He says what happened to you? Is there a point when I can tell, he has decided he does not want to get better and is not planning to do so? I dont want to walk away but he is pushing me away so far and I just wonder how you all find the strength to continue the dance during times like that. If I leave, considering I have a narcissist for a father, and loved 3 other narcisst including the one I now love more than all the others combinedIm doomed to end up with another narcissist. Hi Genelle and welcome (-: There are exercises to deal with this type of behaviour in the chapter on limiting abuse in The Love Safety Net Workbook. I did giveand giveand do and do I hear it in him. I do love him. Its not a break up. Its all a work In progress for me but its starting to calm things in my home and keeping myself calm already.

He hates most people. 7 Be leery of future love bombing. That means I do as much as possible to surround myself with loving people, things I like to do, and time for myself to process everything in my life.

He feels no guult and does dent his bisexual lifesyle. Meanwhile the lunatics are still carrying on the same as before, just with whoever will tolerate them, those poor people have my sympathy. The only way to reach someone like this is through the pain of consequence. This can be a sudden outburst of anger or passive aggression. I know I have the strength to give him more than I expect to get from him. Well things have obviously been pretty delicate since then and Im keeping a healthy distance but we have in the last few months been repairing our relationship. No matter how soul destroying this type of relationship can be, your experience of this disorder being incurable is not ours and the DSM has also recently been updated to change their position on this.

I told him dozens of times I would not put with him spending so much time with her and talking to her on the phone every day, and he says theres something wrong with me that I dont accept their friendship. He confides a lot of intimate things to her first before telling me its the whole emotional infidelity thing. It really helps!! I told him that I would, because of your advise, & I was so scared to follow through, but I did. This is often referred to as "love bombing." Ive become a new strong women and he has become a new man. When I speak up he makes me out to be the crazy one! I thought that maybe I missed reading something. They sound like clear boundaries you can put in place while helping yourself(sorry if I have missed or misunderstood something in your previous comments). I do feel much more grounded. I also take a supplement called laminine (amino acids & FGF) that helps regulate my hormones and neurotransmitters which get out of whack with the roller coaster ride of living with a narcissist and it helps them as well with theses issues eggoflife.com/jseals. But now, we are looking at the possibility of him losing his business and losing out home. I dont tolerate stupidity anymore, from myself nor others. Hi Michelle, I cannot urge you strongly enough to purchase Back From the Looking Glass. A good way to understand how to make a narcissist miserable is to spring the occasional surprise on them. My phone broken, the destruction on my car, my stolen pics, do I just have to let go. So that is something that should raise a warning flag in their mind, if for no other reason than to cover their own butt. Stay away from anyone who will judge and criticize. This is going to be quite interesting to get a hold of. I wonder if the women he is having affairs with are married? He returned to the USA and after two years and 3 visits, I accepted his proposal. He was smart knew the language to make him look sincere.and maybe a piece of him wanted to be. I knew him for 6 years. Before he comes begging her back! And this already had effects. I wonder if maybe there is something else you wish to gain in doing so.?. I love him deeply to this day. I did and you talked to her on her birthday and I was so glad you made her feel loved. Weve been together 7 years. He can have what he calls a bad day or two a week where I suddenly become his punching bag and then when I say hey, dont talk to me like that, he tells me how I brought it on and how I dont have any clue what he goes through at work etcyet he says he loves his job and wants to give his best!?!? One of the most frustrating things about living, loving or working with a person with the signs of Narcissistic Personality Disorder can be their lack of accountability.

Sounds great, but if all others enable, they do not bear the consequencesany wisdom on how to get his family/my family to stop enabling him so I am not assaulted again? They say they are sensitive, but the behavoir is undermining and abusive and can rip a person to pieces, even if they keep their cool, underneath that one can see that they are seething, but they will never admitt it. Hi John I really feel for what you are going through. Although it was his decision, not mine, he recently said that he felt abandoned by me before he abandoned me. It is ridiculous to have to kiss his royal rear end cuz why? When he starts calling me cheater and liar and states lies as facts no point to argue?? What you need is a 100% clear no nonsense boundary that you are in control of not him. I could never imagine that the sweet kind generous woman I promised to love for the rest of my life, could be so deliberately hurtful, so callous and full of spite and disregard for my feelings. Hey Hazel You really need to work through the 10 Steps to Overcome Codependence and The Love Safety Net Workbook. Oh yes! A prime example is being at a social event with your narcissistic partner; a guest casually mentions a personal achievement. I do feel very disappointed in him because this is our second go-around and this time marriage happened. That doesnt mean you need to give in to their bad behaviour; instead of trying to hold them accountable (which wont work anyway), consider making them face the consequences of their mistakes. He does have a good side, but I am beginning to wonder which is the real him. Can we now part?! Well, we choose USA because of the lesser age discrimination at the work place we are both over 50. Kim, what is the natural consequence for ongoing, deliberate, hostile silence that is simply meant to punish? Its perfect in every way. Hi Kim, I have come across this Blog today, and I can relate to so, so much. Telling me Im stupid if I dont like his music, TV shows, food tastes etc. He has different roles for different situations. In hopes that others may see and be able to decide what is best for them. Giving him boundaries didnt help him and made him feel more alone. Now hes drinking more and loves to stay high. My blood pressure is now normal again and I like myself again. I will be fine. I have not used these technics as of yet. Im here to look for tools, connect with people with common problems, AND offer my unique story as well. As for the promise, I finally had to stand my ground. Unfortunately he died 2 years ago. What you want is for his doctor to understand that he may be held responsible if he does not take your letter seriously. When someone is being selfish and KNOWS theyre being selfish or not accountable for bad behavior, I really want them to understand how mean and hurtful theyre being, and how theyre creating fallacies merely to rationalize it to escape blame. Trying to Make the Narcissist Accountable is Keeping You Hooked. It will put all of these blog pages, information, and the events and/or what is happening within your life into a healthier perspective. Could I have returned to Germany? I am wondering why Kim hasnt responded to meI immediately think, as he and his friends do, that it is because I am to blame for his leaving. That is a hard task I know and only really happened with Steve once basically he was cornered. We have not had a fight or argument for over 6 weeks! I came across this information 4 yrs. I have adopted his ways of thinking. I pray my own daughter never marry a man like. My question is, it would be great to rely on someone else (police, doctor, etc) to deliver the bad news to him about his behavior, but the things my husband does are too mild for that. Not throwing it in his face but letting him know that he is not the only person in my life. I am looking for feedback hereI want to work on myself. The saddest part is to deal with our son who copies his father, takes no responsibilty for his own behaviour and impossible to reason with most of the time. Over the christmas break, whilst my daughter was with her dad, I spent 3 fabulous days with his daughter and him only to find on the last day being rushed out of the house so that he could watch a rugby match with his best mate with no idea when Ill see him again. I simply say thank you for the suggestion,but I got this. I stopped wanting him to respect me, my sacrifices, and started asking myself to do it. I have been living his desires for all these years. They are give and give. I am tired of him doing that and am trying to set boundaries. Hi Butterfly and welcome (-: I understand your feelings entirely but here on this blog we do try and leave the decision to stay or go up to peoples own hearts if only because it is one of the very few places people who dont want to separate can come to get help. Lawyers have said to put all vehicles in my name. Each day I ask God for grace to get through my day. In this article I am not talking about rape, but about people who lie and put others down. Go figure) Well we have been arguing for months now about the fact that he wants to Do this together but he wont make any decisions as to the details of doing it together financially and we end up fighting every time we talk about it. I want to convey acceptance in this new activity which is actually appropriate but is not leaving time for us or home responsibilities. He started his job about 6 months ago, since then, he has changed the way things were previously done by pointing out to those in charge how things were un-safehe told me his co workers call him health and safety for a nick namehe doesnt realise how I soooo get the name they have given him and I am afraid he has said too much at work. Once you obtain that, the cloud hoovering overhead will become smaller and smaller the sense of freedom and relief will ease and bring peace to your heart, mind, soul, and with Kim & Steves teachings overcoming our own gap work will ease putting strong boundaries in place. If he gets caught off guard when the police question him what is he going to say, that you keyed your own car?. I dont have another day to waste with him. I thought we had a strong attachment but I found out last week that he has been having affairs with several different women. 3) You wanted to clean up your credit and had a car repo on it. Ive had to allow my spouse to suffer the consequences of his behavior many many times and he continues to make the same ones over and over again. Everyone loves him.minus his employees. When i got my head together, i never respected a damn thing about this type of person, and found them to be utterly repulsive and pathetic. Then I will return to my friend and find a little bit more have changed since the last time and I pray alot too. Leaving can set of behaviour you might not be expecting and it is best if you are prepared. If i was a cheating, lying, deceitful, manipulative, coniving snake.. i doubt id ever want to take a good look at myself. 2) When returning from you deployment you told me your ex-wife was coming to town and bring the kids so they could see you. Hi Carol Welcome! I have said this before but setting a boundary with a promise is like thinking you have built a fence by drawing a line and asking your horses not to cross it. Or just the other day, he said he got a call from Monica, a cheque bounced. Hi Kim. Most of our issues now revolve around money. Did not EVER think he would leave me. Protect your kids! As long as we feel the need for validation from them, we are still in that trap of hoping for real emotions and caring from these people, and there is nonejust more manipulation for their own gratification. He called and apologized once he had this revelation. Dealing with a narcissist is dealing with a bully. He has money in his name too so its fair. They are perfect for him.his puppets. Matthew and I also go to marriage therapy once a week.this is the therapy that can be super hard, as my husband is such a great liar, charmer, manipulator, etc. (they seem to have a hard time understanding the grief I am experiencing, for starters!). However he keeps asking for more and then tries to blame me for having credit and being able to handle my finances as if it is my fault he cant handle his. Obviously, it does nothing and never has. I didnt handle it right, I got upset and was hurt and we had an allniter fight again. This is craziness! I only hope I will be safe in doing so. Your openess and willingness to help is a wonderful breath of fresh air when one has been suffocating in a toxic relationship. I asked, if you could come to where I was living so I could still do some packing and getting the move ready. 18) When I got a fever blister on my lip, because I had been so beyond stressed, you told me that women get it from sucking to much . I am so glad to know about it! Its a hard call to make but its your choice. I havent said anything yet.. The guy Im living with even wrote 2 books and the first one he is actually describing the messiah (him). It is the unhealthy part of their thinking. This is certainly difficult. I dont think the answer to the question of rape is simple. I have the same questions as TANYA and also wonder where to start, do i say I love you and forgive you and just start? I have tried to work thru this with him and have seen a small improvement thanks to the advise from Kim and steve but he is so beyond any reality and reasoning that I have to do what is best for my children and myself. Actions speak louder than words (-: However, I found that by justing leaving the situation, he was finally able to see it on his own, after life gave him hard knocks which took him off his pedestal and he realized ON HIS OWN when the same thing was done to him by another, how wrong his behavior was. I am hesistant as his actions around the birth of our boy showed him to be absent and immature with a failure to own his own behaviour. Your solutions have always been the right way to handle my N husband. I saw that and I used that knowledge to my advantage. etcthen says he is not violent. Well I read almost everyones comments and I am glad I am not alone. How to Know If a Narcissist is Finished with You: 9 Sure Signs. I bought your book about 18 months ago, started working on myself and learning how to deal with a man like him and, and I am thrilled to say, we have both made major progress. I loved him so much and I am still involved with him to an extent as we share property and pets. So unless youve got some ideas I dont know what to do except to talk to our doctor and see if they have any ideas that might help., I cant be late for work again and so I am sorry I cant drop you off today., I dont know how to handle you when you get so angry at me, and so from now on I am going to need to get someone who knows know how to handle angry people (the police?) His escaping from commitment, especially that we r far now made me obsessive and jealous. I dont see any additional archives. 3. Ive analyzed this thing a zillion times, gone to therapy, gone to grief groups and have come to the conclusion that Im just going to accept that I call him. I dont want my children to marry a person like him. I need to know how to respond or do I respond? Aue, what to do when theres a little one involved? Ive been involved with a total narcissist. The problem is that with the upcoming deployment time is very limited and decisions have to be made. I see Absolutely zero accountability for his very mean abusive behavior from him and no desire to do so either. Do Narcissists Like To Be Held Accountable? Narcissists need to be the center of attention at all times. No amount of behavioural changes will alter that brain function however if the N person needs you in their life I think you will be able to make the relationship work by managing the impact of their cognitive disability on your self. Was left for me is to accept the real him and stop falling for the fantasy of who I would like him to be. 5. Non sexual but emotional. My guy and I are apart a lot of the time but he still managed to be emotionally and mentally abusive to me after the honeymoon period of our relationship ended. The ultimate problem within them is selfish pride. I can give up on accountability for most of her behavior, but the alcoholism HAS to stop. Problem is, long story short, he cannot apologise for any of the above and keeps pulling out old lines when I ask for support.along the lines of you wanted to have a baby, you deal with it. Just a quick note to let you know that reading your material (every bit of it) and then putting it into practice has changed my marriage. Like I said, I have been firm with establishing boundaries for myself in a calm and non-confrontational but stern manner, but he continues to violate them and refuses to speak to me. I will not protect him from repercussions of hurtful, moral wrongs, and what society accepts as odd behavior. He told her the other day that if she would be more involved then he would start putting that money towards her college fund! Who should be the person who deals out his consequences? I lost my job (third timeIm in sales) and times have been rough the last 9 months or so. I gave him a choice he choose wrong and he is definitely suffering the consequences. After a vew weeks he hit the wall just next to my head. Says I am a know it all and have too many opinions.He does revenge for things I didnt try to do. We are certainly not about stroking his ego, but you need to be cool and calm to put a new plan into action. What (they) choose to believe is irrelevant. This method of dealing with it is the only one that has any positive results. When I started realizing it all , I was panicking , feeling trapped each passing moment . I was taught at a young age to be a caretaker my grandmother choose me since I had patience. What do you guys/girls think? My avenue of communicating with him from closeness instead of opposition was shut down. I dont recommend this to anyone, but as his abuses escalated over a long period of time and never decreased, in addition to other factors, I very carefully planned and executed the plan to leave and divorce him so I could survive. My advice, run! I really think that Kim & Steves ebooks Back From The Looking Glass and The Love Safety Net Workbooks would benefit you, even with the separation. I do believe he misses meand he loves me as much as he is able to love, but this disability is cyclicand I am much too aware of his cycles. For years I was unwilling for those kind of things to happen, he was accountable he did not do the blaming thing. My head understands that his efforts and love were nothing but manipulation. Thank you Kim. Typical forms of narcissistic supply include sex, power, control, one-sided relationships with no accountability, compliments, subservience, obedience, admiration, and other requirements unique. I fortunately can deal with it all for the most part. You need to write a clear account of his behaviour that is concerning you from the perspective of him as a patient. This has been my experience of Narcissists. It is almost as if. Who does something like that to their kids? Really tough though. Narcissists are afraid of being rejected or abandoned.
