No one will hate you more, than a narcissist who used to tell you "I love you".
I m sorry that you went through that .
Yes, telling you that empty, meaningless, "I love you", but really already hating you the whole time in their hearts.
I know for a fact, my ex hated me from the day he set his eyes on me, when he asked me to "marry" him, and I said, to my own detriment, "yes", through the entirety of our pimp/whore relationship, to the bitter and resentful end, and to the present day, as far as I know.
I'm thankful to finally know the Truth and that evil union is finally over. Now, let the healing begin....hopefully.
They hated you the whole time they told you, "I love you." They were repulsed by you because you are a lesser being.
💯
I thought this was an interesting comment that time you posted on one of Dr Ramani's other videos. The fact you have posted it verbatim, makes me think there's a story there. Would you mind sharing a little bit more if it's not too painful?
Break up with a narcissist is a whole different feeling then a break up from a Person that isn't a narcissist.
Normal Break up broke my heart. Break up from a narcissist my soul broke. I was stripped to nothing. I almost didn't make it through.
Here I am 2 years later, loving myself with my strong boundaries, morals and values. 😊
I can relate. Soul crushing is an understatement. I wanted to die. Feeling better and better as time goes on but for me it's only been 7 months. Sending healing energy🙏💓
Yes THANK YOU!
Yes! This is my experience too!
I'll be there soon! Thank you for sharing.
❤
I don't miss feeling like I'm having a nervous breakdown every day of my life. Thank you, Dr. Ramani, for explaining this dynamic so well. 💝
Nervous breakdown! This!!!!
That’s a great explanation of what life is like living with a narcissist!! We learn the hard way we can’t be our authentic, flawed, sincere selves. The things we have to waste time and energy on, the worries that follow us, learning their triggers. Becoming attuned to them to guide our behavior. We become silent, less expressive and alive; more nervous. Not expressing thoughts or ideas because they’re weaponized. But for our hearts and silent truths, there’s nothing genuine. All the lessons we learn with them are learned the hard way; then fear/anxiety/panic set in. It’s hard not to slip in a moment and just be ourselves. Being ourselves shouldn’t be a bad thing, or a slip. We learn it is. The hard way. And everyday nervous breakdowns are what we suffer as they go about their merry way. It’s exhausting, taxing, and aging. It’s devastating when in time, we lose touch with ourselves. We wonder who we are after a while. I think we don’t always realize until we’ve been free from it just how harmful it is on our heart, mind, and soul, and our bodies. Thank you for your comment ❤
I turned to Jesus Christ and Trust God Almighty and pray continually, Jesus Christ said To watch and pray,,,, the Narcissistic spirit is of the darkness, and don't believe the Lies of the devil 🌑 stuff
I felt so stressed & nervous the entire 6 wks of dating one!
Yesssss, nerves on high alert 24/7, walking on eggshells.
It was all of a sudden. He just decided that was it. Lack of intimacy, ghosting, devalued, and discarded. It's been rough not going to lie. I will survive.
You’ll be happier without them, trust me
Anyone can decide when a relationship is over with. We can only lose the wrong person.
Karma always has an address.
People fall out of love and grow apart. Happy couples don't break up. We cannot control other people . Only we can control ourselves.
Understanding attachment styles, how behavior effects relationships.
We are subconsciously or consciously attracted to people who resemble our childhood caregivers

Same here. My ex bf couldn't confess, practiced ghosting, no accountability and lack of empathy. One day he just left me to marry another woman abroad. I didn't know until one of his sisters told me. He was one of the biggest cowards I've ever met in my life. I didn't know anything about narcissism then but it's clearer now after watching these videos
@@Limemelon2023cowardice is a theme with them
I was like this to my ex i didnt love, was I a narcisist or just didnt love her enough?
No one falls in love faster than a narcissist trying to get fresh supply
Pretends to love - they cannot truly love or be loved. They are opportunists.
Wow, such a simple statement that captures so much of the reality! ❤️👍
Or also in mines case- needs a place to live! 😂
Sure any free opportunity
Funny but true.
Narcissists are sort of like addicts, They love you as long as you have something to offer them. But in reality they are either not capable of loving themselves or are so in love with themselves there is no room for you at all.
Yes I find they adore themselves.....like really adore themselves
Victims learn not to love themselves in this dynamic
Not only they think they have big hearts, they are chosen ones, no one understand them... but they will tell you something bothers them from other people while they do the exact same thing OR they will lecture you on what you should do while they do the opposite!! It's an interesting but horrifying thing to witness.
They are some sad mixed up mofos!
Omg!!!! Perfect description!!! Thank you

Yes!!!! I get this.
I was the one that walked out. I knew it was coming for a long time. One day I really sat by myself and put the pros n cons on a mental scale and said yeah I need to get out now. I started arguing n bitching as much as he did and said this isn’t me! Time to go! I left on 5/8/23 and haven’t looked back nor been back. I’m the happiest I’ve been in 4 decades with him. He still can’t believe it
Congratulations!! I love how we remember the date we left. I left on 9/25/21, and like you, I’m so happy! Congratulations, again, on your freedom and joy!!
@@ginalorraine1899 yes the date is very meaningful! On the 8th of every month since I left my kids take me out to lunch or dinner to celebrate my freedom! I had no idea they had been sitting around all these years just praying I’d leave their dad..
Well done I'm on the verge after 3.8 decades exit strategy now in place I'm planning complete end of September, my bottle is being tested like never before. Good luck to you
@@joncarey2518 GOOD LUCK TO YOU!! And I mean that from the depths of my soul because NOBODY should have to deal with their mess!
He hugged me and said, “I couldn’t love you anymore than I do right now.” Two weeks later, he was done with me. I was married for 30 years. They all have an end date even after many years and experiences.
Me, after 37 years.. I'm so sorry Julie.
Same happened to me after 27 years and two beautiful kids. Never saw it coming. Sure, we had our issues /problems like everyone does. But to claim you love a person so much for so long, and then have the ability to instantly discard them like trash- that takes a special kind of evil/mental illness. I'm so sorry that this happened to you (and others). No one deserves this kind of treatment and absolute heartbreak. All the best to you. Move forward and make your life happy again.
@@thewanderer6637 Thank you. I’m good now. I see the whole picture. I get it. Not normal at all but I do understand how and why I was vulnerable to these kinds of relationships.
My narcissistic dad did this, abandoned me at 30 years old, just out of nowhere. Divorced my mother after 43 years, remarried her past best friend and, then, abandoned us.
@@ac-hk4fs Yes, it is completely abnormal and other people will never get it if they haven’t had the experience. Although, I’d never wish it on anyone. I’ve had great counseling so I’m on the other side now. I have learned so much.
My breakup was long and drawn out. My ex-husband threatened me multiple times to divorce me, but then I guess he enjoyed seeing me jump through hoops and bend myself into further knots because he never acted on his threats. Until one day after not taking his shoes off -- his shoes were tells that he was about to say something horrible to me, so I knew something was up -- he told me he wanted a divorce. And this time I did not argue or get too angry and I said okay. I had begged him for three years to go to marriage counseling because he repeatedly told me he was upset and unhappy, yet he wouldn't give me one hour a week to fix it. The last time he said he wouldn't go to marriage counseling, I told him that I'd remember that if he ever expected me to do anything for him. Also at that point I was so sick of the abuse and neglect, I started standing up for myself and pointing out his BS, which he didn't like. So of course, I had to go.
It was never a marriage. Never. It was me versus him. It was him using me to get where he was and taking me down in the process. I had so many goals and things I wanted to accomplish, but being married to a narc is indeed a full time job. I devoted so much of my flagging energy to making HIM happy while he barely gave anything in return. I lost who I was. I didn't succeed at anything I set out to do. As much as I didn't want to go back home to my narc family, I had no choice. But at least here with them, I have friends again and a small support group that can help me deal with my family, whereas with him, he was all I had and it was a whole lot of nothing.
A few months ago, I got a wild hair up my rear and decided to look at his twitter feed. His pinned tweet was a group of wedding pictures to his new, younger wife. We had not been divorced a full year before he got remarried. I can't tell you the waves of relief that washed over me that now the Eye of Sauron was looking the other way! His new victim was a coworker, which confirmed to me that he had been grooming and cheating while we were married. He never mentioned this girl even once, but she'd been working with him for years. The worst/weirdest part was that she is a carbon copy of me, and her name is even similar to mine.
Ah well. That decade+ with him was a time I wish I could completely erase from my life and have a do over. I did things that I would never ever ever have done if I wasn't in such a terrible place with such a terrible person. Now I'm in therapy, and I'm trying to heal my trauma from childhood, trying to put my life back together and get what I never got from anyone, least of all the people whose blood I share and who said "I love you" while they abused.
Stay strong, survivors. A discard is the greatest gift a narcissist will ever give you.
Thank you, Dr. Ramani.
I left him. OMG 9 years later and he’s still interfering in my life through our autistic son for his own agenda.
Was with him from 19 to 53. Next serious relationship-again with a narc. I’m learning now. Knew nothing about narcissists prior to these two experiences. 😢
Similar story…
Sounds like my story!
Same here. My god they are so similar. He got married quite soon. His new wife after two years is already filing for divorce 😅 smarter than me I stayed 13 yrs with him. He is still trying to abuse me using our sons. They are monsters
@@Periquinfornite I extend you my deepest sympathies and the best digital hugs. It's an awful situation to be in. The only difference with me is that my ex didn't want children, so I'm not tied to him for the rest of my life, fighting with him about how to take care of the kids. I am so sorry you're having to endure parental alienation and this nasty demon sucking the life and energy out of you and your boys.
I hope you can find some good ways to cope and care for those sweet children. Nobody deserves this, and be kind to yourself because that monster isn't a creature of your own making. Bless you.
You told the story of my life- 15 years married, best friends,2 kids. Left suddenly for new love- only difference is, she didn’t want him. He interpreted this as part of her wonderfulness- of course she would never date a married man. 3 weeks later, he called, sobbing to come home. I told him to get help and then we’ll talk. Never happened, it’s now 30 years later. He has been alone with no other lasting relationship. Karma.
How satisfying!
Yep
He’s narcissistic he couldn’t have interpreted it as a part of “her wonderfulness” No, no, honey he interpreted it as part of his! And apparently got what his delusional self had coming to it!
To many people don't invest in a relationship, and get some sex, as long as they keep attracting the opposite sex. And then it's a competition about who is the most admired.
@@KristonMahr So true! And they wonder why there is always so much drama in their relationships! You hit the nail on the head they turn companionship into competition. They poison the waters of nourishment with this crap and wonder why the water (symbolic for nourishment) is poisoned.
You are a diamond DR Ramani. Your channel breaks curses and I am truthfully thankful.
after that heavy experience, I completely changed, maybe I became the strongest version of myself. It's hard, but you will be proud of yourself afterwards
Its terrible to mourn someone who is still alive....
I totally agree with you.
Agree !! It’s so tough
Being asked to be blind to betrayal, or ignoring the red flags is self abuse. It’s an individual ignoring their inner “butterflies” to be in a crap fit of a situation ship. The butterflies are actually stress responses and your body telling you…RUN.
Don’t settle for a familiar relationship that will not fulfill, sustain or nurture you.
I believe, as a consolidation, that as narcissists age, they become so much more challenging to deal with. My ex was narcissistic and has remarried. They seem blissful and are building a new house, the house of my former dreams.
I came to realize that I was raised by a narcissistic mother, which may account for why I chose and stuck with a narcissistic husband until he left me 27 years later. My mother recently passed away. The last year of her life, she treated me with hateful contempt, even more so than earlier in my life. I believe that narcissists become even more horrible to deal with as they age. I guess they realize death is bigger than they are, and maybe they question what happens after death, I don't know. All I know is my mom left this earth screaming and clawing at her life. She did not want to go, and acted like she wanted to take me with her.
What I saw in her death was a flash vision of what I could have had to endure had I remained in that terrible marriage. Just remember, with narcissists, it always gets worse, even though you cannot image how. They want to drag you to hell with them. Be glad you are no longer in the relationship and don't have to accompany them.❤
I love it when you wrote that death is bigger than them. I think about that quite a bit.
They absolutely want to drag you into their hell. And I get not imagining how things can get worse and the need get out.
At first my ex pretended to fear nothing. My ex's son told me that he, my ex, who I call the 'wasband', was terrified of the ocean. And he was/is. I'm not. I love it. Ex-wasband went to therapy for years - to learn how to pretend to be human. One of his 'takeaways' was to 'admit a personally harmless weakness.' He actually confessed that the ocean terrified him because it was 'bigger than him.' It could swallow him; consume him; it could erase him. He had no capacity to feel wonder at its vastness; comfort in the fact that there ARE things bigger than any of us; and that we are still here...to me it's my most tangible evidence of his petty self-idolatry. I believe that for 'them' death means annihilation - and that any petty narcissistic injury, even if unintentional (having to wait behind one person in line; a baby not sleeping through the night) triggers them at the same intensity. They can hide/compensate when they are 'spry' but aging limits us all...
@workinprogress3707 very insightful. Thanks for sharing that story. I do believe you have captured a part of their essence....the inability to be "wowwed" or awestruck. I do recall my ex narc never quite giving himself over to a moment of wonder, such as when a child was born. Anyway, very insightful.
@@Rut-vi7iz Thank you!
I don't miss being cheated on, devalued, lied to or blamed.
I do miss her personality, intelligence, our memories, and the person I thought she was. More than anything.
🙏 I feel your comment
i can`t cope with the idea that the one i loved more than anything in the world dosn`t really exist
I feel you on this
Exactly!!!
that person wasn't real, it's a projection of your own personality
Be careful of people who use others. They will tell you everything you want to hear:-/
Married 40 years, he just blind sided me. God is good, and He’s helped me heal. ❤ Thank you for the videos. It truly helps to know about the personality disorder.
Sorry to hear it…21yrs (w/an 11y/o son) and she moved out on her own, then began dating…I honestly believe the trash took itself out…
Good Luck❤️🩹
The relationship fell apart the moment the light turned on in my head, and I realized that although I loved this person, I deserved to be treated better. And through your videos, I see the red flags I missed, and I see the patterns you've pointed out to be aware of. I realized I was in a toxic narcissistic relationship, and I was losing myself in it. And I was nothing but supply. Hurts so, so much to face that truth, BUT I feel free and powerful. Every day that passes, it hurts a little bit less, and I feel stronger and happier every day. Like you said, Dr. Ramani: "You're much more than your narcissistic supply." Thank you! ❤😊
Same boat!
On the path with u..
Me too! Pass me an oar so we can move away faster!
Me too!!! I know exactly what you mean!!!
Your story is my story.
Working on freeing myself has just begun.
my narc hubby worked overseas on our 9th year and i found out years later, that his first (cheating) relationship started 2 months after he left the country. When I found out everything, all the girls (bec I was able to open his email and he never deleted his messages for 5 yrs), I was reeling. When I confronted him, he wanted me to switch to "friend mode" because he was "depressed" that the present girl found out about me. He wanted me to listen to his sad stories post their separation. When I asked him why her, he said she was like me, but better - that she was a manager at a big company, wore heels and makeup. I was so bewildered at all of it. It was really crazy. I couldnt even understand how he wanted me listen to their relationship woes. It felt like this was a different person. I found enough courage to stop talking to him. Now these videos help me understsnd what I went through. Thank you Dr. Ramani.
As much as it hurts to know.. Your hubby gave you a wake-up call about the realities of life - that everything here on, even we human beings, are subject to change.
That is nuts. I hung out with my narc ex a couple of months after our breakup. I guess I was looking for closure. She said she thought that I was there to win her back, but I said no. Then she proceeded to giddily text her ex in Texas, and she told me that she was considering moving there to get back with him, because he was talking about buying her a car. I think she was trying to make me jealous? Didn’t work. Ick.
"Your feelings don't matter" "This conversation is over" That's on you, not me." "You are boring when you are sober." "I never romanced you because you weren't fun." I walked away 3 months ago but I really miss the person I thought he was.
I understand missing the person you thought someone was.
Congratulations on walking away. ❤
You wont miss him in an year, i promise you that. You will start to feel cringe to ever fall for him. You are just going through trauma bond phase
Before you watch this video grab a piece of paper and write these 2 things down..First remember they have a never ending mindset of an 8 year old.. it's all about lack of responsibility and what they can get without having to be responsible...2nd, something Dr. R says in this vid, They left because it became too emotionally demanding....Right? We in a normal relationship rely on the other when life happens. In a narc relationship we are left holding the bag for both and we get tired, so as we occasionally reach out to the other they pull away because they have no responsibility and want to keep it as an 8 year old does..no responsibility..and if we attempt to push the issue because we need help, they go look for someone else to play with...ok keep these two things in mind when watching this, forget the mask and see them as an 8 year old....made sense to me....
This is so spot on thank you for sharing
Exactly. My ex husband discarded me when I need his emotional support.
Mine could state things and call me all the time when he was stressed about something, often repetitively and in a rant. If I brought up anything hard going on in my life, I was always negative and complaining.
The "I love you is more like hello" gave me a cold sweat...
😞
😂😂😂😂no lies detected.
Narcissistic "partners" abused me into breaking up with them. The one exception was someone who neglected me into the breakup. Very confusing. The one I married forced me into the breakup by his unimaginable cruelty. I wished he would get a new partner to distract him from his cruel focus on me, but looking back I think he had girlfriends, but managed to torture me while lovebombing others. I do not underestimate their ability to shapeshift anymore.
Same thing happened to me me
Same. Happening to me now 😔 hurts a lot.
Happening to me as well. I just am told I can’t “forgive and forget” abuse, sa,abandonment and cheating. That’s why I don’t get love anymore and he just looks at me with contempt asked me to apology for being a “bad” partner. That’s when u was done.
My narcissist used me to hurt his former partner, then threw me away when I questioned his sensitivity? I'm grateful I didn't spend as much time with him as she did.. but it's a problem for me.
They're so Charming in the beginning. I have abandonment issues and a narcissistic mother.
They use your weaknesses.
Thank you so much for your help. I'm so glad I found you!
Isn't it remarkable how, once recognized, how easy it is to pinpoint and even predict what they do? Thank God for you Dr. Ramani. You've really made me feel like there's SOMEONE in my corner.
Narcissist human is so confused by the demons that have taken up residence in their body they are not capable of love.
Thank you so much Dr. Ramani. The work you do and the way you help people is second to none. You and The Holistic Psychologist are the great healers of our time. ❤
Agreed and Idk what I would do without her. She has been getting me through the trauma of my breakup with my narcissistic ex. It's only been 6 months now since the breakup and yes he has already found a new supply who was already in the picture before we broke up. Sometimes I am just astounded by how Dr Ramani knows everything that we have gone through with these narcissists. Thank goodness she does And thank you Dr Ramani for everything ❤️
Take aaalllll the energy you poured into trying to please and heal the narc, and re-focus it on yourself. You are love and light. Break your own heart to save your soul. Pay attention to your soul!!! It is all you have, and it is everything you need.
If I didn't need social media for business, I wouldn't use it. As for my narcissistic ex, I blocked her in every way. To this day, nine months later, I have no idea what she's doing. I have disciplined myself to not look. And I never will.
Same. It’s just less painful this way.
Social media today is just so unbearable for the thought that the narcissist u loved is fooling around using this platform via messenger or instagram etc…sometimes I wished I’m like Mel Gibson who can read what women think and have the professor X super hero hacking skills that I can access anyone social media account …but revenge is never good cuz I know better as a Christian
Ignore social media. Excellent advice!
My father, the narcissist abruptly divorced my mother after 43 unhappy, cheating and scandalous years. 2 months later I woke up one morning and my father had remarried my mothers past, best friend and moved 2,000 miles away. He never got in touch with me until years later. I can’t tell you what that did to me. I was only 20, and felt rejected and abandoned by him. He just didn’t care. My mother went into a deep depression so it felt like I had lost both of my parent’s. Years later when I was in my 40’s, I went to his deathbed in hospice and he couldn’t even look at me. His abrupt decision to leave, ruined my life. At 66, I’m just starting to get it together after all the years of devaluing and shaming me. The message I heard loud and clear for all those years is what a failure I was. These narcissists leave a very permanent mark on our lives.
Well what you summed up for me is you by buying into his perspective or what you thought his perspective was of you. you create your own reality you didn’t have to believe him you didn’t have to buy into it he left your life at 20 you kept him alive he did you a favor by leaving reprogram your brain to understand this and you will have joy abundance beyond. Stop playing the victim card your daddy is not responsible for your choices🤮🤯😜 nor for your daily life especially after 20 years old assume responsibility ❤stand up straight put a smile on your face be grateful go get outside and play -you child.Oh you poor poor thing not❤😮💎
@@menotyou6254😡
It stings losing a parent or not having one available as a child. I feel it with you
I think it was your dad who was the loser, not you.
The accuracy of this is astounding. Thank you 🙏🏻
27 years came out of nowhere. He said you deserve someone better than me. I guess his new supply doesn’t deserve better than him!!! All of this just sucks and hurts like hell. I am dealing with how can someone who says they love you just toss you out like trash and not care??? You never existed, try to wipe you out of their mind. Post cruel, disrespectful, humiliating things on social media. Then everyone telling him how happy they are for this new love. The world is filled with cruel people.
Love ‘em, like ‘em but don’t ask anything of ‘em. The narcissist can’t handle emotional attachments and doesn’t do well with accountability or responsibility.
Truth!!!
Does not envy or boast
Is not arrogant or rude
Does not insist on its own way
Is not irritable or resentful
Does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth
Bears all things
Believes all things
Hopes all things
Endures all things
Never ends
Keeps no record of wrongs
Always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres
Love is actions, actions done in the face of the unknown.
IF ONLY PPL USED THIS AS A GUIDE
@@paulatriplepbecause they pretend to love you in the first months of the relationship.
The breakup comes out of the blue. I've had enough NARCISSIST in my life i can spot them pretty much right from the start. I let things play out to be sure im dealing with a NARCISSIST, so when the devaluation and discard comes im not cought off guard.
This video is excellent. Only if you have been through it, can you relate to your video. I was discarded out of the blue after 24 years. I’m free from her 5 years now and living my best life. I can go on and on about how informative this video is. Everyone needs to listen to this video. I now know what I didn’t know!!! THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO
I want to thank you for everything you're doing for your listeners, your clients, and what you have done for me personally. My life is abundantly healthier because of your TH-cam channel and I'm deeply grateful. I hope you know on some level that you are also helping people understand the behaviors of demigods and dangerous people in positions of power and leadership all over the world. Pam Hemphill has been speaking out about how she BROKE UP with the extremists who almost lead to her death. She refers directly to the narcissism, love bombing, and gas lighting used to brainwash her. I know you don't get political and I respect you for it. So, I just want you to know that you are making a difference on many levels. Thank you.

This is off subject as pertaining to this video; I saw earlier vlogs of yours today, I had the misfortune of working for/with an extreme narcissist for years. Before that I worked with abused/neglected adolescents in a group home. I found it wonderful, and rewarding, but experienced extreme burn out, rational detachment was not my strong suit. What is your secret to staying so seemingly grounded, while dealing constantly with such negative behavior.
Thank you for the timestamps. ✍
Very well decoded the puzzle especially on "why do we miss the Narcissist".
I know there is no way he ever loved me,so im just concentrating now on loving myself now
we were toxic for years, and while I saw it coming, it's still complicated. nonstop conflict. in all honesty, I tuned out, I quit expecting love, caring, affection, soon after we married.
Definitely didn’t see it coming. Fucking wrecked me.
Same for me .
Out of nowhere, Never saw that coming!
It has been a long drawn out break up. I ended it last month, he has been trying to work it out but not see me in person. He abused me physically, psychologically, and emotionally. It has always been my fault. I was triangulated with his ex baby mama. He went back and forth between us and I don’t trust him at all. He thinks I’m overreacting by leaving. He will say he’s coming to see me and not come and then text me asking why I didn’t get mad he didn’t come. This has been all a game. When I bring up the abuse he said the abuse was meant to show me how much he wanted me to stay with him and how much he loves me since it only happened when I tried to to leave him. I’ve been no contact for a week. I am so desperate to heal. This is not love. I deserve better. I am more than a supply 💔
Omfg. My heart physically hurts. Thank you for sharing your pain.
My EX fiancé definitely was a narcissist! We were so I thought happy together (10 years) and just 1 day he walked out on me and our family. He blocked me from everything before he disappeared! Never gave me a reason to why he ended our engagement/relationship. He is a COWARD! For 10 years on/off he was a narcissist and I always felt it was my fault because he made me feel that way. I’m glad he is gone because I deserve better.
Yes, you do!!!!! 👏🏽 At least y’all didn’t get married, so that’s good. But that is a long time. I’m sorry. Totally NOT your fault. You’ll find your person when you least expect it! 😊
No relationship no risk, happiness all the time.
In the span of a few hours I experienced love being expressed, talk of buying a home together, and then getting broken up with for bringing up a concern. He didn't see how insane that was.
It happened every time I brought up a concern, boom broken up with- this went on for a longgg time. In turn, this ultimately "trained" me to really pick and choose what I spoke up about and I would still go into every discussion with the fear of being broken up with and just about every time it still did happen so I would mention the fact that i couldn't bring up anything without him breaking up with me or immediately turning it around on me. At some point I told him if it happens again I'm walking away and it did which I foolishly forgave and went back into it but made it clear that would not happen again. And it didn't. Things got to a point where I left and have not gone back because I have not seen any thread of improvement in the biggest issue. It is what it is and I have been enjoying my time alone.
These videos are like looking back over my life for the last 24 years. My ex wife a classic altruistic narcissist whom I could never ‘reach’. It all makes sense and I’m dealing with a lot of devastated emotions, particularly for our son. Thank you for these wonderful resources. I wouldn’t be here to tell the tale without your wisdom.
This was intense this morning, spot on. Scary how you "know" my Ex to a T. He lost his way in a way I never thought possible. I feel like my children and I have paid a huge price for his bad behavior. He went and got an "Escort," well really his yoga teacher. He took her all over the world. Photo's all over online. He never took his children anywhere. They no longer have a relationship with their father. It's unbelievable to me still? He walked away from his beloved children? How? Why? This is not who I married?
After realizing that I was with a covert narcissist then I started going back to review everything that had happend in the past year & few months of being in it & knew how to interpret the behavior for what it actually was & meant as opposed to how I was seeing it based on me being kind & understanding because of all the lies I was being fed!
I finally ended the relationship wondered how he seemed not affected & didn't even try at all. Everything makes so much sense now that I am listening to this.
Thank you.
Yep.. me too! I recently ended it around Christmas and figured it all out.. I was beside myself but yes, looking back it all makes such sense! I just wished I hadn’t ignored all those red flags…
I LOVE the format of the video, Dr. It feels like someone that cares for me is trying to talk sense in to me at the family bbq because it may be the only chance they get me alone for a minute lol
Dr. Ramani, may all the goodness and peace you’ve brought to others find you and fill your cup forever. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Dr. Ramani watching your video after the abrupt breakup I had with my soon to be Ex-Husband just validates everything I've been feeling. I stepped into the pain and it was absolutely devastating for 6 months, but now I feel so blessed that he is out of my life for good! You don't see how toxic these people are until they have exited your life
Thank you Dr Ramani 🙏🏻 You truly have given me SUCH peace and clarity with what I’m going through. This is all very fresh and RAW for me right now. Our on and off again relationship has damn near left me for dead. I was with my narc for almost 6 years. I thought this was “my person”. He was everything I’d ever hoped and dreamed of. I have some of the most amazing memories with him. On the other hand, he was a complete monster, cruel, and evil towards me. I gave up and lost everything trying to make him happy. It was never good enough.
No one understands this PAIN….it hurts SO bad. It’s devastating.
It’s VERY hard to be alone and NOT miss him. I have severe anxiety and can barely function without him some days. These evil people literally rewire your brain, cause complete destruction with others lives, and when you can’t give them anymore, they dispose of you like yesterday’s trash. This pain….. almost too much to bare.
Your videos give me peace and help me understand a little bit of the complete chaos they cause. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy. My Heavenly Father is the ONLY thing that’s gonna pull me through this. May He bless you for the work you do to help those of us crying for someone to understand and help us heal ❤️
Oh it was sudden and via text. It was humiliating and devastating after nearly 7 years. We lived together, I have 2 kids. He was domineering and controlling but I was deeply in love with him. 7 months have passed and I'm healing more and more everyday. Thank you for these videos.🙏
I never saw it coming, I even asked how he could go from 1 to 0 in no time. It just never made sense, and it was all because I was resisting providing unconditional narcissistic supply. He picked on something I said and ended it over that, just a line.
I think i was a truth teller growing up, and it was very difficult to realize that after marrying and divorcing a narcissist, that my truth teller perspective was incomplete. Regardless of being a narcissist, she had some valid points that helped me become a better person after I won the space to change, away from her.
I am so glad about videos like this and seeing, that I am not alone and it was not me.
On the morning of my birthday she made me a lovely birthday table with sweet presents and wrote a card with "I love you" and blablabla. In the evening she was mad at me (for really unfair reasons) and during this fight she said: We're no couple anymore. On my birthday. A few hours before we cuddled and kissed and all was good.
Then she disappeared like a ghost and I am devastated.
Again, thanks for Videos like this 💙
I wish every empathic human being, who was in a relationship like this a lot of healing and happyness.
The only respect you deserve at this point is. Is your own. ! If you don’t walk after that bs, then you are setting yourself up again. ! Walk and don’t look back !!!
@@Nyumc99 thank you very much, your response means a lot to me right now!
Thanks for this compilation, Dr. Ramani. There's a wonderful serendipity for me with your videos - from the first time I watched, it has been exactly what I needed to hear
This video is the very best info that everyone should see who was left behind by a narcissist! It happened to me 2 weeks ago having spent 5 years in a narcissistic relationship and watching this video ticking all the boxes helps a whole lot with digesting reality. Thank you!
Never saw it coming !!!
The relationship and commitment was actually never there. You only considered a another supple ….
I was abused for so many years that I am so glad to be free
Omfg your narrative in the first 12 seconds was so spot on it subconsciously felt like a mocking personal attack to me 😂😂😅
It's absolutely insane how we all have such the same cookie cutter experiences with these types of "people" in our lives
The clarity that I get from your videos is just *chef's kiss*
I was married for 23 years. When we were dating if she didn’t like something I was doing or saying, she would threaten she was going to break up with me. When we were engaged, if she wanted to change my point of view or anything I was doing it was, I’m not going to marry you. After marrying she would threaten to divorce to keep me in line. She would threaten divorce on an average of 3 to 6 months. every time she would threaten to leave me I would hurt inside so much I didn’t wanna live anymore I would do whatever she wanted and say whatever she needed to hear. She would also abandon me by stranding me wherever we were (e.g. Grocery stores, malls, and in our last couples therapy session she didn’t like what I was saying to the therapist, so she got up and took the car. I walked for about 2 miles until I finally was able to hitchhike the rest of the 20 miles. I had an accident in which I tore up everything in both knees and couldn’t walk. I had to stay in a nursing home because she wouldn’t take care of me (she was mad because I had been procrastinating on fixing some things around the house and now my injury was going to put that off for a long time and that I hadn’t gotten it done before I got in the injury, knowing how klutzy I am). She called me while I was in there to tell me how hard my injuries made her life and that her therapist said it was a good time to tell me she wanted a divorce. When the insurance ran out I came home and she put me in the basement even though the doctors told her to put me on the first floor because I shouldn’t walk stairs. She would not answer the door for my therapist, even if she was in the living room but instead I’d have to hobble upstairs to let them in after they announced themselves on the intercom. She would only visit me in the basement to explain to me how hard it was for her. I got a lawyer to file a divorce, she found out and asked me not to file for a divorce so we could file amicably together. Then she filed for the divorce on her own. She got a restraining order against me stating I was dangerous and had concealed carry permit and lots of guns. I don’t have either any guns or any permit (she did this without a lawyer and her her lawyer made her withdrawal the request). She’s gone through a list of therapist until she found the therapist that told her what she wanted, which is everything is my fault. Like when she would literally follow me around for two hours, yelling at me and then I’d yell back and she tell me I was unstable and I need anger management. I believed I was a crappy person, and I was lucky to have her in my life. We have four daughters and are still going through the divorce. Now I have happiness and sadness. happiness that I’m out of the relationship, my four daughters and in the life I’m starting to live now. Sadness for all the years I wasted, hating myself. I just wish I could afford therapy.
You are here for a reason!
There are lots of resources on the internet to help you heal. The important part is to really do and believe what these good sources say. Best of luck in your healing.
I researched things that were happening to me and this word Narcissist kept coming up , I read, I watched your videos for a year. I could not understand but I could not unsee it either. The whole time it was all my fault, according to him . I sat boundaries, I knew where it would lead and it did. I’ve been out 3 weeks and I can’t understand how someone can be this mean.
Love is not feeling. It is how you act. It is what you do and do not.
Mine blindsided me and after 9 years he left, he overnight moved directly back into his ex wifes house claiming they hadn’t discussed it but he was doing it for his 15 yr old son. But he’s been contacting me every day trying to see me. Typical discard and hoover.
It’s so painful.
I've had both, but the break up that I didn't see coming affected me 100x deeper
Me to
lol. ended 2 years ago and she got into a new relationship a few weeks later. fast forward to now and we recently met up after she randomly unblocked my number to reach out.
it’s exactly as you said Dr. Ramani, they don’t change. i never even thought of her as a narcissistic person before because i was oblivious to it. but watching the few videos that i have from your channel has made it very clear the type of personality she has.
My husband took his life 40 days ago..That was pretty sudden. I had no idea. Left me a note that said "You won Congratulations".. I cant get over it..Gutted me..I need to go on.
So sorry. Praying for strength and peace to you
I'm so sorry,I will pray for peace for you
Oh wow. Manipulation to the end. Painful. But you are free. Hope you are ok
I’m so sorry that happened to you, but it’s not your fault! I hope you will find some comfort after some time has passed. That was an unkind note to leave. 😢
Life really is that hard to bear.
Feel you so hard on the complex emotions and questions you must have
You hit that nail right on the head! Thank you so much.
It was a week before Xmas, and we went out into the woods and he chopped down a tree. We came home and I decorated it, and our baby was fascinated by the twinkling lights on the tree. It was our first perfect Xmas together as a family of three. My heart was overflowing with love. He came home from work the next day and said he wanted to end the relationship. I was in shock and said 'No'. He went into an unexpected bout of rage and threw all the Xmas presents outside onto the front lawn, he smashed a hole in the wall and threw over the furniture. I huddled in the nursery with my baby as he burst in and out of the room screaming at me. The next day when he went to work, I packed up and took my baby to my parents place for Xmas. Over the next week my girl friends began ringing me because he had rung them telling them he was concerned for the baby because I had smashed the house up and then left him. It took until my child was nearly three until we had out final break up. That was thirty years ago, and I have avoided relationships ever since.
Be strong enough to be honest and kind
Before I left on a 10 day trip my marriage was in a great place. I came back and my husband didnt like me anymore. Just like that. Two months of devaluing and blaming then BOOM, discard. After 11 years and two kids. I am still in disbelief. He changed overnight.
Omg Dr Ramani You SAVED ME FROM ME!
I had the worst narcissistic seven year relationship you could ever imagine and I never thought it was going to end. It was the worst seven years of my life and I couldn’t get away until now thank God it’s over.
This compilation is so healing. Thank you! 🙏🏼 ❤
My ex dumped me and then kept inviting me to do things together - a concert, lunch at my favorite place, a hiking spot I'd wanted to try, she had dinner ready for me every night when I got home, etc. Then she told everyone that I was pathetic and wouldn't move on. Her new supply lived 3 hours away and she couldn't tolerate doing anything alone. Once I caught on I stopped talking to her altogether and she turned into a petulant child and started spreading even more lies about me. She married her supply and I wish them all the happiness they deserve 🙃
You just healed me through this video. I was discarded 3 months back and was gaslighting myself that i was wrong. Your words healed me and opened the eyes! One confusion i have in my mind is that i was suffering more from a narcissistic mother in law than my husband. I was so blindly loving him that i started to realise his mistakes since this 3 months only. He did all those gaslighting,triangulation, cheating, grandiosity, devaluation everything with the support of his mom. But he was a very nice person when he was with me. I couldn't differentiate whether he is a narcissist or not.
Mine did not want to break up. We have been going through a nasty divorce for 14 months and he is still asking me to go back to him, to give this marriage another chance. I don’t trust him. He still denies he punched me last time he physically hurt me so I think he just wants me back to feel that I am going to believe I am wrong and he never punched me, like he keeps saying so there is a reason for him to want me back but I doubt is love. Love would have not put me to Physical Theraphy…and all this trauma 😢…
Please stay strong and continue working to get out of this toxic situation. Mental and physical abuse are extremely damaging- you do not deserve to be treated like that. I really do understand that divorce/leaving will be one of the hardest things you will ever have to face in your life, but imagine the other option- staying. If you choose to remain in this relationship, you will just be setting yourself up for a life of abuse and more heartbreak. Hold your head high and move forward. You deserve a happy life. Hugs.
I am sorry for your suffering . You are deserving of real love .
Just broke up 3 weeks ago. He used to call me bipolar when I was gray rocking (he said I was cold, he doesn't even know what bipolar means lol). Now his friends are calling me crazy. At least my reflexes have improved from dodging all the flying monkeys lol
I’m sorry this is happening to you. Usually all their friends and family are the ones reassuring me in the end that he is crazy and none of the issues had anything to do with me 😂 happened twice so far (hopefully for the last time!)
My ex husband did the stalking, scary Bs while simultaneously seeing someone else and soon after meeting a girl and having another child he wouldn’t raise. A covert narc I met who was becoming a therapist of all things did the disappearing act where almost over night he went from deeply connected and warm to talking to me in a cold, clinical voice. Really confusing, painful and taught me a few things about these kinds of people and I am relieved I have gotten away from both. My mom is still with my dad and they’re practically the same now. I know what real love is and I’m happy to be alone without the fake version for now. Thanks Dr Ramani. Shallow seeds is a good way to put it.
Amazing how narcisists can just cut people out of their lives. To me they are forever lonely and insecure people. My partner «left me» in December, just before xmas after two years together. After a phonecall he blocked me and has never called or contacted me. He hasnt even BROKEN up with me😱😱😱we had a long distance relationship and when I said that I had to be with my kids for xmas he was upset. He was rude and started talking about how he had thrown everything that I ever gave to him, including a ring that I inherited from my mother when she dies. I guess thats his revenge? Now a month later i have no idea if he ever thinks of me, if he feels ashamed or has someone else to get supply from. I feel sad for his next victim!! He should walk around with a warning!!
2:55 his love bombing never utilized the word love. But he'd shower me with affection and gifts and fun times out. When it came to admitting to any type of emotion all he could say was I care about you a lot. Then he wanted to take things slow and at the same time wanted me to move it. None of it ever made sense, but thanks to these videos, it sure the hell does now!
Outta Nowhere!!! Classic narcissist movements. Smh
I'm watching this video and I'm shocked by how many things I relate to. The abrupt cut off of the relationship four months before our wedding date, the "We're going in different directions", the "This is for the best", both things I heard, the grandiose fantasy of destiny and of an ideal love story. They actually said to me they used to see our relationship in their mind like a romance film. They were also a spiritual person and when they dumped ke they said: "The universe doesn't want us to be together" or "Everything points to us needing to break up". They also had the habit of throwing "I love you" in all directions. They literally said I love you to employees, it didn't mean anything.
Fell apart the moment I refused to continue doing the heavy lifting and emotional labor
I can't thank you enough for making these videos. I was in such a relationship with an ex coach. What actually saved me in this instance was him finding new supply in another country, with another ex client of his. The insights you provided about how each in this dynamic behaves has been crucial in my own awakening. I am now committed to breaking this pattern of mine, I am doing it in my own pace as I find trust again whilst strengthening my discerning abilities. I am grateful for this invitation to come home to myself.
I wish they will “leave me “. It’s always a struggle for me to get them out of my life ! One narcissistic female “ friend “ always told me “ You know how to give good loving “
Now I know what she meant; She meant that I am great supply. That’s not a good thing. Currently working on creating distance and holding on to my boundaries. May a higher power continue to give me the strength to stand up for myself !
I have dealt with more narcissistic people that I’d like to share , none have more more difficult than this female “friend “
Although I will not curse myself with these words- there is always a window of hope . I claim my freedom of spirit and sovereignty. I need no one else’s permission to choose what’s best for my SELF.
Love is the act of taking someone as a part of yourself.
He crossed the line sexually with me and I withdrew a little bit to get help. Couples therapy was disastrous and ended up with hm using the R word multiple times, fight with the therapist and the therapist reaching out to me privately because I was unsafe.
he started verbally harassing me every time we were alone. Which made me shut down more. During the days it was businsss as usual. We played with the kids, at dinner together… he would do things I always asked him to do that he refused. then night came and he would ask to talk calmly. I would tell him I would listen and then he would be begin spinning a alternate reality. When I wouldn’t apologize for things I didn’t say he would get to to a rage. I was afraid of him and his behavior.
The cliff notes are I found a letter. I think it was on purpose. From his gf at the time. It was fate. They were soulmates. He deserves so much better than me. “Congratulations on your divorce”
We weren’t divorced and our oldest was going into surgery - for the second time.
The first time a couple years back. I was so scared. He held my hand and comforted me. Now I was alone. Trying to understand why I couldn’t have just been ok with how he treated my body like I wasn’t a person. I couldn’t I just let that go. He has needs, I’m broken. I repeated all of the things he said to me or made me feel.
I found her social media and read their love story through her eyes. I remember feeling the same way about him and it hurt worse than I could ever imagine. Then, I found the sex tape. I shouldn’t have watched it…but I don’t think I wouldn’t have allowed myself to believe any of it if I didn’t see it with my own eyes. She tried to photoshop identifiable things about him. We were together 14 years - I knew every inch of him.
I never told him that I knew or let on. We had dinners together. Played with the kids and he would tell me he had to go out of town. Give me his schedule like he always would… leave our children crying and confused. For the first time I saw the kind of man I had married.
He lied with too much ease for this to be the first time.
I think the supply found out that he wasn’t divorced or was lying about another woman. ( she tweeted about it). He came home and took it out on me and the kids.
He calls me his abuser. He told people I stole from him. He degraded me to my face told me I was useless and didn’t deserve my child or my dog. He told me I was broken sexually and that “he was sexual person” he told me the only time things were “hot” was after he had so deeply psychologically abused me I tried to degrade myself to keep him.
My crime was listening to my body. How unsafe I felt with him while vulnerable. I put up boundaries to shield me from his threats of self harm, guilt and using my secrets as weapons. He pitied me, he said while making me beg him. Giving me the prompts “what will you miss about me” giving me lists of things I needed to do to stay “clean the house” lol
He is correct. I would be just fine. I would never look back. It’s hard getting back on my feet but I’ve learned so much about myself and the depths of human nature. I am just fine. You will be too.
Hang in there mama, and thank you for sharing! I'm in 33 years, two teenagers with my narc. Complete discard 4 years ago when I was at my most vulnerable ever, having lost both parents to cancer, mom's sister to Covid, and two close family friends. It's absolutely crushing, on top of my grief I was trying to figure out what did I do to deserve that? How can someone throw away 30 years of life, just like that? He is not the man I married. I've been in a psychiatric hospital for a month, staying at a residential place now. Trying not to worry about the future, but now I finally KNOW I have to end it. He's to much of a coward to even bring it up. He want to drive me insane and then blame me for " breaking up the family". Fine. I do t care anymore. This is not a way to live. I'm getting stronger, and I'll be ready! Thank you, and to you too Dr. Ramani! ❤
Hugs! You deserve so much good and healthy love!
@@HanaPazdirkova thank you, Hana. I am so sorry for your losses and all of the challenges you’ve faced. You are stronger than you know. If anything positive can come from these horrible circumstances is that we can find community and uplift each other. Rooting for you ❤️
@@ckl5801 🙏 thank you for your kind words. Every once and a while Dr. Ramani post a topic that hits really close to home. When these relationships end, it’s unlikely anything you can imagine. I thought I would lose my mind so hoping anyone reading going through something similar knows that they aren’t alone and can make it on the other side -even if that is hard to see. Two years and I still take it day by day but life is so much better now.
I left my narc husband after 35 years this past Jan. This was a long time coming. Our relationship had been dying for a very long time. I never knew what I or my 5 children were dealing with until a friend of mine started bringing some things to my attention. The scales fell off my eyes and I saw him and our relationship for what they were. So I left him this past Jan and have never gone back. I divorced him in April. I emotionally disconnected from him long ago so leaving him was difficult and relieving at the same time. He even said to our youngest son he didn't think I would actually leave. He didn't want a divorce. When my eyes were finally opened, I knew I needed to get out. He has been doing everything possible to get me back before, during and after our divorce. Right now, he doesn't want to leave me alone, but I have not engaged with engaged with him since our divorce was finalized. I have never felt more free and calm, relaxed and at ease in all my life. My kids have been 100% supportive of me leaving. our lives are so much better with him not in it. All of my children have asked if their dad loved them because they never really felt it from him. 😢
I got the rug pulled out from under me. Never saw anything wrong
This hits so hard. I see so much resonance with my last relationship. The emotional abuse was so subtle, too. Asking me if I was angry while focusing on a puzzle or some tech problem I wanted to solve or if I was focused on the road while driving at night. I think it was her just setting it up to eventually get around to her asking me why I was always so angry. And I did become angry, too, I had a few explosive moments at the end of the relationship when she'd disregard me or act impulsively with something that involved me. The gaslighting. The Blame-shifting. Finding out she lied about my ex before her (she said the previous ex tried to sleep with a friend of mine and that that friend of mine told her... Asked that friend months out of the break up with her and it turns out that never happened with the previous ex). The devaluing (I finally got around to making a nice shelf for my computer and her response when she first saw it, outside the pictures I sent her as I was making it, she said, "I thought it would look terrible, but it turned out really nice."). The discard and the ease with which she moved on... This video helps me see it... at least logically, because there were many times I found myself saying, "yep," or, "I experienced that." But still... Almost 10 months out and I still struggle, and I know healing is not a set timeline, but some days are so rough.
It's been 2 months since the breakup with the narcissist, and I still miss him and think about him the whole time.
It is very hard and heartbreaking.
I would appreciate if you would make a video on how to heal from this relationship, especially when you feel like you completely lost your self.
Thank you so much for your videos, it really helped me during hard times 🙏
I'm so sorry you're going through that. I'm on 2 months too... the missing them feels so odd because I didn't think I'd care after all the hurtful things were said and done,
but the heartache is real.
I'm also waiting for that video. 🙏
@@RY-lx9lz it is hard I know exactly how you feel.
But give yourself time to heal, do not put the deadline to your grief. Have compassion towards yourself and connect with your emotions, if you feel like crying, cry. Just give your emotions room to heal.
These kind of relationships are dangerous if you lose yourself.
What helped me is the acknowledgement that it takes two to tango, find out what you did wrong, do not blame them. We are all responsible for our behaviors, and we cannot influence what others do. It's their thing. Situations are just events, it's the meaning that we give to this event that causes the grief. Think about which meaning you gave to this situation? Did you put all your value as a person in their hands? Did you give them the power to control your emotions?
There is a strenght inside of you, that waits for you to find it trust me.
Change a meaning you gave to the betrayal, block them on social media, remove yourself completely from the situation, give yourself compassion and also have compassion to them, but make a decision that you will never go back to toxic relationship again 💕
Hope that your heart will heal soon, and that you will understand that we only live once, and we all deserve to be happy and loved.
Love yourself and enjoy the life given to you🫶💕
Same here. It’s hard because you don’t know what was real. It’s all disorienting which makes it harder to heal.
@@breana8427that describes exactly how I feel
Same boat as you are. Even down to how long it’s been since our break up
Dr. Ramini is 100% correct.Thanks for exposing and educating about narcissistic people.
Omg! I just realized my ex was a narcissist💡🥴
You’ve helped me tremendously in understanding the pathway to happiness with your analogy of stringing pearls 🎉
I was so ready to flip this switch from wallowing in sadness to happiness by focusing on my joy by being in the moment. Just wanted you to know how much your other video meant in my ability to refocus on me & change my perspective. I’m so grateful and much happier now 😊
