Please give me a swift kick in the ass!!!!!!!!!!

Please!
Okay, I have been on the right track since joinging this site, and even today, I haven't done anything too, too bad. I will be one month NC on Valentines Day. BUT, I made the mistake of checking out his FB page. The thing that I just don't get is these OWs. I mean, I was an OW too but how long will it take for him to D&D them? It seems like they have been around forever (of course I didn't understand their connection when he was "mine"), commenting on his every update, "liking" his every move.

I know I shouldn't give a shit, but sadly/strangely I do. I'd like to see some new supply surfacing so I know it wasn't about me but to see him keeping the others in his life makes me ...well... upset.

I have said in the past that he got rid of me because I was smarter than the others, and stronger too. I guess I'll need to keep telling myself that - right or wrong. It's the only thing that pacifies me when it comes to the OW.

Please go easy on me. Contact = Pain, I know. Today I couldn't resist the temptation to take a look. Yuck.

Stop it! Block!

Stop it! Block! Delete! You've essentially taken the whip from the narcissist's hand and are now administering the lashings to yourself. Why? As badly as they've treated us, there comes a point where our health and happiness is in our OWN hands now. If you continue to torture yourself, it is not the narc anymore, it is you. It is you doing his bidding by still inflicting pain upon yourself, long after the sadistic scumbag has gone. Stop it now and begin healing. Block his FB profile and be DONE with it. D.

Please remember, the reason

Please remember, the reason narcs discard is not personal. Being too smart, strong, not strong enough, too caring, too loving, not giving them enough adoration, boredom, impulse, another conquest in their sights, a fickle mind that is constantly changing, no thoughts about consequences, self serving agendas, caring only about what they want in the moment, us wanting something reciprocal with them, having needs and wanting him to meet them, us having needs at all, us paying more attention to someone or something else... these are reason all enough for a narc to discard. WE HAVE LITTLE (if anything) TO DO WITH IT!!! Those on FB who you see, he just hasn't had reason to discard them, but that does NOT mean they are valuable to him as people at all - only for the supply their attention gives him. From what I've seen from my exN, he will keep anyone in his life on the surface, but that does not mean he cares if they are there or not. He might notice when they stop giving him supply, but he just finds another who will. It does not make him stop taking whatever he might still be able to get from the others though. They only fully discard those that ask anything of them on an emotional level - that is when they HAVE to cut people off because it inconveniences them to have any expectations put upon them in that way AND it reminds them that they are void empty disordered narcs which ruins their self image that they desperately have to hold onto - which is what drives them to find supply in the first place. Supply sources that wises up to them, do stop giving it. I have witnessed this with my exN. But those that haven't had to wise up, who aren't as emotionally invested in the narc, don't know any better and continue to feed the beast. It does NOT mean he treats them differently, he just doesn't need to discard them because on the shallow level of FB virtual relationships, it can remain acceptable to them both. Journey on...

Journey on...

Block both his fb page and

Block both his fb page and hers.... Yes it's easy to reverse the block, but by the time you go thru the trouble to reverse it when you get the urge...you will smack yourself in the face and hopefully stop.... Everyone in his entire circle is blocked so I never get the urge to look.... Looking is contact...which = pain!!! Block everything...it helps!!

ow

Help me heal, I really do believe they treat all women, basically the same. When I talked to the ow ( been on and off for 10 years with narc). She said he disappears on her, recieves calls and texts which he won't tell her who it is, or lies to her about who it is, lies to her about many things, has had different women, tells her he's working late, but not at work etc..... Her trade off is he pays the bills, buys her diamonds etc... But he treats her the way, he started to treat me after the honeymoon period. The difference I didn't know what a narc was then, but I knew I could not be in that type relationship. No amount of material things can take the place of honesty and truth. She'll experience the same treatment and if she stays it because she doesn't know her value. The exn and other woman has pics of them together on fb, they're laughing, but it's just an image. Be glad you move on, it will get better.

Falling Forward...

Thank you for that specific example. I do deep down believe he's treating them the same way he treated me after the honeymoon, but because they are uneducated on NPD they keep taking him back hoping for change. Thankfully I stumbled into information that I so desperately needed to know. Such a blessing.

You know......

one of the ladies, had a post on here about the same thing. Her example was (if I remember rite), that her narc and her had a terrible fight, I think it may have gotten a little physical. She said the very next day, they had went out and posted some pics on fb of them laughing and having a great time. I'll look for it. It was a eye opener to me, it's all about an image, that's all.

I had a profile pic on my

I had a profile pic on my facebook for ages of one of me and the exnarc smiling, his arm around me on holiday. We look the picture of happiness, but what it doesnt show is the massive argument we had 2 hours before about how he never commented on how i looked when i got dressed up to go out (never told me i looked pretty, etc) which followd into the bar where i was crying at the table and all he could do was say shall we go back to the room, u can go to bed, i dont mind sitting out on the balcony, but then i dont really want to cos i cant have a drink!!!!!) i then gave into him and stopped out. Thats when the photo was took. He never learnt from this and continued to never tell me i looked nice/pretty, even tho he is now with an OW who looks like a horse! before i went NC he posted a pic of him and his OW in exactly the same pose on hol! i sometimes think about it and i dont feel sadness anymore, i just think that woman could be anyone, shes not special or better than me, shes jus massaging his ego at this moment in time! lol!!!!! so a picture on fb doesnt mean anything.xxxx

I need a kick too

I just picture him and her having a grand ole time and me sitting her seething with anger and annoyance. I know the thing is he is just putting he on a pedestal now so that he can drop her off that pedestal real fast. and yes I try not to let it bother me. but it does bother me too..i wish i could say more, but in the end I guess we are all OW and he will treat us all the same, so don't think less of yourself. she will get the same devaluation anyways..it's just in time..

Tap on the shoulder

HelpmeHeal.....block him on FB so you can't look. Thank God mine hated FB but the OW did not so I had to block her and still have trouble resisting people that know her. As for the OW figuring this out or getting D&D....I have a friend who divorced a raging NPD several years ago. He is very well known and successful in the music industry. He is like a FB Narc Blood Sucker and receives about 40 comments on every little inane asshole thing he posts. At one point, he went off of FB because he said "it took too much time away from his writing". LOL That didn't last long because he could not get his groupie fix (both male and female) Social Networking is not "real" Neither are your Narcs "relationships" You deserve REAL To answer your question, I don't think he will D&D them as long as they meet a need and don't cause him a problem. BLOCK HIM TODAY You will get better at this as you get sick of sticking your finger in the same ole fire because, let's face it, it hurts!

Other woman? Oh ladies, there

Other woman? Oh ladies, there are more than one. That's how I started catching on. He was confusing us. There are a few in his rotation. He slipped up during conversation or sent a text or two that didn't seem intended for me. My radar went up and I started to become a problem. Of course when I told him I was on to him and all set with being a participant, he won me back and ensured he'd be the one to say the final goodbye! Argh! One OW or a million, you all are right. Stop looking. Who cares. He can spend his days lurking on FB. I have better things to do with my time. Like write to you guys. Hahaha!!!

So, they really leave us

So, they really leave us alone when they know we won't believe anymore lies and are smarter? I made it clear to mine that I knew but he still contacted me recently like nothing happened asking for a date? I'm confused.

Sparrow advised me that they let us go when they are good and done with us and that it has nothing to do with how smart or strong we are. I guess I just tell myself to make myself feel better. In my situation, the bottom-line was I was pushing back on him, and he had ample supply so no longer needed me in the rotation. Sorry to confuse you. :)

You'll be surprise and amazed

how much better you'll feel when you block him and all his minions on FB or just get off of FB altogether. I deactivated my account last week and I have felt immense relief ever since, even happiness! Sure, I was already NC with him for about 4 months and stopped looked at his page, but still, with all our mutual acquaintences, I would still be reminded of his existence on FB now and then, and each time would be a small kick in the gut. I actually have space in my head for more of my own interests and goals. It's a little weird to feel so disconnected from everyone, but it feels really good at the same time.
