    After almost 25 years of marriage, my (now ex) husband discarded me for a new supply. For the first couple of weeks, while I was trying (naively) to save my marriage, he very coldly said to me "I would've dumped your ass eventually, anyway". That went thru me like a knife. But, it was that moment that I realized he wasn't worth fighting for, too.

    OMG my ex husbands face was exactly how you described. During one of our last talks I was so desperately trying to get him to see me. I remember thinking to myself his eyes look darker than usual. He literally had no emotion and told me he found the love of his life and that was the end. It took everything in me not to break down crying in front of him. I said ok, got in my car and left. I haven’t seen him since my daughter was 7, she’s now 15. I’m so gracious for my mom because I changed my number and he had to do pick ups and drop offs with her. I refused to talk to him for years until about 3 years ago, once I officially moved on and got back on my feet. I still feel like i love him but I consistently watch narc free videos like yours to remind myself what it truly was. Thank you.

      I love him AND I hate him!
      I'm very dependent on him because of my several physical disabilities and diseases, and I don't make much from RUclips to do anything with except buy gas, but he takes all of that anyway and uses it for his trading and gives me nothing back.
      He withholds sex for weeks to months at a time and has been like this since he was in the army over 12 years ago.
      He had an emotional affair while in Korea for a year and I caught the evidence when he came home for 2 weeks RnR. When he finished his tour he had erased everything from his phone!!
      I also had done all the very, very hard work of getting mine and our little girl's' passports, I found a way to get there very inexpensively through the air force, found a nice, safe, affordable place to live near the base camp in Korea, found the school my girls would go to, had the money we needed for it, had all the paperwork you could possibly need to move to another country on the drop of a dime.
      Well, he didn't want us to go there! So he was without me and his two little girls for 18 months!!!!
      I hate him for that so much and my girl, now 19 and 17, know that's what he did and they're very disappointed, especially my 17 yr old because she is nearly obsessed with everything Korea.

      Keep determined in your process of ultimate recovery. You will probably always love him in different forms but remember YOU DON'T LIKE HIM! Agape unconditional love respect and acceptance but guard your heart with all diligence for out of it flow the issues of life. Recovery doesn't have to continue forever as a struggle because God's Grace Is Sufficient and The Blood of Jesus Redeems you. But also remember, no two individuals are identical so no process of grief, forgiveness, etc will every be anywhere near comparable measurably. God 1st then you then your child. You owe no one else anything. You seem to be very healed but you deserve WHOLNESS... Stay strong. You were definitely strong to shift when you did and stay away so long but don't let up. While you been honest with yourself that person is most likely still stuck in their own lies. Keep going forward! Your comment just have me joy. I love seeing people overcome excruciating dilemmas. It gives me joy hope and motivates me. I am cheering you and others who are strong in any situation on! Go go go! Fight! Win by any means necessary! ❤

It's what you thought he was, what he pretended to be, & what you wish it could be again that you're in love with. He is a fake, he is a liar and he is incapable of true love or empathy. He will use and abuse the next girl too, trust me! Count your blessings that he left! He did you & your daughter the biggest favor he could have ever done for you.

    This is so accurate. Discarded after 16+ years by text. He blamed me for everything wrong in his life, from physical ailments to mental ones. Told me he hasn't loved me for over 8 years. I was an acquaintance, at best. I pushed him away....Unbelievably cruel. It shattered me. Therapy is helping me identify I've been abused for years and never chose to recognize it for what it was....hell didn't even know about narcissistic abuse until the final discard and I ended up hospitalized for a panic attack.

    My ex boyfriend just did this to me two weeks ago. We were together 3.5 years. We had broken up for a month in fl. He went up to PA, wound up getting arrested while I was still in FL. I saved for three months , took care of that man while incarcerated. Saved money for an apt and appliances etc. Left my job, home, my adult children , left the state I lived in and all my security to start a life with him up there. Only to be discarded because I had a problem with him and his ex gf excessively texting each other. He kicked me out of the apt I got us. This was the coldest I have ever seen him in 3.5 years we were together. Like Lee said, I didn't even know who I was looking at. It was the coldest eyes and the meanest looking face I was looking into. Kicked me out 900 miles away from my home. Sure I was sad but I've been a little two weeks free from chaos, stress and drama. It's been amazing. He had the nerve to reach out on the other phone last week and tell me I didn't know what love was and that I chose to leave. Lol

    She alienated me over a period of time from our kids.
    Death by a thousand paper cuts.
    When it ended, she was finally caught out cheating, monkey branching and having an affair.
    The denial, gaslighting and blame shifting went into overdrive.
    In her narrative, I was still the bad guy and even more so.
    I HAD to walk away for my own safety, sanity and well being. She did her job very efficiently.
    With her being a woman, she fell back on social stereotypes. She was the victim and the hero meanwhile I was the abusive partner.
    Her word was gospel, nobody questioned it and if anything went with it.
    I got away.
    She got away with it all.
    It was a breakdown and devaluing she had been doing over a period of years before it finally ended.
    She was telling me one thing, meanwhile telling a completely different cherry picked version to others.

When I moved on he made my life difficult and yet he is engaged the whole time. Discarded our children as well but says his fiancé is a situation that went to far. Recently I made it very clear that I want nothing to do with him ever again and he says he want nothing to do with our unborn child but still want’s access to our two children. More concerned with “losing” his fiancé when he’s only been faithful for a month and only because I finally walked away once finding out. He discarded me after losing our babies. My eyes are wide open and he thinks I’m the same when in actuality I’m a different type of beast now. These videos help so much. Never again and I have no sympathy for the fiancé.

I've stop reacting to him locking me out of rooms and slamming doors in my face. He can no longer talk down to me in front of people because I stopped going places with him. Now he just does it on the phone when I'm around so i can hear it and laugh. He even pretends people are on the phone. Leaving and blocking me was the only thing he could do to get a reaction. He has people checking on me and riding by my house. He usually just pops up at my house with dinner and acts like nothing happened. I'm trying end this cycle. He is a textbook narcissist!

Found a new place in 4 days thinking it would avoid more drama and he would be happy. Nope! He calls the police the day I'm packing and moving out and accuses me of doing something he can't explain, and cheating, and files complaint to get a restraining order of protection on me. I end up being granted the restraining order instead of him with a cross complaint. He has to drop his false accusations. Now he has new supply and after learning what he is I am sooooooooooooo SORRY for her. Hope she has a good attorney as I did. And I am sooooo Grateful he has moved on. I won my peace of mind back 🙏 my sanity, my freedom, my confidence, a new group of supportive pple around me. I am also healing from my codependent traits. Yes i have a part, my need to please, and be affirmed, and ignorance about this narc/codependent toxic cycle. I am getting stronger everyday.

    I finally started no contact. It's only been 2 days but I had to do it, the whole family is cut off. My soon to be ex narc husband and I got into a heated argument and he didn't like the fact that I stood up for myself. I honestly started treating him like he treated me and he went into a rage ( I need a narc flea bath). He spit on me, which is the nastiest thing a person could do to another person, off instinct I started to charge him and he punched me in my face. My teeth went into my lip and I have a scratch on my left cheek, this isn't the first time he's gotten physical but will definitely be the last. He didn't knock me out or make me stagger in any way. I'm a pretty tough chick having grown up with 3 brothers. I completely blacked out and tried to get to him again but he ran into his mother's house and locked the door. He already knew what was coming. I called the cops and by the time they got there he'd already slipped out the back door and crawled into a hole somewhere like the cowardly rat 🐀 that he is. He didn't like it when he got a taste of his own medicine. Now I'm leaving it in the hands of the courts to decide his fate, but there is a TRO in place and I will be filing formal charges. I've just started therapy for all the damage he created in my life. This last incident was the final straw for me. I can't wait to be completely free of him. He was intimidated by me anyway. I'm a full figured model and pageant director, just too strong for him. I deserve better and by God's grace and mercy I'll heal from this both physically and emotionally. God bless to all the survivors out there. Stay Strong 💪🏾

" so I didn't know what red flags were. Since I grew up with my brother this way I didn't know anything was different. In September 2021 I met who I thought was a man of my dreams. The first date I went on with him, it had been 15 and a half years since I'd been on one. I was fed up with men I was fed up with how men acted. This man stole my entire world. When I say Entire world I mean entire world. I've lost almost everything. And I have no idea what I'm going to do. Including my reputation. I don't know what to do. People I've know for 50 years don't believe me but believed his lies even though I have legal, physical, financial, moral, proof!!! Sheriff's Department wouldn't look at my proof about all the things he stole. I never got to drive a truck I bought and told the sheriff's department 17 different places where he was with my truck, 4 wheeler, guns, father's jewelry, my jewelry, coin and knife collections, yet Noone will help me!!!

    I am SO grateful for your insight and candor! Thank you! Now that I see my narc for who he truly is, I will never be able to "un-see" it. He turned on me the moment our daughter was born. He had showed signs before that, but I kept making excuses for it in my mind. But we hadn't even left the hospital yet, and he showed me exactly how twisted and empty he is. He falls into the "covert" narc category completely. At first, I thought it was a mix of his own damage and my defiance to his attempts to weaken and control me, that made him cruel. But now, I realize that it was simply that he has zero ability to see anyone else with any bit of compassion or value. When I saw how he treated our baby, it finally hit me, that he is never going to change and refuses to take ANY responsibility for his actions or shortcomings. I was naive to think that I could help him or love him through it. It is who he is, as a person, and he doesn't think there is anything wrong with him. In fact, he has said out loud to me, that he is better than everyone else... Who talks like that? At first, I thought he was joking, but then I saw how serious his face was. It sent a chill through me. I fear he will become physically dangerous and lash out in desperation and rage, when I finally leave him for good. But until then, I'm not going to walk on eggshells or feed his ego anymore, and it's making him more resentful everyday. If anything does happen to me, people will absolutely know it was him, but that doesn't bring me any comfort. The final straw, for me, came when he started dragging my toddler into his depraved mind games towards trying to diminish me. He was telling her to keep secrets from me, that mommy was "mean", trying to instigate fights while holding her in his arms and screaming at me, and a few other things. She began waking up with nightmares, grinding her teeth violently in her sleep and got extremely clingy to me. I still have to hold her hand, for her to go to sleep at night, and can't even go to the bathroom or the kitchen without bringing her with me, because she has these huge meltdowns. She was a different child only a few months ago.... But I began allowing him more and more alone time with her, hoping that they were bonding and enjoying their time together. However, now I am concerned with exactly how he was behaving without me there. And why she has been so emotional and attached to me lately. I don't have an ounce left of hope for him to get better or change. So I'm glad videos like this exist, to confirm my biggest fear and also to grant me permission to move forward without the guilt he has always used as a tool against me. He is the most manipulative, petty, and damaged person I've ever known. And now, I will spend the remainder of my life healing from all of his cruelty and watching very closely for anyone else with his tendencies and personality traits, so I can turn and run as fast as I can from them! 🙏Thank you! And good luck in your future success! You truly are a lifesaver!!! 💜

    My ex destroy me! He destroyed our marriage. He took everything in my apt. He did me wrong! He try to make me suffer. I know I am better I smart out on him. Today I am better living better. He broke me down! He broke me at some point. I will never let a narcissist bring me down anymore.

      @Michellew345_ is this also because, you set boundaries, and was dating someone else as well, a casual relationship?

      @@jacquelinejackson1305ma'am no I said we dated for nine years long .. so it definitely wasn't no casual dating ... I really love that man and still do but he just couldn't hurt me .... I'm just not that easily hurt by people and when they trying to mistreat you ... Then it's nothing for me to choose me & when you a child of the most high ; I can do all things through Christ that strengthen me... Including leave.. which I did.... Be Blessed !!

    Sheesh. This is exactly what is happening to me right now with my ex-wife. She moved on and we had a convo a couple of days ago. I told her she didn’t ever make me feel heard and so on. She just dismissed what I said and said hopefully in your next relationship you can take what you learned from this one and apply it. She said she is a good catch and I said I am a good catch too. It hurt though, but I will continue to fight the good fight. I have a new woman in my life and she is amazing, but I feel bad often times as I do ruminate about my ex knowing that she isn’t good for me. I am in my trauma bond stage and digging myself out of it slowly. Your vids help a lot and we appreciate them.

    I feel like he tried but instead I flourished and became stronger than I could have ever imagine. Wasn’t easy all the time but was necessary and I actually thanked him for discarding me. Thanks for being here Lee

    My ex took all the money out of the bank. That was my last straw. We had been arguing for 6 months and he robbed US and that was the end. He told me I couldn't have his last name anymore so I said in our divorce change my name back to my maiden name.
    I got the divorce papers and my name was still his name. I asked why he did that? He said bc I feel like we will be together again.
    😂😅😮 nope it's been 19 yrs. I'd rather have his name than him.

    I remember thinking OMG why can’t this man just leave me tf alone. He won’t leave me alone until I’m a lunatic and homeless. I refused to let him drive me insane and that’s when I decided I had to fight hard to leave. I will never allow anyone to get in my life and make me feel so horrible about myself
