Narcissist Who Loves Dogs/Animals
Narcissist Who Loves Dogs/Animals
My ex-N is over the top about dogs, in particular. In a way that is quite extreme.
He is fond of Gold Retrievers because he grew up with them as a child. When I first met him, he'd often claim that he'd give his life without a thought, for one of his dogs. He said that dogs are better than humans because they are loyal and will recline by someone's side if they were dying.
He said they were pure, loyal, and innocent and disappoint like humans did.
When one of his Goldens died a few years ago, the waterworks were completely on. He bawled out in public, in front of his friends and went on and on about how crushed he was over the dog's death. He even had certain songs he didn't like listening to much because one of them reminded him of a former dog that passed before that one.
Now my ex fits the bill of a narcissist a -great- deal, but this throws a wrench into things. How in the world can a Narc feel so much damned love over dogs if they can't have true feeling for anything or anyone?
He seemed rather broken up over the death of the dogs, so it seemed real to me. And, again, that confuses me.
And I say all of this as a dog lover myself. I've always had them, but the way he went on about them was a bit strange. even for an average dog lover. His whole family was that way (and they were all strange for a variety of reasons).
I remember asking him if he loved dogs to such an intense degree because they weren't complex like humans, that they didn't require a feedback, give and take relationship in the way humans do. He got mad and said I was trying to ruin his connection with dogs and taint it, like with everything else (he always said I was too analytical and "probing", oh and his favorite, "intense").
I told him I was just talking and trying to have a discussion but he was very vexed by me "analyzing" this and pointing this out or at least trying to figure it out.
But either way, how can a narc seemingly love animals so much and cry over their death? Is it real?
Mine loved dogs.hated cats.
I WISH he treated me like his dog.
