[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was with a covert malignant narcissist for almost 18 months. Mask dropped after about 9 months. It was the triangulation and belittling that I could not continue with. It slowly eroded me and the cognitive dissonance meant my poor system was in flight/flight for too long. I ended up physically sick and I have held down stressful senior jobs across countries so I thought I would be ok. I wasn’t. The physical toll can be high as well as the mental & emotional stress. I left him and I am doing so much better. [/quote]

My spouse is a malignant covert narc as well. Everything done for purported altruism is actually done for validation purposes. Incredibly rude and hostile behind closed doors and full of constant digs. It is what it is and I grey rock. Not sure the plan.[/quote]

Yep I get it. I grey rocked for a while.  I then thought why am I doing this, a partner should add to my life not take away.  Then he hurt me emotionally big time as he upped the anti because I wasn’t giving him the antagonistic supply he craved. At that moment my love just drained away. Eyes opened. I had had enough.
