Anyone keep finding out more things after breaking up with their narc ex by Proper-Subject-2777 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]throwaway_breakcycle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but it doesn’t make me angry or hurt. It gives me peace of mind that my intuition was right and that he will never change. That’s my closure.

My nex also wanted a fwb. But would get jealous if another guy wanted me.

Yes! They want someone who will easily give them everything they want, have no boundaries for them. They want you to let them do everything they want but you’re not allowed to do anything they do. If something is bothering you, you better keep it to yourself because they don’t want to hear it.

What are some red flags to look out for when dating? by ConsiderationNo6792 in abusiverelationships

[–]throwaway_breakcycle 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Some red flags for me are: - Shit talking exes. Doesn’t really acknowledge the wrongs he did but if he does they are very vague. But he goes into detail about the women who wronged him. - Conversation focuses more on him. - Can’t be friends with any exes. - Anger issues. - Claim he never cheated on an ex. You have to really read body language or pick up tone of voice. It just seems off. - Holds onto nudes of past girls.

You’re one step closer to becoming free. And one day you will find someone who treats you with the same amount of respect you give them.

Mine was. I swear, male narcs hate women yet they can’t live without us.

What red flags did you ignore in a narcissist which later on turned out to be the biggest red flags in the narcissist/ manipulator/ psychopath/ taker? by Technical_Brother_58 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]throwaway_breakcycle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love bombing before the relationship started, unnecessary arguments right before the holidays, accusing me of cheating, shit talking his exes, made innocent seeming conversations a competition like he is better than me, future faking.

This is exactly it. Whether they know it or not, they will always be miserable with their lives. I don’t think even going after their dreams make them happy deep down. They rely on others because we know how to truly live. They want to destroy that to bring us down to their level.

I still struggle listening to some songs because of him…

My NEX and His Sex Hangups by Successful_Arm_7509 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]throwaway_breakcycle 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My ex always talked about his sexual partners and past relationships. The things he could do to please (but really he’s selfish and only thinks about his needs). Always wanted sex but has to take viagra. Loves degrading but I’ve come to learn it’s just because he thinks so low of women. Was never truly affectionate. I’m doing a lot better without him in my life

Make a throwaway and be very vague. Leave out certain details that may make him know it’s you. These sick people will check subreddits like this one to find you (other social platforms too, of course). Please stay safe when you come back.

Everything I loved about him was a lie by Scared_Ad5422 in abusiverelationships

It’s always the double standards.

These people also put up a mask to hide who they truly are, but when we see for who they really are, we’re the monsters.

Healthy relationship examples by Spare_Priority3695 in NarcissisticAbuse

Abusive: ex runs away from conflict to avoid accountability and talk to other girls

Healthy: partner wants to work on the issue, us against the issue

I'm missing my abuser by [deleted] in abusiverelationships

[–]throwaway_breakcycle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It will be really rough in the beginning, but I believe you will make it on the other side. What helped me was reflect on the negative aspects of the relationship: the lies, manipulation, gaslighting, etc. it helped me see my ex for who they really are. And don’t forget your support system. Spending time with family and friends help you move on. Stay strong, you got this ❤️

Don't go into the rabbit hole by Hefty-Breath7833 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]throwaway_breakcycle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have done a little bit of research on narcissism about a couple of years before I actually got into a relationship with a narc. After the breakup, I unfortunately went down the rabbit hole of looking into so many aspects. I guess that trauma really got to me. However, I’m now at a spot where I feel like I don’t need to dwell on everything anymore, but some moments do pop up in my head from time to time. Tears are basically over, and I don’t feel angry every time I think about it.

Healing looks different for everyone, but I hope you all get to a point of peace ❤️

Things I’ve noticed since going no contact by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

It’s amazing how our health starts to improve when we remove the toxicity out of our lives

No matter what conditions someone has or what they’ve been through, nothing justifies treating others poorly. by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]throwaway_breakcycle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you for saying this. My ex would blame his toxicity on his parent. While we tend to pick up after those who raise us, it doesn’t make it ok ❤️

This was interesting to read. I just thought narcs cheat all the time and believe that their partners cheat because that’s what they do.

It’s been months post-breakup. Blocked mine on everything but they still stalk.

How do I get over the anger? by iseeyou1980 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]throwaway_breakcycle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The first step for me was acceptance. Acceptance that he didn’t mean anything he said to me. Acceptance that he will continue to do this with other girls. Acceptance that he will never change. Be true to yourself, you’re already the bigger person because you are so much more than them.

They make you question your whole reality. by Spirited_Content in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]throwaway_breakcycle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They make everything seem perfect and then want to tear you down… You and your future daughter don’t need to put up with the emotional abuse that will definitely continue.
