I Married a Psychopath - How to avoid marrying someone who is psychopathic

[@-cMc-]

The more you know about psychopaths the better chances you have to avoid them

[@comediansruinthebacheloret4433]

What a lovely and well-adjusted human being

[@pasha_3127]

What an inspiring lady

[@AveriesMiranda]

Thank you for sharing! I was in a similar situation and I definitely think he has psychopathic traits.

[@anamuraro]

Empathy is a superpower bc we're connected to our true Selves. Psychopaths, narcissists and such only experience the ego's perspective, which is shallow af and based on fear. It's hell. I'm glad your kids scaped the condition.

[@TheFriendlyPsychopath]

You sound goofy.

[@ZoneZero-sm9jv]

@@TheFriendlyPsychopath You must be so embarrassed.

[@jflsdknf]

Yep psychopaths are completely devoid of any positive feelings or experiences from such joys like true love and human connection that they have to search for excitement to replace it the only way they know how, through shallow evil things like manipulation, violence, cheating etc. What an awful way to be. But the really sad part is they can never even come close to understanding this.

[@LindyLouCantu]

Wow! I had no idea psychopaths number 1 in 100! Thank you for your warnings. So sorry you had to go through all of that! Such a lovely lady.

[@vaska1999]

4 in 100 in the US, by far the highest rate in the world.

[@asdfghyter]

@@vaska1999 US culture is designed to celebrate and promote psychopathic traits, so I'm not that surprised!

[@laraista]

Parents of psychopaths do support their psychopath offspring. One of the parents usually is a psychopath, too. Psychopathy is highly hereditary, one hence meets them in clusters which makes the handling of them more difficult. Psychopaths cause money loss & trauma.

[@conantheseptuagenarian3824]

i thought they were just serial killers. you have no language to deal with the situation when you meet one of these people because the culture doesn't provide you with the analytical tools. you try to describe their behavior to others and it doesn't come across well and it produces deep feelings of isolation. it makes you feel gaslit by reality.

[@hannahbridges1708]

A "Psychopath" or "Sociopath" is someone with antisocial personality disorder. One of the symptoms is in fact not serial killing. Especially since the diagnostic manuals say "lacking empathy" not "no empathy at all". Hope this helps 😌

[@nikobitan7294]

​@@hannahbridges1708No, psychopaths simply don't feel empathy.

[@hannahbridges1708]

@@nikobitan7294 That's literally NOT how it works. It's a spectrum, just like literally any illness out there. Yeah some may have symptoms that are that bad, but most don't and DO feel empathy even if it's only on very rare occasions. Having 100% zero empathy is not in the diagnostic criteria for ASPD. Instead it's a LACK of empathy, meaning lesser empathy than is normal for the brain.

[@vaska1999]

Oh no. Only a small percentage of psychopaths kill people. Most are to be found in the police, the medical profession, and law.

[@SierraLupoi]

It’s very suspicious not to know anything because it’s everywhere nowadays. Thanks to her honest approach to politics I believe she’s trustworthy and truthful.

[@DrSoundZero]

Thank you for sharing that empathy is what made you a target while recognizing that empathy is also your superpower. I admire your strength to at least eventually maintain and share your empathy even after your journey through what sounds to me like hell. You are stronger than you probably get or give yourself credit for.

[@PutinsMommyNeverHuggedHim]

I think it’s the gullibility that makes you a target of conmen rather than empathy

[@-cMc-]

We have evolved vocabulary finally

[@heatherwhitehead3743]

I live with one.

[@FightClass3]

Wow.. well said!

[@jflsdknf]

They are evil honey.

[@ZerodaxAxy]

No you're wrong. Do you feel empathy for insects? Do you feel guilty for killing them? Does that make you evil? Stop being hypocritical and try to understand their POV.

[@jflsdknf]

@@ZerodaxAxy Yes, some people do feel empathy and guilt for killing insects, although humans certainly are not comparable to bugs. Psychopath.

[@purewisdom245]

thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ for the video

[@mariashchetynska4419]

Oh, the last words in the last video disclose a person with a very high empathy and that’s what attracted a psychopath to you. People very high in empathy are psychopaths magnets. You are also very naive. How could you not think it was weird that he wanted to give the money to the people threatening your family? Usually one doesn’t give the money but goes to the police in such cases. There are many questions unanswered. I wish to know: - what is your relationship now with the other women? Your kids are half-siblings. - How did his other wife find out about you? - did no one of the other women had suspicions? - do you still love him? - Did you try to make him change? - what did you do right after finding out? - what was his reason for wanting to have that much money from the women? He might have a certain reason for that.

[@dotsyjmaher]

Oh they ARE evil

[@-cMc-]

These ppl aren't inherently evil. They just lack empathy. School should be educating on this

[@hannahbridges1708]

Finally I found someone here with actual knowledge. 😩✌️

[@nikobitan7294]

Lacking empathy and concern for other beings and feeling joy in ruining their lives and causing suffering is the definition of evil.

[@vaska1999]

Lacking empathy = evil.

[@ZerodaxAxy]

You're wrong, if you don't have empathy to insects and don't feel guilty for killing them, does that mean you are evil?

[@derkchurk5879]

Boaderlines aren't much better.

[@HexagonSun990]

I don't think that's true.

[@dianeaishamonday9125]

Depends on if they've done Dialectical Behavioral Therapy

[@bigfatburn6229]

Bordelines are the opposite of psychopaths. They feel too much!!

[@killua20203]

Not true at all. BPD do have empathy. Psychopaths don't, big difference.

[@1strights]

@@bigfatburn6229 It’s the accompanying abusive behavior, whatever the cause, that likely draws the comparison. Jmo.

[@vaska1999]

This woman was engaged to the psychopath for two years, enough time to get to know another person.

[@mariashchetynska4419]

So do you think he disclosed himself to her? It’s easy to judge when you have not been in her shoes. And yes maybe she was not smart enough to see the red flags and was naive but it doesn’t justify what he did to her and others.

[@vaska1999]

@@mariashchetynska4419 It doesn't take a genius to suss up a person you're intimate with over a two-year period (not counting the time she knew and dated him before they got engaged). There's such a thing as wilful blindness, you know.

[@bellaluce7088]

​@@vaska1999 I'm seeing needless judginess, character aspersions, and lack of empathy towards a survivor of psychopath exploitation. Pretty ironic that in another comment on this page you wrote "lacking empathy = evil." 🧐 Psychopaths don't have the guilt, fear of discovery, or nervous system dysregulation that would afflict most neurotypical people if they tried telling bald-faced lies to an actual loved one's face. Yet somehow it's supposedly the victim's fault for not magically knowing she was being deceived by someone who fooled MANY people? Nope! 1 in 100 means a LOT of psychopaths fly under the radar. How about *THANKING* her for literally writing books and doing these interviews to educate others so they're less likely to be duped by the ones who run cons! Also, lacking empathy does NOT = evil, and it should go without saying that that's profoundly disrespectful to people with autism. It's also ignorant about what people with psychopathic biology who DON'T go on to commit evil acts can offer society (e.g. becoming surgeons or bomb disposal experts, etc.). Scientist James Fallon's story is a good example of this.
