The spell has worn off. I've been de-programming myself to see him as evil and a waste. It wasn't real. It was an act.

For the first time in three years I am moving on with my life, but there is still such a sadness I feel in my heart, could it be I am mourning the loss of an act I fell so deeply in love with that someone put on for me? Maybe I am feeling sad because of the simple fact I wanted the act to be real and it never will be. I miss his charm, I miss his wit, I miss all the flattery making me feel like I was the woman of his dreams and the feeling was mutual until of course he quit acting. Then it turned to shit and sick sick abuse and perversion. I stop and tell myself, Do you miss that Cynthia? Because that is what it will always be with him.

Who ever he is maintaining his erection for now and giving all his empty promises to will be where I am one day, when she comes out of the deep spell she too will know it was all an act. I pity those he has managed to brainwash into doing ALL the sick sexual acts he asked me to do, I never did them, and even if I did them he would have still discarded me in the long run as he will them. So I keep plugging away with NC with days I feel such a sadness, the relationship was always destined to fail that is the reality of it all

The sadness will give way to anger....and THAT'S when the healing will begin. I'm STILL amazed at what a good actor he was. I was led to believe I was the most important person in the world. HA. The anger will then turn into acceptance. Acceptance is when you start seeing clearly again. Remember it was ALL an act....that helps. If it seems too good to be true....it usually is. Normal guys don't act like this. The normal pursuit is usually give and take and a bonafide relationship takes time to grow and flourish. The N is prepping us for the emotional abuse from the get go. They replace kindness with cruelty. It's all calculated from the first time they meet you. They sum you up from the first handshake. They are a sick lot. Grieve, but don't let it overtake your life. He wasted your time. You fell in love with an illusion as we all did. That's part of the con. My N thought I had money. When he found out I didn't, that's when the discarding began. See it as a lesson. I am. I will never be that trusting or open. Real relationships will grow and thrive and can't be rushed. He mirrored the image of what he knew you wanted. It was all fabricated. Remember that and you won't be sad. I miss mine from time to time, but then I snap out of it. See it as fake. You deserve better. We all do.

question

If its all just an act, surely their live in GF after so many years can see how their relationship changed with them too, but yet these GF stay with them living with them sharing a life with them is it just because they dont see thru the act or because they know what he is and as long as they can accept it they stay? Some dont discard the GF , and some do after many many many years. I think they hide their life from their GF and want to keep her around to do laundry and cook and care for his needs and if they can get by fooling her they will keep her as long as they can. Can you imagine if he wasnt excited with me sexually after a few times, can you imagine how sick of her he is after 8 years? Well like all the other woman say, the sex life was awful, maybe once a month or two and only because they HAD to to keep them around. There is my dream that is what I would have walked into same thing she has to put up with he would spent himself sexually on everyother woman but me. I think they still have to keep up the act that they love their GF they do that to make them look normal and it hides their other life too. I am glad I finally ended it two months ago, the filthy things he said to me I would cry after I hung up, I dont do that anymore must have been a big blow to his ego, he thought I would stick around forever and be impressed with his mill home, and boat and his exp toys turning down trips to exotic places to have orgies with him ***** star hotels, NO THANKS I am a person that needs to like the person I am with not the materials he owns. I am in so much less pain now that he is out of my life, and I gave up a full blown psychopath.

I was the live in GF for 7 yrs

I was definitely part of his "pretend act" to come across as a normal man. He didn't have much time for us but if his uncle & cousins were going camping, he wanted the kids & I to go so he could appear "normal" by being their with his "family" too. Even though I didn't know what narcissism was, I knew he wasn't normal! The "acting" was so obvious! He was especially nice to me & the kids in front of other people. The bitchin he did on our way to a party came to a screechin halt the minute we arrived, only to start right back the minute we got back in the truck. I am missing that worthless bastard for some reason. Maybe cos it's Spring, who knows. Our dd is playing baseball for the first time (a sport he likes & is good at) & I'd like to let him know she's good like him (but I'm not). ACCEPTANCE of knowing they never loved us is soo hard to swallow. I had a dream last nite that I met a strange man that was hitch hiking. I had a nice car but I abandoned it & started hitchiking with him. I remember when we'd stop at places to eat, I always paid for our food. I didn't like this man, something wasn't right about him but for some reason, I couldn't leave him. I knew if i woke up from my dream, I'd be free of him but I wasn't sure I wanted to let him go. Sounds like my relationship with the narc...

in the dream you said you knew IF you ~WOKE UP~you'd be free of him,right?Well,think about it! WAKE UP! LOOK AT THE REALITY of what you are missing-do you really miss the real man? I'd bet NOT! you'll be free of him when you wake up-meaning-when you realize that you aren't really missing him at all............

I guess I need to ask myself the same question I asked my 6 yr old when she was cryin for the narc. I asked her, Baby, what exactly is it that you miss about Daddy? She couldn't come up with a single thing. Even when he was here, he still "wasn't here". His mind was somewhere else. He worked out of town all week & when he came home on the weekends, he always had some errand to run or some buddy to help out. We had very little time with him, it was always about him...

Eyes now wide open

They are consummate liars. I wasted 30 years in a marriage and now am left with nothing. He left with all the cash (almost $300,000) and I am left with all the bills and supporting 6 people. I am working with a lawyer, but the house is worth that much, so I may not end up getting any back. I am supporting a daughter and her children (one a baby with heart defects so my daughter needs to take care of her and can't work) and another daughter also who is suffering from depression and many scars from her dad and has tried to kill herself twice and just got arrested, mutual domestic violence, her b/f psycho woke her up because he had snooped on her phone and found a text, he hit her, she hit back, they both got arrested. I am lucky that I have some very supportive family who have stood by me, 2 wonderful brothers, and some good friends, several of whom have had N spouses as well. Mine was SUCH a good liar, he showed no signs whatsover of lying, would stare at you with good eye contact, not the least flinch or least sign in his body language, and look and act SO SINCERE! GAG! But, I was seeing tons of red flags and he would be up until all hours on the computer, saying he was working on "stock charts" and trying to make money. Yeah right. So, I put a program on the computer that records all IM's, chats, keystrokes, websites visited, e-mails opened and written. I could legally do this since it was community property, and I owned the computer as well. You just could not believe all the deviousness and deceptiveness and the depravity! I don't think I will ever be the same. He was on 10 dating sites (including some that were explicitly for sex, Ashley Madison, sex in your city, cheating wives, etc.) some yahoo groups for some sexual perversions he was into (I won't gross you out here), multiple women he had internex sex with, and 3 women locally he saw regularly! He was retired and I was the one working full time. This is what he did with all his free time and MY money! He said absolutely horrible things about me, what a cold fish I am, how perverted I am, how I won't have sex with him but see younger guys that I have sex with! All to get sympathy! (None is true!) At some point I am thinking of seeing if the cyberpaths web site would be interested in seeing 6 months of his activity! He is the ultimate con man! He would buy groceries and charge "visa gift cards" with it, so when I paid the bill I just saw a bill to the grocery store, and he would use the gift cards to buy gifts or to pay hookers! They are extremely devious and SICK SICK SICK. I am sure I am suffering PTSD and I feel numb much of the time. Even getting upset writing this and reliving it, I still feel numb. And...he is on his merry way with the money and lining up more victims. I just have to keep up the journaling and reminding myself how lucky I am to see the truth and be free!

my story

Every time I start to try to write it out, I fall apart! Still after being separated since June! I have started a document in Word that I try to edit to get it all down, it is still in progress. Our whole family (my daughters, me) are suffering because of this A@@hole! I think I need to get on some medication (have resisted but think I need it!) and get a better counselor first!! What I can say absolutely certainly, is that if the mask slips and you REALLY SEE THEM (I have because of putting the program on his computer) you will be forever sickened by them and there is absolutely NO desire to EVER be involved again, so if anyone out there wonders, don't hesitate to investigate!! A good blog was on the cyberpaths about this, that they try to turn it around on you if you investigate them and MAKE YOU feel guilty! Not happening, I would have never done that if He hadn't been acting this way! It was their blog from today, Sunday, check it out: http://cyberpaths.blogspot.com/

((HUGS))you are so much better off without that DEVIl.I hate what these COLD-FISH-psychopaths are.The only cold fish are them! I was married to an almost 67 year old psychopath pervert with a limp d..k and the only thing he was good at was cheating,lying,conning.He repulses me.They even believe their own lies that they are so great the women want them,when,in reality they lie to make themselves look like they are worth money and the women lower themselves for a catch.....what a catch hugh? SUCKER fish.....

Thanks for the hugs! Mine is now 64 and he uses a ton of Viagra and still can't get it up! But...with the internet sex and porn, he is still king (in his sick twisted mind) And, he has tried to turn family against me, but luckily failed. I have 1 daughter though who moved out at 18 and when she was home, he worked from 7:30 a.m. until 9 p.m. so she really didn't witness that much. (Yeah I know, what a dumb a@zz I was to believe he was working all those hours, and he controlled all the money too, even what I earned) Anyway, this daughter is catching on now too, she had asked that I not say ANYTHING negative about her dad, so I kept my mouth shut. For Valentine's Day, he sent her a picture he took of himself! And, he was going on and on to her about how only fat women want to go out with him! (and he weighs 260!!!) and complaining to her! So, the truth is, I really think they DO believe their own lies, they tell them so much and so often they don't know truth anymore.

low life scum bags

I know, its just sad all that wasted love I had for nothing but a sick SOB. They wanted us to believe they were so great and the dream of our lives when they knew they were nothing but scum and shit. He wasted my life and THAT pisses me off like nothing I have felt before.
