Take this quiz to
see if he is a narcissist:
1. Does he act out in verbally aggressive
behaviors, or does he have 'rages', especially if he feels he has been insulted
in some way? Does he blame 'you' or accuse you of being the one that is 'acting
out' or 'out-of-control'?
2. In the beginning was he just 'too good
to be true'?
3. Does he rely on you financially, or
does he ask you to help him fund things?
4. Does he often spend outside of his
budget?
5. Is everything always about him and
is nothing ever about you? Does he seem insensitive to your needs, unappreciative
of your input, or non-acknowledging of your accomplishments? Does he not
recognize your giving, kindness, and thoughtfulness? Does he seem genuinely
not interested in your life?
6. Is he controlling? Do you often feel
manipulated?
7. Does he show one side (Dr. Jekyll)
to the public (a perfected persona which you know is fake), and another side
(Mr. Hyde) to you in private? Does he go out of his way to impress
people?
8. Does his ego bruise easily, or is he hyper-vigilant to the slightest
insult?
9. Does he expect special treatment or feel he is 'entitled' to it?
10. Does he talk about himself more than you feel is normal?
11. Does he avoid eye contact with you, or does he withhold sex or affection?
Has he been unfaithful?
12. Does he seem to lack empathy or compassion
for others, or does he 'fake' it to enhance his 'public persona'?
13. Do you feel emotionally battered and confused?
14. Have you noticed your confidence or
self-esteem slipping?
15. Is he histrionic? In other words,
in public does he hog the limelight, putting on exaggerated shows and telling
fascinating stories of himself in order to be the center of attraction? Is
he loud or does he act like he is on stage when engaging in simple conversations
with other people?
Have You Broken Up With, or Are You
In Love With a Man That Has a 'Counterfeit Heart'?
Understand what it's like to break
up with a
histrionic
narcissist so that you
can get through the break up yet still keep your sanity (or whatever sanity
he has left you with!)
Living with, Loving and LEAVING the
Narcissist
Breaking up with a histrionic narcissist? Be prepared
for the battle of your life! While you are an emotional basket case, the
man with a narcissistic personality disorder is as Cold as Ice! While
you are left holding down the fort and dealing with the real-life
responsibilities, he walks away from everything leaving you to mop off
his stage and pay his bills. He will punish you in ways you couldn't
possibly have ever imagined...
....and not even acknowledge it to himself! Why?
Because he's off charming the socks off of new women as if your years together
didn't even exist!
And to him they didn't! The narcissist has a
'counterfeit heart'!

Oh I wish I could've spent a mere few bucks and learned all that at 18 (the
hurt I would've saved myself!!!). Read it, reread it. Feel it and live it."

Of course, you will never see this in
the beginning of the relationship with a narcissistic man. Many women do
not see any of these harmful qualities until the relationship gets serious
because both the narcissist and his prey tend to idolize people in the
beginning of relationships.
And being idolized feels good - so good that we often willingly overlook
the red flags.

know how to fake orgasm. Men know how to
fake an entire relationship. ~ Sharon

Whether or not this has happened to you, it is
still a very painful realization
when
you come to discover that you meant absolutely nothing to someone you loved
very much. The realization that this man never loved you (don't delude
yourself) hurts beyond compare. It is hard to understand that a histrionic
narcissist loves only himself, and, if anything, considered you more a
'love-rival' than a 'lover'.
Truth is, you didn't exist to the narcissist.
The man with a narcissistic personality disorder is so totally and completely
self-centered to the point of being the only person in his life - ever. You
simply were a temporary ego-boost. A narcissist supplier (an enforcer and
validator of his self-love). His mirror.
"Dear
Friend,
Nobody knows better the pain of living with, loving,
and leaving a sociopathic narcissist better than I. I have been there and
I know, first hand, how it feels to be the guiding shadow of this damaged
man. I know about the psychological, verbal, and emotional abuse. I know
about the neglect. I know how it feels to never have had him there for you
- ever.
I know what it is like
to sit there in silence and listen to him talk about himself all day
- and all night. I know what it is like to never, ever be acknowledged or
put
first.
I know what it is like
to have him dislike everything about you - from your perfume to the car
you drive to your very own
friends.
I know what to expect when
breaking up with this man. And I know the damage that can be done to the
woman that loves him and leaves
him.
And I want to share my
knowledge with you, so that you may be spared the heartache associated with
a breakup in a narcissistic-based
relationship.
If you want to read about this man ... and really
learn all about everything
you
have been through, plus get real explanations to why you feel the way you
do, then you must read on.
The secrets about him I am about to share with
you will reveal the answers to your many questions and bring you to a better
place and peace of mind.

"Narcissists become particularly shameless
during a divorce. They accuse the other spouse of neglecting the children
when the reverse is true. They hide their assets long before the formal divorce
proceedings begin. They lie about their net worth so they don't have to part
with alimony or child support. Some narcissists, both male and female, abandon
their families all together and start new lives with more attractive, adoring
and compliant partners. Leaving the previous spouse and children in a
state of financial and psychological chaos is of no consequence to them.
Many narcissists repeat these egregious patterns of behavior throughout
their lives without shame or regret." ~ Linda Martinez-Lewi Ph.D.
