As long as we don't "normalize" these behaviors, it can be very useful. I think most people know the way their partner is behaving isn't "right" but we try to "ease" them out of it, or please them or minimize the behavior as "having a bad day." We come up with a myriad of excuses for a partner's behavior so nobody can say we aren't creative! ha!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing...and hugs to you, too Flower Bud!<br /><br />CZCZBZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09575206236892096611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6801485432556979796.post-67687971255506698052014-02-02T07:51:44.825-08:002014-02-02T07:51:44.825-08:00My N-partner loves detective series and he introdu...My N-partner loves detective series and he introduced me to Waking The Dead (English detective series). At first I didn't like it because the head officer Detective Superintendent Peter Boyd (played by Trevor Eve) was yelling all the time. But when I kept watching I started to enjoy the series, because this character is sent to a psychologist for anger management. I recognize my friend in him and watching together I wonder if he sees the same traits as I do (of course I don't say that to him). The sessions the Detective has with the psychologist are funny as well, especially when you are sitting next to someone who is like him.<br /><br />Just felt like sharing this.<br /><br />Hugs to all of you,<br />Flower bud<br />Flower budhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10138332132416334019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6801485432556979796.post-77709847642797231732009-12-09T12:38:22.437-08:002009-12-09T12:38:22.437-08:00Confusion reigns supreme in narcissistic relations...Confusion reigns supreme in narcissistic relationships. Maybe 'confusion' should be added to a checklist for people you-do-not-want-to-partner-with?<br /><br />Once we start creating relationships with people who are normally screwed-up like the rest of humanity, we are NOT confused. <br /><br />I think people are pretty much straight-up.

At first he would seem to truly understand, but as each day went on, the story got turned around.<br /><br />They say if you're wondering if you're with an N, look at how they behave when you're sick. They despise it. It shows weakness. I once was in so much pain from a cramp in my back, that I could not get out of bed in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. He told me to wake him back up if I truly needed help. What the heck. I of course, couldn't believe it. I had ALWAYS been there for him.

Even though research encourages us to believe narcissists are capable of 'change', EVEN THERAPISTS therapists are often loath to take narcissists on as clients.<br /><br />Why?<br /><br />Because after a psychologist has invested part of their lives in a client, they really really don't like getting the D&D when the client up and leaves. Forever.<br /><br />If they think THEY don't like it...how about the rest of us that invested our time AND our hearts? <br /><br />Hugs,<br />CZCZBZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09575206236892096611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6801485432556979796.post-73889157593001210372009-12-08T14:00:18.728-08:002009-12-08T14:00:18.728-08:00(Thanks for the link.)

When four months of terrible insomnia resulting in 1 1/2 hours of sleep/night left me unable to service him, of course. And do you suppose he has ever betrayed the slightest remorse in abandoning me when I was going through that? Nope.Maevehttp://maevean.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
