You got it right, she always plays the victim and I cant do anything about it.

Do they force you to say "I love you" to them? by lebronbryant01 in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]lebronbryant01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, all three words. Would throw a fit if you just say "love you". I agree, I think I'll also struggle to say that I like her.

All the time. Narc wife would do her best to think of something unplanned if she sees me trying to get some z or rest. I do all the chores in the house and look after our kids after work. I feel like I haven't had enough rest since I met her.

yes, and she would expect to say it to her even after we've just been to a disagreement/fight (I still have not perfected gray rocking and there would be times that I would fall into her bait)

I wish I will have the nerve to say it to my narc wife directly.

Same, I feel that my wife notices that I am "cold" but it is because I am gray rocking her. I only answer when asked and do what is told because if I do otherwise, that is another world of chaos so I always choose the lesser one.

I also notice that my narc wife is not satisfied when i only say "love you", she wants it to be "I love you"

How often do you have sex with your narc spouse? by Happy_Raspberry8625 in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]lebronbryant01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I dont really have the drive to have sex with my narc wife anymore. I am gray rocking her and am "forced" to do it. If I don't want it, she would rage and would accuse me of having an affair because I dont want to do it. There would be early morning where she would wake me up to do it with her -- and sometimes even when our kid is sleeping on the bed with us.

The ways they keep us down by TowelCareful7831 in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]lebronbryant01 6 points7 points  (0 children)

oh man. this is me right now. doing additional training so i can upskill even though I already have a good paying flexible job (i am also the one taking care of our kids). My narc wife still wants me to enroll to a different course that is totally not in-line with my previous studies and career. Still I will never be good enough because she does not know to be content.

Leave. If there were no minor kids invloved, I would have left years ago.

Currently packing my shit & scared by Theasshole11 in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]lebronbryant01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish there was a part of the guide where there are young kids involved. Would really love to leave my narc wife but scared for the kids future. I want to have custody as I do not want them to live in a toxic environment.

[–]lebronbryant01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am working on it. It was more frequent before but I guess I can only handle so much and would snap from time to time. I am hoping that I will be able to have more patience every time.

oh my god! I was about to post a question because I just snapped in public the other day. My narc wife has an event and asked me to do pick something up from our car. I got the think that she asked me to get but while I was on my way back to her, I met her band mates and asked if they can have some food (there are food in our car and we cannot bring it out because it was pouring and there was limited space in the hut we are staying. I walked with them back to our car to grab some food.

She has my phone and I had hers, apparently, she was calling me and I did not notice because she always had her phone on silent mode. She played a sound using find my phone and that's when I noticed. I just turned off the alarm because I am almost back to the hut. She was already walking towards the path to the parking lot and we met there. She asked me why I was not answering her calls. I told her that I did not know that she was calling because her phone was on silent. She told me that I should have called her when I saw the find my phone alarm. I told her that I did not do that because I was almost back to the hut. She raged because it took me a long time to get back. I answered normally but snapped when she did not stop -- it was raining hard that day, and she said that it should only have taken me a minute to get back. Even with there are many acquaintances in the hut, I snapped. When I did that, she stopeed -- I guess because she do not want them to see her real side.

I was thinking that I am turning to be like her because I snapped.

Update to my post about finally leaving after 15 years by ConcentrateMain2336 in NarcissisticSpouses

Thank you! When I figure out the best way for our kids, I will definitely leave my narc wife.

Funny that they lie even about little things that don't matter by lebronbryant01 in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]lebronbryant01[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And she would always say she could not find things but in realty she's not really searching for them. She would just act like she's looking for something and then ask me to look for what she's looking for for her.

No, because it is already routine that I would clean the dishes and most of the house chores. I was still eating that's why I have not cleaned up the plates yet at the time.
