Is Your Narcissistic Ex Happy?

[@PaulRubino]

I dated a narcissist. When I met her she told me her ex used to abuse her physically, emotionally and sexually, and he threw her down a flight of stairs. I felt so bad for her. My relationship with her followed the usual course of narcissistic relationships - we went from (what seemed like) true love to hell in about a year and broke up. Later I hear through the grapevine she's been telling her friends I abused her physically, emotionally and sexually, and I threw her down a flight of stairs. All lies, but that's when I realized, the guy before me probably didn't do these things either. This is just the narcissist's sales pitch to suck in new victims.

[@mgu1N1n1]

Sounds very familiar... putting the pieces together.

[@Patriot_Eke]

Peterson has a video up about this. Since women cannot use physical violence, they often resort to reputation destruction. My ex spread all sorts of lies about me. She even tried them in court. Thankfully, the judge didn't buy it. Still, she didn't get in trouble for lying in court when she should have. If the roles were reversed, I would have been heavily penalized.

[@jera9654]

The pain of losing something that never was is a uniquely disturbing and disorienting experience. Theirs is a cold and desperate existence of manipulating others in hopes of finding someone that will love them "hard" enough that they will finally feel it. They have abandoned themselves and are looking outward for what can only be found within.

Speaking truth

[@robertdemeter5793]

If you think THEY are the one that "made' you feel then you are still under their control/spell, you're still wrapped up in their neverending inner delusions/dar-kness, and you learned nothing. The truth is, you were loving YOURSELF the entire time you were interacting with them as they were doing nothing more than mirroring you, there is nobody inside them in the first place, therefore there was nobody for you to love but yourself (as they themselves are incapable of true empathy/love). Stating that they made you feel is like saying an empty robot made you feel, or an empty soda can made you feel. And in the same way it's completely ridiculous to think a Narc made you feel anything...As they were doing nothing more than mirroring you in the beginning. Based on a lie and you cannot truly feel for lies. They are completely incapable of processing their emotions, they don't know how to. And that is why when you state that you love them they greatly resent it, they turn you into an enemy and play their games. Because inside they ask themselves- " how can you possibly love this ? ' Unless you get over these massive hurdles and understand the bigger picture of Universal spiritual truths in your relationships then you will never be the truly empathic powerful loving spirit being you truly are to love the world/heal the world. ..

[@CoachCee]

Great video Lise! I recently broke up with a female who is a covert narcissist. She displayed many of the traits you describe that covert narcs exhibit. At first, she made me feel like I was her knight in shining armor and showered me with compliments and maintained constant communication with me but little by little her mask started to slip and she started to have moments where she wouldn't treat me well, totally unlike the person she portrayed herself to be in the beginning. After these first few incidents, we started to have relationship difficulties on a regular weekly basis after a few short months of what seemed like the beginning of a perfect relationship.It's almost been a month since I ended things with her (and she brutally discarded me and hasn't said a word to me since). I'm slowly recovering because I realize trauma bonded to her. What hurts me the most is the thought that she's off doing the same thing with someone else and that her words and actions weren't genuine and, as an empath I'm left with the lingering thought that things could have been different.

[@Bob-zh6dw]

I'll bet you were always the one giving and she only took from you. What did she contribute to the relationship besides sex? Nothing ........

[@heyoldman2003]

when trouble goes… don’t ask where

[@derekmarks8969]

This is what they do. Mine did the same thing, constant communication, at first I thought it was sweet and loving, but then I discovered it was anything but loving and sweet. The constant communication was used as a dispatch time log, she would use to scrutinize how long it took me to get home from the gym, or anything I would do to leave the house, she wanted leaving and arrive times. I thought it was sweet but it was just a trap, when the mask fell, all the sweetness left the text messages. The text messages were just loveless time stamps use to control. The communication was presented as love but it was all for control. It took me 3 years until I saw the mask slip multiple times. It took me 2 more years hoping the good times would be back, but was left totally drained exhausted and neglected. At the end it got really bad when she thought she was above me because she was attending Christian church 3 days a week. Lots of triangulation putting church and god before me as much as she could.

Sadly a narcissistic relationship is like being in a cult and you can never tell a cult member they are in a cult as they believe in it and the love bombing it too powerful.

[@johnjanocsko5137]

Has anyone else experienced this? My Narc wife filed for divorce months ago, and has convinced herself that I am the Narc. (I heard her listening to KZbin videos months ago but did not take it seriously at the time.) My daughter was ahead of the game, figuring her out so that supply dried up for my wife. Our daughter has turned me onto these videos, and as I watch them, I am now figuring out that my wife is ‘gray stoning’ us both because she thinks I am the Narc and because she has found a new guy which means a new Narc supply. Watching these videos, I am now learning. This is a blessing to me and our daughter who says her mother is dead to her. We are quickly approaching my wife’s second divorce for the exact same reasons that I heard about her first Ex. And she already has her next victim in her sights. I am really grateful for these videos. They are making a lot of sense to me.

Unfortunately her emotions will shift which she seems to have no control over and as her feelings are taken by her as absolute gospel facts the new man will face devaluation much sooner probably half the time it was with you. The best case scenario is if you don’t have children with her. If she has baby rabies (like my 35 year old ex) the new guy will have a much shorter time window to ‘produce the goods’ or he’ll face a much quicker discard than you regardless of how much she said she loved you two days ago! Of my 10 month on/off relationship with my ex I’d say the new guy might at best survive 4 to 5 months tops

Peter, don't grieve for a ghost, someone who was only ever a figment of your imagination. You are still early in the trauma bond phase. Once your cognitive dissonance completely reconciles, meaning you are no longer struggling to determine whether or not the narcissist has a good side (you understand that the good side of a narcissist is nothing more than manipulation). Once you accept the fact that this is who and what they truly are, is the moment the trauma bond releases its power over you. Good luck Peter.

Another great Video, these videos are such a help on getting Some understanding on what the hell just happened to me. Cause it was so confusing

[@mukesh.dhimar]

It's strange because this video is so informative however I also found myself finding things out that are in this video. I called her out through a 43 page letter and she got together with someone STRAIGHT AWAY which makes me actually think she was already with him. Getting a new supply ready because she knew I was going to call her out. When we split up, she had the nerve to say that I needed help. Sent me a picture of her and her new supply two months later through email saying "this is what true love is". I didn't open the picture. But I saw what I should have seen ages ago and that was that she was INTENTIONALLY hurting me throughout. Ghosting me for a couple of weeks whilst we were together. Telling me she was going on a date with someone else. Even that she had sex with someone else because I wasn't there. Telling people lies about me. Never ever mentioning her abuse. Her lies. Her cheating. And there was more stuff. Again, in other comments I have written that I haven't seen her in ten months and she called me two weeks ago when she's not allowed to. Can a narcissist be happy? On my letter I wrote about how I didn't believe what she said about her exes-for example, she'd got thrown out of a car by an ex, all of them cheated on her, another abused her....and so on. I wrote she was the common denominator so that surely she must realise that it's HER. I used to wonder what she says about me? I don't care anymore because it would all be lies anyway.

You are always so accurate with your descriptions and analysis. I know this will sound very callous but this all begs the question ...should NPD's deserve to be treated with empathy/humanity especially given that they exploit exactly that?

LoL I'm the horrible ex, Guilty! Please please remember my survival mode, I'll do it again if pushed...so I'm not worth hoovering .. I'm horrible... who's that over there!!!!

Your short video clips you put in your videos are oscar worthy

[@TheeBigStokes]

Crazy , Ex of 9 years did everything video explained towards end. Started actually changing seemingly for better for us & then out of no where flipped out broke up. Week later already had hickeys & staying at a guys house playing step mom to his children. Saying he needs her & his children needs her she doesnt want to hurt them . She is going to do right by them. Even told my mom they were her step kids (She has 0 children) Told mutuals god blessed her & shes so happy , hasnt been this happy in years she feels so free… im like bullshit she’s fronting , had her mom & friends in on the whole move. Smearing my name crazy… Im like wow

[@TheeBigStokes]

I know the true her & even though we had our differences i was able to get to the core… She is unhappy & faking everything. I seen her & she looked depleted lying to herself to try to hurt me. Crazy watching somebody you love destroy themselves trying to hurt you. Love her cause i was genuine but im disappointed in her actions 😓

Week after the break up shes with someone calls me to tell me and blocks me smh. She had to come pick up her dog at my house a week after and came with her new man. These ppl really deserve the worst

[@toasttoast789]

Yep mine after telling me she loves me and want to be exclusive in 3 weeks. Sex for 3 months then she had to stop till marriage. 3 months is to quick so I said I can see is possibly being married in the future, but I’m not ready yet. She agreed. We made it about 2 weeks after that and she text me saying she’s falling away from god and can’t handle a relationship right now, especially extra kids, since I had 2. 3 months later she’s with a new guy with kids. Feel bad for the guy I really do. But it gets easier every day especially since I can enjoy the skit instead of getting upset at it like I use to. I changed my whole look and I know I look good 😂 love yourself always

[@arikcarter9209]

Dear Lisa Thank you for your hard work to help us. Sense of relief and hope that you bring here to the world of abused man is so much helping. Understanding speed ups healing.

[@davidyardley512]

I don't know and I don't care. Her 'happiness' is only about supply; it only ever was. Somehow, I sustained that supply for her for 17 years. Good luck to him, he's going to need it.

[@clintonnagy1662]

Just want to say I admire your firmness. My last relationship left my emotional state feeling like a raw nerve. I don't know how I feel anymore? I wish I had your will power, and lack of concern. My life would be alot better. It's gonna take time to see I'm better off without her mind games and manipulation. It's been 2 months since the discard and the wound is still fresh.

[@LeeEverett1]

Narcissist or not, why care or dwell on your ex being happy with their new partner? It's their business and they've moved on, so should you.

[@vyoufinder]

It's nice when your narc takes off with another guy, but then two weeks later you hear that she's been calling everyone she knows trying to come get her and bring her back home since she's stranded, out of money, and in a town she hates Nobody will go get her. When/if she gets back, I was also told that she's losing her awesome place and going to have to move into a really sucky situation besides. I'm not sure she's coming back though, because through my getting to know her she has been exposed. Her fantasy life has been found out to be fictitious.

Spot on Lise. Thanks

[@Ryuhayabusa.7]

Is anyone else dealing with a partner that says they love you one day and then are hurtful the next day over a small argument? My gf will lash out when she’s upset, and it gets to a point where if she will threaten to break up with me. If I refuse to listen to her breaking up with me she will say “Can we just end it please?” There was this one time I did no contact for 5 days and she texted me 20 times in a row asking why I didn’t blow her, begged me to block her, said “Please just block me!!!” Repeatedly and called me over 50 times in a few hours. This was a month ago, she’s still irritating and trying to break us up every other day. Some back story on her, she was abandoned by her dad when she was younger. And she was in a 2-year relationship with an extremely abusive ex, and she was assaulted by an uncle. She’s been through A LOT, and I honestly feel bad for her. I don’t stick around because I feel bad, it’s because I’ve seen what she’s like at her core. I just don’t want to give up on her you know? It’s hard because I do see a future but I just need her to get better and want to be better. She admitted she wanted therapy and even signed up for it but she hasn’t been scheduled just yet.

[@derekmarks8969]

Bpd and probably a narcissist. I know what you mean when you see them at their core. That’s the most painful part you want to help them. That’s why we stay or stayed, because we are good people. If you don’t see a huge shift after therapy and she’s still throwing break ups in your face, I would eject ⏏️

[@sunnykhan5451]

If she is already older person like 30+ and hasnt sought help than I don't' think she is able to get any better, the thing is cos we are kind hearted and empaths we have weak boundaries and we let people like this keep on disrespecting us and at the end you are gonna get burned down, and god help if you guys get pregnant etc, soon you are going to be davalued and then discard, and hoover if they have a weaker supply she may come back to you for more and then same cycle happen until she finds someone better than you. Question are you gonna gamble with your precious time, is this even love that we all feel about our partners who are BPD or Narcissistic? or it just simply the case of our weak boundaries and kind heart?

[@derekmarks8969]

[@finalthoughts2762]

How long are you willing to wait until "she changes"? 5 years? 3 years? 6 months? Figure it out for yourself and give it a firm deadline. If no positive changes by then (one step forward two steps back is Not a sign of progress, it's a trap) move on with your life.

[@Tidoublemy]

You assume her ex was abusive. He may very have not been abusive at all - she's just doing a smear campaign. These creatures lie about absolutely everything. Don't be surprised if she tells others that you are abusive. You should cut and run as soon as you can. Go full no contact. Nothing good will come from staying with her.

[@War4theWest]

I never believe women when they tell me they were abused. I was actually 'abused' in multiple ways as a child and can tell when women are lying about this stuff. Occasionally their stories are real but it's really rare.

[@Chadyroo1]

Yup! My ex. That's why she's my ex. Been single for over a year now.

[@michaelc.6927]

No, it's been 47 years, not any leaving now. I always knew there was something wrong. But I also know that what she has and the way she is is not her fault because of now knowing about what she was raised with. Looking back I wish that we would have split. I may have been much happier with another woman. But then, I wouldn't have the wonderful daughter that we brought into this world. But then perhaps my son would still be alive as well. I think the mind games done to us all were very wrong and devastating. I just know now that I am sad :~(
