    My nex did that. He'd either do this fake ass apology after backtracking, or if he did leave the room he'd come back like nothing happened, and if I was (inevitably) still upset when he came back then I'd be the one starting an argument!! 😳 And you're right, it definitely opened it up for it to happen again and again. It was like groundhog day in hell. The same weird circular arguments all the time.

    My ex's favorite saying when I brought up something that he physically said or did was "that's your view of what happened, I see it differently". I was like you saying I didn't see with my own eyes or hear with my ears what was said or did? He'd say "yeah" that's how you interpreted what I did". I would be so confused as to why we both didn't see or hear the same thing. He rarely apologized for anything that he did or said, if an apology came it was days later and it was a half hearted one that was backhanded like, "I'm sorry I did x,y or z but u said this or that that's why I did what I did"🤦🏽‍♀️...

      I didn't think I would ever heal but I did 2 months after I kicked him out. Saw a text from a woman then found out everything- cheating and lying the whole 2 years. I cried, prayed, watched these videos, begged God to help me and joined a grief support group. My mom had just passed away also. I didn't think I was ready to date but I had to know if there was a good man out there. I knew Exactly what I was looking for and would not compromise or accept bs. I found a good man. Now the narcissist is trying to get me back after 2 months of no contact. All I can do is laugh at the stuff he comes up with. No narcissist can fool me again. This extremely painful experience had to happen to open my eyes and heal me from childhood trauma also. YOU CAN HEAL with God's amazing power and love.

      Those monsters always discard you on your lowest. Not sure if you were or not but they do the most heinous things during the most troubling times! The narc I used to deal with left me when I was mentally on my lowest and had lost my grandma, my dad and brother in law passed away 2 years prior, less than a week apart which felt like its was less than that. On top of that dealing with her bs my mind was so overwhelmed, then out of the blue I find out she was seeing someone else. I felt so awful, but thanks to that moment the fire in my soul turned into a torch, then a bright light. That clown did not expect me to be so revived after she wanted me to be beyond miserable.

    Yes, this has happened to me more times than I can count by every narcissist that has been in my life. The whole idea is sickening, and you are correct that they will try to force you to accept either that you deserve to be treated that way, or it wasn't a big deal if you won't dismiss it completely, but the biggest win is if they can convince you it didn't happen or at least not the way you claim that it did. My husband does this crap 100%. I'm trying very hard to get separate housing. I've painfully decided not to go take care of my mother who is elderly because she's a narcissist, also. Just when I think maybe she's changed (really stupid - but it's hard to accept your own mother is a narcissist), she will go right back to her tactics hard core. I have so many issues because of both of their garbage, it's awful. I'm trying to figure out if I need to just "disappear" to stop being abused.

    I would hear I told you that already. Ah, no you did not. Then to myself I would question myself. Sometimes I felt like I was losing it or else going crazy.
    Having a conversation about issues I felt worse because the whole conversation was flipped and I was the bad guy. I just wanted to resolve the why’s and how can we make things better. I walked away crying or when he started yelling I would say I’m not talking to you until you can calm down. Silence was golden for hrs sometimes days.
    I am free thank god!

He blamed me for his actions, he never really made me feel safe, secure and things just never got better, at least on my part. I have insecurities because of his actions and he always use my insecurities that he created against me. He never did the work to help me or us get to a healthier place, and we're still not in a good place. I believe he has mommy/daddy issues and Ex girlfriend issues and I'm catching hell. He really thinks he's norma. Lost myself/ confused.

    After he ran up on me with a gun and refused to admit to what he did and said that it had never happened, I've always wondered why he would never admit to it. Hearing you say that if they admit it, then it really makes them a bad person makes sense because he always professed/bragged about how peacful, calm, and slow to anger he was and him admitting to what he did would go against the lie that he told himself.

I just said yes and left- seriously do not want to be around him. I don’t think he gets it- I am pretty much done and can’t even cry anymore. Too many times- only gotten worse- seriously he was not like this when we married- at least I didn’t get it. When his brother died in front of him- he just full on went weird.

    I just want to say that your videos are so incredibly validating. For decades I didn't know what it was that I was experiencing. I couldn't understand the duplicity - how someone could rage one minute and then act like nothing happened 10 minutes later. He expected me to just "get over it" and if I wanted to talk about it, he would accuse me of being "argumentative". It was beyond confusing, and I didn't know how to label it except to say he was like "Jekyll & Hyde" - sweet & charming to the outside world, while being a moody, inconsistent, angry, deceitful, rage-filled monster behind closed doors. Just awful. Thank you for bringing awareness to this insidious personality type.

    OUTSTANDING. Thank you Ben Taylor so much.
    He was a platonic friend but for some reason I became his target. This video is precisely what he does. After a month I received a text stating he knew he’d been distant, and to “know that I think good thoughts of you. You are special.” While I knew something was up, this video helps me realize the ploy. My response was a day later after thinking about it. I calmly listed the cruel things he did, again, and that I do not believe his words of friendship bc they are 180 degrees from his actions. Now I understand that an apology is never coming. But at least he’s aware that I see through his mask. Checkmate bucko. If he needs a reverse dumping, he’s got it. You win. Okay. It’s yours. Now go away. I’m done. Thank you again Ben Taylor.

      Cut them off in October of 2018 after they kept texting,texting.
      I was at a "convention that week" told them,no contact until afterwards because I would be TIRED ( and narc mom died the month before).
      They was relentless with texting late with their sad,sob story about their life.
      Like what??
      That Sunday morning I had enough,FB messaged them I was exhausted from the week and NEEDED a few days to relax and would contact them later in the week.
      Why they go into narcissistic rage on FB...writing how an individual (so-called friend-me) doesn't have a moment to listen to them during their issues and needing a listening ear.
      Wait...WTF?
      I started the blocking,than deleting them on FB and phone numbers,text messages from cellphone.
      I've been off FB for two years,I check every once in a while to clear messages because these idiots (tagging) don't realize you're gone.
      Three weeks ago they sent me a "Friend Request".
