Everyone should read

Helldwellers Post entitled "I want to share this" Its dead on. It seems alot of people think they dont feel love. I for one do think they feel love to the extent that they can but they have very limited capability.

"I'm not important to you"

Another poster here mentioned that the ex-N in her life wouldn't join her for events that were important to HER because, according to him, "I'm not important to you." The ex-Psych professor used the same da*n words! When I'd ask why he'd leave me hanging at concerts/lectures my junior year (I was also casually dating-and yes,he knew it)... he'd say "I'm not important to you" or snidely "Go be with your friends." Reminds me of an infant.. a malicious one. An infant can't understand that Mommy and Daddy have a life outside of him because he's IMMATURE. But I'm talking here about a man who's 15 years my senior(!!!) Babysitting my Dad... *ANALYZE THIS*

Yes! High school!

One day he was really opening up to me and I asked him if he had ever been in love -- He had often said that he never really loved his ex. His one "true love" -- his high school girlfriend! Stuck in boyhood!!!

Wow! Mine Too

Asked me one time if I regretting ending any of the relationships in my past and then I asked him the same. And he said, yes, one - my girlfriend I had in high school. I asked what happened and he said that he decided to break up with her when he left for college because he didn't want a long distance relationship. He said he regretted that in later years. He sounded so nice and sincere when he told that story. Then, months later, when he was devaluing me - the truth came out. When they were 19, she missed her period by a week and got scared and thought she was pregnant. He freaked out. After a week, she realized she had made a mistake and read the calendar wrong. "So I dumped the bitch for traumatizing me like that." Fucker.

I love you if...

give me everything, unconditionally and don't expect fair treatment..If you can deal with having pint sized love, then staying with a Narc is possible.

Girls, allow me to disagree.

Girls, allow me to disagree. In my opinion, it is just the kind of love of a snake swallowing down his food.

They feel ....

need, validation, obsession....their version of "love." not a normal, healthy, and ADULT version of it.

Do you remember...

Pre-teen and early teenage love? Where there was all that drama and you liked to make eachother cry cause it made you feel like you had "real love" Emotionally these N's got stuck there. They are in a time warp. They got stuck at age 12 or 13

Bingo!

This is how my exN behaved in our relationship - extremely immaturely. So high school! So much drama! And of course he would accuse me of being the "drama queen". Can you say projection?

Believe in yourself!

Oh I agree...

I think with some of them that is definitely the case. I think that is the case more with sociopaths.
