Narc 101
WOW! Here I finally thought I had met the unique person to fit me. (Of course now I know that was the façade store front of a man) … here I find out he’s generic narcissist reading the basic 101 manuals! He fits SO much of these stories. While I would call myself an empath I am definitely not the submissive type but I will choose the path less explosive. I now find the silent treatment as a mini vacation! I speak up when around our kids as they need to see a strong mother figure but find now we are really survive by literally being two ships that bump in the night! 😂😂😂 (there’s my humor!) I keep him happy with physical needs and I look to friends and kids for all my other needs (emotional support, cuddles, and conversations.) it’s not ideal but it’s survival so our son doesn’t hopefully take on traits. I’m happy being the fall guy if my kiddos are happy and with me full time. What I hate the most is that his needs (sex) always come before mine! While sick for over a month and a half he stopped transferring the money for groceries cause he wasn’t getting what he needed. Money and sex should never be in the same conversation or thought for that matter. I also hate that in order to fix anything/everything I have to make myself be intimate with him when that’s the last thing I want to be doing but as soon as I do it’s like nothing ever happened! Episode 13!!! The jewelry scenario! He bought me a necklace while dating and I told him I have always said “if I guy gives me jewelry he’s not the guy for me since he obviously doesn’t know me!” The year we got engaged a bracelet. And for our fifth anniversary another bracelet since he forgot he gave me the first one and he wanted me to have a whole set of fancy jewelry! He also bought “me” a washer/dryer one year for the holidays when we didn’t need one and I never asked for them, the following year an entire new kitchen appliance set again for “me” …he spent “so much money on me” so I should be grateful! A few years later pots and pans that he wanted. I liked our old pots and pans. And yes I absolutely love all these new things but they are just as much benefiting him as they are me. Thank god for Amazon wishlists now! 😂😂😂 but I actually like buying myself stocking stuffers and santa gifts I get the little things I’ve always wanted! Also my husband has a long standing tradition of buying “gifts” for himself and saying their from someone else …he and his dad do it for the holiday for themselves and this year he bought a $1500 gift and said it was from his daughter who’s 16 and cannot/would not spend that much on him.

This podcast has been essential in helping me to see the truth of my situation, and to begin loving myself enough to stop giving the narcissist permission to treat me like an afterthought. Thank you!

I’m confident that this podcast is partly to credit for saving my marriage. I started listening because I wanted to know how to deal with my spouse as I questioned if they were a narcissist. Turns out, both of us are a bit emotionally immature in certain ways. The tools and concepts discussed...Read full review »
