I simply saw the title and just clicked on. Drowning is the term I’ve used. My husband has been “holding my head under water” the last 10 months
So sorry! Yes, this was the ultimate click bait for us❤
Swim for shore!!
Same here 💜
Why do so many narcs have ‘fart humor’?
They’re so gross on so many levels
Lol Dr Ramani “I just don’t want to be with a gassy person”
— I feel for this woman, what a twisted man!
Because they’re stuck developmentally in childhood or teenage hood. Yeah when I was a kid, I thought those were funny jokes, but you grow out of it because you mature.
They’re immature
I’m immature sometimes farts are hilarious. But I can feel her on this, he farts and looks at her. Talk about uncomfortable! Dr Ramani is completely on the mark he was testing her. I probably would had ditched him. Yes over a fart..
Or racist remarks… its absolutely disgusting… or that might be a psychopathic trait.
Sending healing to all narc abuse survivors….,……. ❤
I was in my narc friends wedding, gave him supply like he had never had before, he was on cloud 9. A month later, I ended the friendship. I didnt plan that, but it hit him hard. He deserved it
You’re never in a “relationship” with a narcissist. You are in a dynamic. In a real relationship there is reciprocity, vulnerability, and a shared reality. With a narcissist, you are simply a role filler. You aren’t being seen for who you are; you are being managed for what you can provide.
For “dynamic” substitute ” parasitism”. The narcissist feeds on and drains the victim ( host).
Oh my gosh you described it perfectly. I complained he treated me like a side kick. A role filler sums it up
I’ve said I’m the peg sitting in the “wife slot” and it would make no difference if there was a different peg sitting in that slot.
My ex referred to his many affair partners as “plug and play “. It took me too long to realize I fell into that category as well, but so glad I did. We hadn’t even started divorce proceedings before he already had somebody else in the “plug-in play“ role. Wish I could let her know what she’s in for, but I think she would not believe me as they are so good at the love bombing.
I was telling myself it’s not ok and stayed.
You can’t “help” him, you can’t love him better, he is a power & control freak!! Get Away & don’t look back! If you aren’t happy & growing & independent & the boss of yourself….RUN!!!!
It’s not the gas it was the gaslighting. She seems like a sweet person, I hope she finds someone who can love her for real.
Oh my goodness, my husband did this from the beginning. Even when we were talking on the phone and I would just laugh it off.
Excellent example. Any time my husband of 35 years, made a mistake…I was suppose to overlook it. Dodging responsibility.
Oh my goodness! Thank you for sharing this🙏❤ Your story is so validating. Something similar to your first date happened to me. We were at a winter cottage and as I enter the bedroom to go to bed, the room was so stinky and I asked: Did you fart? It smaellls so bad in here. He replied, oh no it is the sulfur smell from the outside. I realized it was a huge lie as it was winter. This was a very big red flag. Farting is normal, it makes us human and ordinary, but narcissistic people don’t like to be perceived as ordinary.
Thank you Dr. Ramani for sharing this valuable interview❤❤❤
Not uncomfortability -the word is discomfort
As a reminder-being financially successful has ZERO bearing on being ensnared-it’s an emotional weakness
My ex-partner just broke up with me a few days ago, and I’m depressed and at a loss for what to do. I miss him and I need him back.
It’s never easy to say goodbye to someone you truly love. I learned this after my 8yrs marriage came to an end. I couldn’t bring myself to let him go, so I did everything I could to reconnect with him. In the end, I sought help from a spiritual counselor, and with his guidance, I was able to get my man back.
Wow how do I get in contact with your spiritual counselor?
His name is Father Obah Eze and he restores broken relationships and marriages
Father Obah Eze has assisted my close friends, coworkers, and even family members in getting their ex back.
Thanks so much this means a lot to me.
I was a working physician when we met and married. 25 years later, I am unemployed, out of my field, and looking at entry level jobs in administration. All of the career plans that were the reason for my transitioning out of medicine ended up “not being right for our family.” I’m broken, worn down, self-conscious and have no self-confidence or inspiration left.
That’s harsh,I feel for u!
These people also are never happy for your success. They’ll find ways to undermine or ignore it completely. They’ll even make up lies and gaslight you if they’re not comfortable or you’re receiving praise. It’s cancerous. RUN
Narcs being addicted to corn is SO true!
I’m a truth seer in my family of origin. Cost me my mental, physical, sexual safety. Thank God I’m alive.
At the top for sure when I experienced the relationship.
You will be treated like gold for months. Everything is hot and heavy – you found the perfect partner who is attentive, affectionate and passionate. The first red flag is they keep sharing their own stories (non stop blabbing from their aide) and don’t seem to be too interested in what’s going on in your life. The convos always switch back to what’s going on with them. Suddenly there is a switch and they are indifferent. For NO reason. There was no argument, no fight – in fact, the night before might have been one of your best nights together. After that switch, they will never ever come back to normal. You will be faced with constant silent treatment. You will be walking on eggshells. The minute you corner them and ask them what the hell is going on – you will be stonewalled. They gain power this way. You will be CONFUSED af. You will do everything you can to have the “old” them back, because you don’t like this new version. What you need to realize is the “old” version never existed. It was a complete lie and act – learned from friends, movies etc. It was a character made just for you – it’s no surprise you had a lot in common and now suddenly you don’t. The person you fell in love with completely disappeared, they are ghost. It is absolutely heartbreaking and devastating. All you see is the same body without the same soul. The more frustrated they see you – the more the run and push you away because they don’t want you to see that it was all a mask. Affection is out the window at this point. They can barely kiss or hold hands, but when earlier you were on their lap 247. The real them came out and the mask is off – they hate any from of emotion or love because they are not capable of it. You will be faced with constant gaslighting and they will try to distort your reality so you don’t see them for who they really are. You need to run like the wind – this relationship only makes you destroyed. Their friends don’t know.. for the covert ones – only their romantic relationship partners can figure it out. Because they are so careful with their image, it’s all about perception management. And one day… after all the cognitive dissonance and sleepless nights and feeling sick to your stomach.. you open YouTube and it’s a door to all your answers. You are well with a narcissistic psychopath that has no feelings. Leave and never look back. Additionally, If you need to find out about a Cheating Narcissist; send a request to: MetaspyHub@gmail. com
