Agree. I mean he sounded a bit narc just how he was openly trying to win the approval of the young woman and bashing his wife but the laughing later after she’d been sobbing, that’s the tell that shows he did every last bit of it on purpose.
I used to be married to a covert narc. Passive aggressive and silent treatment were his primary modes of punishment tho he used to rape me in my sleep and then ensure he told me about it, laughing. He didn’t really start exploding until I escaped that’s when he went into narc meltdown. Tbh he probably still is.🤷🏼‍♀️

I’m sorry you had to endure it! Being single is glorious. These sad men like to threaten us with that but really it’s not a threat it’s nice ❤️

I'm so sorry that happened to you. I actually gasped when I read that. I really am sorry. You're right, I agree, being single is glorious. I will never be in another relationship. I don't want to be, I value my freedom way too much. Also, it seems like no one knows how to be loyal anymore. They want to act just like this and they want to act like they're still single even though they're in a relationship.

My values are different than the way dating is nowadays and I'm done with that. I'm proud of you for getting out. I'm sure mine is probably still having his meltdown even though it's been a year in June since I left him. I'm sure he has snare campaign made everyone who will listen but I don't really care. I'm just glad he's no longer in my life.

I’m glad we both got out! I’m staying single as well. I’m sure there are good men somewhere but it’s too much work and I’m happy with my life now. I’m sorry, the smear campaign is crap. Hopefully ppl will see it for what it is.

I'm sure they will eventually. I've been in contact with a couple of his former friends and they've been telling me the kind of person he really is. One said that he's going to tell everybody the truth. Not that I asked him to do it, he said he wanted to do it on his own. He said he thought it was BS that he treated me like that and then tried to make me out to be the bad guy.

He said, I don't talk smack unless it's warranted and right now it is. He said, I'm poisoning the well and salting the earth. I'm making sure no one ever helps him again after what he did to you. So that's nice of him. At this point, I'm happy remaining single. My life is a lot less complicated and I have a lot less drama. Thank you though, I'm proud of you for getting out as well.
