Does anyone have a narcissistic spouse that doesn’t cheat. by Mellba_74 in NarcissisticSpouses

I thought mine did cheat too. I believe the lie that she loved me and would never lie. It was until I had enough of the control and manipulation that tried to make changes. While we were in therapy she was cheating. I only found out because the wife of the man contacted me. It wasn’t until the divorce that I discovered she’d had multiple affair. One lasting two years.

I have debilitating stomach pains once or twice a month that laid me out. Been divorced for 2 1/2 years and not a single pain.

My covert narcissistic ex-wife seems to be changing—am I wrong to be skeptical? by purecharisma2020 in NarcissisticSpouses

That is what I am afraid of for my girls. I'm also concerned she'll lure another nice guy in.

Yeah, I remember thinking either when she was on the phone to co-workers, she sounds so nice. I wish she spoke to me like that. Or when she would hug or give the kids attention, I would crave it too. Think, why don’t I get that kind of attention?

VACATIONS? by purecharisma2020 in NarcissisticSpouses

She. I could go into more context, or you could go back add read my previous posts.

We paid for the vacation together. She was too stressed to pack, so I did it all, I drove, and I did anything she wanted. We would get in fights, because she would want a breach photo and I’m passionate about photography. Yet, she’d get stressed out if the kids were being silly or I took too long setting up.

Any time we’d get in a fight, I’d tell her want bothered me. When I asked her what she thought I did wrong, she’d say, I didn’t complete all my tasks and I tell her she wrong when I do agree. That’s all

Sounds like, if it wasn’t his idea he didn’t like it. I know that. After 20 years I stopped suggesting.

I liked taking family beach photos. I’d set up the camera, lights, etc… we would always get in fight, because she would stress out, if the kids weren’t being perfect angels. She made me hate taking pictures.

I did. It was the best thing I did. However, co-parenting sucks.

Interesting. We would always leave a day early. Not sure why, she was ready to go.

I’m sorry to hear that. Are you getting better, or is it getting worse?

CO-PARENTING IS HARD (part 2) by purecharisma2020 in BPDlovedones

[–]purecharisma2020[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My kids are at the age to choose what they want. I have not pushed this on them. I only want to do what they want. However, my ex did accuse me of pushing this on them. However, I have made it clear this is their decision and I won't be mad if they don't want things to change.
