A new rude and mean Narc behavior, and I am getting it now....

From the man who used to love discussing everything with me and hearing my input on everything because I was "the best woman in the world." The new rude thing is whenever I say something, he cuts me off and says, "Yeah, we've discussed this before so let's not even go there." I am cut off and dismissed. So of course I say, "Just because I am going over something we've discussed doesn't mean you have to say that, it's rather mean." Then he says another mean thing or whatever. It sounds like he can barely tolerate even listening to me. I usually hang up and start crying, and it just happened again.

I guess this is what the whole thing is, right? They love you to death, and you are the best thing ever, and then at some point, and you don't know when or why because you didn't do anything, you are nothing but an annoyance, or they talk to you as such.

Any similar experiences, etc or hopeful comments will be welcomed...I am def feeling I am in the D&D, except I am sort of ending it in my own way.

His comments to you

Guess what, the rude comments he makes are how he feels about you and everyone else he comes into contact with. No one is worth his time unless they are "admiring" them. He will listen to you if it means you are admiring him. He will dis you if it mean you are admiring him. He will cuss you out, if it means you are admiring him. They, the NARCS do not admire anyone. They have a mental disorder. They have a personality disorder, to want to be the one admired at all times, at all costs. If they cannot get it from higher ups, they will get it from somewhere else. If they cannot get it from their family, they will get it at work. If they cannot get it from work, they will get it from a stranger. They are crap all the way. They do not want a relationship with you, or anyone else.

Rude & mean

My former N, who is a co-worker (although I pray every day he will spontaneously combust and all that will be left is a pile of ashes in his cubicle), used to talk to me in long lectures and check his watch periodically while he was talking, or glance at his watch while I was talking. One time, he was sitting in my cubicle on my desk bitching about another doctor and saying the other doctor was going to go home in ten minutes, was just talking away (about himself, things he'd done, etc, as usual), and then checked THE CLOCK up on the wall - he had to half turn in order to do this - then left because now the other doctor was gone and the N could back to his cubicle. I might as well have been a mannikin or a blow-up doll. I was trying really hard today to think of him as someone who is 6-years old and has a learning disability. It actually makes sense. Too bad he's so mean and rude, though. Sometimes I think that's part of the crazy-making: wild swings from charm, warmth and apparent affection to rude, cold and very real cruelty.

This person sounds rude, too. Sorry you had to ever be in the presence of this person. So thankful to learned what I have learned so I can ignore all this crap now and laugh instead of being upset. I feel quite blindsided by it all, to be honest. And I think I am becoming more angry that hurt, at this point.

Im probably gonna get in trouble with this one and it is only my opinion but a supposedly hetrosexual man cross dressing is not normal. There are some sexual issues there big time. This man does go out and dress up like a woman for the fun of it. Im not buying it. Be thankful he's gone. He is someone elses wacked out problem.

I think you should be grateful that he is still with his wife and i think you ae getting the picture loud and clear, Cross dressing is not for everyone,me that would be a deal breaker, and is too freaky, but like I say, we are all different, my hunch is his wife takes it because she is tied to him now with the kids and all and may be too scared to venture forth on her own, there are many women out there like that. His absolute and disgusting rudeness while you are on the phone talking is unexcusable, plain and simple, but hey we are all OBJECTS and haven't we all walked away from our toaster, did you read that post, it will be in my mind foevever more,ha.................

If I may, I'd like to make your point a little clearer... I think you should be grateful that he is still with his wife and i think you ae getting the picture loud and clear, Cross dressing is not for everyone,me that would be a deal breaker, and is too freaky, but like I say, we are all different, my hunch is his wife takes it because she is tied to him now with the kids and all and may be too scared to venture forth on her own, there are many women out there like that. That's not quite it. What's missing from the equation is the aknowledgement that if this dude is a narc, she's not stayin cause they have kids...she's staying because she is abused, and probably trauma bonded? What is this twisted thinking going on here? Somehow the Madonna has all this better treatment? Personally, I don't believe in the Madonna Whore theory...it's something that makes us feel good to think we could be thought of as one or the other dependin upon your fancy. Madonna or whore to these guys, you are shit and you get treated like shit. So, why are we figuring out why the wife tolerates it? And why aren't warning GONGS going off that the dude likes to cross dress? I need re-direction... Oh, I'm sure if you asked her, and promised her you'd take him away...she'd pack for him and give you travel fare... The fantasy they weave for us is intoxicating... Until it becomes suffocating.

None of us really know the real reason the wife is staying with the Narc cross/dresser,it may be she has been brainwashed, abused, has the children to take care of and doesn't "want to go it alone'', in any event, it is a darn good thing for stillhurting that the guy did not divorce his wife and she get even more involved with a nut job.As for cross dressing,I am a live and let live person, if that is his sexual fetish. I will not pass judgment but it would not be for me and who knows he may have gender issues, that is not for me to say. My thoughts are still out on the Madanno.Whore theory but I think they may very well judge women on that level, have to do more research.my thoughts..................all I do know is that they have a very skewed version of women and I think it is a large part thanks to mommy and maybe daddy too and his involvement or lack therof.

For Michelle

I can say I have no idea about this messed up relationship Narc has with wife, and I only wish I never got involved with any of this. Never again. He was so awesome to me that I fell in love with him, married or not, and believed his tale of woe, which, by the way he does't recall telling me it was so bad there at all. That got me going. He does not remember telling me how bad things were between them? So bad that he wanted a girlfriend so he would feel of some value? How can he not remember saying this stuff to me? Anyway, romantic and trusting me bought into it all. Boy, have I paid the price! Not sure why they stay together really. I only know he doesn't want to lose his kids, and she has some connections legally where she would do a number on him, and I do believe that, and others have told me the same. He stays out of the house most of the time, and they are rarely there together except for events with the kids and family. That is how she puts up with it all. They both go off and do their own things. I would not want a marriage like that, personally. I am sure if we ever got to a point where we lived together or anything, the same thing would happen. Oh well, if he is happy dressing and found a safe haven in which to do it, and she is cool with it, then good for him and her. I am not cool with it, and now I know all this stuff and don't want to proceed with any further relationship, etc. Actually, I am feeling okay most days. I know there is nothing more, and I am dealing with someone who is not well. Now that I know I can process things and respond in a different manner. I never thought I did anything, and now I know it for sure. Thanks for your input!

Been there, done that have the tee shirt

I can say I have no idea about this messed up relationship Narc has with wife, and I only wish I never got involved with any of this. 1. The only thing you know about this "messed-up" relationship is what he's told you. It's about the supply...she may be trauma bonded, she may be brain damaged or they have an arrangement. In the end, it comes down to supply... He was so awesome to me that I fell in love with him, married or not, and believed his tale of woe, which, by the way he does't recall telling me it was so bad there at all. 2. He remembers it well but it's your job to take the blame for the D&D you deserve...this is how they operate...there are no rules there is no conscious...we were their drug. His addiction was to himself. Narcs are pathological liars...comes with the territory and they are MASTER MANIPULATORS... I only know he doesn't want to lose his kids, and she has some connections legally where she would do a number on him, and I do believe that, and others have told me the same. 3. You can believe what you're told and yea, she might have his nuts in her hands, BUT..don't kid yourself about the "kids" read the post on kids on the first page...WIFE, KIDS, DOGS, HOUSE...whateva...all part of the "image" they desperately want to appear "normal"...part of the craftsmanship of the Illusion.... He stays out of the house most of the time, and they are rarely there together except for events with the kids and family. That is how she puts up with it all. They both go off and do their own things. I would not want a marriage like that, personally. I am sure if we ever got to a point where we lived together or anything, the same thing would happen. -You're right you wouldn't want that kind of life... But in the end, you will come out on top...he never will. Rest easy on that - but stay committed to really really working on YOU. Hugs...

Thanks, Michelle!

Great comments and introspect! Yes, I see the image that has been created over there. He loves all of the accessories that come with the marriage, and I have told him so. Perfect picture painted for the outside, all lies and deception in the house. I am working on me and doing great, so glad I know what it is now that has been happening and why! It is so freeing. I will not get involved in another person's personal life and problems like this ever again for sure. Thanks!

See my post for you under Barbies and Boundaries today. Also, I can't find your story..yours sounds abit like mine with work involved. Can you tell me where your story is? You can find mine too. I know all of this is so darn confusing. They brainwash us and it is hard to see straight and think logically. I thought I had found the love of my life for my entire adult life, but every friend or therapist I talk to sees right through him. It takes awhile to pull away, let the fog life; have the brainwashing stop and then you can see them for what they really are. Best of luck to you!

To loveofmylife

When I first put my story up, I could not find it ever gain. I had to write to admin and ask what happened to it. I will look again. There is a work tie in, but I am going to leave soon. It does not involve that much contact at all because it is different locations we are in, but it still means I would have to have contact here and there. Trying to figure out, income-wise, when the best time to leave might be.

Onwithmylife....

I am grateful as heck he stays with her. It was something I really wanted to do, be with him, but things work out as they are meant to, and this was not meant to work out at all. I also find the dressing thing very strange. I know he loves all the attention, but there has to be some element about the women's clothing. I don't think it is to have sex with men, but I think he loves putting the clothes on. Either way, it hits me in a bad way. I have many gay friends, even some that are married couples. I know two people who had a sex change. I do not hate people that do this, I accept them 100% and think it is great that they live their life on their own terms. However, when it is a person close to you, I think it is a different. I am sometimes upset with myself that I am not being accepting of this, but I don't want to see this man change into someone else. It is just upsetting to me, plain and simple. These others that are supporting him in this don't know him all that well. Not sure why his wife is okay with it, and that makes me think there is more to the story. Why did the guy on FB write to me and say "his wife knows about it and is okay with, and she has a boyfriend herself." When I asked Narc about all of this upsetting stuff, he said the guy who said it a nut and liar. He has no idea why the guy thinks his wife has a boyfriend. I am wondering if she is accepting of the dressing up, and she was told very recently, that it indicates there is some type of understanding between the two of them. She is employed and self sufficient, and she has a big circle of family and relatives. She is not stuck by any means. He told me they both made an agreement a long time ago that if they had kids there would be no breaking up the marriage. Hey, that's the deal they have, and good for them. This whole thing has taken up so much time and energy from my life. Imagine if I had devoted this to someone really worthwhile? Too bad, I did not. Oh well.... onward and upward!

The difference is honesty and respect

My ex-Narc boss had a thing for drag queens. He talked about being an antique show, and telling a woman who planned on burning her wedding dress (she had been widowed recently) to donate it to a drag queen. He had a human sense of humor about HIMSELF... and he was OPENLY gay. Was he a Narc? Yes. Micromanager? Yes. Terrible boss? Yes. But he NEVER pretended to be straight. He'd pal around with women... but it was clear to them he didn't intend it romantically. He was honest and respectful enough to be out of the closet. The ex-Psych professor,on the other hand, condemned homosexuality virulently, hated my gay friends, and would say "I'm not gay! I'm normal!" Whatever happened between him and the openly gay professor must've been very, very personal... because the gay professor warned me against him. The gay professor would say "Don't listen to him. He's not respecting you." It was a gay professor who taught me some important lessons, who showed me the way out. If it had not been for that gay professor, I would've probably married the ex-P, or at least had gotten romantically entangled with him. He didn't want to see me destroy myself that way. The ex-P presented himself as straight and butch... but he found homosexuality endlessly fascinating. Didn't help that he had few male friends his own age and palled around with a circle of male students young enough to be his sons.

Just wanted to back up what some other ladies here said, too: they are angry, angry, unhappy people. They loathe you for loving them, loath you because you CAN love, loathe you because you didn't make their lives perfect, loathe you because you are human, loathe you becuase you try to understand them, loathe you because no one can understand them, loathe you because people love you, loathe you because you are happy, loathe you because you are sad, loathe you because you can communicate with people, etc etc etc. My narc HATED my ex husband. My ex used to chat with him at the coffee place, and the narc used to call him "my buddy"--amazed that they got along. He hated my ex, because my ex took the high road and talked to him, talked about our daughters, knew about politics and the courts and chatted about the narc's work. The narc wanted my ex to hate him, wanted my ex to get in the way of our relationship, wanted trouble, drama, chaos. For the last entire year, my ex was nowhere to be seen, but the narc would say things like, "When you get over your husband, call me" or "have a great night with your husband" when I'd ask him if he wanted to go to dinner or come over. He hated the fact that I'd been married, that I had children. He DESPISED my children. In fact, I realized later on that I was the only woman he'd ever dated who had been married before or who had children. Realized that the only people he allowed around his foster child were people who did not have children--who didn't really know what they were doing, you know? I was the only parent he knew and the only person who could not babysit his child. He told both of his brothers to get divorced, told his younger brother to stay away from his ex wife when he wanted to see her again, told him not to have a baby with her, told his best friend to divorce his wife, told another friend not to marry his longtime girlfriend, and finally told me to abort our own baby. He absolutely hated bonds of any kind that didn't have to do with him. AND he hated bonds that he realized DID have to do with him! Angry, rageful, bitter, jealous f*cked up sons of b*tches!

Would NOT talk to me on the phone or stop by for the last year at least. Texting only, and we lived next door to each other. Madness. Also, we went out for this lovely dinner a couple of years ago already. His brother's girlfriend offered to babysit becuas we hadn't been out in months. So we sat down to dinner and he was already agitated. I said, "They say it's going to snow about a foot tonight." He sighed, rolled his eyes, and said: "You're not going to be talking a lot tonight are you, honey?" Yeah, feels sooooo good, doesn't it?

I think they prefer texting because when they are done "talking" to you, they just stop. There is no having to make an excuse to get off the phone. Mine always said he hated texting, but that was the only way he would communicate with me near the end.

If the ex-P were technically adept...

He would've texted. My ex-Narc boss would refer to the mail he got at work as "hate mail",and joke about how he had knives in his back. My ex-Psych professor was downright paranoid about the mail he received at work;it's one task of the day he dreaded. I think it's because with snail mail... it can DEFINITELY be one-sided and out of his control. I don't think he minded getting mail at his apartment... but getting mail at the college was something he was scared of. He was scared of being embarrassed, and when you're at the college mail room, you're getting mail in front of your colleagues and students.

Hopefully from here you will see that this is quite usual, but nonetheless upsetting and disturbing. Mine used to call me in the middle of the night, we would be on the phone for hours. Then after the D&D ... I once asked hime "What's new?" and he shouted "Don't ask me that, its f... BORING!" ... and that was that ... rage, rage, rage. He even said "Can you wait there a minute, I need to get something ,," then went away from the phone, and I could hear him shouting "BORING BORING" then came back like nothing had happened. Infrequently, he would even say "I know you're upset, I can hear you are crying" (even though I was trying to hide it. The question is - why did he continue to be nasty even though he KNEW that? Because he enjoyed hurting me? And why did it take me so long to hang up the phone ?! There are lots of posts on phone control on here, I found them invaluable. The one thing I learned was that if he called, I could tell within five seconds whether he was going to be ok or not. Sometimes he would be very chatty (obviously when talking about himself), others he would be very flat and that would always, always, always end in the scenario you describe. "Don't go there", "Don't ask me that ..because I don't need your opinion" etc. Humiliating. I am glad you are ending it in your own way x

I remember one time over the summer, we were having one of our many WWIII's after I busted him with the other WOMAN, I have to put that in caps cause there was a man too...hehehehe... Well, we're arguing on the phone and out of nowhere he says "Oh Shit!!" See what you made me do I have a flood! I'll call you later!" Bam slams the phone down... He calls me much later and talks about the flood - and I'm like do you see how you blame me for EVERYTHING!! Yes, narc, I told your dumbass to turn on the water and go yap it up on the phone... Everything is everyone elses fault...they don't even have to be in proximity. I am sure he's somewhere today constipated and it's my fault. I blocked his bowels!...

Everyone has said it ALL, we are all in this together, I have been close to 2 years out from a 15 ear relationships and just a few months ago started feeling like normal, up till then i was still hurting big time over the man i use to love so dearly and gave my all to him. these men are not who they appear to be, inside them is a MONSTER and I am not talking about from a children's book either, a real ugly, angry, rageful man who hates himself and detests anyone who would dare love such a loser, as himself, and he knows deeep down he is ONE. Like everyone said, his sickness is not about you and the sooner you go no contact, the faster you will be to heal, One of the reasons my recovery took so long was I still kept writing him letters thinking and hoping he would change. My psychology friend at work said he will never change, the focus should be on ME and never to let anyone trample over me again and to develope better boundaries. Hang in there, this too shall pass with hard work on your part. Read the post about the toaster, that is what we are to these sickos!!!
