We met working in a restaurant when I was 20 and he was 30 and we did have a similar mindset. Now I'm 31 and he's 41 and I've finally matured out of his BS .
I was married, very happily, for 40 years. My husband passed away and it took me 4 years after his death to start dating. The first “relationship” I got involved with was a text book narcissist. After being married my entire adult life to a very good man, I was like a lamb being led to the slaughter. You can be in your 60’s and still be naive. There was only 3 years age difference between me and this man but I had no concept of what he was until I was fully entangled. He kept asking me to get married and I at least knew I didn’t want to marry him. He discarded me out of the blue and was married to his wife #5 in less than 3 months. I think as much as it hurt, I really dodged a bullet. Good luck to #5.
Girl, God saved you from a lifetime of pain. I divorced my narc after 25 years of marriage and I'm still healing from that mess. Now I can spot a narc loser with my eyes closed. I'm still single and loving my new, peaceful life and freedom-- travelling and doing all the things i wanted to for years but was locked down. Living my best life now though! Now go live yours--you're worth it!
We met I was 28 he was 44. I’m now 33 and he’s 49. He tried to mold and manipulate me but because of my emotional maturity he failed and that resulted in him going back to an old supply who was married…
My ex husband new supply is 13 years younger than him. He told me younger women are “easier to shape and mold”. My response was women you age can see his BS a mile away.
I was 18, and he was 26. Although I was far more mature than people my age, due to my personality, and the fact that I had 4 older siblings. Even so, the lack of life experiences, definitely had me at a huge disadvantage. Fortunately, because I continued to mature, as humans should, the playing field was eventually leveled. I did give some years to allowing him room to grow, and see his “blind spots”. Eventually, it was game over. It’s more an issue of them finding someone who is vulnerable in a way that will allow them to take the most advantage.
Yep! I was 23 and he was 31. Didn’t realize it then but he basically saw/still sees me as a young innocent and NAIVE. Easier to manipulate easier to mold into what he wanted in his “perfect life”
I was 28 and she was 39. She looked my age and acted very mature yet immature same as me. We both looked the same age and acted the same. Both had our lives extremely together. She turned out to be...well I'm on this channel aren't I? Lol
Lee, I met a narcissist, and I am older. He could not use me, and I am by myself. I never had a problem being by myself, but some people have a problem being by themselves.
The narcs I've dealt with have gone after older women because the older women don't want drama. So the unaware older women ignore the bad behavior to keep the drama away... They let the narcissists get away with whatever... Older women will sometimes accept anything because they are desperate to have a man in their lives to not appear like the "old maid".
Older women will also prey on younger relatives, especially if they know that person was already abused. Helping to alternate the child from their parent
@@anonymouslee8287 sometimes they just want a companion. If they were in a good marriage and are a widow , they'll be clueless about the evil men that are out there just preying on them. Trying to get a free house, etc
The narc ex was always texting with his teen or early twenty 'friends'. Lil did i know that his 'friends' were his harem he keeps warm back then. He himself was a 30+ grown arse guy with the mind of an 8yo, he was a true manchild that exhausted me af! Glad that's over, it wasn't easy but i got out!🎉🎉🎉
Lee, your the first person who is having this discussion. It is truth, the guys I was in a relationship with told me, he has to get younger woman, virgins to have his children. Up to.this bless day, after (2) years, we're separated and he still hasn't had children.
As a woman, I have always seemed to be attracted to people younger than myself. Except in my 20s. I like how alive and healthy younger people are. Older people just don't have the same zest for life. I respect the wisdom and accomplishments of the older people, but always seem to crush on the younger ones. But, alot of older men date and marry younger women too. I have been used for money by younger men, but not like alot of older women. Alot of older women will give up ALL of their money to be with a younger man. Not me.
I would say younger male narcs can target older than them women that can be introverted, lonely with apt/home or money, women they see as less attractive and or a little overweight, low self esteem, bare minimum, nurturing, generous, and other similar qualities.
Hi Lee no I’m not crazy about the test run intro music. I thought it had gone to commercial. I was like now I know good and well I clicked on Lee’s video 😂
Thank you for this video! My ex-husband and I were the same age. However, his current girlfriend is younger. She’s 22. He’s 30. Also, my narcissistic dad was 34 when he met my mom. She was 21. 😅
Omg same here I was 23 I asked him how old he was he told me he was 33 whole time he was 36 I found out from one of his daughters she casually said my dad is 36 he old why are you with him you look so young 😂 I was like you think so?? Then I asked him again how old he was he ignored me I thought that wasn’t a big deal until a couple months later Lawd I should’ve left him alone since last year but i let myself go until I lost everything and almost lost myself man they the devil
i left an bad relationship and wasnt on good terms with my mom/stepdad at the time and wasnt ready to go home. he took advantage of that i was 24 yrs old. he took advantage of that and isolated me basically. in another state, treated me like i didnt know any better because he is older than me. im now 29 and took me long to realize he was a narc and abused me sexually and mentally. tried to put it in my head that my family didnt care for me or have ulterior motives. we are broken up but live together with a 4 yr old. trying to get out but its hard with no resources
Me and the woman I was with was the same age. I just had never met a narcissist, or been in a relationship with one. I didn’t know what hit me when she switched up on me. Luckily I don’t play them type of mind games and I’m always willing to walk away from toxicity. One someone pushes me away, that’s where I stay.
Lee, mine was 15 years younger than me, i had been 6 years single before being with him and i didn't need a relationship (i wanted but i didn't need It). In the beggining i told him "no" because i had clear that It couldn't work between a 38 girl and a 23 boy but he asked for an opportunity and he did It so well that i accepted, one of the things i was surprised a lot about was his level of maturity, more than some men of my age, but of course, that facade only lasted 7 months. During that time he gave me the level of respect and reciprocation higher than i had received before, that was the reason that i accepted to be with him. I hope it helps to understand those situations.
@MentalHealness that's how I feel...ever since I went live on RUclips talking about how well my session went last month...exposing him, he's let me go for good and moved on to someone new...he doesn't even talk to me anymore. My gut tells me he's planning a marriage with someone else and I'm in alot of pain. We have a baby daughter together after five years. I'm still trying to find my way again
I was 16 years older. I never had a relationship before. I thought it was love. I’m sure you all know how it ended! That’s why I’m here. Looking forward now and I have gone NO CONTACT. The whole thing has been text book. I am so disillusioned in life.
My ex covert narc abruptly discarded me for a kid at work 24 years younger. This was 1 1/2 years ago and I still have cognitive dissonance as she is beyond unattractive, heavy and still lives at home with her parents....I just do not get it and not sure what she has going for her. He is 55 she is 31...they spend every waking moment together except they never spend nights together. He lives across the street so sadly I see everything. What a painful mind blowing learning experience this has been!!
I love the new intro , however I’m usually anxious for the video to start so I would honestly be ok with a shorter intro or your logo just popping up on the screen for a few seconds or even no intro at all. ❤
This is a good episode. Could I get an opinion? When I was in the beginning of the devaluation phase, I told him I was interested in older guys and I wanted to date one, and he said that I shouldn't date anyone more than 2 years older than me because then they would groom me. (he is 3 years older than me.) Do you think that was some kind of confession, considering NPDs tend to think their experience is everyone else's experience? (Also, he knew I was groomed in the past.)
Yes i agree with this. My ex-husband narc love to be around younger people one because they put him on a pedal stool these dudes in his hodd are like 25-35 years old they smoke weed and smoke with him they think everything he does he does is funny and like to see him bring other new supply around knowing i was around all these years but it amuse them he treat women wrong calling him a fool man tell him he be doing us wrong but he don't act his age, he want to stay young with them he will not be around older people his age get with them younger guys and talk down about his older friend his age 57 years old be little them. It crazy how nacarisst surround theirs self with people not there age i sit back and just watch mines how he treated me and we both older but hate to be around me I knew that he like younger women his self in there late 20's and 30's age
I made the expirience that their interesting in older people, becouse no roules to go (get a house, invest in organizing the life and and) and their find a basic for comfort life and literaly money...
I was 20 when i meet my husband and he was 29.hes narc. Now im 39 and hes 48. Now we are seprated hes ben runinning after younger girl's we have kids. I dnt know my husband have some thing with younger woman he runs after young womans have affairs and call girls and so much more.
I was 34. He was 43. I was hesitant as heck because of the gap. He had kids and was like ‘Sooo… he could actually have kids kind of close in age to me. I don’t know how I feel about that…’ My gut was telling me and my lil heart said f u.
My soon to be ex husband started messing with his daughter best friend at the time he was 46 and she was 21 I find that very predatorial it’s just my opinion but I have nieces at that age. So I be trying to figure out was he looking at them disgusting .
Yes, I caught my ex narc looking at a 13 year old girl with lust with so much flirtation till the little girl fell for the attention and it kept going now she’s 17 and he can’t stop drooling over her, I’m not with him so it’s not my problem but it’s very nasty, that girl is his sister stepdaughter. He seen her since she was a baby no lie. It’s so nasty, I have a weird feeling something happened between them. But that’s for his sister to find out mind you the father of the girl is dating his sister but before he became brother-in-law he was already known as a close friend. I just want to inform you how nasty a narc could be. Oh and my neighbor next door her also has a daily routine he had to come out just to see her and the old lady across the street. Yeap old and young anything that looks back at him it’s fuel it’s validation it’s his energy to pump his self none existent self esteem. It’s sad. The fact I was completely in love with a man who never even existed.
“Narcissistic people can’t get people their age. They don’t have much to offer.”
Yup.😆
😮💨
True , they go after younger women who are dumb, or have ulterior motives! ( green card, free housing, nice car to drive, are examples) .
We met working in a restaurant when I was 20 and he was 30 and we did have a similar mindset. Now I'm 31 and he's 41 and I've finally matured out of his BS .
Exactly. We grow up but they don't

Life experience is a real thing. It don’t always come easy but those of us who are truly healing and put in the work do end up being thankful for it.
Narcissist target empaths! That was the case for me.
Yea oh I figured that one out took a minute but man oh shit!!!😮 it was like boy am I dumb
And neurodivergent people: autistic, ADHDers etc.
Leeeeee “Give me 45 or 50” Bro I died!😂😂😂😂
This is so true ,met my ex when I was 30 and he was 47.
They also go after borderline developmentally delayed.
😟
The narc ex was always texting with his teen or early twenty 'friends'. Lil did i know that his 'friends' were his harem he keeps warm back then.

They can be trained low miles lol
The one I know is like this in the "Friend" zone...however when it comes to relationships ...it's STRICTLY OLDER.

@@MentalHealness Most definitely! Lesson learned!
I was barely 20 he was almost 32 been married 16 years and I finally filed for divorce
They like young people because they are immature! I was 28 years old and he was 42. He was once married and divorce before we met.
I was only 30...sheesh

Im 36 and yes i feel older! 😂
Just grow up an you be alright take responsibility for your actions your thoughts think better before you talk Amen
