Absolutely. The overanalyzing only happened when he was cheating and lying and triangulating. He'd punish me by walking out and raging and dumping me. Even when I found the truth, he denied it.

After the break up, narc took new pics of himself, I mean GRAND pics. This was to get attention. When he married 10 mos later, he randomly told people he had gotten married and that he was SO happy now because he'd been wanting to get married for a long time..uummm, he'd been married 3x. A newlywed does not need to tell anyone they are so happy, I clearly knew this as well as one of the people he KNEW would tell me he got married. I knew he was not by himself long, he was cheating while with me. I knew more about him than he actually thought I knew. You can't tell these people all that you know about them. You better do your homework on folks before dating them. Everything is everyone else's fault. I'm genuinely a happy person so he didn't have to build up my happiness. I noticed afterwards that he really was trying to be like me but he couldn't and seeing me happy after him and his miserable marriage, hmmm...blood boiling...not my fault I am who I am.

Yes, I took accountability for catching him in a lie, then got punished by getting "blocked," then got discarded by questioning him if he actually cares. This sequence of patterns happened several times but this time, he wanted a real idiot but couldn't find it in me anymore & couldn't handle it by saying, "I refuse to take part in such nonsense & I should not talk to you anymore." Oh well, I'm glad he has several other idiots to feed his ego. 😊

YES!!! He told me I was “high stress” “hot” and he likes “cool” women, told me I was not emotionally mature and I was disturbing his “flow” with work and also blamed me for drinking. Lol…. In the relationship/situationship I was listening to “emotional intelligence” podcast and reading books to grow in that area since he convinced me that I was the only problem in our relationship. CrAzY!!! So grateful I left on 4/2/22 with no contact! I’ve had so much healing with EMDR, your posts(THANK YOU), and an online Christian program for healing from narcissistic abuse. He also told me to not tell him anything negative(close friend’s husband got possible cancer diagnosis). He didn’t want me to share any emotions EVER!🤯🙄 Boy BYE!!!👋🏽💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻

Thank you for this great video, Ben and that great comment about saying I did not cause that person to do this. Exnarc blamed me and had the nerve to say that I didn't have his best interests. The gaslighting and blame shifting this time around were absolutely horrible. I'm back to no contact and today is day 7. I tried to be a good person and help him in his bad situation only to be used, lied to and manipulated. No matter what we do for them it is never enough and they'll always find fault and blame everything on us for their decision making.

Hey Ben. I'm glad you brought up "unconditional adoration" I feel that at least in my case, narcs confuse unconditional love with unconditional adoration. I have been told several times that by my attempting to confront and address issues I am proving that I am the one who is looking at our relationship as "transactional" because I am supposed to love uncontionally. About the first 10 years or longer I took that to heart and it caused a lot of ruminating and self doubt. At some point as I was coming out of the fog I heard someone quote "unconditional love does not equate to unconditional tolerance" and it became a small piece in my journey that helped combat that terrible internal self talk. I know now that it is all part of the m.o. the projection, the reversals, the subtle passive aggressive digging at your foundation... but can you introspect on that concept from your personal experience and maybe do a video on your perspective of how you view unconditional love versus unconditional adoration? Thank you.

You’ve taught me as much as anyone. When I’m better financially I’ll take the challenge. Psychopath Free was a helpful book. Top three for me. I just wish he would’ve not used the word psychopath. I’m very aware of the overlap but to me it was a book about narcissistic partners not sociopathy. Regardless it was one of the books that helped break the spell (along with cancer). Even after two years of what I know was abusive as my girl friend I remained platonic friends for eight years. I just refused to ignore her words and accept her actions. She would have had to be a pathological liar I remember thinking. Bingo. Friends tend to visit friends with stage three cancer. At least once. It took my life being under threat and seeing her genuine lack of care underneath the mask. To make me angry and I began to question if anything ever had been true. To her no. I was just a younger sex partner that was cute and then inconveniently in love. The real kind. Not the kind where it’s about status or money. Once my use was done with she ended up marrying a retiree with millions. 20 years older than any man she’d ever dated. Just as she hit menopause. 😅😊😊 But I’m still in denial that someone could have truly been so heartless. She gaslit me so wholly I was apologizing years later for things I never did. Meanwhile she (as I finally know now. ) Had spent half of the first year sleeping with an old supply. It was shocking for a long time as was the reinvention of history in her mind. That’s when I gave up the ghost. She doesn’t live in reality. Her lies are her truth. Which must be accepted to remain in her presence. Realizing that the love bomb was not a real person has been beyond heartbreak to me. It’s been 11 years. Just to accept that I was so profoundly and cruelly tricked. I thought I was a better judge of character. Getting the same cancer as her ex, dealing with suicidal ideation. Her ex died of suicide during the cancer bout. Same exact kind of cancer I’ve fought twice now. Testicular. Seems like the kind of thing someone besides me would find odd or least sad. Or the other suicide ex and trail of men that ended up sick. But I guess I can’t expect people to be more aware than I was. Living with her. People think cruelty and evil are done by ugly dirty people. Not beautiful wholesome kind caring people ( in appearance). They absolutely are and charm, looks often help people get away with it. For this reason alone. Looks. Pathetic. It’s so much easier to cast me as crazy. In the end I feel hurt by society more than one sick woman.

Thank you for sharing your story and expressing your feelings. It takes a lot of strength to acknowledge and process the manipulation and hurtful behavior you experienced. It can be incredibly challenging to come to terms with the realization that someone you cared about could be so heartless. Please know that you are not alone, and there are many others who have gone through similar experiences. Your journey towards healing and self-discovery is courageous, and I hope you continue to find support and understanding along the way. Remember to be kind to yourself and surround yourself with people who truly appreciate and value you.

What does fault matter to us both being miserable, fault doesn't help change where we are now. That's what I use to say to her over the most trivial things, and even pull up past events of how she perceived everything as disrespectful or malevolently calculated. Made me realize that her memory of me or hypothetical self betrayed her. I would get blamed for things that her skewed image of me , will do in the future. I asked her why her "why does your brain do that about me? You know I love you", with a sincere shrug of the eyebrows on a gloomy face, she looked down and said "I don know". Acknowledging by admission of the uncontrollable and undesired dysfunction. I told her she needs help. Her brain is betraying her. That was the last .or maybe first time even I got to talk to the authentic, raw, ....her. 22years........

OMG, similar thing happened to me: he sent me a text of a pair of panties that were the same color as mine, but wrong brand, asking if I’d forgotten them at his place! When I said I didn’t he claimed he must have put them in his laundry bag by mistake at the laundromat (we live in NYC, most of us have to use a laundromat). I was stunned. I remember choosing to give him a pass because I didn’t think he would purposely expose himself, and because I have occasionally ended up with other people’s socks when I’ve done my laundry. EXCEPT a that I couldn’t stop thinking that women don’t put lace panties in a commercial washer and drier. And of course it turned out he was cheating, and how!
