      I love how they always bring up past relationships. Whether it be yours or theirs. When I'm dating someone, or in a serious relationship with someone, aside from giving a brief summary of my past and how certain ex's left me or hurt me, I never want to bring them into my new relationship. Cluster B's seem to constantly be comparing or competing with ex relationships. Clearly they aren't over whatever they went through with those ex's and must assume you carry the same emotional baggage? I'd never been with someone who talked more about past relationships than I had with my Cluster B ex. Red Flag for sure!!
      The only time I did that was immediately after my Cluster B ex discarded me and I tried to get into a new relationship. I was clearly damaged. It wasn't healthy and I felt terrible about what I was doing to the girl, so I ended things.
      I guess it's just modus operandi for them. When I'm with someone I like or eventually love, they're the only person that matters. My ex's are ex's. Period.

How about the context wherein she never accuses him of being combative, never accuses him of destroying her property, never accuses him of being verbally abusive around her daughter. How about the context clue that he feels it’s necessary to record this conversation due to past threats she has made. How about the context clue where she states she’s going to call the police if he doesn’t leave then calls her mother and her mother understands she’s overreacting and she gets upset with her mother ...her mother I’m sure has had to deal with her in the past , how about the fact that she wants him to leave then spends a long period of time attempting him to understand why he needs to stay and asking him why... when he clearly states it’s because she’s verbally abusive, combative, lies, kicks him out every chance she gets, accuses him of cheating if he doesn’t immediately text back when she wants, destroys his property , and has threatened to leave his property out in the rain.

      Light Mama It’s when the victim gives back simple 1 word responses and no longer feeds them the emotional reactions that they need to survive. Gray rock method is simple monotone “yes”, “no”, I don’t know.” Its keeping a stone face and not taking any of the verbal bait they throw your way. It drives them crazy because they’ve once deemed us as grade A supply and now they can’t get a second of our attention. It starves the demon inside and it doesn’t take long.

I think it's getting better though through much prayer and work on restructuring my disturbed identity. This lady helped make a better man out of me, no matter what, mostly since I went no contact and regained the ability to start reconnection with myself. It's been difficult with nobody really to talk with who I can trust though. My own loved ones know the truth, the few left, but I still don't trust anyone too much after seeing how some people can flip. That's been really weird. I need to gain everything internally but also need to reconnect socially with others. I haven't even wanted to walk down the street. I used to walk all the time. Fear of triggers I think.

      @@propagandatechniques Anytime, & I completely relate regarding her making a better man out of you, as my ex helped identify deep wounds within me that would've otherwise never been discovered. So while these kind of relationships are extremely painful for the empath when they come to an end, they are blessings in disguise because ultimately we come out stronger than ever. Obviously, we have to put in the work to get to that point, which is more or less ongoing, but it's all worth it. I 100% relate to you on having trust issues with others, but it does gradually get better. We are just much more aware of red flags now & much more guarded with disclosing info to just anybody. Visualize yourself emerging stronger, wiser, and more understanding on a daily basis, & you will eventually get there! Wish you the best man & yes, even though we were the ones to endure the brunt of the hurt during the relationship, it feels like a slap in the face to realize all the additional difficult work we must sift through after the relationship. However, take it as a compliment because not all individuals have the fortitude to do that internal work & make it out on the other side.

When you're literally at a crossroads in your relationship & have come to understand/accept that your partner will not take accountability for their actions & therefore will have no incentive to even considering altering their behaviors, it's downright devastating as it's someone you cared for, gave your heart to, & envisioned a future with.

    I was in the same situation as this guy a year ago and am still feeling the pain. I went about things a bit differently though. I actually went to the police in advance the day before I planned to leave. I expected the worse and knew that she had kicked out her last partner who I noticed still has some of his stuff in the house. So I can fully understand about wanting to get all your stuff out in one piece. This is why a lot of people do it while they are out. It's not to be cold. It's simply to avoid a lot of pain and headache. I myself decided to tell her straight up that I was leaving but it got messy. She even got her parents involved which costed me a nervous breakdown. I managed to get my shit and get out eventually though. It took all the strength I had. The hardest thing was the fact that I still loved her back then and even now. It's incredibly hard with a covert narcissist because the abuse is so subtle. It makes you question the relationship over and over, especially when you think of the good times. I don't know how I've maintained no contact for so long

    This doesn't sound like a narcissist.. they aren't emotional, they don't have empathy. This woman is a clearly Borderline Personality - she is mentally unstable. It's similar to narcissism but not the same. However, I don't think you can totally blame it on her, you do not know the dynamic and they fact that this guy is recording her.. well no wonder he sounds so calm and collected. Do you actually think he would be freaking out while he records it? I do believe HE is also a Narc, he is using this to gaslight this woman and talk in this calm/collected way.

The children were old enough, and it was time to let go of wasted years of trying to love someone who couldn't be loved, at least not by me. I told him: "You leave me this time, I'm not taking you back," I knew he would finally know that we would never be together again, and that he was the one who decided to leave. I was totally calm, and helped him get the boxes and pack his stuff, and helped him load his truck up. I was good about it.

    Listening to this was painful.. My ex discarded me, and as I'm listening to this I can see how I may not have reacted in the most healthy way (I've been going to a psychologist and had all my feelings and reactions validated so that's not the point), but this guy just reminds me so much of me.
    "Why did you stay in this relationship?"
    -"Because I love you."
    "And why did I stay in this relationship? Because I love you. Yes I do."
    -"You certainly don't show it".
    This is exactly how I felt with my ex. She said she loved me, even up until the day of discarding me and then proceeding to act like I was nothing to her with the push of a button. With the flick of a switch she had replaced me with another guy (that I encouraged her to make friends with because she was so toxic and couldn't keep friends, go figure lmao) and didn't even care to show me even a modicum of respect and decency. Time and time again I admitted my faults and tried to work on my issues and be a better boyfriend and fiancé, but she would never. And even if she admitted faults somehow I ended up making promises to change. The constant gaslighting, lying and manipulation. Saying I'm raising my voice at her, saying I am getting angry etc. It was all projection. The constantly missing the point and steering the conversation away from actually getting somewhere, to just falling back into her berating me for some nonsense she invented in her mind just to control the narrative. I thought I was going crazy. Actually, for a time there I thought I was crazy and so lucky to have her in my life, little did I know that she was the sole reason for me being miserable and crazy.
    She cheated, and I ended up apologizing. She hit me, and I felt bad because she got sad when I pointed it out to her (as if she wasn't aware she was hitting me..). She guilt tripped me into leaving her the apartment and moving countries and she wouldn't even let me take my own damn pillow with me. Just years of crazy stuff and abuse and I never quite realized it until I was away from her for a month or so. I feel so unbelievably sorry for her. And she probably doesn't, and hasn't, thought of me for more than a couple of seconds since she discarded me. It is truly "out of sight, out of mind" for her.
    And even with all this, a part of me desperately wants her back in my life. That is a part of me I need to drown, to kill. Or it will kill me.
    We promised each other we would stay in each others lives and stay friends. Even with everything she did I meant to keep that promise and it would have been. so. damn. easy. for her to just show me a sliver of empathy (which, admittedly, she claimed not to feel for anyone) and respect and we could've remained in each others lives. But no. That was just too much to ask. I helped her with university stuff, I helped her with ideas of jobs and sorting out the apartment situation and tried to be a good man even though she treated me with disrespect. And she couldn't care less about my situation. She tried to use my paypal account (multiple times) and she refused to refund me or answer me. I could've had her accounts banned and could have cancelled the apartment contract instead of letting her take it over. She'll never know I had the power to make her homeless, but instead went out of my way to help her out. All for nothing.
    Goddamn you baby. Goddamn you.
    Typing out this comment (and tens, if not a hundred just like it) helps me organize the chaos I've been through. If you read this for whatever reason, thank you.

    Thank you Lord for that recording. I have one of my own when I eventually told my ex narc wife to pack her bags and leave the marital home asap. I literally poked a sleeping dragon when I did that. I wish I could send you my recording which is 10 times worse than that. I had 2 boys with this lady and that was the worst thing I ever did in my life because they had to witness nonsense all the time. I would be called "stupid fucking n....., asshole,peace of shit, you n... stink" in front of my kids, who by the way are blasian. I was sent to court and had to fight to regain my reputation because I was labeled the child abuser, drunken irresponsible dad that was a danger to my kids. The judge did not buy her antics and awarded me 50% custody so that I got the kids Sunday to Wednesday on the days that they have most of the schooling. When judge read the dissolution judgement and the fact that I would not have to pay child support, alimony etc..... she stormed out of court and I was the one left standing with her lawyer, even opening the doors and helping the same lawyer that was fighting to screw me over.
    The worst betrayal though for me was spiritual. I was kicked out of church and ostracized for years. No one would talk to me when I went to church and I know that she character asssinated me there all the time. When in court and asking her to work out a schedule so that I could go to church some of the times with the boys, her response was that I would never , ever go with the boys to church. Now what sort of Christian says that????.That's when it finally sank to me that I was in a spiritual battle with cold and heartless forces. It's still hard for me though to open up to my brothers and sisters in church after my ordeal. It's difficult to trust people that turned their backs on you when you needed them the most.
    I am a proud single dad now and am coming up to three years Narc free. One thing I must mention though is that I find that my situation has made me more attractive to the ladies, because unlike many black dudes, I take responsibility and everything revolves around my kids. So I hit a soft spot with the ladies but when I analyze all of them I come up to one conclusion. .....They are all narcs. I am a Narc magnet, that is why I am staying out of that dating scene for now.

    I think you are really wrong on this one. He is contradicting himself and gaslighting. “I didn’t say that I wanted to break up with you.” Yet at the beginning... he was breaking up with her. 🤔 And I have been in a relationship where my narcissist had a girlfriend for a year before I found out and when he moved out he said I shouldn’t change anything and we were “still together” but he was going to stay with his male friend. To find out more than two months later what had been happening and he could easily have made a recording like this and I’m sure has to make me seem illogical. They hide their lies well and will use a site like this to further mutilate their victim. I hear a woman confused, in pain, distraught, and trying to be fair and make sense of it. She can’t because what HE is doing doesn’t make sense. I’m sorry if you can’t hear that. That’s why narcissism is so scary. It’s easy to be the victim and portrayed as the problem. I feel sorry for her. I hope that he didn’t mess up her big exam... only a narcissist would choose timing like that. Why did you help him by making a video about it?? That’s cruel.

      Instead they use the knowledge against us and go into full all out nuclear weapon mode of conflict. They burn all bridges leaving the earth scorched in their wake when discarding us first.
      They orchestrate a preemptive strike on us without regard for us at all leaving us without closure in confusion and mental anguish.

    I think I'm going to have to go half and half on this 'recording'.
    When someone is recording a conversation, they would be very careful to make sure they are calm and they are level headed one over the other person.
    I think we should be weary of sent in recordings because of the simple fact that the one recording knows he/she is recording and its very easy to make themselves look like the one who hasn't/isn't the problem.
    I agree in the statements concerning the girlfriend but I am in disagreement with the 'so called' boyfriend who could possibly have acted the exact opposite in old situations and disagreements and who isn't really taking any responsibility in the difficult times in their relationship either.
    Whether your in a relationship with a narsassic personality or not, we all have a level of blame ourselves in relationships.
    This does not excuse what she has done or how she is acting but if we are going to nitpick at her reacting a certain way when finding out her boyfriend is moving out without her knowledge and getting upset is a little overboard.
    My point is, be weary of a man who premeditated this recording and decides to record this at a very hard, not knowing what hit ya kindof situation and sends it in....
    If you ask me, a narcissist would premeditate that, make himself look like the calm and rational one, send it into a utube audience and feel fulfilled doing it.
    Just because someone is reacting like her in this conversation doesn't make her a narcissist...
    Sorry, just my opinion and I kept an open mind for both parties.

    It's so hard to tell who is the narc here because they are so good at flipping the script! We dont know what's went on so for all we know she is tired and depleted and he has been the narc all along. He knew he was recording so naturally he will be on his best behavior. Mine tried this af ter watching videos about themselves they are even more cunning and are only learning how to act or not act and manipulate better. Mine did this do well I would get so upset but now since being away I'm myself again. They stuck out your light and give you their darkness. They are demon possessed and in agreement with darkness so can go back and forth between the both of you since you have soul ties. When mine recorded me it was at a point I was done and he wouldnt stop harassing and I told him I dont care anymore and leave me alone. He said see that's the real you come on let it out. You never cared I knew it. At that point I just didnt care what anyone thought anymore and said you want to call me crazy will be crazy. It really makes them mad when now instead of getting upset or trying to defend myself I say I never said I wasn't what's your point lol? It's too exhausting to deal with these people. Makes you into a person you wouldnt normally be under normal circumstances

    Currently devastated. Saw my ex-narcissist recently, haven't spoken to her in two and a half years and she had me believing for a week that she acted the way she did because she had anxiety. I was out with our mutual friend at McDonalds (he has seen me go through the whole ordeal, he knows she is a narc but stays friends with her) while he was at the table I was waiting for my food, and my ex walks in and sits with him. (Shit, I have to sit on that table next to them) My blood was racing, So I sat down and she asked rather sarcastically how I was. The chat didn't lead anywhere so she left, saying goodbye to my friend(and didn't order any food). A few minutes later she came back in and said to me "I need to know, why do you hate me so much" Her expression had changed from a shy smile to a heartbroken little girl.
    So I told her the reason I was so cross was that she left me out, and discarded me. Last time I spoke to her I was quite vile towards her, I was so cross at how she had treated me, our mutual friends and her ex partners and she didn't take it well and blocked me. I have since learned about Narcissism and never had the opportunity to talk to her with the amount of awareness that I have now, I felt indestructible but I did feel as if I had made a genuine mistake, because she acknowledged and apologized for how she was and all the mistakes she made with me and that she had an anxiety problem that she couldn't let anyone in and there was nothing I could have done to help. It did leave me feeling like it might have been the reason for her behavior all along, and maybe I had overreacted. She left saying "I think that's pretty much it" we both apologized, and she left the restaurant whilst my friend and the other customers had been listening in!
    After spending two and a half years trying to cut her out of my heart, she opened up a wound that I thought was healed, and got me thinking maybe I got her wrong, that she wasn't a Narc and that maybe she missed me and wanted to be friends again. But when I sent her a written apology via text and offered to meet up again to talk to her properly she declined. She still has be blocked on her social media. She ended the chat with "I think the talk was fine, I don't think there is anything more to say, lets just agree we are both different people and the past is in the past". I don't know what she was trying to achieve that night, was she hoovering, was she trying to lure me back in, or trying to have the last say...
    All I know is that I let my guard down and gave into her by contacting her(which I swore to myself I would never do). She made me think the person I thought she was in the beginning was coming back, that maybe we could work on things and move forward together. Now I'm left with the same dead end, and I feel like life was playing a cruel joke on me.

    This is exactly how my ex reacted the day after she hit me. I decided to leave because I had lived with her for a month and we fought constantly. I would NOT give any ground on the things she was saying to me. She said the same stuff about "this isn't what you do to someone you love".
    I wasn't leaving her completely, I was just moving back home. When I finally ended it - I told her that we needed space and that we had to hold on the engagement. In order for things to get back to being good she needed to decide to go to counseling or she would need to examine her actions and hopefully she'll come back to me buuuuuut she didn't.
    She texted me a couple days later to tell me we were done and would never come back from this and that she couldn't be with someone who would say they love someone but abandon them.

    Also another bit of advice I would give if you're in a situation like this is to not put any blame on them. Use 'I' statements and try to bring them down easily. This guy was smart in that he didn't break up with her on the same day he wanted to move out. You really need to think of the best strategy for your own health. This means getting yourself out of that toxic situation carefully. After they've accepted that you're no longer living with them and you're emotionally strong. Then break it off and prepare for no contact

She is definitely though highly reactive and needs to do some personal work. They both do. Good to hear this though. Thank you to your subscriber.

    Hi Michele, I like most of your videos because you show a pathway for empowerment instead of victimhood. You give really sound advice and clear breakdowns that help us understand so many of the narcissistic mental/emotional dynamics. However, I sincerely question the premise of this video.
    My narc ex-husband would stay totally calm and collected while he was pushing my buttons. The situation of the recorded guy's actions is totally provocative from the perspective of the female. His tone is smooth and calm. It totally reminds me of my narc ex who only considered himself when making decisions that impacted me. My ex didn't involve me in the decision making process. He always said it was easier to get forgiveness than agreement.
    Ok, so here's a guy who's packed and ready to move out. He didn't bother to inform his girlfriend - he's doing it behind her back. His girlfriend comes home unexpectedly and realizes what's going on. To her, it looks like he's leaving permanently and she has a really strong reaction. Geeze! I would too! In that moment, she's not prepared for what it means to their relationship and what it means to her well being financially as well as the huge emotional hole it will leave when she's having to suddenly cope with not having him in her life. I agree that she initially had a very emotional response by trying to damage his stuff, but she did stop and attempted to have a rational conversation with him. She did bring up past hurts. As you've said in many of your videos, victims of narcissist abuse, especially women, can become very emotional. We don't know her side of the story and what her history is. Some of us simply don't have the skills to handle this kind of stuff without a strong emotional reaction, especially if the female in the video is dealing with a narc who may have disregarded her earlier attempts to be reasonable with him. To critique her for not taking responsibility isn't the point given the circumstances.
    I'm not saying the guy should have stayed in the relationship. However, he's claiming that he loves her and wants to work it out with her. Ok, let's talk about cognitive dissonance because this is a perfect example of it - if I really "love" someone and want to make it work, would I just move out unannounced and have any expectation that they'd ever trust me again? Good relationships are built on trust, not power over dynamics. Moving out unannounced is a power over dynamic. If this is the level of respect he has for her well being, I fully understand why the relationship didn't work out. He's being totally unreasonable toward her and keeping a cool demeanor while he does it. Isn't this classic narc behavior? Covert narcs will go so far as to portray themselves as the victim in very convincing ways, this being one of them.
    From my perspective, the only time it's ok to move out unannounced is when there has been physical abuse. In that case, definitely plan your escape in secret. However, if one really cares about the well being of the person being left, then the departure plans need to include the person being left so they have a sense of stability that doesn't wreck them emotionnally. As awful as the dynamics in narcissistic relationships are, we should not stoop to bad behaviors ourselves. This is about self care. Who can hold their head up high when they've screwed someone, even if it's someone who has treated us badly.
    It is possible to leave bad relationships on good terms - well maybe not "good", but rather semi-cordial terms. The point is not to decimate the other person, the point is to move on so everyone involved can function in their lives. I did it with my narc ex because our child was small child when I left and I knew I'd have to deal with his dad for the next 12 years. It took me a total of 8 years to finalize the divorce after I moved out, but I sincerely believe that things would have been much more difficult for all of us because my ex-husband's spiteful revengeful behaviors that would have been provoked if I hadn't handled it the way I did. If I'd dumped him like the guy in the video dumped the female, my ex would have made my life hell and would have felt justified in doing it.

      Jeka Lambert he’s not discarding her. So he’s not gone through the whole narcissistic process. So he’s not the narcissist. It is not cognitive dissonance to love someone yet have to move out to avoid them. Presumably if you have children you know you still care about them when they’re at school?
      Also one of the hallmarks of narcissism is having poor object constancy. So something is either all good or all bad. I think that represents your attitude to young man’s situation.
