there's no true compassion, love or empathy from them. they say one thing, but do another. they antagonize. they patronize..they taunt. but in very subtle, covert and demeaning ways ways..its almost as if they're mocking you. nothing from them is genuine. most of what they say almost seems robotic and scripted. this makes them appear to be normal to people that see them in short "small talk" increments on the outside, but you (the person on the inside) know damn well they're cold, empty, insensitive monsters. ..if you have someone like this in your life. run. and run fast!! they will suck the friggin' life out of you and make you think you're crazy. they will never change. don't hope for it. don't wait for it. just go. trust me on this.

I felt this EXACT way in my marriage. And the last straw was when we were separated... as I was contemplating what to do... and my home was broken into... and MY HUSBAND DID NOT CARE. Seriously... not one single ounce of emotion. I could have been raped or killed and it did not faze him. As the following days and weeks went on, I realized that I must have previously been living in some illusion because this was TRUTH in front of me. I confronted him about it several times and all he would say is that he isn't worried about it because it never happened. ????? There was no urgency to get a security system, nothing. Just an individual that could not care any less. And this is outside of surgeries and other heartbreaks that went down exactly as you described in this video. Being married to a covert narcissist is something that you wouldn't understand unless you've done it.

When I was diagnosed with breast cancer at 40, one of my first thoughts to myself was "maybe NOW my husband will finally love me" because he will be afraid to lose me...how sad is that? In fact, not surprising, my covert narc husband didn't feel more endeared to me at all. He told me it was really hard for HIM to be married to someone with health problems! And when I found the lump, I didn't tell him for 3 weeks because I didn't want to ruin a business trip he had been looking forward to! I think I knew deep down that he wouldn't show empathy or concern which of course he didn't. So sad.

Never knew others went through this..I'm so thankful I found Debbie!!! When I was diagnosed with cancer I had all reproductive organs removed. He was there after surgery but I could feel his awkwardness and discomfort when I came out of anesthesia. Before surgery all he could say to me, even my brother and his friends was " our sex life would never be the same" He waited for the all clear from the doctor and that very night expected sex, then shamed me for not giving in.. The guilting and shaming went on until I gave in. I quietly cried till he was done. I was so shocked when I realized he never ever saw me or heard me.. I started pulling away from him at that moment. I'm sure my pulling away and shutting down started him looking up old girlfriends. Whom he finally left me for. Deep down I was relieved.. but very devastated..

I'm so sorry you went through that and it's frighteningly shocking when you realise afterwards, isn't it? My nex of 27 years spent a whole week convincing me that we needed life insurance until I phoned up to make enquiries about it. It was too expensive for us and I prepared his favourite meal just so that I could break the news to him. But he seemed unconcerned about it. Two weeks later he drugged and raped me at a remote holiday cottage and then denied it had happened and claimed I'd been seriously ill and had hallucinated it. I was so confused and loved him and trusted him so much after 22 years of marriage that I very nearly believed him. I was financially dependent on him at that time and we'd moved far away from everyone I knew for his job. He kept denying it for 7 more years until he suddenly left me for his new supply. A year after he left I had a massive flashback to the incident and realised, through counselling, that my rape had been real as proven by the facts surrounding it and he had drugged me to do it. The scariest thing is that he was clearly planning to kill me, but as the life insurance didn't happen he decided to drug and rape me instead and then he enjoyed watching me struggle with the aftermath of the rape and his denial for all those years. Take care X

Yep. Mine hates the heck out of me when I get sick. You can just feel the rage. It was so confusing to me for the longest time. He told me I should just go kill myself once when I was in excruciating pain from a back injury. He said it in a cold distant emotionless voice. Maybe that doesn't sound very covert, but in most ways he is a CN. When I get sick, he just turns into a rage filled sadistic creep. It is so scary to be married to someone you can't rely on when you get sick. One time he screamed at me all the way to the doctor's office. My blood pressure was through the roof once we got there. It terrifies me that I will get seriously ill and have no one to help me. I must do what I can to get out of this long, confusing and damaging marriage.

I had a heart attack in 2007, died on the operating table then revived and my Narc came into the room and said he was tired and going home. He resented having to help me while I recuperated and told me I needed to hurry and get better because this whole thing really inconvenienced him. We separated a year after I found out he and my neighbor were having an affair. I was devastated and depressed for almost 3 years. I look back and realize what and who he was and that I was really never more than a prop in his personal stage production. I am much better now and I have never looked back since I recovered.

Thank you Debbie for making me feel human again. I didn't know why I would always ask my husband of nearly 30 years " why do you always kick me when I'm down?" only to be gaslighted and lied to..now I know why. When I had my appendix out at age 50, he didn't call to see how the op. went. He said " But I came in and they said you were still sleeping, do I thought I'd let you rest". Never heard from him. I tried the home phone but was disconnected. Then, when he picked me up the nurse said "would you like a wheelchair to the car?" I was groggy from the pain killers they gave me and hesitated; my husband answered on my behalf " no, she'll be right" so I walked in pain. This is one of many incidents. But when I told some people they said "oh, you're just too sensitive!". I'm still with him but for a change, I am slowly allowing myself to plan an exit.

You are so on to it! You can see them so clearly. 4 years ago, one fine Tuesday when I was working my butt off in my shop I literally dropped ill with an unidentifiable virus. I spent a month in isolation in hospital and I am still disabled from this illness. My husband a covert came to the hospital every single day. Sat and held my hand for an hour every day. Went of and had sex with strangers out near the hospital every day. Sometimes both before and after coming to see me. I gave him a new stomping ground as the hospital was 40mins from home. My mum, a covert who turned overt turned up to the hospital once, you could hear her down the hallways, she never entered the room and she gave the nurses flowers and chocolates (I know this because the nurses tried to give me their flowers after she left). As I never recovered fully from the viral attack my mum began to hate me more and more. She was having huge verbally violent screaming episodes at me. In front of everyone, in shopping centres and at home. Eventually 6 months ago she did the final discard. Disowned, had enough of me and didn't want to put up with me any more. 4 years ago I was healthy, owned a 7 day a week retail shop, had a husband, a beautiful 5 bedroom home and all the materialistic things we could ever need. Now I am 41, I have cleared all the narcissists out because of my post viral disabilities. I have very little left, my whole world just melted away once I was no longer strong enough to hold it all together and provide for my husband. The CPTSD is holding me back from the outside world, but KZbin is helping to educate me. Thank you so much Debbie for sharing your insights. You make a difference ❤️

Spent about 2 years with critical lowerback pains I almost become completely disabled. I was carrying a lot of responsability on my shoulders and my ex fiance was pulling away more every time. This is when I realized he wasn't right for me. I am discovering now he had many cover narcissistic traits. It is so confusing to even define it but I felt it in my gut something was sinfully wrong about his response towards my disease and the cold way he treated me. I am 6 months out of the 13 yr relationship and still suffering withdrawal but learning about this helps. I healed my back problem while still in the toxic relationship seeking natural medicine, keeping my mind focused on my healing and cure with unwavering faith. I recommend Louise Hay books on self love. It is the ultimate and most important first step for healing. Emotional disease causes physical disease. It is my wish you find healing and restore your life. Stay positive. Keep fighting. YOU CAN DO IT!!!

When she died my sisters denied me access to the funeral. And I wasn’t listed in the obituary. They know no boundaries to their hidden rage. If you can find a therapist that practices Somatic Experiencing Therapy it will help you release the toxicités in your body. A therapy developed by Dr Peter Levine. It’s based on observations in the animal world. Animals can shake off trauma. This process works. There are KZbin videos about it. My heart goes out to you. Illness is a game changer.

I remember the day he said, as he was dressing my wound-‘I’m so sick of this.’ It was like being punched in the heart. He also made me wait until a commercial break during a football game- when I asked for him to run to the store to get me cold and flu meds. I waited a long time-no urgency or care on his part.

Strangely enough, my husband is an covert (shy) narcissist and everything was on target except that he seems to flurish when I'm not well, which isn't often. But when I'm not sick, he could care less about me. One time, I was walking through a park and one of some council worker guys (they take care of the city parks etc) thought it would be cute show me "something". I went home, even though I had just gotten there and husband had just come home from work and I told him about it of course. I didn't expect him to actually do anything, but some sympathy at best, because that situation could have been alot worse, because it was 3 of them and I was alone. Long story short, he got angry at me for having told him about it, because he felt like I was expecting him to do something about it. "Well, What are you telling me for?! What am I supposed to do about it?!"

Yes, I experienced it a few times and I was married to an ER Nurse..... people thought.... Oh lucky you! Not!!!! I remember coming out from surgery and he was sitting next to me , the nurse came into to take vitals, he started crying and acting like he was so upset to see me like that. But these were people he had worked with and knew him (the side he wanted them to see) and it was just a big show! As the nurse was wheeling me out to car, she said...."you are lucky, you got a good one", at the time I agreed. HA, he used my surgery to his full advantage, but really he did not like the fact, that one, it was going to cost him money, 2, I couldn"t do everything around our farm, house etc. for weeks, so he had to. I have never felt so alone and helpless in my life. This happen several times throughout our marriage, They have no empathy...but he fakes it everyday to keep up his public persona, of the great American Vet, Nurse, Dad......

I often get the blame mostly behind my back and passively aggressively as well. I just realized today I have lived years being in the scapegoat role by several people. Until now I never realized that is how I have been living most of life. In my bio family until I got out of it and the last almost 30 years as well. I never realized that is what my situation is called or that is what I am. As someone else's scapegoat.

I had some medication to make the bleeding reduce and eventually stop , so I had to wait for this to work, and I couldn't leave the house. I was worn out, I would imagine heading for anaemia, what did my covert narc do... He went shopping 10 miles away - for the afternoon, he was angry with me because I was going to spoil the weekend for him, at my friend's house down in the south west of the UK . I went that weekend because I knew he would have made my life hell if I hadn't with constant arguments etc... we went for a walk, but because I felt so weak I couldn't walk far.

I have become a caregiver by default also after 35 years, but the abuse and entitlement have gotten worse. Meanwhile, I am not allowed to be sick or have any weaknesses, just like my childhood, taking care of 3 younger siblings. I have been considered ALL my life not to have any needs.

Sounds like my life, too...4 younger siblings, housework...later, in my marriage I have become alien to my family because of my burnng out. Because of some abusive behaviour I had to leave at a crucial time, a month and a half before his brain surgery and my grown children had to step up and are now very angry with me. He has also been a fabricator and a liar, so I have no idea what he may have said to them. They no longer speak to me. I came back home after four weeks, but they all hate me for not being able to take it any longer. It disrupted their lives, after all, they are grown and have a right to live their own lives. After his recovery, I'll be leaving for good, or he will have to move out. I'm doing relatively fine now, I have become stronger and I no longer care whether I am ever vindicated or not.

Right after the stroke in 2013, I was accused of not taking care of him properly by my older son who was also a victim of his neglect. I had my own totally ignored health problems, a variant of Crohns' disease and walking anemia because of blood loss. Despite the mistreatment I had endured over the years I was more than a good enough nurse but the abuse got worse, not better, after my kindness. I simply do not talk to him anymore except for what's absoultely necessary. He is well enough to walk to a shop every two days to buy cigarettes and some other items. He spends most of his time watching TV like a zombie or at his laptop oogling at porn. Otherwise, I take care of everything from a small pension, not easy at all. Unfortunately, we cannot split up due to his inability to be alone and also finances do not permit it. I did get my son back however who is more attuned to reality and the severe limitations of his father. The younger son does not live in the country and may have had a more realistic view of his father saying a couple years ago, "He does not care about anything". I suspect your children will finally see the light as well.

I asked my partner to stay home and look after me the next day as I was really week and had lost a lot of blood and he said "No you'll just clean the house all day" I left him after that..we were living together but not married.. but stupidly not knowing what he was I allowed him to pretend he had learnt his lesson but he didn't. and we got married.On the day our first child was born and we got into our garage after driving home from the hospital 6 hrs after the birth,He turned off the motor and said in really cold flat voice. "Its not a boy".As you can imagine it only got worse from there until I finally left him 6 years later.

He went to work that day instead of staying at the hospital due to it being his first day at the school. He got a teaching position. Then after we (me & baby) got home from the hospital and got pissed or went into a rage after a couple of days. It was because i hadn't unpacked the boxes in living room and arranged the furniture. He thought i should be able to do that while home on maternity. I also had a 10 yr old froma prev rel to care for. I started noticing that after the baby was born, my ex was no longer interested in me or my older son. I filed about 6 months later.

Here is another exhausting game the narcissist plays. Anytime you are hurting, minor or major, they don't really care at all. My covert narcissist would always play the game of "one-up-man-ship" and would have to change the topic to her and how she had "it worse" in some way. The conversation always turned to her in one way, shape, or form. It was like she just couldn't allow someone to get compassion at all. It made you feel like your pain wasn't allowed ever. SHE always had it worse and would turn the sympathy to her. It happened all the time and I mean all the time, in private or in public.

He was always in a hurry whenever he would come see me telling the people who were visiting to keep me company. He simply avoided me and he has continued to do so todate. He told one child while they were buying drugs for me that he was tired of doing so. This affected the boy who was 11 then seven years ago todate. It affected his school work coz the teachers would notice he was staring in space alot in class. Now I know he is the scape goat coz the father has subbotaged his progress not caring whether he succeeds or not. He is a very talented boy but the father is making sure that he doesnt thrive.

They are disturbed and damaged people. We should remember that and keep distance from them. May your partner's soul rest in peace.

He always makes me feel as if I’m lying or pretending when I’m sick or feel tired without saying a single word. I don’t know how he does that but it’s what I feel.

Thank you and yes, I do deserve so much better!!! Everybody does... this non solicited abuse is so hard to deal with,I'm preparing to leave but he's ex law enforcement and quite frankly he's told me that he's mean, and I believe him. Christmas day no phone call even until after 9pm... I'm thankful that I've found these videos. I'll never truly understand the twisted mindset but it's all good because I don't want to be like these devils. Thanks again!

Yep!! Right on! Was there constantly at every turn for my ex girl to the point where I was helping bathing her and when I got sick, the only time in four years. ( You said it) she came by but acted like in her attitude that I had to pay some way for taking up her time so she can go get her nails done with her mother. She stayed for about thirty minutes, ( she was on her phone for that time) then left and I took care of myself... I later found out from her brother that she made it clear to everyone that she made sure she went out of her way to come by and help me when I was sick because I had no one to help me. Which is not true at all and it make sense on how she was texting me that day.

I experienced this all throughout my childhood with my mother who could not stand to see me getting any attention unless it was negative attention If i was ill or needed support in any way she would throw petrol on the flames to make sure i had to struggle & go through the pain alone, She could not show me any care whatsoever & often told me how much she hated me being there & wanted me out of her house as soon as i was old enough to fend for myself. She would not come to visit me when I was in hospital after i was attacked off a stranger & I had to have plastic surgery on my face & 2 teeth punched out , she sent a message to me saying i probably deserved it.........when i was 6 years old her husband was caught trying to rape me & she told me do not look to her for any pity because I will not get any.. so i grew up with a mother who hated the very thought of doing anything nice for me, she wanted to see my struggle & got her kicks from it. so yeah i know these sort of people who want all the care & attention for them self but cannot give it to their own child. People are strange....

I must write more. After first surgery (all three were on abdominal) I had a traditional cut on my belly. It wasn't even a full day after the operation, the cut was very fresh. I was strictly forbidden from moving etc. I needed care at that time and also just normal human behaviour like a simple smile. He told me he has to leave to run some errands. Then his mother called and he realised I know now he lied to me, it turned out he just wanted to go for dinner to his parents. I wasn't sure what's going on. I asked what is it all about so he started a fight, triggering me, saying mean things, shouting etc. until he hurt me emotionally so badly that I broke down, crying and shouting (his fav tactic btw). My wound started to weep. I got high temperature. He told me that I asked for it and left to see his abusive mommy and daddy. He did almost similar thing after the second surgery. He was always the most discontent and aggresive when I was feeling weak, like on my periods. I couldn't understand that. Now I finally do. This marriage was a nightmare. I don't know why it took me so long to realise that I married a monster.

I feel your pain! My father died unexpectedly at age 51. Growing up I idolized him, but we had been estranged for years. My mother broke my jaw with a hammer when I was 15 and I went to the police. As you can imagine that broke our family apart. My father resented me for going outside the family, or so I was told years later. But I've gotten off point. My father died and 2 weeks later I had a miscarriage. That's when mine left me and our 6 year old. I was also out of work for the first time in our then 10 year old relationship. He had always and to this day, lives off of me. He came back a few weeks later because the friend he was staying with was going thru a tough time. Of course mine wanted no part of that. My biggest regret in life is letting him come back. I just didn't realize what he was then. Now that I do he won't get out of my house.

Thank you so much Debbie for posting this wonderful video!! Hs bizarre rage-filled reaction to me being sick is the first big clue I had that something was off with my CN ex-bf! Of all the information out on the Internet about malignant narcissism , there is very little about how narcissists react to the illness/injuries of their significant others!

Here's a perfect example after giving birth the cover Narcissist CHOOSE to start working double shifts. His regular schedule was from 7am-3pm. After the baby was born he took up 3pm-11pm on top of the day shift. Reason being it was his way of punishment and making new mom handle newborn baby all by herself and used the excuse of having to work to avoid doing anything that would make new mom's life any easier.

I had a miscarriage and he said it was my fault because I didn’t take care of myself ... in front of the shocked ambulance guy. He couldn’t care less what the bastard doctor did to me. He never cherished me - you are right. Zero tenderness or emotion - just mechanically going through the motions to pretend he’s taking care of me, but full of rage and anger to make you pay . The roles are always reversed - if they need you, you’re there 100% to fight for their medical care, to make sure they get the best. If you need them, then somehow it’s your fault and you should feel guilty because somehow you caused your own suffering and he’ll just turn a blind eye to whatever way the doctors misbehave because he couldn’t care less to try to protect you when you are down. ( horrible narc male doctor who performed D&C - he should lose his license.) They do punish you and resent you .... yes the same with the covert narc who raised me.

3 trips to the hospital for ruptured ovarian cysts, drove myself, finally after many fights (I didn’t know what I was dealing with) third time he finally did drive me only because he probably realized I better come through this time. I have mountains of examples that adhere to every example you listed in this video I am definitely with a covert narc not an overt one may I add to the list that they are usually quite interested in sex? I’ll have to put the money aside but I’m going on your website right now to look into the coaching so glad I found you wish it would have been sooner

Thankyou for sharing. I especially appreciated hearing about how your children will treat you too. I've been through absolute hell with my ex husband and now grown children. Once I finally got away from a family of vultures , my son dealt more overt emotional abuse than I could've ever imagined. I'm still trying to recover as it's only recently been that I do not tolerate even one word anymore. I cant akd if it means I sit here alone day after day then that's what it is. I must stick to my boundaries and it's been a very hard road

I’m so glad this isn’t just me! I got a phone call at 3 am to go to the hospital and when I got there my beloved dad was dead. Gone. I text my boyfriend who was at home, no reply. Eventually drove home shaking and sobbing. HE DIDNT EVEN GET OUT OF BED TO GIVE ME A HUG. He left me alone crying in the dark in the living room. Got up the next day and went to work as if nothing had happened. I put my back out doing gardening and couldn’t move was in so much pain and really scared. He agreed to take me to the hospital, he ignored my pain got on the bed which I couldn’t get on I could only stand, and asked me to take a photo of him he could post on social media. When we got home again he went out knowing I couldn’t even get to the toilet by myself and my daughter had to help me. Uuuuuugh. And as you say, my mother is just the same. Growing up if I was hurt I’d never call my mum always my dad.
