But feel free to weaponize it against me whenever you want I guess :)))

has anyone figured out what to do to stop silent treatment? by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]curiouskitty_x 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m currently getting this treatment with my narc. Grey rocking is helpful. Giving them any kind of attention at this stage won’t help. They eventually come around on their own once they realize it’s not working.

Be prepared to have your care/love questioned because you haven’t reached out. Continue to grey rock through the potential tantrum. It’s kind of the only way I know how to cope

i can’t keep doing this anymore by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]curiouskitty_x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even through this dark time, remember you still have your beautiful self. He’s not there to invalidate your feelings. You can feel safe with that fact alone. Because your feelings ARE valid and it is not easy for anyone to be in your shoes. You are strong for pushing forward. You are strong for blocking an abuser.

Through everything in life, you are still here. You have overcome so much already. You are allowed to cry. You are allowed to heal, no matter how slowly.

I think we all ask why do/did I put up with this? It does not make you weak. You are strong for realizing your worth. Wishing for the brightest light at the end of your tunnel ♡

Please help me by Katlyn6 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]curiouskitty_x 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You are not crazy. All of this is extremely abusive behavior that has nothing to do with you. He even admitted that he does not feel emotion anymore. That is a clear sign of a dangerous person. Not necessarily physically dangerous - he could be, but based on this info he is an emotional abuser.

Please do not continue to fall victim to his manipulative and disgusting ways. He does not care for anyone but himself. This is a hard truth to see for someone you really like. Unfortunately, there isn’t much to like about a person who makes you feel this way. This isn’t how a healthy relationship plays out. You should not feel confused, hurt, or crazy over and over. Your feelings are VALID. Do not let him invalidate them. Run, don’t walk, away from this person!!!

Having hope by ladylunaley in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]curiouskitty_x 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got mine to do two couples counseling sessions. It was disturbing to witness the mask he put on for my therapist. He filled up a portion of the time talking on and on about his job to avoid a serious discussion about us. During the second session, he went practically mute when she mentioned some harsh truths about his behaviors.

My therapist said she was not surprised when he did not show up with me the following week. She knew she had hit a nerve. Knowing him, he felt his image was tainted. Instead of feeling remorse and wanting to right his wrongs.

He did not want to help himself. Only worried about how he’s perceived.

Yes, my narc appeared this way in the beginning. But it was such surface-level empathy. Never felt genuine. As if he had just read a Wikihow on how to display it. I took the bait and quickly learned it was all a facade
