      Their staring is true Not understanding what I was talking about… he yelled at me::: why don’t you understand me…. We are not talking the Same langue… yes he was right!!!
      And He didn’t get that he manipulates…. He was so deep down in this game of survive and protection!!!
      But I know that he knows what he is doing!!!
      This whole relate was a mix of game, force, pit of truth telling, challenge… and in the end a giving up hope for both… that’s how I feel about it!

      The inability to feel empathy…like really feel it…rather than just fake it? Is astounding to me. And utterly horrifying. He’s duped so many into seeing his charm rather than his cruelty & unabashed evil.

    The reality of this makes me so angry! 9 years, and 2 kids later, and I've only been in his way. I've been nothing but a necessary burden to him.
    I've realized that without me desperately trying to please him, and care for him, there is no relationship. Constantly raising the bar. I'm so exhausted.

      Girl I have 3 w mine 2 still living. They both have mental health issues as well as autism. He’s been in and out of prison their entire lives oldest is 11 the other is 9. He just got out end of June last yr, got out early due to covid. Anyway since the beginning I’ve been there for him every time and then April 3 we split and he hasn’t talked to or checked on our kids since. He won’t even help financially even though he has no bills!

      Raising the bar-- we were slaves manipulate to serve the narc… we did this to care because we love…and we did this for free…… the narc said to me: you did not have to do this, I Never asked you to do this…. I said: hey I care for you and want you to be happy…. He told me: thank you, but I don’t ask you to do this for me…… -- as we now know they manipulates us to do this, they Traped and tricked us with victim play and the love bombing addiction--- so yes when you stop caring you have no use for them and you were thrown away you
      are useless---and on top, they try to Shame you by giving you the guilt that they are leaving you like beside the road. And that’s so so coward and disturbing 😳 no words ---yes you are Right… and this Knowledge is what brings und healing ❤️‍🩹 so so hard to Exept but that’s the way it is!!!!

    He tried to hoover me two days before Valentine's Day with some lame text message like it was sent to his new supply that has the same area code. I knew he would try so I was prepared. I knew he did it on purpose just to see my reaction. If that door was open even a crack. He did this before for 40 yrs. The door is closed. I never want him back. I have moved on to a new life and love for myself. I don't miss the constant toxcitity at all. Still healing after months but regaining myself again much happier it takes time.

    Hard to grasp…the levels of callousness & cruelty. Mind cannot comprehend this kind of diabolical & ice cold operating system. You are doing important work helping victims of narc abuse. I definitely sank to his level & mirrored him: but it never felt good. Nothing with him ever really felt nurturing or peaceful…he definitely didn’t care. What a sad existence being a narc must be. I hope his new supply catches on more quickly than I did. He’s just not? Capable of genuine empathy or accountability.

    I just had to pause the video when you asked what he did to care. All the things I thought were him showing me love before I can see the manipulation, the gaslighting, the devaluing now. Wow that was unexpected and hurts. Even still I’m getting surprised by just how much of a lie our entire relationship was. 😔

    @josievaccaro 2 роки тому +1

    He isn't hoovering me this time because he got exactly what he wanted from me. I kinda still do have that hope, but not for the best reasons: for the satisfaction of showing how much I don't care this time. That's my ego speaking. The better route, I am learning, is to care about me. This means growth. He left with a win mentality based on my reactions, and a smug attitude asking me "do I look good?"... the fuck! I am not ok, hoping... but then the abuse I endured from him and his roommate makes me realise "what am I doing hoping to run into him?" He knows exactly where to hurt me and with whom... This video is so inspiring as indifference is key, and to me that means doing what makes me feel good with myself and makes me feel proud of myself... I lost 2 years of my life, I do understand, however, I was vulnerable back then when I thought I was getting stronger... self-compassion (so hard for me right now) trumps self-righteousness, which can only lead to entitlement... that is not who I want to be. Thank you Ben from the heart.

    I haven't heard from him in years, and I hope I never do. I spent 5 years with him, just to be USED. He only asked me to marry him so that I would stick around and not date other guys. How sick is that? All along, I thought he really lived me. He never complimented me. In the 5 yrs with him, he told me one time he "loved my eyes" and my "high boots are sexy " That's all I got in 5vyrs. He loved money. Yachts, sports cars., jewelry, etc..He knows bettervthan to come back . I moved, I changed my phone #, and I don't go on social media.

    This guy is really good. My "relationship" ended a year ago so I've been pretty much over it already and haven't watch videos in a long time. For the first couple months I did the whole UA-cam video thing learning about everything that happened. This guy popped up on the UA-cam main page a couple nights ago and I decided to watch him. I wish Ben was around when I was first watching videos, all the others out there seem like half their knowledge is BS, only providing information from a "victims" perspective. I hate to use the word victim though, we were part of the problem as well enabling the behavior. This guy tells it the way it is with no sugar-coating and it makes sense at the same time. Well done Ben, your delivery is incredible, and your translation from what goes on in your head to us makes a lot of sense.

    Yes I have seen this. Some people equate hoovering with love! It's either because they haven't been in a narcissistic manipulationship! Or they have been in one for so long, like me in the past. That their thinking process/ logic so distorted. In some instances non existent. It's been wiped out. Years of brain washing through living with the narc
    I have remained in that chaos for so long. Almost died trying to fix it. Talk about boundaryless giving🤢 He kept on raising the bar or completely changed the goal post! The harder I tried, the deeper I sunk! Some twisted sick game! I have opted out! Not participating on the crazy making. Clearly the ex isn't concerned with what I want or do not want! Left 5 years ago, few restraining orders in place.! He got arrested for breaking them in 3 different occasions. Many other occasions I was told, it can't be proven. The ones he got arrested for I had picturs, with location on. Witnesses and videos! Yet he just keep coming regsrdless!! Until today, he keeps coming, undettered! The lucky ones who didn't get hoovered or stalked. Need to remember that being hunted like an animal, doesn't feel so loving! When someone loves you, they respect your wishes. They don't force their presence on you. They don't treat you like a property that they must retrieve/ use as they see fit! Hoovering isn't caring! It's to assert control over you and to maintain the narcissist's false narrative ,://

    The worst part is constantly expressing what your needs or boundaries were, and ONLY after an enormous fight did they do it. And only for a short period of tine. Then turn it around on you, "well you told me I never do this, so believe what you want to believe"
    Yet here we all are, trying to understand how that was okay for them to do... But there is no way to understand someone with no empathy

    So this is all confusing to me but also has put me in a slightly calmer place.
    My ex is completely different towards me now. Like polar opposite different! Why wasn’t he that way for the 18 years we were together? He’s now respectful towards me, absolutely no put downs or sarcastic remarks, no belittling, no swearing at me etc. it’s like he has a different personality now. He’s even got me a washing machine from his work as ours broke.
    He asked politely if I had plans on Saturday and if not would I like to go with him and our daughter out. Bought breakfast from McDonald’s and then burgers from McDonald’s in the evening. Does he not realise this is how he should of been like when we were together. I cook for him too when we eat so it’s not like I don’t give anything back. It’s like we’re together but no romantic/dirty talk, emotional stuff gets spoken about. So it’s like platonic friends. Honestly it’s like he’s a completely different person and I don’t understand why nor why now and not when we were together? I can’t hate him as he gives me nothing to hate him for. He even saves snacks for me and brings them round for me. It is so puzzling but I like it at the same time cos it’s like he takes more notice of my views now and treats me like a human.

      I also want to add that my recent ex does this but comes around when it's convenient for him. He is dating the woman he was in an affair with trying to hide her from me and also trying to hide me from her. It's gross. I cut off all contact(until we get a court order for the kids) as it seems he's trying to get benefits from me when he doesn't get them elsewhere (he treated me like complete garbage for the last year). Anyway. I only feel my behavior was enabling him to continue his fuckery and destruction and also validating his behavior and letting him know what he did wasn't that bad. That I didn't mind be treated that way. We also have a 13 year old and I'm not trying to teach her that toxic relationships are okay. Be careful.

    How do I get over the fact that for 6 years, HE stunted my growth, and the growth of our young child. If he had just agreed for us to be done in the first year when I wanted to, our child would have been able to have seen me in a more full life……instead of waiting for HIM to come home while he was out there having a full great life(lying and saying he was working and destressing by gambling only)…. giving us hope to do those fun things with us? HOW DO I GET OVER THE ANGER OF HURT OF THIS? Just fyi I am planning stages of leaving, my boundaries of him keeping me posted to at least a limited aspect of whereabouts and time coming back to the house have been completed cut since this year i’ve been getting on him about finding out he was cheating. But even though we live together he should still at least post to some degree out of respect. Even though he’s not being clear, even though we may not be in relationship (which is ridiculous he won’t be clear, he said not right now) This feels so disrespectful. One main reason I stay is because I want our son to have some type of memories with his dad before we split. And second is I’m waiting for the lease to be over so I can cut all the bills in my name. I stay at home he works.

    I understand emotions as concept but I don't know how it is in reality."
    LOL, poor him.
    He continued
    "On top of it the inner anger plays a role in unnecessary arguments , that ends up hurting you .in hindsight when I look back I hardly understand, what the hell was so huge that we had these shouting arguments."
    We? He raged at me.
    Then he wrote:
    "Plus I believe I don't hear people. although I can stay silent when somebody speaks. but I just take the bullet point and understand it with my own perception
    it must appear to other person that all those words just travel up to my ears and fell down. I have to listen more".
    LOL
    I wrote him back, that I would be rich right now how many times he wrote me those fake insights and nothing changed.
    Trust me, you don't need those fake hoover attempts, because nothing will change anyway..
