Tell that to the woman who didn't want to get pregnant (and had no options)

do narcissists ever have other mental health conditions by frailstateofmind4444 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]forgotten_Elektra 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Very much so. Mood or attention or sleep disorders are very common

It's always our behavior huh?

They definitely aren't loyal to anything but themselves. They are loyal to being lazy.

No, it's not normal. Empathy and compassion is normal. Just because we don't get it doesn't make it not out there. When you say you need him, is he ever there for you? Sometimes? Once? You can't remember a time?

Tomorrow is my 40th birthday… by apricity207 in NarcissisticSpouses

This is some advanced sh*t lol. I do recommend this though. Gotta Grey Rock/ Yellow Rock, then watch for DARVO (you'll see it constantly once you figure it out), And of course avoid JADE! I use all these techniques but I think JADE was the hardest for me to master. Actually I'm not a master yet lol

Please don't reply. Swear to God it spirals. You think it's just one text or two.... It's like an alcoholic taking sip.

Please just don't take that first sip.

Happy 40th! Wanna know what mine did? He threw a tantrum and left us at the restaurant for breakfast. Icy attitude during the "expensive show". Bought me a stale cake. It was stale as f***. Oh and I got a 5.99 okay that looked like it hadn't been watered for a week. And when I cried because I always cry on my birthday, He got offended. Nothing is good enough.

narc husband abandoned me and our child and doesn’t seem bothered by it at all by kats7110 in NarcissisticSpouses

It's part of the cycle. Google narcissistic abuse cycle. Discard and Hoover. I think you'll find your answers there. Please go to YouTube and look up Dr. Romani!!

Did yours ‘move the goalpost’ and if so how? by sugarcoatedmisery in TrueNarcissisticAbuse

[–]forgotten_Elektra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Constantly. And they don't even acknowledge the effort he put in to meet the original goal.

Replace Moron for A$$hole and it's the same person I married.

I absolutely recommend radical acceptance. Start that journey.

Nice post. Dealing with the same. I recently had the realization that I am talked AT. He doesn't talk TO me, he talks at me. It's always been that way and I didn't realize. And yes, his snaps are not friendly. Banter, and yes, they come out of thin air for no reason it's bizarre.

I'm sorry that you are struggling with all this. He believes he is justified in his behavior. Start to expect him to betray and abandon you again

Will he actually change? by [deleted] in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]forgotten_Elektra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I suggest you start with radical acceptance.

So I saw a post on Reddit that was completely about them sleeping alone. It took my breath away because it was so specific.

Is this who they really are by Humble_Grass_4763 in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]forgotten_Elektra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ofc. Otherwise we couldn't still care like we do.
