The ironic thing is they don't want someone cheating on them but they have no problem, no guilt or remorse when they cheat on you.

[@jenniferstryker3419]

Exactly!!! Always always accusing and...well we'll well! Look here! Like wtf???

[@Sara2016a]

Sometimes I think that they are not jealous or anything, only if someone cheats them, it hurts their ego. Just my opinion, I could be wrong.

[@ciaralee9760]

That's for sure !

[@Dealingwithlife119]

Exactly I caught my narcissistic spouse cheating on me with paid sex, replied I can’t tolerate you having sex with other person. I mean where from this feeling of superiority come from!

[@josephcarpenter9817]

You hit the nail on the head.

[@runfromwolves]

My narcissistic ex always said how he hates cheaters and liars and how he would never do something like that. And I used to believe his every word. So when I found out I was so shocked. But that actually gave me strength to leave him, so I’m grateful he did, now I’m finally free

[@jayemacnificent3320]

Stay strong

[@CG-wl3cq]

my narc ex was like this too. When we met, he had all these sad stories about being cheated on by so many of his previous girlfriends and how much he hates cheaters and liars. He had the crazy ex girlfriend stories -- all of them were crazy, mentally unstable cheaters. He fooled me so completely with those stories. Over time, he started slipping up and finally admitted they never cheated but he thought they had or were going to, so he cheated as a preemptive strike. I realized he was going to cheat on me under that same justification. He was already accusing me every single day, screaming at me in parking lots of grocery stores because he was sure I wanted to bang the teenage boy running the checkout in the store. He even suggested I might cheat on him with my father or my nephews. I found out after the relationship ended that he was sexting other women and had an eHarmony profile that he was signed into on MY computer!

[@senges6751]

Mine used to say he won't cheat cos of his conscience. Well he cheated.

[@beeman7711]

That is EXACTLY what my ex wife would always say (so much that it made me suspicious)... "I HATE liars and cheaters with a passion!". Her method was to start a fight over nothing, break up, go sleep with someone, then come back to work things out, this way she could say "I didn't cheat! We weren't together at the time!" if she was ever found out. She did that to every ex of her's, she feels entitled and completely justified.

[@Vanessaarielle]

Same. Use to talk about how horrible his cheating friends were for cheating on their wives. I was so shocked.

[@spuiwu-js]

Soul-destroying. Everything was always my fault. It started off as emotional abuse, then very quickly escalated to physical. I never believed that it could escalate with him. I was often told that it eventually would. I naively put that down to 'people being dramatic'. He would hit/shove my head, kick me, grab my neck, push me and drag me around the room. I can assure you - it does lead to physical violence. If you allow someone to treat you this way, it will escalate. This is just a stepping stone. They have no boundaries and no remorse. I wish I had listened to those who had warned me before. I was often told that I was weak. Stupid. A freak. Disgusting. A disgrace. An embarrassment. A piece of shit. A bad human being. That I didn't belong in this world. He told me that he wished I would find someone else, who would 'screw me over big time'. He also wished that I would end up being alone and miserable...because that is what I deserved for treating HIM so badly. He would never take responsibility for anything. He worked 2 days a week. I worked full-time. I cooked, cleaned, did the washing etc. He would watch TV and play video games. If I was to ask for the slightest bit of help, it would turn into a full blown argument. If the TV, his cell phone or anything entertainment related wouldn't work properly, he would explode in a full blown rage. TV remote being propelled across the room, arm chairs being flipped over, cursing continuously. It would terrify me. I was walking on eggshells. I felt that at any moment he could explode for any trivial reason. I was always told to do better. He would call me useless and stupid whenever I did something that didn't meet his standards. I used to ask him to stop because it hurt me. He would always respond with "once you do better, the criticism will stop." I worked so hard to improve everything I did - cooking, cleaning, my clothes, my make up, my hair, doing the chores quickly, running errands, taking care of his son, paying the bills, being the best girlfriend I could be. And guess what? The criticism didn't stop. He told me that I deserved what I got. I deserved the violence because I made him so angry. And because it was my fault that I made him so angry, the violence was acceptable. In a lot of domestic abuse articles, you will see the phrase "I wouldn't have hit you if you didn't do....". If I had a $ for every single time he used that line, I would be a millionaire. He would accuse me of being the abuser. He showed no empathy. I fractured my arm whilst moving house. He entered the room, I asked for his help, and he said "you are so dramatic. I f'ing hate you when you are like that." And then he left the room. He did not ask once if I was okay. I often read that a lot of abusive partners apologise and promise to never behave that way again. In my case, he NEVER apologised. And genuinely, I mean never. I would beg for an apology...and even then, he would refuse. I used to beg him to apologise for all of the hurtful things he said and did to me. He never did. He used to threaten to leave at any opportunity. He would threaten me too. What is my situation now? I discovered that he was cheating on me. And I can honestly say, I truly believe that that moment was my saving grace. I knew i should have left a long time ago. Many people asked me why I didn't leave sooner. Because i was scared. He had convinced me that I was useless and worthless. But when i found proof that he was cheating, I knew that that was the golden ticket. It was time for me to love myself. And if you find yourself in the same situation, I beg of you to find the strength to leave. The love you have been looking for has been inside of you all along.

Yes, he cheated on me. And he blamed me for it. "If only you would shut up everything would be fine." So I shut up. But I became a person I couldn't recognize - the trust was gone and I was like a detective spying on him. After the breakup, I looked back and couldn't recognize that person - it wasn't me, I became someone I wasn't, someone I didn't like. It took a toll on my mental health, definitely. Now I know that when the trust is gone, the relationship is over.

[@Allioop_1]

Indeed… mine cheated and said “I’m married to you, I don’t want to talk about it anymore.” I can’t even describe how screwed up that was for me.

[@eiehe93-]

Being with my ex narc for the past 8 yrs. made me observe this very pattern. I think they wanted to feel very important in a way that is disturbing. Instead of building trust with their intimate partners, they destroy the trust that they built with you (in that case lying when they tried to put you in their pedestal). Once they have a committed partner, they can’t stand being loved authentically by one person. Instead they go on and prey on other women that is susceptible to their love bombing. My ex narc was a compulsive pursuer in a relationship. He would go back and forth to the women he were involved before or try to meet women in complicated situation so that going public isn’t an option while having you as their main supply. In the end they destroy the very person that loved them. They are like toddlers testing your love for them. Showing and telling them you love them isn’t enough, they will cheat on your face to make you feel inadequate even if you are more than they deserve. They want to test your love for them so they keep hurting you and when you have enough of their abuse, you leave. Then they tell you, ‘you never loved me because you abandon me’. Well in fact it’s their actions and narcissistic behavior that made you leave or in other cases they discard you and will give silly reasons of the discard. Mine would use, ‘she’s crazy’, ‘she’s a nega-star’, ‘she insults me’, ‘she cheated on me’ et al. So with this pattern of infidelities and emotional abuse (who knows what else) it’s better to walk away. I did walk away and is now rebuilding my life with our daughter. We are struggling financially because I’m not earning enough to provide for my daughter but now we get to laugh and bring with us sunshine every day. No lies, no abuse and no fake love. We only live once, forgive yourself and move forward but never forget the lesson that narc abuse taught you. That is to respect yourself to walk away from what’s hurting and destroying you. That you deserve a life of solitude, happiness and love. Hugs*** :) Additionally I hired a private detective Barryinvestigation@gmail. com. Once I knew what the narc was up to, it got easier to get over that lying, cheating, sack of doo doo, loser. I didn’t need closure from the narc, I paid for it. Best money I EVER spent!

My story 100%. He moved in the coworker he was having an affair with into our home and asked me to move out, right after mastectomy. Cold-hearted, empty vessel of a man. 😢 The sorrow and heartbreak is devastating and has taken a toll because he waited when I was at my worst trying to recover from my illness to do his worst. No empathy whatsoever.

[@user-ye4tx2bj6s]

Sexlessness. Sharing a bed with someone who doesn’t acknowledge you are a sexual being hurts so much. I was in a sexless marriage for years. Being a woman with a high libido, I felt inadequate. Worst I feel invisible. The man who was “supposed” to want me, just didn’t. We talked about it many times, more than I can recall now. It was always me. I wanted too much - once a week was too much for him. I didn’t initiate - he was always complaining of headaches, stomaches, always stressed, always tired. I was too sexual - when being subtle doesn’t work, what is next? Explicitly saying I wanted sex. Oh but then it was not appropriate. Conversations would end up with him saying he didn’t feel desired or I made him feel emasculated because he didn’t want sex as much as I did. Yeah, it was always me. I could never win. While we were dating we would have a decent amount of sex, it was good. The first huge red flag was not having sex in our honeymoon - which I ignored. It rapidly decrease to once a week, then every other week. Years gone by it was months in between, by the time we divorced it was over a year with no sex. I cried myself to sleep more times that I can count. I didn’t understand what was wrong with me. Was I that undesirable? Was I repulsive? After those conversations, I just stopped trying, initiating, mentioning sex. We were still loving - holding hands, hugging, kissing - but sex was off the table. He then cheated on me. Swore he had sex only 4 times in a year (or more) long affair. It didn’t matter. For years my self worth was damaged by him, years of low self esteem, years of feeling less of a woman, the marriage that was more than over, waiting in hospice, really ended. Funny how things are, I asked him for a divorce, he manipulated me into staying, next day his infidelity came to light. I was out as soon as I could. Best thing of my life. Additionally, That feeling when your partner cheated and you don't have the courage to leave him / her so you just death with the pain and live everyday asking questions about your worth. This pain is different from the cheating one_living and seeing him everywhere anticipating when he or she do it again. The best thing is to hire a private investigator digitalinvestigate@gmail. com to help you spy on their cellphone remotely just like he did for me...

[@michellemorgan6741]

[@user-sw6vt5fr2s]

Mine did the exact same thing. Once he started cheating I used online resources to track down where he was going and who he was with. He then started cheating on his girlfriend. What a slime. He wants a successful upstanding mate and a skank on the side. NEVER take a cheater back they won’t stop. I confronted him and ended the relationship. Women who know their the side peice are just as bad if not worse. Just enjoy knowing karma is a bitch. Hope you find a wonderful man you deserve!!!

[@nunyabidnazz2311]

Ladies, I don’t have anyone to speak to about this. So I’m gone talk to y’all. My Husband hadn’t even attempted to touch me for over a year. When he began his new job with his female boss, I noticed huge changes in his behavior towards me. It was like he was picking fights with me constantly. He’d be up at 10-11pm “answering emails,” and “doing his job.” 🤦🏾‍♀️ That late at night? Then, for the first time, his phone is on vibrate. 🤔 Now he’s having issues at work & the way he speaks about his boss & the music he’s listening to as he has pity parties in the living room, basically scream that he’s in love with his boss and hurting over it not working out. Very strange. Then all of a sudden, he wanted to “get back to being us.” So of course, we had sex and the entire weekend we basically locked ourselves in the bedroom. It was nice, but I couldn’t help but notice, he lasted a long time. You know what I mean ladies, we hadn’t had sex for over a year and he lasts long?! Before, when we had gone a month without sex, he couldn’t last more than a minute bc it had been so long. Idk, but I have a strong gut feeling that he’s having an affair. I just don’t know. It’s all good, as long as I never bring up my feelings. 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@joanofarcxxi]

@@nunyabidnazz2311 I am so sorry you are going through that. But why are you still with that slime? Sweetheart, please prepare yourself to leave. Make a plan and follow it. Don't tell him, just do it. He already showed you how much he disrespects you, he showed you who he is. Don't forgive infidelity. Don't offer a second chance, unless he is willing to go to couples therapy and you discuss things and there is progress. If you FELL something is off, of course it is. Your intuition is telling you the truth you don't want to believe. I am so sorry. But you can do it. Preserve your dignity and sanity. I pray for you.

[@x-2954]

Unfortunately, infidelity tends to go hand in hand with narcissism. Especially, somatic narcissism. Narcissists believe EVERYTHING they need is external, including self-worth, self-esteem, validation, etc. Those things are what make up our inner world and we are supposed to develop and cultivate them within/on our own. Narcissists DEPEND on people to supply those things for them. Because we cannot (nor, are we supposed to) supply every want/need of a partner, narcissists are always on the lookout for "better supply". They will always gravitate toward anyone they feel can meet the needs/wants their spouse isn't (and can't). Narcissists are unstable and they cannot soothe themselves. They cannot meet their own needs and their needs/wants are constantly changing. Narcissists are black holes. They are human abyss' of unmet needs/wants. Even if you gave them everything, they'd still want MORE... All while giving NOTHING in return. Narcissists are also pathologically bored. They do not experience boredom the way normal adults do. They're like children. Once they become bored, they tend to throw their toys (people) in a corner to collect dust. Then, they search for new ones... Untilllll, they realize that their newest toy isn't as fun. Or, it doesn't function as well as the old toy did. Then, they'll go digging in the corner to find that old toy (the reason their relationships tend to be off and on). People are objects meant to keep them occupied and entertained. The newer the toy, the better/more exciting it is. However, EVERYONE will inevitably lose their shine with the narcissist. You must accept their reality and realize that it's NOT ABOUT YOU and it never was. This is also the point when it becomes crucial to sit your ego on the curb. Your ego will want to fight to be seen. Your ego will want to fight to prove you're enough. Your ego will feel it's "worthy" of the narcissist and fight to "keep" them... But, again: IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU. Most narcissists are extremely irresponsible. Many of them marry to secure stability. Or, to have someone they can count on to help with bills to free up their resources. It also ensures they'll have somewhere safe to land when they fall - because they always f*** up... Do yourself a favor and pull that rug of security out from under them and save YOURSELF. Narcissists do not have a moral compass. They do not respect the union of marriage. It'll always be a one-sided arrangement with you being the giver that's making their life easier and them being the taker that's making your life harder. We deserve the same love, attention, support and understanding that we give our spouses. You will never get it from someone suffering with NPD. Moreover, if you feel sure that your husband might never cheat on you, you might have to rethink. Most wives in marriages are shocked when they find out their husband cheating, and it happens more with people who never thought they would cheat. This is why you have to take the tiniest suspicion carefully. If your husband is cheating on you, the best and probably the only guaranteed way to catch him is to spy on their phones. However, spying on a phone is not something you can do without any external help unless you have the James bond level of spy skills. In such case you will need an expert phone spyier Metaspyhub@gmail. com for the purpose,,,

Winnie, you’re spot on with everything being driven externally with a narcissist. Extrinsically as opposed to intrinsically. This is the same external reward system kids grow up with today! Bribery! M&M’s, cookies, bike, car etc. Kids do the assignment, get validated. Then Kids grow up, and expect validation and seek attention. What happens to the kids who don’t get the cookie for brushing their teeth… perhaps learn you know intrinsically when you’ve done a good job.

Yes. The Narcissist in my life cheated on me numerous times- and he also cheated on his mistress. He told me that never once did he think about how any of it would effect me or our children. He’s also very impulsive. He’s a master of manipulating and mirroring; he lies as easily as most people breath. He was emotionally and mentally abused toward me and our children. He has since been diagnosed as a sex addict. He told me he never viewed any of his partners as anything more than an object- even though he promises everyone the world to get what he wants. He plays many characters to fill the role of the person he’s targeting.

When I first met my husband he presented himself as a true Mr. Nice Guy, sweet, honest, emotionally stable and faithful man. But everything turned out to be different, he cheated on me when our daughter was just a baby, I got a VD, which indicated he did not use protection either. Where was that wholesome guy that was supposed to have high moral values ? Amazingly, he always said he had not done anything and that he didn't understand why that happened to me, talking about gaslighting. I remember I said, sure I got it from hugging the cat. It devasted me because I had never been around, I was a virgin when I met him, it was something that should had never happened to me.

[@coriettapadilla9977]

@nz630 Same thing with my husband. He would always say he would never cheat and would even tell my younger nephews that real men don't do that. He really played the role. Well right after our son was home from the hospital from being born he started to get weird. He would tell his sister he felt so much pressure, and things were rocky. I was never under that impression because he was such a wonderful man to me. I literally thought we were growing our family. Then he never came home one night. He was supposed to be with his friend up the street. Not the case. He was screwing his coworker who was trying to get with anyone who would have her. A month later I became so sick and started peeing blood. He didn't even go to the hospital with me. I had an STI. I was so sick I was shaking, fever and vomiting. All by myself. He was mad at me and said it wasn't him. Yeah okay. I just had a baby who was I seeing. It has been such a lousy couple of years. My mistake was taking him back. He wasn't even heartfelt about asking me back. I should have known then but I wanted my marriage to work because I loved him and I took my marriage seriously. I am trying my hardest to get out now. It's been so difficult. But I don't feel much for him anymore. Just going through the motions.

Covert narcissist sustaining an emotional texting liaison with his ex gf behind my back even though she was “crazy”. Texting her our photos to taunt her which served to make her jealous and provide supply for his ego. Got into his phone which I decided to check since I suspected something was off.

Unfortunately, I think you're right about that. These narcs have no boundaries, and the only thing that slows them down are the enforced boundaries of others. The most galling one who crossed my path was the one who cut a Bible verse in half, so instead of "Against love, there is no law, " he just went around saying, in Bible believing circles, "There is no law" and then built an entire, really bizarre theology around that. The problem was, some of what he said made sense, and that was mixed in with all the gaslighting nonsense. It was all a matter of perspective and metaphysical discussion. Discernment "from on high" was of no real use. This guy was a master manipulator of the highest order. I've sometimes thought about looking him up to find out if he's landed his butt in jail yet, but I've decided, ultimately, that it doesn't matter. Even if not, he has likely already burned every bridge that mattered and is just bed-surfing from one woman to the next.

That’s why it usually ends when you start setting boundaries or making suggestions to improve things. They can do no wrong and never want you to address their behavior even in the context of “we”. Because of their disorder they truly don’t have empathy and their self centeredness, lack of self reflection, will never allow you to have a healthy relationship with them.

[@KamelaSSpivey]

All these things about narcissists are true - they do horrible things!! It seems like our society has an overabundance of them in it, and that may make this thought irrational, but it seems if someone is diagnosed as a narcissist, it should almost put them into a bracket like that of a criminal!! Why can't something be done to prevent narcissists from being able to BE AROUND the rest of the folks in the world? I do realize this thought and or request is somewhat crazy, because there are SO MANY narcissists these days. Also that all narcissists may not be criminals, but they DO rob people of the quality of life that they should be able to pursue!! They wreak havoc on all around them, whether it is realized or not. They lie, steal and cheat to satisfy themselves and have no concern for other's feelings or boundaries or even property; they are nasty underneath even if looking like the perfect gentleman on the exterior - deceitful and cunning. And they do not stop. They leave a path of destruction and a trail of pain & suffering. It seems they all need to be hauled off to a mental institution to first of all SEE if there is hope for them to behave within the guidelines of appropriate behaviour, and the ones that are truly hopeless can be in a different sector for extreme therapy, guidance and rehabilitation. I just feel like there has to be SOMETHING that can be done about the toxic people that narcissists ARE!!! It would be nice to say prisons are those places, but I'm willing to bet that many are too slick to be caught up in legal problems, though not ALL. Also, that while nasty, all may not BE actual criminals, just like ALL the people in prisons probably aren't guilty of their accused crimes. It just seems as though there could be a way to separate narcissists from those of us who want to actually treat others the way they want to be treated - to be respectful to others as well as respected, to live an honest and productive life and teach others to do the same, as well as learn life's lessons on the way.

Absolutely. Although men are more often called/diagnosed as narcissistic, this may very well reflect the values of our society, which traditionally celebrates, and elevates, the character of women.

@@fleecejohnson6939 so true. He couldn’t see all that he had done to cause the distrust. Unbelievable! This woman was calling at 10:00 at night, he denied who was calling, then went to contacts to show me her abbreviated name and phone number like that proved something. I hit send message and all these messages begin to populate. I couldn’t see them well (didn’t have my glasses on) but I saw several $$$ amounts so I believe he was giving her money. He quickly took the phone, scrolled through and THEN recalled who it was claiming SHE called him asking for help on selling her parents property (he is not a realtor). Assured me there was nothing sexual going on and said, “I am here with you.” Story/reason didn’t even make sense. A year prior he told me they dated 15 years ago on and off for 3 years and she was unstable (alcoholic, pills and a gambler) so he ended it. He had blocked her and never wanted anything to do with her. When I brought this discrepancy up he would not address it?? Just claimed he was friends with all his ex girlfriends which was new to me. The fact she was calling late at night leads me to believe they had been talking late at night and texting which is still cheating in my mind because it’s being done in secret. We didn’t live together. I think he was grooming her for a back up. Still very hurt and upset over the whole thing but I know I needed to see who he was. He thought I would believe his lies and just claim I was insecure and buy it. 4 months no contact. I blocked him right after this. Only one Hoover 5 days after this (he left some items on my porch).

Thank you for posting this. My narcissistic ex cheated on me with his coworker and I had a gut feeling it was happening, but he gaslighted me into thinking I was crazy. I now look back in hindsight and realize that right around the time he started cheating, he was starting fights with me all the time over the stupidest things, so that he could justify his cheating by acting like we were so unhappy and fighting all the time. Little did I know that he was purposely creating the unhappiness. I spent years thinking it was my fault and that I did something to make us unhappy, and tried to fix things that were not broken. Not that I was perfect; I definitely had things to work on and we really weren't meant to be together anyways. But he could've just said that. He didn't have to make me think I was crazy and create all this chaos just to justify his choices.

@@sharipeterson1126 very true.. well said!! I agree about recording behavior, but I also have seen situations where it could go either way.

But you’re right that narcs do crave chaos and any documentation of proof will ultimately be helpful in the long run.

[@sharipeterson1126]

@Sweetie Lady the reason I mention recording their behavior is so their victims can use it when trying to get a restraining order. Also, narcs betray their financial bad deeds a lot of times during fits of anger, so if you're able to record them letting something slip, you're that much better. One narcissist told the judge, while I was trying to get a restraining order, that he had lied. That was all the judge needed to tell him he's a pathological liar and he didn't believe a word he'd said. He gave me the restraining order.

24 years and my foundation has been completely ripped out from under me. I don’t even trust myself to know what is real and true at this point! So I find myself mistrusting everyone in my life

You are making me so happy in this chapter. I am addicted to your videos and I say the bad word, BUT I need to focus other life related activities to preserve the rest of my sanity. You are a blessing to this world with this channel. Thank you.

It’s all so painful! I don’t know how I will ever recover… I am trying to get away… afraid! Thanks for talking about it! So many people have no idea and everyone really thinks he is the best person ever! Makes me sick!

[@dwaynemcinnes5914]

I just got away. I hope that you are ok. Maybe you could help me in my recovery..any ideas luv?

[@denisadashar8533]

My ex narc cheated on me with a girl and now wants to cheat on the same girl (who became his gf in the meantime) with me !!! He keeps sending me all kind of messages (you're the love of my life kind of things) even though he is blocked. Out of anger for what he is doing, I send a message to his girlfriend telling her that I would be glad if she accepts to talk to me. She didn't answer to me. He told me that they spoke about it and that whatever I have to say she doesn't want to know... I really don't know what lies he told her about me !

[@Jazzonyt]

I'll never understand what's so hard about being faithful to the person you love.

[@GLesbihonest]

Right!!!

That narcissists don't love, at least not the way emotionally healthy people do.

[@akosh1976]

exactly what IH said....they don't love u...u just think they do

[@cc1k435]

​@@Low__Key Too true. They have a way of hating anything and everything that belongs to them, including people. 🙄

Entitlement…it’s called entitlement…the narcissist feels entitled to share themselves

[@dianecole1982]

Yes because they get bored easily. Need that new supply who has no idea whats going on.

[@Lannie74]

You absolutely NAILED it!!!! I could identify or relate to every single thing you said!

[@pjihae]

Not all narcissists cheat, but I do think that most cheaters are narcissists. Infidelity is an inherently narcissistic and abusive act.

[@mrvocal21]

Absolutely, its an extremely callous thing to do

[@timefilm]

The only time they don't cheat is when they don't get any takers

[@lillybethford1915]

I agree👍 to a certain point. ALL narcissists cheat, physical…emotional or both. Particularly covert narcissist, they’re so sneaky, a well-seasoned investigator may have a difficult time discovering the lies they hide. I think in order to deal with the issue, many victims delude themselves into believing differently. They view cheating as an entitlement and if they’re not cheating ‘at this moment’, the opportunity hasn’t presented itself..YET.

[@SteveSavage79]

Well said.

[@elkebanhart7045]

Yess 👍🥴

[@jillcannonsobrado1049]

Yes! My narcissistic abuser carried on several complete relationships for almost a decade. I'd be discarded (I didn't know anything about anything until I started writing everything down and recognized that there was a very distinct pattern, a cycle. Every 7 to 10 days for 8 years, he'd pick a bogus fight, ghost me, and then when he was done making his rounds, he'd hit me up as if nothing ever happened. I, being a codependent with abandonment issues, was left bewildered, crushed, often spending days curled up on the bathroom floor crying and completely broken. In the summer of 2021, he was gone for 3 months, missing my birthday, and I lost 30 pounds.. unable to eat, to sleep, or even function in my day to day life. I'd been accustomed to the weekends, or a week but months...I completely could not deal. I began keeping a journal of all the abusive tactics he'd use to keep me broken, to keep me wanting him to come bk and make all the overwhelming pain go away. After Dr. Ramani taught me every single aspect of narcissist and narcissistic abuse. I became strong...realizing that it wasn't me, I wasn't stupid, I wasn't the moronic idiot he'd proclaimed that I was. He had taken a once extremely self confident, self secure, strong woman and belittled, devalued, and gaslit into to thinking that I was the most egregious person to have ever walked the face of the earth. That I had mental issues, that my memory was horrible, that I was hearing things and making up scenarios in my head that he just couldn't take anymore...those were his excuses for abandoning me... The future faking was intense, the love bombing was extreme, the devaluing was destructive and the continuous discarding was utterly unbearable...until I stood up and finally used my voice to explain to this person that I wasn't going to take his abuse...emotional, psychological, verbal, and yes...physical abuse anymore. I called him out on alllll his bs (I know I wasn't supposed to to but I needed him to know that I wasn't the idiot here...the idiot here was the absurdly mentality deficient A-hole who believed his own made up lies about me, discarded the only MF-er who had ever had his back in every situation, and who honestly believed that I would not find out about these other women (and men) he was having sex with on our bed and that I would just take it.. accept it and continue to allow that horrific behavior to continue while sticking around. It's been 12 weeks.. I cry every day, but I journal every memory of even the slightest hint of abuse, neglect, and overall mistreatment of me. This has saved me and my sanity. He called me yesterday and proclaimed very loudly that I was the reason we did not work out. He's right. Im the one who gained the knowledge of what was happening, gained the strength to walk away, and ultimately.. got the F outta that hell that I has been living in for 8 very long, sad, lonely years. I don't know who I am yet, but I've an idea that I'm pretty amazing, and I plan to live out my life in an amazingly, informed manner. Ty Dr Ramani. I believed u truly saved my life... and gave me bk the power that he had stolen from me.

[@sarahvanwye9551]

Mines a covert narcissist. And he’s spent all his time since I found out subtlety implying I was to blame, gaslighting me that he didn’t actually cheat and having amnesia it seems. Interesting thing is for years he accused me of possibly cheating!! While I’m taking care of our kids 24/7 like I’d ever have time to do that and I never would, never did…even when he’s been abusing me for years. I still wouldn’t do that. God sees all. Thank you for your videos so I can learn and get a grip on reality while I figure out how to get out of this mess I’m in.

[@KamelaSSpivey]

You CAN do it, though! Being aware of it is the first step. Just commit to doing it to better yourself & prevent your children from seeing, sensing things you do not want them to repeat - they are sponges, you know! Don't end up in legal entanglements like I have done; now I can't even focus on healing so much but instead have to focus on maintaining my freedom to even explain the truth of the entire situation!! I believe my case is rare, but I'm interested to find out if other legal and or criminal cases have been all because of a narcissist and their actions. I intend to find out & hopefully get the help I need!!

[@valorideekon7716]

The narcissist I was with did cheat. Sadly there was absolutely no reason to cheat. We both had a high sexual appetite. I was absolutely floored when I found out he was cheating. He was going to sex clubs, meeting up on one night stand etc, etc, etc. It horrified me to come to realize what he could have exposed me to … luckily I am clean. I loved myself enough to walk away. Be safe out there … there is light at the end of the tunnel.

I will never understand how a woman can do that to another woman! It is an awful way to be, and a disappointment for the whole female race!!

Yup, my ex did the same. Had a baby with her and called me that same day to tell me "I really hope you know this doesn't change anything between us." And proceeded to want to have sex over the phone.

I can't thank you enough for producing these... it is taking me a long time to realize I am not crazy and that what is happening to me is insanely fucked up. I'm realizing my partner has convinced everyone I know that I am crazy and I am being gaslighted by not just my partner anymore, but by my dearest friends who see how charming and fun my partner is and see me now as being unstable the more I try to protect and defend myself. It is a crushing hopeless place to be.

[@shelley7975]

Just keep educating yourself with Dr. Ramani, and Dr. C. They will help you detach from the narc, and you will learn how to trust yourself again. Stay strong and focused.

Just start again and get new friends. The old ones will eventually see the truth but you have to think whether they are worth it or not.

[@susanstatesheale]

I could have written your comment. Crazy, isn’t it, how their behavior can be so accurately described by a complete stranger.

[@reddove108]

I'm a 64-year-old man who's still dealing with the toxic effects of a narcissistic mother and a cheating narcissist I had a relationship with over 30 years ago. The romance was with a married woman (now deceased). It was my first serious sexual relationship and a template of sorts was formed in my brain. Of course, the time came when I received the "Dear John" letter. This came while she had begun a sexual relationship with another man. The romance began with what I've learned is called "love bombing." She flattered me at every turn and pleased me sexually. For someone like me, a young man with zero self-confidence, this was a brief golden age where anything seemed possible. She convinced me I needed to attain higher education in order to be a better earner when the day came she would be leaving her husband (a high earner). So, I stupidly went back to school, starting at a CC, transferring to the Ivy League and then on to law school. And she pulled the rug out from under me. I'm fortunate to have found a good, caring woman to whom I will be married a dozen years next month. She has been supportive in my efforts to heal. What I've written here is not to encourage sympathy but instead to demonstrate how destructive narcissism can be. I wish you all healing...

[@marciachatham1112]

Dr. Ramani THANK YOU! Trust me those 2 words represent a million words on my heart.

[@pennymcintyre4403]

Hi....I want to thank you for being out there...I feel like i was one of the blessed ones to have found you and your videos. Me and the Narc in my life had an awesome summer vacation..3 days after we got back i asked him to leave...he was so caught off guard. He moved out after trying to push my buttons. I moved out of my own home until he was gone . He says he is still in shock and doesnt understand what he done wrong...he was seeing another when he was still sweet talking me...good thing i never said i was his girlfriend..that would have been more devistating. Thank you again...feeling blessed seeing your videos at the start of this friendship/relationship.

[@mjblazy]

It’s so heartbreaking. And the irrational becomes rational in their minds. Wow. This information is so true and helpful l

[@klyzn]

This hurts me so bad. This is what I been going through for the last 5 years!!! And I have 2 year old twin boys with her. I started educating myself on this because I haven't done nothing wrong. I been loyal, I work, take care of our home and have a big heart but she so cold to me. She got caught cheating twice and barely found out she did it the third time and was trying to do it again. I'm really hurt! Thus is a horrible feeling because I really try to be a family man.

Thank you so much. Please stay on this course. Manipulating people love for others to not see the real truth.

[@josephkaminer2337]

I just wanted to tell you that I am a magnet to narssistic personalies. And I came to the conclusion that I ignored the signs early on in the relationship. I should of shut the door when unacceptable behavior took place. They always show their bad behavior right away to see how you react, if your a sucker or not. You reinforced my thoughts on Gate keeping early on and avoiding the damage. They do so much harm that it cost you years. You can't get back your time, it important. So thank you lady!

[@tweety538182009]

What I could never understand is who he cheated with. I mean no disrespect towards these women, because they had no idea that he was in a relationship. Each time the infidelity would come to the surface, it caused me more trauma than just the cheating alone, because the women he chose weren't anywhere near my level or what he told myself and others that he wanted in a relationship or what he was "supposedly" attracted to. I don't know how else to say this, so I'll repeat what he said, which was: "if someone is going to step out of their relationship, they should at least upgrade." These women weren't upgrades. It made me view myself even lower than I already was, because he had programed me to believe that if he did cheat, he'd choose a woman of higher value. So when they weren't, it devastated me. I know this sounds awful. I really am not trying to down anyone. I'm just trying to explain my mentality during the relationship. I also wasn't in the habit of comparing myself to others or placing value and judgement on others before him. I really lost myself for a while.

[@happinessblush]

I have experienced this myself.

[@beatitcreep.]

I feel you! My ex also cheated on me with a woman that was less pretty and less successful than me. When that happened, my self-esteem was already so low that it made me feel completely worthless. Now, I think he just did it because she worshiped him and it made him feel validated. She was probably easier to impress and to manipulate, too. The woman my ex cheating on me with was gullible enough that she took him back after learning that he had lied to her (she didn't know he was in a relationship with me). He since has discarded her, too and has found new supply.

[@happinessblush]

@@beatitcreep. All narcs are like that. They dont even know what they want. They have no standards, no clarity, they just get bored after a while and nothing is good enough for them. It definitely affects our self esteem but we must know our real worth and should not let it affect us. The problem lies with them, not us. The best we can do is just not argue or try to explain ourselves as its very useless and just start a new life. Its very difficult but there is no other option.

[@kellieguarino6208]

Because narcissists fuel their false sense of self and feel superior when they control and manipulate others. Additionally, supply is not always chosen for appearance but for other benefits which can widely range depending on what the user wants. They are like fleas constantly sucking the life blood out of others in order to get what they want.

[@Flyingrabbit2222]

The problem could be that he recognized you were a cut above HIM. So he chose women who would make HIM feel important.
