    Why are there so many these days? It’s an epidemic. I was married to a narcissist for 47 years. It nearly killed my spirit. In the end he left me for a woman 23 years younger and during the divorce I found out nearly all the money was gone. I’m struggling financially and still working full time at age 70. I’ve never been happier in my life.

      I'm 66 and my 71 year old ex, after 33 yrs of marriage, has a woman in her 20s or 30s chasing after him with giddy delight. He gave me the silent treatment for decades, claiming he couldn't hear me. But he sure hears her when she talks at him while his back is turned. He turns around to talk to her. He would turn away when I spoke to him.

    After I started divorce proceedings, my now ex husband said, I must tell you I never did love you. My response really threw him off. I said that’s okay, I know I went into this with the right intentions and I loved you. But as I know you didn’t ever love me, it makes how all this turned out (the divorce) all that much easier and a good thing, so thanks for telling me that.
    My calmness and resolute demeanor infuriated him. He wanted his words to destroy me, instead, they set me free.

      My ex Narc contacted me after 13 years, 2 days ago,p. He has hit bottom, is literally dying, and feels everything he’s touched since has gone to shit, that he loves me, wants to be friends again now but only if we can never talk about “it”, the past. I told him I loved him and wanted to be friends but that was not a good way forward for me. That it would never work and would be taking a step back 13 years. He immediately went into a rage, “you think it’s all about you” etc…”people tried to warn me about you”, “nobody likes you” , everything he said 13 years ago while he was being a mean drunk. So then I told him I couldn’t be around him if he was drinking anymore because he always verbally abuses me, and again, cuz I’m a judgmental bitch, etc…I can’t believe it only took him 2 minutes to explode again at me after 13 years of no communication. Thinks I’ve cursed him into loneliness because I said he would die old and lonely 13 years ago. It didn’t take a psychic reading. He’s now dying old and lonely and he thinks it’s my fault. See how tricky and manipulative they are? Yep, a no win situation, yet they accuse you of being the game player that has to win. Aargh! These vids sure help!

Their border is closed thanks to COVID, so she can't come here. I closed my email address (what a pain as I had had it for almost 15 years), and opened a new one with a completely new service, completely new name (nothing like the previous one), and just closed the door on her, entirely. She can't call me as my phone services (cell and land) won't allow international calls. I'm at peace for the first time with her in 30 years.

      Yes. My narc ex lied to me, stole from me, acted like he was my intellectual and moral superior, gaslit me and probably cheated on me (never knew for sure, but honestly don't care much now) and then was completely gobsmacked when I broke up with him. Not being married or living together made it much easier to cut him out. He told me that I wouldn't find anybody else who would love me. My ( not narcissist)now husband thinks that's very funny.

      @@davidoaikhena4380 when mine moved out, he went straight to my brother's house (and lived there for a couple of weeks)! I couldn't believe it. I left it alone (no contact). It didn't take long for his true colors to show. My sister-in-law put him up in a studio apt at a complex she managed. Within a few months, he burned all of those bridges and my family and I got stronger. I know that isn't always the case and I am grateful. I also know that it took staying out of it and letting them figure it out. If I had kept the drama going by trying to convince them of his ways, it just would've been used to manipulate me and provide supply. This was in March 2018; he since has lived in 4 different places, our divorce was finalized, he got married to a girl young enough to be our daughter, he beat her up, got arrested for dv, and is now in the process of divorce (this is his third-he is only 38 yrs old).

When I pulled back and started ignoring him for my own sanity, he started distroying ll my clothing by putting spots of oil on the front or food stains, look like he is rubbing the soles of his shoes on the sleeves, pickinng holes in the material that run when i wash them, cutting seams open...i found he has an exacto knife. I took it, he found it, and things got worse. My hair is so thinning from whatever he is putting in my shampoo that thickens it. i have to buy it constantly and hide it but he finds it. ther is so much more but now I know it is not me at least! 75 in jan, no family that bothers with me, no friends, isolated basically to my bedroom to keep watch ovr my things. does anyone else experience this type of behavior?

    @vidarignault4437 Před 3 lety +1428

    I was married to a Narcissist for 58 years. Having led a very sheltered life, I married at age 19 and It only took about 2 months for me to realize that I had made a huge mistake and that in fact, the person I fell in love with never existed at all!! But being as young and naive as I was, I thought I could make it work and proceeded to have four, beautiful children which I raised more-or-less on my own, as their Father was emotionally absent and was of the opinion that the raising of the children was not his job. It wasn’t until more than 25 years into the marriage, which continued to become more and more difficult with time, that I heard the word Narcissist and began to educate myself via videos like this one. I read everything I could get my hands on and was most flattered to learn that I had been doing the right thing all along using only my intuition!! As an only child, there was no way I could leave him - I had nowhere to go and by that time I was too old to support myself. When he retired and was at home 24/7 things got a lot worse. He began to try to micro- manage me and to put me down in front of others and in public. I think this might have been because he realized I was onto his game and refusing to play it any more. He was losing control and reacted with more narcissistic rage than ever!! I even had to call the cops for him one night, as there were signs that he was getting physical. He was at the door all dressed up to meet them on their arrival, while I sat quietly on the couch and waited to be questioned. The cops saw right through the whole scene and warned him that two more calls of that nature and the City would file charges. It was the best thing I ever did, because that scared him to where he was very careful about what he did after that. His health began to decline (he was a diabetic) and it seemed as though he just imploded after that. I stood my ground, and the minute he began to throw one of his tantrums I would remove myself, go upstairs to my room (he moved out of the bedroom years earlier) and lock my door. By this time the kids were all grown and gone, thank goodness, so I looked after him until he passed away 10 months ago. But I remained aloof emotionally and felt only relief when he died. My reason for sharing my story is to prove than you CAN distance yourself even if you can’t leave for whatever reason(s). It takes strength and courage, but it can be done and you will come out of it stronger for the experience. You might ask why I am still watching these videos now that he is gone: for the sheer joy of validation!! It feels so good to know that I did the right thing and came out on top!! Not only was I the victim of emotional abuse for years, but of financial abuse as well. Money was his God, but he couldn’t take it with him and now I am comfortably taken care of, so it paid off in the long run. Thank you for your videos!! Knowledge is power and I often pass them along to others who I think would benefit from listening to your advice. As a matter of fact, I often find myself shaking my head in agreement of many of the things you are saying!! Validation can be as satisfying as revenge!!

I had to learn not to react to all the abuse, because that was what he fed on, so I would host ignore him and not say a word. That was the hardest thing, and I have to confess every once in a while I would lose my temper and lash back at him. A few times I was able to win the argument by adopting some of his own techniques and that really threw him for a loop. But the sad part of all this is that he absorbed 58 years of my life that I could have shared and been happy with someone else, so I am urging those of you that are able to get out, to go as soon as you can and don’t waste you life on someone who does not appreciate you!!

I have been accused - falsely- of everything my narc is. I have questioned myself often. However, in the midst of that questioning I have always seen the truth, too. It's not me. Now I am in a season of breaking away. I know most will be fooled by her shenanigans, but I refuse to be. God knows me. He knows my life. He knows my cooperation with his will in my life. He knows my walk of maturing with him. He knows my willingness to grow. So, guess what? I'm good. My narc does not control me and I'm done.

    Breaking up with a narcissist is a whole lot of asking the question in your mind, “why the hell do you act like this and treat me so badly, if what you want is to be close to me?” I will never, never understand why they choose to be so damn nasty, invalidate you, put you down at every single opportunity, and then are surprised when you don’t want to even be around them. They expect you to still want to be around them. It’s crazy making and twisted!

    Abuse is abuse period. When they abuse you verbally by raging at you psychologically by gaslighting you or physically Never ask yourself what you did to deserved to be treated that way. NEVER. Even if you made a mistake and the person is hurt, there are constructive ways to solve the issues. If every difficulties were solved through violence the world would be a complete mess. So no matter what you did you still deserved to be respected never accept that someone abuse you just because you made a mistake.

    She selected me. She spent 2 years trying to convince me she was something she wasn't. I became committed to her, and once she recognized this, she wanted to change me. When she finally realized she could not manipulate me to accept her narcissistic mindset and I pulled away, she simply treated me as her enemy.
    It's important to recognize that they were never the people they presented themselves to be. They always saw you as the enemy. They only seek you out because they envy your genuine qualities, of which they have none. They don't want you; they want what you have. Just know that the narcissist seeking you out is validation of your valuable qualities. Make sure to only give your gifts to people who deserve them.

A few years later he called me and insisted that he broke up with me, but was willing to forgive me and take me back. I decided not to challenge that and just refused to see him. I just about died laughing after hanging up and soon after that I got a new phone number. Haven't talked to him since then, though he has tried to hoover me through my brother and sent me a friend request, which I blocked, on social media (despite the fact that my profile clearly states that I am now married).

But my experience is that my narcissistic father knew exactly what he was doing. That is why he was able to fool the outside world into thinking he was a nice and charming man. If a narcissist would have really been oblivious about their behaviour, then they wouldn’t have felt the need to hide it so badly. My experience is that my father knew exactly what he was doing.

      Agree with you. Two major experiences: narcissistic mother and husband (naturally I married one). Mother also put on her charming personality for outsiders. I and siblings commented on that. Her siblings had her committed after a meltdown. She had electroshock treatments. Afterwards she stated, “ok, I Don’t like that. I’ll behave now.” And she did! Made sincere efforts to change narcissistic behavior. Husband revealed his assholeness, I challenged his lying to me before we married. He stated, “Of course I lied and hid who I am. I knew you wouldn’t have married me if you had known who I really am so I had to pretend to be a person you would want.” I fucking despise narcissists. Soulless evil creatures.

      Eva Mout:
      Your dad may have known what he was doing and just not given a damn. Self-absorbed people are that way. Their enablers reinforce this behavior and way of thinking by allowing them to repeatedly get away with -- even approving of it. Early on, the narc may be able to change; but as they get older, they reach a point of no return and are not able to change even if they want to. Ecclesiastes 11:9-12:1-12 explains what happens to us if/when we don't mature. Maturity, plainly and simply is "Do unto others as you want others to do to you." We all know that we want to be treated kindly.

      Hi Florie, I have almost the exact experience. It is frustrating when they will not admit their wrong doing and then on top of that punish you on the side. You can feel very much on your own with no one understanding. I now know my family are just pretending not to understand due to the fact they are all working together !

    I have been involved in 2 narcissistic relationships in my life, and I had no idea what the hell was going on until I was deeply involved in the relationship, and I'm telling you, what a nightmare they were. It is absolutely devastating the long term affects these people had on my life. The abuse of the situation leaves you feeling absolutely worthless and dumbfounded in that they make you think that you are crazy. And after many years, too many years, I have finally learned that these people are impossible of any change or accountability for their actions, because they can't change what they do not own of themselves. So you can love them all you want. But all the love in the world will not get you out of a relationship like this. You have to pretty much treat this as null and void. They have to be dead to you. Or they will surely have no problem leaving you broken in a million pieces, and not flinch. So learn the red flags immediately. And run for your life. Literally, run!

      THAT, is a big AMEN... There are red flags... They get close to you too fast, flatter you... Ask a lot of questions about your life saying they just want to know all about you, but it's really good ammunition later. They STUDY you and your likes to disarm you quickly so you will fall for them fast and ignore..... Red flags. Say just an off day, EVERYONE deserves second chances., Right!!! Then a second, third... By then they already have you hooked. Your confused, dazed and confused good. They do things for you only to remind you off what they did... Buy you something you didn't ask for, ONLY to say your an ingrate if you don't just Love it and go on an on about it.... How if you REALLY loved them... You'd do x..y.. Or z! They QUESTION everything and accept no answer YOU give them, but if you don't accept what they say even when you have proof they are lying... It's HOW DARE YOU NOT BELIEVE ME, I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU, WHY CAN'T YOU JUST BELIEVE WHAT I TELL YOU????? RAGING, YELLING, SLAMMING THINGS AROUND AND INTIMIDATING YOU AND STOMPING AROUND LIKE A TWO YEAR OLD TRYING TO SCARE YOU AND DOING A GOOD JOB OF IT!!!! Driving CRAZY to scare you, also no one else knows how to drive right... Yelling just missing someone's bumper. Can't keep jobs...7 in about a year, can't get along with people, they are all stupid!!! Don't do THEY'RE jobs right, not fast enough, or just doing something wrong in they're stellar opinion.... So they quit or get fired. YOUR whole family and most friends say they see something bizzare in this guy, they just can't put they're finger on it, but they don't like or TRUST him!!!!!!! ALL in agreement👍🕊️😳💥
      Does that sound ABOUT right?
      I won't even get into the sex, which they lie about also.... No good, or CAN'T!!!

I realized that one of us was going to end up in prison, and the other in a dirt nap, just didn't know who would end up where. I didn't like the options, so that's when I realized that I have to be strong, and just go to the point of 'I don't care anymore, I'm gone.'

      I was hurt and heart broken when a very big problem occurred in my marriage seven months ago, between me and my wife . so terrible that she took the case to court to file a divorce. She said that she cannot continue to stay with me again, and she said "I don't love you anymore" So she took her things out of the house and made me and my children passed through several emotional pain. I tried all my possible means to get her back, after much begging, but all to no avail. and she confirmed it that she has made her decision, and she never wanted to see me again. So one evening, as i was coming back from work ,i meant an old friend of mine who asked of my wife .So i explained every thing to him, so he told me that the only way i can get my wife back, is to visit a prophet to know what is really behind this issue, because it has really worked for other people too. So i never believed in spell, but i had no other choice than to follow his advice. Then he gave me the Email address of the prophet. prophetehiagwina @gmail .com. So the next morning, i sent a mail to the address he gave to me, and the prophet respond the following day and assured me that i will get my wife back the next day. Hopefully I believed since my friend recommended me to him, ,so we discussed and told me everything that i need to do. Then the next morning, So surprisingly, my wife who didn't call me for the past 7 months, gave me a call to inform me that she was coming back. So Amazing!! So that was how she came back that same day ,with lots of love and joy, and she apologized on her mistake ,and for the pain she caused me and my children. Then from that day ,our relationship was now stronger than how it were before ,by the help of a prophet . So, i will advice you out there if you have any problem contact PROPHET EHIAGWINA, i give you 100% guarantee that he will help you.. Email him at: prophetehiagwina @ gmail. com or call/whatsapp +2348139182295

    That's right. Narcissists believe they are the parent and you are the eternal child...and the moment they sense that you don't need them...is when they start giving you speeches about your supposed rebellion and bad attitude. It's how they regain their status over you, by making you the bad guy that has rejected their insight into your life. But they will turn up the parenting talk until you submit. The narcissist will always see you as the stubborn outcast child that rejected their parenting.
