    That man is a classic full blown narcissist! It’s like listening to my daughter’s ex! Blame shifting, victim, triangulation, smear tactics, self-sacrificing, delusional, grandiose saint, twisted half-truths, denials, gaslighting, incessant lying, no accountability, entitlement, self-justifications, over dramatizing & no acknowledgement of the crime of bigamy he committed! Always with a long winded story/checklist of “she made me do it”! My daughter’s ex was just like this & also from Michigan! Same demon, different face! Lisa, you were lucky to get out when you did!

      @@briellewalker5654 While in Jackson, Michigan, my daughter was being treated for fibromyalgia by a Christian doctor who had the ability to see demons. He said he was leaving the state because of the huge influx of demonic activity that he saw. She brought her boyfriend with her on one of her appointments and the doctor looked confused and asked who was he seeing in that appointment and inferred that there were MANY in the room! This only happened when her boyfriend came with her! I’m of the opinion that demonic oppression or possession is at play with narcissists!

    I have watched a couple of your videos now and i really feel for you. And those letters made me very angry.. i understand how you feel but its in a weird way comforting knowing that im not the only one that has been going trough this, even though i do not wish this upon anyone else. I wish happiness for you in the future, i geniunly mean it.

    Its as though you know my story with my ex wife. So many lies. So many deceptions. Catching her cheating for 2 years with a friend was devastating. I have always been very strong as a person but this one kicked my butt pretty bad. This video is unbelievably accurate regarding the lies they tell and how looking back on it, the lies she told were her own. She believed them herself and justified her actions. She also told me she would not be nasty during the divorce...but then turned ugly when her boyfriend moved in. I've enjoyed hearing your videos. Thank you.

    Thank you for this vid- it is clear that it is still hard for you to read the words in those letters... what they say is like a playbook- but how is it possible that they all independently come up with such similar BS? Is it how all brains work or is there a particular psychology that thinks a certain way, and can cheat, hence the similar justifications and deflections? My hubby had rewritten the history of our whole relationship in 2 mths since he met the other person... and I was all bad... he was unhappy for years (altho he out on a brilliant performance in the role of loving spouse and doting dad)... what really struck me is the level of seething resentment and grudge holding (about my alleged control and criticism- another classic hit from the cheaters’ playbook!) that he had never in almost 10 yrs mentioned to me... it really is quite scary that meeting ‘the one’ can change someone so much in such a short space of time...

      I am just going through this. Three weeks ago I was crying on her couch because he yelled at me on the phone because I just wanted him to call me when he was working away. He lied about not having phone service and the whole time there was another girl. Which I didn't know yet. I was crying and asking her what I did so wrong. She was nice. Until he talked to her. Then she texted me "if it helps he wishes it didn't happen this way"....

    It's interesting coming back to this three years later. There's so much I could say about this letter he wrote, but if I were to sum it up into one statement, it's this: It doesn't matter. Everything he did and how merciless and maybe even psycopathic he was towards you tells you volumes more than this letter ever will. It's why I don't trust what people say but instead look at what they do. That's where I've landed after all of this.

  • @briellewalker5654
    @briellewalker5654 3 роки тому +2

    The parallels are shocking. My husband also left for happiness he apparently didn't have with me. But the big issue was that he was saying how much he loved and missed me just weeks earlier. He blamed his actions on everything else. I was in the middle of putting in my two week notice to go work with him like we planned. Then I chased him across the state to talk and try to figure out why he suddenly changed. He wanted time to think about if he wanted to be with me so I couldn't go to him. Then I found out the coward had already started a relationship with someone else. Funny right? He never mentioned any of these things to me. And he never mentioned her. I found that out the hard way. Bingo. So that's why he changed out of nowhere..

    I'd imagine by this time you are a lot better at this time but I feel for you. It's a terrible terrible thing. I was just told a month and a half ago by my wife that she had an affair. I'm still getting over the obsessive phase but it's getting better. Hers was emotional and blamed her insecurities from her high school days with this one guy that always had a hold on her. 20+ years later she found herself in the same spot and acted on it. They didn't have sex but it still doesn't reduce the hurt. She cut ties soon after and 10 months later finally told me. She's doing nothing but self shaming and crying and tells me she doesn't know what happened and that I deserve better but I tell her that "yes i deserve better but I want to give you a chance to give me that better from you. Not from anyone else given we have 15 years and kids together and a whole lot of crazy memories." It's like she was in a whole different mind set and couldn't control it from what she says. I told her we can work it out and we are on a good path, especially considering she still loves me and I never felt that love leave in my heart or hers in those months that passed until she told me. That's what keeps me going and willing. I appreciate every ounce of effort she has been giving towards me and showing me she really wants this daily. I can appreciate that while still holding her accountable and telling it like it is....."She had an affair." Let's face it and call it what it is right? At this point she needs to make those changes to her insecurities that can control her decisions and she's been seeing a therapist. Our communication and affection have been more than before and great since but I need consistency and permanent change and her to regain my trust through her actions. I hope for the best and I'm going to keep on fighting as well as her from what she tells me. I hope the best for you and your future Lisa. You seem like a great loving person who deserves the best out of a significant other.

    The problem with her was she never talked to me Sat down and discussed anything just cheated on me stole money
    And turned into a monster I never thought I would ever see
    She lied to me I asked her u seeing someone I got he's only a friend
    Then I kept asking which I got yes no yes no funny that there's a photo of the prick on yr phone you not here at night coward
    Then she said he's got more qualfications than both us ever have in life
    So that makes him a better person
    This life has to much pain in it

    Sorry you had to go through that. Just found out a 5 mo ago my wife had been keeping in touch with her ex husband for years. The half truths and all her thinking this makes it sound better etc. The “nothing happened” we were just friends turned into we cheated a couple times but it’d been over months ago to it really went on a yr and a half to over two yrs and was actively going on when I caught her. Then found out from his wife she’d reached out to him on social media 9 yrs ago and they’d gone to lunch. His wife found out threatened to divorce him. Went back to another state n he left to go with her n their kids. At this point I’ve just told myself with all the half truths etc she probably cheated 9 yrs ago and then again with him off and on more recently when we built a new house in same county he and his wife lived. Idk that. We are trying to work through this but not going to lie. Idk if I will ever trust her again.

  • @russellbarton7565
    @russellbarton7565 Рік тому

    I put up with my ex wife yelling and screaming at me and putting me down for 8 years. She told me every day all her ex boyfriends were better than me. She told me everyday how happy she was before she met me. My ex wife refused to get a job even after I put her through school to get her masters degree. She constantly kept telling me to get a second job and make more money while she was spending $800 a day at the mall on expensive shoes and purses. She wanted me to hire a maid to clean the house. Cook and do the laundry because she was to lazy but I refused. We taught everyday and every night for years. I would purposely work late and not get home until after 11 pm just because I was hoping she would be asleep and we wouldn’t fight that night. After all the stress and anxiety I felt like I was going to have a heart attack so I decided I need to change my life. It was either her or me so I decided to go find someone else I cheated on her. I didn’t feel good about it but I wasn’t getting any love or respect at home and my feelings for her at that point where gone any way. So my ex wife finally decided she wanted a divorce and left the house.
