[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Timeline is kinda same for me and the mask dropped of my ex-gf when she didn't see mistake of her 26 year old in showing something inappropriate to my 13 year old daughter and attacked and belittled my daughter because she could not bear the shame. That's when I realized that she is a true narcissist who can't even leave kids alone in proving her point. It's hard to see some people could be so sick and care so much about their image that they would go to any level possible. [/quote]

Agree.

They throw relationships away to protect their ego & image. It’s disgusting. [/quote]

Wow, this is crazy PP that a narc would do that and won't even leave kids alone. The pain of bearing the shame is too much for them and that is also the reason for their downfall. I am glad you got out in time and protected your kids too. [/quote]

Their kids, and their marriage, are props for their Good Guy image.  [/quote]
