    Everything he said was dead on accurate. This all happened to me and more. I was lucky enough to have had access to things most people never would to prove all the negative, horrible things that were being done to me behind my back. Since you probably won't get the hard proof like I was so fortunate to get TRUST YOUR GUT.

    The odd thing about the smear campaign is that when the narcissist comes back to you (and they usually do) is how they explain to everyone how suddenly you were okay to stay with after all. Also, they start the smearing way in advance so that when they eventually do leave you everyone will think how patient they've been and everyone will also assume that the narc has been the one who has actually been working on the relationship. Multi-faceted and dimensional freak show.

      That's what happened to me. I found out that my ex started lying about me years before discarding me. It was also a way to get his various girlfriends to focus on me as the "bad guy" when he didn't want to take responsibility, or when he wanted them to feel jealous.

      @@rachael_grey Yes I understand and know the pain you felt. The ex was, I believe triangulating with his ex our entire marriage. He denies this of course. He spoke badly of her to me as well all the while playing us both. He wants to reconcile now and there is no way. I found out that he moved secretly to where she lives in another state and still claims love for me. Using words like always and forever…. I’m going to start no contact soon but I’m somewhat concerned for financial retribution

Also we made plan to get together and she said the weekend still work. When the weekend came she cancel plan because she feels like has no energy and she needs to reschedule our plan. But then she never really tell me when we can meet up. Is this a sign that she is narcissist?

    I’ve definitely felt like I’m playing checkers to her chess game; like I’ve always been 5 moves behind.
    After 10 years she began to progressively treat me and my kids worse. Next thing you know she’s telling me to get out and was already making moves for life without me, including her own bank account (that she moved the money to) and systematically removed me from everything joint in the house.
    I feel so stupid.

    Got some big things going on here now Ben. I can't even type in "Hello how are you doing" without being ☹"Red Letter Return Error Yeeted" punished for trying to communicate with you. This is really all getting pointless now. If you only knew how many times this has happened. And how it picks on me. And how it hounds my heels. You'd buy me a cold beer for sure. They're making it where it really won't be worth the effort to try to keep this up no matter what anybody does. Now it surely predictably will let this comment go right thru in "Reactive Abuse" so I look like the crazy 1...Right?

  • @lannybackes1053

    For me, my wife began the smear campaign first. Her friends thought incase a terrible person. Then in one instance, her friend was trying to protect her from me and it resulted in a big argument between her friend and I. We were separated at the time. When the friend learned that my wife had just had me spend three consecutive nights with her the weekend before, the mask stated coming off. When she saw that I'm not the bad guy my wife had made me out to be, she withdrew and my wife ultimately ended their relationship so she wouldn't have to be accountable to her friend for her lies. Her other friends didn't know this happened and they continued to support her in her narrative. The new supply included. The boundaries I tried to establish were being put there because she was playing a game with me giving me false hope. Actions showing she wanted reconciliation, contradicted by hateful words. Then loving and kind words giving false hope followed by actions that contradicted those words. It was very confusing. I wanted to save our marriage and family so I played the game for a long time. When I began to force accountability, the narcissistic rage, and reactive abuse got to be extreme. She would push all my buttons, making me incredibly hurt and angry and then play the victim....and run to the new supply.

    My Cov Narc "wife" planned on me through "buying" "our" mobile home FOUR YEARS BEFORE I THOUGHT WE BOUGHT IT TOGETHER! She had been making rental payments on a vacant home and had intended to make it my future DISCARD HOUSE and place where she intended to end the marriage, push me out and move into it with her "real man." For good measure, she was likely "visiting" with him when she could during those 4 years and I believe it helped her "clean up" after lovemaking so that I would not be able to suspect she was cheating again when she returned to the apartment that I thought we were living in at the time! The time she had rented "our" future house corresponded to the year I confronted her about cheating! The limmerance was distressingly obvious! I'm just happy that this nightmare of my life(wife) is OVER!😁

    Your discussion in this video is uncanny, as it applies to my somewhat different situation. I met someone online who owns a You Tube roller coaster enthusiast channel. I’ve known him for over a year but we’ve never met in person. He used to give ❤ reactions to my comments on his travel vlogs, but started ghosting me several months ago while still giving these reactions to others on a given post. I have finally had to unsubscribe from his channel because it has become too toxic to deal with. He is in a heterosexual marriage but I believe he may be either bi or gay. Do you think he’s a narcissist?
