I have been merrily NC for over 4 months now, and I am beginning to feel sparks of happiness and like my healthy positive self again...then I get this FB 'invite' to be friends on FB...from my EX's new OW that he just met a month ago on PlentyOfFish! I guess already they are an 'item' and 'soulmates' and SOOOOOOOOO 'in-love'...but the weirdest thing of all...bnesides the fact that she already admits to being 'addicted to him' and that he is her 'drug' after only 4 weeks...but she has made herself over to look like ME!!!
OMG! OMG! She actually dyed her hair my exact color and poses and dresses like me...even posted a new pic of herself...looking like a version of ME on her FB.
I want so much to warn her...BC she has children...BUT I know I can't and won't...at this stage she would never believe me...and would also tell him. He is a violent man and I don't want to stir up anything directed towards me by warning her.
Dont' worry...I know to block her FB and not accept her 'invite to be FB friends' (she used a fake profile for this)...possibly so HE would not know...or I wouldn't. But anyway...just wondering...before I block her...can I at least send her a message that might direct her to locate his history of violent behavior and point her in the right direction...
Or NO...just block her and say a prayer for her???
I had similar experiences!!!
July 24, 2012 - 11:26am — brinamarieI had similar experiences!!! MULTIPLE girls who copied my hair color, style, and clothes. Then had the NERVE to give ME dirty looks when i'd see them out!!
I literally hibernated in my house all winter traumatized from going to any public places i'd have to see these idiots. I'm over it now, 7 months NC, and have a new bf who is always by my side & knows what I have been through.. but i still HATE those girls!!!!
Ex N does it to them. he creates it. But the funny part is, they knew about me (as the "gf") but I didnt know about them until the very end.. Fuck them all. Him, and the 30 OW.
I know Hunter says we are all the OW... but some girls become so obsessed. I'm glad none of them were CRAZY enough to physically hurt me over the obsession w/ him!
Ew ew & EWWWW
this is so weird. when my
July 24, 2012 - 5:09pm — owenjohnstonthis is so weird. when my narc left me i had a blond streak through my fringe which was pretty unique, then when i saw him with his new victim in a coffee shop a couple months later the new victim had a blond streak through his fringe too.
but i think maybe the Ns persuade them to get it as the victim had never met me
Copying Not a Compliment
July 24, 2012 - 5:32pm — GracefullyFreeThe OW (now NS) thought she'd "won" him. He had talked about her for months saying she wouldn't leave him alone (she had a fantasy 'love of her life' who is a guy everyone in town stayed far far away from knowing that guy was insane at the time).....and referring to her as "fat, ugly, old, psycho, loser, loner" and so on.
Suddenly, when no one (even his mommy) would take him in and he had no place to go, he landed on her couch still begging me to take him back. When I didn't, they suddenly were "in love" and "together"....three weeks before he went to prison. (Uh huh. Yep.) She's sending money and visiting and....yep...."taking care of the kids" (she has a relationship with the kids, not him). Bucks and babysitting. (I got used for the same things.)
Anyway....she is completely the opposite of me. There is nothing 'girlie' about her at all. She wears mostly T-shirts and long shorts, sweat pants. And tennis shoes. She never did her hair and makeup until.....
I saw her at a gas station a couple weeks ago. Suddenly, she's wearing makeup and 'doing' her hair and it's even lighter (I'm a blond).
My first thought was, "Oh yeah. It's started. He's devaluing and telling her how she's not like the women he 'likes' Poor woman. She doesn't know what she's gotten into."
She still looks nothing like me. (Our body types are totally different for one thing.) But it's weird.
It was really HER
July 24, 2012 - 10:29am — The Narcissists...The fake profile was created in a different name than her real name, but she stupidly used her real email to create it.
When I got the invite, I could tell it was a fake profile, no info, no photos, no 'friends' and created very recently. I accepted the invite so that I possibly could get more info to see if it was just a 'friend of a friend', and then saw the email affiliated with the profile. Not the same name at all. I mentioned this to a mutual friend, as I was concerned my EX was still trying to stalk me ( he has done this in person and online and I was on the verge of getting a Peace Bond Order against him if this continued) But this friend recognized the name of the email ( her real name ) and informed me it was his new GF. ( don't worry I blocked her right away ) She may have been wanting to see my photos and information. She may have wanted to ask about our relationship? I dunno!
So YES, it was his new GF. And I saw pics of her that she posted on her Real FB profile BEFORE she met my EX, and the 'new look' she posted on her profile pic yesterday when I wrote this post.
I was absolutely stunned and creeped out a little too that she went from practically black hair and very heavy make-up, dark eyeliner and lipliner...to have her hair dyed the exact color as mine ( dark blond w/ highlights) and cut her hair in exactly the same style as mine, and then posted a photo in the same pose ( position & smile from the side ) as MINE on my FB profile.
If anyone thought out this situation, SHE surely did.
There was a movie about a woman who had Borderline PD who made herself turn into almost an exact replica of a woman she both emulated and was jealous of, she had manipulated her way into this other woman's life and then literally dressed like and almost seemed to 'become' her...and then take over the other person's life and friends, and sabotage/ destroy this other person who she called her 'best friend'. I think that's the name of the movie called 'The Best Friend', ( never saw it )
I've never had anyone do this before. It feels VERY weird. I mean this OW has just made herself over to look so much like me that she could be my sister! I can't explain how creepy this feels to me. And she DID try to 'befriend' me on FB under a fake profile.
I have a blog that is in my real name. Obviously she know MY name ( you know these guys smear us and triangulate us with the new GF so she tries even harder to not make our mistakes and he gets even more supply as he plays on the 'pity' ) Perhaps she got curious and looked me up, and if she did....she would get A LOT of info on Narcissism, Psychopathology, and hints at his true nature...without my giving his name of course )

July 24, 2012 - 9:51am — UsedThis could be the narc if its a fake profile, and for the life of me why would anyone want to be friends with their b/f 's ex......This whole thing sounds thoughtout but false...
Yeah, I agree she definitely
July 24, 2012 - 8:32am — BruisednotbrokenYeah, I agree she definitely needs help, but nothing you can tell her would be enough to get rid of him if she really "addicted" to him already. Right now, he has her under his spell. It is great that you blocked her and are continuing NC with both of them. However, my heart breaks for those kids too. To see their mother fall for a man like this so quick, and what is right around the corner for all of them. I hope they aren't affected by what is about to happen.

Stay true to you!
Janie
NC....
July 23, 2012 - 2:56pm — fallingfowardis the only way to go. Whatever you tell, she will turn it around and use it against you. She will tell the ex-narc and then he will mindfuck her with what you say, Save youself the drama.
My ex-narc ow did the same thing, dyed her hair dark brown with highlights. It was just like mine. She even enrolled in college, just like me. Poor baby, he's mindfuck her 12 years and it's still going on.
When someone really wants help they will look for it. Just like we did.

NOOOOOOOO......
July 23, 2012 - 2:39pm — PeeksBlock her and keep moving forward.
Don't go anywhere near what could turn into ALL KINDS OF HORRENDOUS NONSENSE !!!
You don't need it - you are doing great.
Leave 'em to their own hell.
She sounds as bonkers as him.
You don't want any of them near you........
lol @ bonkers comment.yes,
July 23, 2012 - 2:44pm — Deidre99lol @ bonkers comment.
yes, she does.
i'd say it's due to the effects of dating a narc, but only 4 weeks, wouldn't send someone over the edge this quick.
what i do glean from this however is...
he must be talking about you a lot, thenarcissistsgf. because how else would she know about you? how else would she be able to change her look to match yours?
sounds like triangulation, and frankly, he'd get off on it if you engaged with this chick.
STAY AWAYYYY...FAAAAR AWAY. LOL
This woman needs a lot more
July 23, 2012 - 2:33pm — Deidre99This woman needs a lot more help than you can possibly give to her. Really. Dying her hair, and making herself look like a mirror image of you is beyond creepy.
She says she is addicted to him, like it's a positive thing.
I'm afraid what you have to warn her about, will fall on deaf ears.
Block her FB page, and move on. Let them enjoy their drama cocktail together...sharing a straw. Just go about your life.
I'm happy you are doing well with NC! That's great to read. :)
You are Right
July 23, 2012 - 3:01pm — The Narcissists...I just blocked her. Will not communicate with her...SOOOO strange if you see her before pics from a few days ago. (dark hair, heavy makeup and eyeliner)...reminded me of 'Snooky' on 'Jersey Shores' reality TV (never watch it but saw a pic)...in the profile pic on FB that she just posted, she has dyed her hair light brown with blond streaks and cut it in my same style....OMG SO weird, think she has some personality disorder too. I NEVER felt addicted to my EX, and never thought of him as a 'drug', and didn't even fall for him until at least 6 months of inseparable daily dating (although he was telling me he was 'in love and wanted to marry me within 3 weeks).
Funny you should mention that he must be talking about me...Coz someone also recently sent me a personal message via my Twitter profile saying that 'someone has been 'talking' about me, and they thought I should know about it. When I wrote back and said 'who is this?'...they vanished and deleted their new Twitter Profile...weird!
Think she is reaching out...and that you are absolutely right on target about the triangulation aspect. He has been making her feel jealous...so she gives him huge amt.s of supply...she is almost 'becomeing ME'...weird to see...and clinging to him...
Don't worry...I am will remain NC...I will not be dragged into his/her drama. I think they were made for each other...but also feel bad knowing one day she is going to be utterly devastated...she clearly doesn't have the confidence or healthy perception that I had STARTED out with...(and am now trying to recover in the aftermath)
