schwartznegger - what a pig and narcissist

Wow, just finished watching an interview of Arnold Schwartznegger on 60 minutes where he talks about how he cheated on Maria Shriver. That woman is smart, beautiful, and had a great career - which she gave up for that POS. She defended him with her heart and soul, and look how he repaid her: he f-ed the housekeeper, fathered a child, and kept living a lie.
When I look at Maria and how she was tricked by a N with no soul, somehow I feel a little less stupid for getting duped by my own N. I mean, if someone as smart, beautiful and successful as her could be fooled by the lies and deceit of a N, then guess I'm not so bad, right?
I feel terrible for Maria - I don't know her, but can have an idea of how much pain she must have suffered. At least my suffering hasn't been documented for everyone else to see.
No matter who you are -rich, poor; educated or not; fabulous career or everyday person - ANYONE can be tricked by a Narc. Thank goodness for this blog and to all those who have been burned, and spoken out, about what happened.
Hugs to you all. What didn't kill us - does in fact make us stronger, wiser, and more compassionate for those who also have been hurt.
