[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not trying to derail the tread, honestly curious- I hear so many people refer to their ex as a narcissist when it's really such a small percentage of the population that is thought to be truly narcissistic. Are ex's of narcissists an especially vocal community? Are there actually many more narcissists among us than previously thought? Or do people often label their ex a narcissist because... well, things didn't work out in the relationship and they don't see their part in the deterioration?

Thoughts? [/quote]

Not OP, but I've come to realize that my ex has many narcissistic tendencies, even if he's not a narcissist.  It's been helpful for me to name some of his behaviors so I can cope with things like the frequent texts the OP is describing.

OP--I am experiencing the same thing: I want to disengage, but can't because of co-parenting.  Ex is also with someone else but he won't stop trying to suck me back in. The only thing that helps is ignoring as many communications as I can and keeping all necessary communication short and factual.  I'm sorry you're dealing with this.    I get the same anxious, sick feeling whenever I see my ex's messages.[/quote]
