anyone got some feedback on this?

I'm still working through a few things in my recovery and am trying to understand one thing. I got the worst D&D of the entire 9 years after I finally called the narc out on ALL of his lies, deceptions and secrets from the entire relationship, but mostly the last few years. At first, I think the narc was truly shocked that 1)I had actually learned about all of this from snooping on his FB account and 2) that I would actually throw it in his face.

Over time, it seemed to sink in and he just got more and more angry and mean - leading to a total D&D and thankfully NC. My question is this: Why would he get so angry at ME for learning the truth? I think I know the answer to this question but it makes NO SENSE to me at all. If anyone is entitled to intense anger - wouldn't that be ME?

Did anyone else here experience the narc's rage after finally discovering the ugly truth and throwing it up to the narc?

I'm not even sure why I'm

I'm not even sure why I'm questioning this. I see my therapist about once a month now and this came up in yesterday's session. Knowing that he's been hoovering me, she is concerned that I'm going to cave and she wants to disect what happened in the end so I have a better understanding of how I allow myself to "get played" by him. The thing that she wants me to delve into about myself is why I stayed with him all those years even after I had solid enough evidence of his lying. That's a tough question that we are all trying to understand - as I think we all stay after we know the truth about the narc. I told her about my snooping into his email and his Facebook account over the last 12 months and how guilty I feel about that. I really feel bad about myself because that is something I ordinarily would NEVER do! In the end, I thought "what the Hell!" I want him to KNOW FOR SURE that he's been caught red-handed in his secrecy and deceit so I told him exactly every lie that I now knew about and how I knew. I think what finally made ME explode was his ranting and raving about how untrustworthy I was and how unbelievable it was that I would sink so low as to "illegally" break into his private communications. I've struggled with this mostly over the last several months because I'm not proud of doing this. But you finally get to a point where you just have to know the TRUTH and will do anything to finally KNOW instead of always guessing and worrying. The uncertainty surrounding a relationship with a narc becomes unbearable. I told my therapist that I've actually forgotten what emotional security and stability in an intimate relationship feels like. I'm so tired of being angry and hurt but I'm working hard to feel entitled to do whatever it takes to finally know what the truth of any relationship in my life. I honestly feel like I had every right to cross the boundaries of integrity to fully understand how my boundaries were being knowingly violated by the narc!

I too did things that i would never do in a normal relationship but there is something about these abnormal men that almost forces you to be sneaky and underhanded to either find the truth or get back at them for the damages they have done to us.I remember once apologizing to the EXNarc for showing up with his ex wife when she dropped off the kids to him and in reality that is not something so bad, but he never once acknowledged to me all the hurt and pain he caused me. I will never forget when apologizing and crying he said nothing to me nor showed any physical compassion like saying,'' come here or put his arms around me, nothing.These men will never own up to do anything wrong never.Every time i spoke to him about my never doing enough for me, when i always did, he stared ahead and did not look me in the eyes.

Also, I have to add that when

Also, I have to add that when I confronted him with the truth, his response was very weirdly detached. He didn't deny the lies but he didn't own that he had told these lies either. Actually, looking back, it was as if he was trying to stay calm and avoid having any response at all. Eventually he said "I'm a good and honorable man"

He was caught mask ripped off!

Mines does that silent crap too. Because he doesn't know what to say. He tried to use backwards talk to confuse you and program you to think he is an honorable man. Think of it like this terri say you were in a car accident (knock on wood you're not) and the driver who is in the wrong gets out and says "I'm an honorable man I did nothing wrong you shouldn't have went when the light turned green". You're gonna think this guy is a looney tune , right? Think of the N like this he is crazy and unstable.

Hi Terri

All the other women before me said it all, my 15 year relationship crumbled with horrible rage and anger at me after I innocently wrote a letter asking why the relationship is so out of balance and what about my wants and needs as well as his. that was it, 15 years up in smoke and here was a man who could not wait for em to come and visit him,he had moved out of state and we were talking about moving together once I sold my place. I am convinced he felt I was on to HIM, and that i had discovered the man behind the nice mask. Surer we should be angry but they do not care about HOW WE FEEL, right. Plus all the names he called me, whore slut, offering free sex on Craigslist, first come, first served, insane isn't it, he probably felt like the emperor's new clothes, about to be exposed for the real ogre he is.............

Yep, happened to me

Like Swan said they can't handle the truth and it's projection. I also read with abusers they'd rather end the relationship than face the truth that they are abusers. Narcs think they're perfect and cannot be wrong. Even the rare times my exN apologized it did not seem sincere. It seemed like manipulation.

Oh yeah, confront a narc on

Oh yeah, confront a narc on THEIR behaviour and LOOK OUT for the narc rage. Been there, done that. Of course he is angry with YOU....you `found him out` and unmasked him. His games and lies can`t work on you anymore. How dare someone question the Almighty Narc....that`s how they think. It`s all about them. They are a joke, really.

Dude tried to rage on me but.....

When it comes to someone trying to make me look like a fool I will meet him halfway with the rage! Thats when the jacka$$ will go into victim mode or runaway . He tried this last week I said if you don't explain this crap then I will make a scene ! He then tells me a bunch of bull that didn't do anything but make me feel worse but then I had to think about the way he was acting the days before like he was two different people right before my eyes. So I chalked it up to he is a loon and i'm better without his a$$! Somedays are better than others but this site really helps me get out the frustration, confusion, anger, and sadness. Thanks everyone .

narc's secrets

Yup, I got the rage every time I nailed him on something. Its projection. Narcs turn it all around on us because they can't handle the cold hard truth of how despicable they are.
