    Always talk to, and believe, a previous woman.

      I would suggest that "always" doesn't work. Sometimes the previous woman isn't the victim.

    At the end of the day , he wants you to allow him to be as flirtatious as he wants as long as he comes home with you! He believes he's the prize!! In actuality you are his covering! If you stay too long in these relationship s , you become cold to people in general !

    My husband has never love bombed me but he used to say things like we will watch movies and buy me anything.
    He always wanted to do things that he wanted to do. He never courted me because he’s a miser. I think he only forced me.he did not except my thoughts and feelings . He used to gaslight make me believe everything is fine.

    lol... I got nothing of that... I was so starved for attention... I settled for breadcrumbs.... I was so open to love.... he jumped in with nothing to offer me...but love... and then took that away too....he started his abuse in the first month.... I settled for breadcrumbs and abuse for the rest of the 3 years.

    Your videos are very helpful, thank you. I need advise, I live with covert, toxic horse-racing gambler who suffers from alcohol abuse (triple treat!). He has been bankrupt twice. Luckily I have kept my own home in my own name, but he won’t move out, just threatens to and ‘jokingly’ asks if I’ve made a will. I have had some very frightening moments with him during our 20 years together. I used to be personable, kind hearted and generous, but now I am emotionless and I don’t know myself anymore.

  • @marieo6598
    @marieo6598 6 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    Been out of my relationship with my abuser for almost a year. He used the church and marriage to lure me in. Claimed to be a Godly man, yet constantly blamed his exes for everything that happened in his life. After hearing these excuses for 5 1/2 years I finally said, enough - move on, get over it. Our relationship took a turn at that time since he was caught in a lie about going out with his ex girlfriend and flipped his cheating on me. Caught red handed, and still denied it.

  • @lucibloom5966

    OH yeah! One guy I dated for only 2 weeks (and kicked him out because he was just that insane in the membrane) bought me a tiny little badge of a rabbit. (He thought it was funny to try and scare me about what he termed as "bunny boilers" and told me that HE loves little badges and he even bought me a bar of cheap soap because he did not feel comfortable with the liquid Castille soap I used. He presented it to me (almost like a guy would present a wedding ring on his knees come to think of it) and I got the unspoken message in that moment "THIS is soap". SO many other weird little behaviors like this. After less than a week he had moved ALL my paintings around my home, without even asking me?? He once hit me over the head and burst into tears after I tried to reassure him that I usually have some boxes I don't unpack when I first move into somewhere new and apparently in saying that I reminded him of the 8 different homes he'd been kicked out of THAT YEAR,(I wonder why :D ) and what a bitch I am for upsetting him?? I bought him a cup of coffee in the city and cracked a joke about being his sugar mamma, and it turned into a HUGE issue where he argued relentlessly with me for making him look bad for having no money (even though he's the one who hinted that he wanted a coffee) and turned it into a giant drama to the point where we missed the party we were heading to! Most insane person I've ever met.

    I absolutely LOVE your videos, Dr. Dart. They are helping me tremendously. I am embarrassed to admit my 'marriage' to my ex-narcissist even beat Kim Kardashian's 77 day record. He woke up one morning and in "tears" sat on the edge of my side of the bed before he went to work and said, "I love you so much, you know that, don't you?" When I got up to get a cup of coffee, he said, "This isn't going to work out." and he left for work and came back with the police in the evening to get his things. That was less than 45 days after we got married and now, over 10 years ago. I am still embarrassed by how stupid I was back then. I saw ALL the red flags and chose to ignore them. When people tell you they are bad Co-Dependents, BELIEVE them!!

    • @DrDeniseDart

  • @kiacarter93
    @kiacarter93 5 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    The message is your not good enough...And if your not giving into the fantasy. Theres always someone else that he can get more supply from . And no one will ever be good enough. So dont think your missing anything. Someone else may look happy for the moment but they will go through the same cycle. They never change. This is a cycle of a lot of Hoovering , Fantom exs and discarding or ghosting .

  • @pauladsilva9374
    @pauladsilva9374 6 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    yup...he had a harem... I did it 9 times.... he kept me spinning in this cycle 9 times.... every 2 months went back to his harem... now his harem is supporting his fake facade.

    Oh, it'll be different alright, just not in a good way . Things will be wonderful, (maybe) for about a week and then - the punishment for having the audacity to leave of your own volition will start up - and it will not quit until you quit the relationship and leave for good.
    Those two last words are important... FOR. GOOD. *YOUR GOOD*

    I am so profoundly grateful for all of these videos. It is my belief I grew up with a narcisist, I have some terrible issues as a result of this, but have been in the dark about all this stuff until now. I think you have a fighting chance at love, when you can heal yourself and clear yourself of toxic patterns and people.

    @lynnvs6372 6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    They are always looking for new supply. You are always a temp situation. Even if youve been there decades.. you may not know of the targets.. but theyre there. When he finally manipulates the RIGHT target.. he will b done. But not until. Your staying power is ALL hes banking on

    • @lynnvs6372
      @lynnvs6372 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I wanted what I saw everyone around me. A home of my own. Stability and trust and time and energy. This is NOT what theyre looking for. Which is y this disorder is rare. Look around you at the stable couples. Thats proof. Now he might tell others hes successful and a homeowner. Because hes figured out that thats what most expect. And he will future fake you. Telling you if you just work more or make more money or love him more ... sex him more.. but thats all they want. They dont care about what you need

    I can only be one part of myself with my mom, and she’ll always drag me back if I’m authentic. This is how:
    .”what will people think if they see you like this?”
    .”I am better and have it worse than you, so you’re reaction isn’t justified.”
    .” If you calm down we can get lunch, or whatever you want.”
    .”you embarrass me, I’m hurt by what you’re saying/doing”
    .”you do the same bad thing to me so you’re lying.”
    .”I’ll leave you alone”
    Know the signs, know your worth. I will respect you if they won’t.

    You're so right!!💔 I was engaged to a man I dated on and off 13 years. He gave me a company car, NEVER asked me, what kind of car would YOU like, it would've been a turquoise bug Volkswagen LOL, when we went to go get the engagement ring it was all about what HE liked in taste, and what He bought??? I tried voicing my opinion ......When I started HAVING A voice, opinion, etc....it was done. I gave him back his $18,000 diamond it's more than I make in a year, everything was about him!!! And because previously I was the one doing all the Romancing seen being so available, he even hung up on me when I would not change my address and say I bought his house which was over at $700,000 house, for 350,0000, so he could save on taxes he went through the rough after hanging up on me. He cheated one of his new girlfriends had physically beat the crap out of me and he said it was a slap in the face things were not adding up!!! One of the boundaries I put into place was him you're speaking to his ex-wife and lo and behold he had talk to her about our hernia that was causing him no pain, I said I don't care if she's a medical doctor you promised that you would not have a conversation with her concerning anything but your child that you had together who is an adult this year by the way, so there was actually no reason to speak with her whatsoever and I let him know that it would be a dealbreaker for me well after three strikes, I was done!!!! He tried to project it on me that I was being too sensitive that's BS!! I was very hesitant about even dating him this time around, and he said you don't have to leave me just because I'm giving you this house the cost of $60,000, well I live in an apartment now after being tormented by him!!! I am now free and a much wiser person and on the road back to me thank you for all your videos🌹

    • @DrDeniseDart
      @DrDeniseDart  7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      +paula dsilva In many cases the ex’s are initially discarded and then Hoovered back in. It’s very common for the Narc to have a harem of old girlfriends and wives who fell for the “we can be friends” line.

    Our kids are suffering he triangulates them especially my daughter we are divorcing after 30 years my daughter and son have gained weight and depressed and my daughter is failing school he won't work so he is home all the time after he abused me physically in Feb 2017 I moved out because I knew I was going to file for divorce and would not be able to withstand his verbally abusive self and did not want my kids to experience anymore crap they are 15 ,17 my daughter is 15 and homeschooled because she was having trouble and public school with her grades and she's a tomboy so she's being picked on for the way she dresses and she's a pretty girl but she doesn't have much self-esteem so wasn't wanting to get up in the morning so my husband just want to what had an enrolled her in homeschooling without getting permission from me and so there she's been for the last two years feeling on our divorce attorney basically said that she needs you know counseling some therapy and we are going to need to do that but my daughter is so stubborn i'm just even wondering how I'm going to get her to the therapist because of course he's washed his hands of it told me this is your responsibility like everything else in him our marriage with a married for 30 years I am a dentist and have been for the last 13 years went back to school because I felt like he was never going to be able to support us or help in supporting us so I just decided to follow my dream of becoming Dentist since then that's been kind of the downfall of our marriage it's been very very difficult and he's just stayed home because I had my kids when I was in dental school and he stayed home at that point and took care of them and it's just been like that ever since he's worked a little bit here and there to appease me but he doesn't want to work and he won't work I just got through cancer two years ago I think because of the stress of this relationship he had a mild stroke we're literally killing each other and her four kids are in the midst of the battle and I just don't know what to do ?! We go in front of the judge in two weeks to finalize the divorce and I'm currently looking for a home I have a lease until March in my apartment my one-bedroom apartment but the kids won't come over because it's not comfortable for them and I'm looking for a home right now to accommodate them but it's it's just so difficult because now I've got to get her into school I'm going to get her to the therapist she's very stubborn and you know how do you force a 15-year-old to do anything really I mean I hope you have some suggestions

    For those of us men who have been victims of the narc wife or woman in our lives, it is terribly offensive that you always speak as if men are the only ones capable of committing Narcissist abuse. I'm here to tell you the Covert or vulnerable female Narcissist is the worst among the worst. I've lived with one for nearly 30 years. The hellish emotional & verbal abuse she has put me through is beyond description. Up your intelligence quotient will you & recognize there are thousands of men who are suffering this vicious abuse.
