Anyone have experience with someone believed to have NPD (narcissistic personalty disorder)?

Question

I have recently been "dumped" by someone who I believe has NPD. He, of course, is oblivious to the facts and says that he treated me "well". Honestly, I wish he had treated me "well". It was a very difficult relationship to say the least. He made me feel like everything was my fault...he got angry at the slightest provocation and swore at me. He was always distant but I am not a quitter and tried my hardest to work at the relationship. He says I have mental health issues and I am delusional. I really don't believe that I am but the more time you spend with someone who tells you that the more you question yourself. I guess what I am looking for is someone to tell me what I already know.....that there isn't much I can do because he doesn't want to change, that it's best that the relationship has ended. The moving on is difficult though and he calls my cell phone once a week and I don't answer and he doesn't leave a message but still he calls. What is up with this?

Answer 1

One thing you need to remember about an adult with Narcissistic Personality Disorder is, their battlecry is "It's all about ME". The world revolves around them, their problems are always created by someone and directed at them because they are jealous, etc;
They accept no responsibility for anything.

The one thing I hear from your statements is you were putting all the work into making that relationship work. You must be exhausted. To make a relationship work, both partners must be willing to contribute to the success of the relationship.

You already know what is best for you, because you have stated it here. So what you need is to give yourself permission. It wouldn't matter if you had tried for 3 more days, 3 more years or 3 more centuries, this relationship would probably be doomed.

So give yourself a break and move on.

NPD is formerly known as Megalomania or Calloquiscally as egotistical. Narcissium first appeared as a mental health Diagnosis.

NPD is a "cluster B" - which could be dramaatic, emotional or erratic Personelity disorder.

Answer 3

Read up on Narcissim. Once a person reaches adulthood as a narcisist the general prognosis is that it will not be cured in their life. Narc's usually suck the life out of everything and everyone they touch. They often push people away but try to stay in contact to continue to feed off your energy. Cut him off completely and don't look back.

NPD - yep... very unpleasant person, but I feel sorry for him as I know what causes this - look it up, then move on. Otherwise you are just banging your head against a wall.

Answer 5

Consider yourself blessed to be rid of him.
