    He said "you've changed" and I said "Yes, I have! I'm done being a doormat!" And he said "You're crazy! I don't even know what you're talking about!" 😄 I divorced him 7 years ago and am so loving the peace and quiet of my calm home. No more hole punched walls and broken window panes.

      @Coffee Cay Cay I had to push to do everything myself bc it was an autoimmune reaction to a 23yo corrective medical prosthetic. It's hard enough getting doctors to listen to you, and even harder when your partner is not helping and sabotaging any progress. Just keep pushing forward and remember your goal of getting better to remove the narcissist from your life. All doctors said the stress he was causing was a huge reason my body was shutting down, and honestly it's true. By constantly being stressed out, in fear, depressed and everything else a narcissist brings into our lives, it's only a matter of time that the mind and body can no longer handle it like a constant marathon that never ends or gives you a break. No matter what they say or do, keep your focus on improving your health - eat well, take short walks when you can, lay out in the fresh air for at least 30 minutes a day, watch comedies to allow you to escape the stress momentarily and laugh, and definitely connect with groups on FB as support since most people in your life have been jaded by the narcissist and will only inhibit your progress and won't understand until you come out on the other side and they see the difference when the narcissist is out of your life.

      ...he tried to convince our ex flatmate I was the narcissist, doing all this verbal abuse and "control tactics" and gaslighting. Our ex flatmate with who i sometimes exchange youtube links on topic, coz he had the same with the mother of his daughter. Ex flatmate just said: "What do you want, she's gone now and you have all the freedom you wanted!?" Since then there was no communication between them anymore whatsoever... Probably my ex decided he's got another "enemy" now...

    Today he blocked my car in a parking spot. I could see it was for control since I blocked him. He probably wanted me to come talk to him to move his car, and he would make me wait as long as he wanted so I couldn’t leave. Luckily, I was able to move my car out of the spot without talking to him 😂

    The hopeless feeling of the turn tables conversation. You try to sincerely tell him how his behaviour makes you feel. You are not trying to make him feel bad...you just want to be heard and to see some changes....but instead you hear your words come back at you and he has "adopted" your feelings and has weaponized them against you in a false accusation. Stale mate. Those are the moments that I have cried in utter hopelessness...and he was stone cold. Irritated by my tears.

      Exactly. I have read that their tactics (even though they say they are a believer) is akin to "Christian Witchcraft". Because it involves manipulation, control, lies, deception, masks (their phoney persona that changes at the drop of a hat). Their words & behavior also wound - " kill steal & destroy". Gee who in the Bible does that? They do not exhibit TRUE fruit of the Spirit. They kill your self worth & value, they steal your life from you & play mind games w you, they ultimately destroy you if you stay long enough.

    Having dealt with a narcissistic wife whose condition of narcissism only increased I deeply respect you Ben for making the decision to change for the better. 👌🏻🥇
    I moved heaven and hell to help my marriage move into a positive light but my wife was not cooperating an inch. Words cannot describe how big my dissapointments are after I came to realise that my wife was never going to change. A narcissist to me is like the Farao in the story of Moses. Tjere are so many similairities. The Farao was given chance after chance to surrender himself and change his ways. But because of his arrogance he kept refusing and denying and used his power to cause more damage. In the end he got destroyed. If the narc will not choose to change they will end like the Farao.
    Again therefore so much respect for you, Ben. There are so many partners who wished to have a narc partner who is willing to make that change for themselves and as a result of that for their loved ones. 🙏

The narcissist was totally disrespectful, cruel, vicious etc. I gave him the opportunity to modify his behavior. He did at first very briefly. When he went back to devaluing me and ruined my birthday, I was done. I went no contact. Best decision ever. He will never change.

And of course ignored me the next day on my actual birthday. He’s a scum bag and disgusting. They all are.

    @your.beautiful.mind.now. ปีที่แล้ว +7

    This one is hard. I'm typically the first to become physical, usually out of being extremely frustrated with him physically blocking me from being able to leave, following me after I force him out of my way and listening to him antagonize me as he's following me, or balling up his fists at me, sometimes verbally stating that he wants to hit me. At times, I feel like he wants to get away with hitting me by pushing me to the extent that I become physically violent, only to call me crazy afterward, and label me as abusive. I have been taking steps to gain control of myself and be mindful of when he is trying to illicit a negative response from me. Sometimes, I pray and ask God right in the midst of the problem to be there with me and help me remain calm. Other times when I feel out of control, I will go lock myself in my closet. None of his behavior warrants me to become violent. I've also been practicing grey-rock techniques when I know I'm being baited into a fight. So far, prayer has been the most effective. I'm not normally a violent person, but when he started complaining that I'm more mouthy, that I'm not as nice, and I am quick to cut him off early in his attempts to pick a fight, I told him I have to treat him like a bear. In order to hold my boundaries, I have to be bigger than him. I hate who I've become behind being with him.

    My narc actually sat at the table & played out both sides of a “difficult” conversation with me. I said, “That didn’t sound too difficult.” And he said, “I know, I was the only one talking.” To which I said, “Exactly” and “Guess you don’t need me!” and I walked away. 🤣🤣🤣 Sadly he doesn’t get it & never will 🤷‍♀️ At least I know how to stand up for myself 🥰👍

I went to court as they ran off to another city with my grandaughter. the judge made them read their lies into the record and gave me a restraining order that stated they have to be supervised to be around my grandchild. Now they have made up new crap, set daughter up and slinked in and took her youngest. Im so tried of the crap

    You are absolutely correct. It took 25 years but eventually the physical abuse kicked in when words and manipulation didnt work.
    This created shame on my part because i thought it was a boundary i would stick to. And i didnt. We are still married. And he has physically abused me about 5 times . There would be more but ive "learned" to anticipate and take steps to remove myself .

    I just got out of another narcissitic relationship. Day 11 of No Contact/Blocked. He was very controlling and angry all the time. When I didnt do what he wanted I got rage. I felt like i was losing my mind everyday. At the beginning of the relationship I tried to set boundaries with him. They would push right through them like nothing. I left because his abuse had started to affecting my health. After several conversations about his behavior it never changed. I chose me and walked away I deserve more! Thank you for sharing ❤.

    This is so spot on. These videos are helping me release the confusion and doubt and maddening frustration. Especially when I think about how impatient and angry I had become toward the end and starting to self-blame. But only because I am temporarily forgetting the insane difficulties he was putting me through that led me to finally lose my patience and then lash out. And even then my lashing out was not yelling or anything, it was telling him via text that I was done with his lying, gaslighting, endless excuses, illogical decision making to put it mildly.
    I wasn't the breadwinner, but I am better educated because he drank through his school years. I don't use big words in my view, but for him I said things he never heard of. I never held it over his head in anyway because I didn't care. I only cared about having a good relationship, how he treated me, the fun we had (or didn't have) together. I only cared about who he was today, integrity, etc. He used anything to make me the bad guy, but I pushed back even as I had concerns that maybe I was the bad guy too. Because I was looking at my behavior where the narcissist isn't. It's over now, but still very recent and I'm in the process of coming to a sane place after the tornado. Sadly, I never met anyone who gave me as much affection as he did when things were good. But no one ever treated me badly like he did either.

She didn't take the opportunity to change her behavior. But she did excel her career in which I am proud of her. In the end, she will realize that I was her true prize that she did not appreciate and ungrateful. No return.

    Amazing video Ben! This was so eye opening. I was always kind and sweet to me him but when ever attempting to asert a small boundary and I was completely attacked and made to be broken. I never had anyone do this to me in life. It's like he learned me just to completely break me down. Tell me I did things I never did and I would some how believe it! I would have to go back and look at texts from months prior to see that I actually never said any of that and I learned early on to document everything because my reality would be altered with the manipulation so frequently. How I've hurt him so badly when I never even said these things and constantly guilt trip me. Told me what a monster I was when I have never treated anyone that way. I felt like I was in a drama circus constantly. Like my mind was being messed with always. I fully believe now looking back this was a Covert Narcissist which I didn't even know about until I went to therapy and was treated for Narcissistic abuse. When I try to explain it to others, no one seems to understand....But therapy has helped me greatly. 6 months in now.

    And i know that typically you cant fix them but the reason they are like they are is because of a underdeveloped neural bridge for automatic control of seratonin and dopamine.
