Why would a guy verbally insult just because you have boundaries and standards

I told him I didn't like his neglect and I said he can leave my life if he doesn't value or want me. I believe he is a narcissist who wanted to control me emotionally.

The label "Narcissist" gets used awfully loosely these days.

Once two people start calling something a relationship, suddenly they both start acting like jack asses and of course the blame game starts.

Well ladies, that is what happens when you choose to date bad boys, jerks, or whatever the nice term for "asshole" is.

@CestManan you are also the person who goes around here telling people not to face darkness to prevent it... so if that is your advice, empaths will never learn to set healthy boundaries, will never learn to identify toxic people who bleed them dry, and will never grow enough self-esteem or respect to stand up against narcissists. You should be careful to tell people not to label certain people certain things... for all the awful things I have seen in my life - this things I am completely sure about An abuser is an abuser, a narcissist will never take self-responsibility. But it does not mean that a victim of abuse should be denied taking control of their lives and healing by identifying exactly what happened to them, for what it is.
