      Yes, it is. A systematic way of torturing... And the thing about it is it's specific to you. So no one else even understands or nose what he's doing except the two of you. Even a certain look that he would give me when other people were around to make me react, and sometimes I did. So then it just looks like I was going crazy on him for no reason. And during this time I also had cancer so I was in a lot of pain. Anyway. I had cervical cancer which he used to blame on me saying it was because I had too much sex when I was younger. How insane is that?

    1) Narcissists enjoy manipulating and controlling others, including withholding certain things to torment their victims.
    2) They withhold affection as a form of punishment and to maintain control in the relationship.
    3) Narcissists may withhold the truth or not tell the entire truth, which can include omitting important details.
    4) They may withhold sex as a form of control and to torment their partners.
    5) Narcissists may withhold resources, such as money, information, or emotional support, as a way to maintain power and control in a situation.

      Omg, my partner did exactly this to me ,only a few weeks ago, she took a rather casual photo of me in a local bar, refused to send it to me, then asked what I wanted it for ?
      She then defaced it, before sending it to me, with a stupid hat and moustache on the photo, I hate having my photo taken ! She did eventually send me the original after weeks of drama.

      I was glaring: finally it is clear!!! After that: the emotional swing: let me hug you. I didn't mean that.
      But no further actions taken. I knew nothing of the narcissism back then...
      Finally, when I started looking for my own apartment to rent:I realised, I want a family with you, I need us.
      No getting back to the topic within a few weeks.
      Further: a comment to our relative: I don't like her. She is wearing such an improper clothing at home.
      The day after, trying to hug me and being asked by me to get away- Why don't you let me? Who am I living with?? Where shall I go...
      If not for shared custody and lack of a free housing for herself, I would go long time ago.

    I've been married for 20 years to my husband and we've been together for 29 years. I met him when I was 17 years old and he was 21. Well to make it short for about the past 10 years after birth of our 4rth child he has been withholding emotional intimacy. He says I don't deserve to be kissed anymore because of lying about partying with my friends when I was in college. During college he was very controlling so i wouldn't tell him when I went out with friends just to dance. I'm a dancer and it's a passion for me. So recently he has been extremely enraged about it. He hugs me goodbye only when I'm leaving the house with the boys as if to make himself look like a great loving husband in front of the kids. About a year ago my youngest son noticed how he withholds money from me and he stated mommy when I grow up I'm going to give you money all the time. Our oldest daughters have also noticed thing about him they are 21 and 19. We have 4 children. My oldest son is 14 and was just recently granted a birthday party when he turned 14. He goes so far as to not allow me to plan parties for our children. It's getting to the point recently that I suffered with suicidal thoughts from his torture. He's always accusing me of cheating or wanting other men. I've been faithful this whole time. I also cant talk with my Pastor because he and His wife have narcissistic tendancies as well. I don't know what to do besides secrectly plan to disappear with our youngest children and that's not realistic I'm not financially able to leave. I cry all the time and listen to music about God's love for me because what I know about Jesus he withholds nothing and doesn't shame us of our past or accuse us. He also constantly asking me what's wrong but when I share to him how he's making me feel about withholding intimacy he turns it around on me and blames me because of college 22 years ago. And want to know every detail of the parties I cant even recall. I refuse to talk about it because it just makes him more enrage. He says I hurt him and I'm trying to figure out why he even married me if the whole time he believes Im cheating and accusing me of wanting other men. It makes no sense and and I feel like I'm losing my mind. Recently I read about Leah on the Bible and I feel my life mirrors hers in alot of ways. He also has been emotionally involved with female coworkers 3 that I can name. 2 have visited our church . One actually placed her child in our church camp and was extra flirty on a trip to Disney World and he admitted to meeti her on a Sat to change her tire and kissed her but denies now that that happened it was when my second daughter was a year old. The other recently visited our church and he walked all the way to her side agter church and embrassed her. I was so ashamed. And he says it was nothing. I never felt so hurt and when I called him out on it he argued with me about my college days 20 something years ago as to why he did it. I'm so over him now and I'm battling regret thinking I made a wrong life choice. Also his older brother 30 years ago was stabbed by his girlfriend at the age of 20. His brother was physically abusive to her so the police did not arrest the woman. His brother died and he was there. So I feel his issues and hate towards me are a result of that trauma I also believe he is stuck me tally as a 18 year old when that happened. He will be 49 this year. I have mentioned this to him and he gets really upset and angered and says I lack compassion but he is still grieving its hard for me to grieve his brother because I never met him. When I met my husband he was stalking the girlfriend who killed the brother and had lots of rage toward her I convinced him to stop doing that and he did. So there were so many red flags but a 17 year old is too too blind to see these things then. I know I made my bed in hell but God is with me. All I do is pray and he also has asked me to stop praying and calling on Jesus name. This has been exhausting just reflecting on all this pain.

      It would be a good idea for you to find another church with kinder pastor and wife. If you can't go to your pastor to look for help, you're in the wrong church. In not talking about the denominational, but that particular church. Hi OnLive and find one close by, and read the reviews, try it, go to the pastor with a small issue, to text how he deals with you. You deserve better, pay the game life I did, until my kids were 18 and of to college, because I wouldn't want have left that evil person alone with my young, innocent children. So, I divorced myself emotionally, stopped expecting things from him. I no longer cared, and I lived that way for a while - So, I no live saw him as my partner, husband, on my side. I just survived, played the game like a video game. I kept learning about narcissists, and keep strong. Then be prepared, with enough money to retain a lawyer, and leave, never to return. Good luck!!! 🌷

It amazes me the things her father says and does and people just believe him and im the devil but none of it is true. I finally feel comfortable enough to take a chance with someone just to find ive met far worse and I hadnt seen a thing yet. No one has ever made me feel bad about myself or doubt who i am. No one has ever made me feel like im fat or ugly cant do anything right and just so unwanted until this guy that started off great. Now i havent seen him in days, he doesn't touch me, we are sleeping different rooms, he lies lies les, and im crazy and being clingy, BUT if im down to bring a friend then he's all for it.

    I still have two months before moving out. I’d rather leave asap, but not possible.
    I’m concerned about an escalation of her tactics as the date gets closer and she sees I’m serious. Right now her tactics are subtle, but I know how far she’s gone before. What I don’t know is how far she’s willing to go.

    Withholding affection almost killed me with my covert Narc ex , because my mother is a covert and cold like a dead fish. My ex is a porn addict-btw: he said I shouldn't take it personal so I struggle with saying we shouldn't take it personal. It is, because Narcs don't mistreat everyone. So, my Ex wanted sex, but he withheld anything I asked him for what I liked in bed. He didn't touch or caress me and he didn't want to be touched. So it ended almost like I satisfied him in 90% of the cases and I didn't want Sex, any longer. Which is quite weird because I wasn't like this in earlier relationships. Btw: I blamed those sexual issues I developed in this relationship on my perimenopause and I still struggle with sexual-abuse like issues years later and though being in an amazing relationship now. Blaming myself for everything came in handy for him, I guess. Also he didn't help in the house. I asked him to clean the dishes a few times, he set the whole kitchen under water and told me he has issues coordinating, so I always did it myself.

    The legal profession needs more attorneys like you. Most judges and lawyers don't understand the narcissistic manipulation and it's very difficult, especially if there's children involved, for a spouse or mother of children to extricate themselves in a court of law because the narcissist is so clever at the manipulation.

    I noticed this right away. I could literally tell you the day the devaluation started. I could not touch him. It was like a totally different person. The same day, there were undermining comments about my outfit, would barely speak to me and literally nothing happened. It was absolute insanity. Covert Narcissists are brutal.
