When you did you realize that you're better off alone?

@SW-User Maybe when you realize he was giving up your happiness to keep him happy

I agree 😊@Jester1987

@SW-User Some men expect you to give up a great deal to keep them happy,they are called narcissists,you did well to give this character his marching orders,it took me seven years to give mine his.

Yesh my husbands narcissistic, I haven’t left yet, I’m in the process of saving and getting advice. Won’t be long, I’ve told most close to me and feel strong now to go.... @berangere

@SW-User

So true@berangere

@SW-User Yes, you will need the support of those close to you,he will try to stop you leaving,mine used to threaten suicide and that I would have his death on my conscience,this is called emotional blackail and like "gaslighting" they are very adept at it.Mine never commited "suicide" after I left him,he soon found himself a new victim.

He gas lights all the time.. I’ve seen it all now, just want out.. I’m done, have been for years just taken me a while to finally do something...
I know he knows it’s coming, he’s been acting super fake nice to me.. all an act to keep me here. But I see past it. Lol 😂 @berangere

@SW-User They will try to "hoover" you back into the relationship and if you do go back,it will start all over again.But once we are done,we are done.

No going back, never ever again, one long hard lesson... so sad I really truly did love him....
He completely killed it. 🙄😞 it feels good to know it’s going to be a fresh start. ☺️😊@berangere

@Jester1987 Yes,you could put it that way,they certainly can give up what is yours and that includes your money.

@SW-User Yes, narcissists do not know what they have lost,but again they are such fake people they would not know,they lack those emotions.
