Walking away and definitively closing the door on your relationship with a narcissistic ex-partner is one of the most emotionally draining challenges you can face. After all, these manipulative bullies are never willing to just let bygones be bygones, and always want to have the final word after the break-down of a relationship. Besides, when narcissists get dumped, their inner demon raises its ugly head and becomes determined to (metaphorically) destroy their ex-partner.
Iām a lover of love, but Iām also one of those people who find it hard to give up my single habits... Well, I should say my habits as a single woman as far as Iām concerned. Some people like to go out all the time with friends, others prefer to do their own thing. Iām more in the second category, but there are plenty of people who find it hard to give up their independent side. And you know what? Thatās actually good news! Let me explain.
If you have recently broken things off with your narcissistic partner, you should be prepared for them to launch a torrent of attempts at getting you back. The stark reality is that narcissists have a hard time moving on and fail to realize that the end of a relationship is synonymous with their victim or should I say ex, putting an end to their tyrannical reign. In short, these skilled manipulators never give up and always have something up their sleeve to win you back. They certainly arenāt prepared to give up their role as the puppet master without a fight.
We probably all know this scenario only too well.

The worst is still yet to come because when you look at the caller ID, you notice that itās your ex; the one you recently cut all contact with. Why is he trying to contact you again? And moreover, should you answer or block all of his calls?

If youāre currently reading this article, then you are no doubt dating a married man who has promised you the earth and then some, yet youāre not totally convinced of his sincerity. Having an affair and being āthe other womanā certainly isnāt an easy role, and can become even more confusing when your lover swears to you that he is ready to give up everything because he loves you so much. Lies, false promises, and attempts at manipulation make these shadowy love stories even less transparent, but, to clear things up, here are 10 signs you are unfortunately being used.
If you had asked me this question a few years ago, I would have said hell no, but recently and thanks to recent discoveries, my opinion has done a whole 180Ā°. Nowadays, there are a variety of ways for us to find our soulmate without actually even seeing them; we can fall in love online, we can meet someone on dating sites, or, alternatively, we can sign up to Netflix's hottest dating show; 'Love Is Blind'. Now, if you haven't yet binge-watched this rollercoaster series, and are in need of a little romance in your life, you know exactly what to do.
Codependency is a relationship disorder characterized by a strong subservience to a partner who experiences frequent difficulties, for example, they could be addicted to alcohol or gambling. Here, the co-dependent person is prepared to help their partner at any cost, even if it means sacrificing their own needs for the benefit of their partner. However, their sacrifices inevitably cause them great frustration, which they never really deal with. In fact, they never really acknowledge the plight of their annoyance and regularly find themselves in a state of denial, surrounded by tons of unspoken and unexpressed points of view. Yet, in spite of the suffering experienced, the co-dependent person is unable to free themselves from this enabling behavior pattern and dysfunctional relationship. Here are signs you are co-dependent and how you can break the cycle.
And yet another guy has escaped meā¦ If youāve ever said that to yourself, maybe you always go for the same type of person. In any case, Iāve been noticing this for a long time. Iāve also noticed that I was always doubting the relationship, which led to failure... These behaviors reflect a rather opposite type of romantic attachment. But what is a type of attachment? What does it show? Knowing them can help us understand a lot about ourselves and our relationships. Hereās an explanation.
Recently, I came across a BBC study that explained that women file for divorce more often than men. The numbers are staggering, with up to 70% of women ending their marriages in the US! Why are women at the origin of this separation? As a feminist, I didn't need to question myself for a long time, the reasons are quite clear. Hereās the explanation.
"I never know where my path goes, but I walk better when my hand clasps yours." I love this Alfred de Musset quote so much because it perfectly illustrates how I feel about my relationship. It's also a great way to understand what my love attachment style is! Knowing how we attach to others, especially in a relationship, can help us understand how we function and how our partner functions. Hereās a full explanation for you.
The beginning of a relationship is often a beautiful time. Discovering the other person, feeling desired, having stars in your eyes and butterflies in your stomach. But all that often masks an inner turmoil: doubts and the multitude of questions we ask ourselves. Have I found the right person? Can I fall in love without fear? What if itās another toxic relationship? Making a commitment isnāt an easy thing, but now that weāve learned to spot the red flags, so we donāt get made a fool of again, letās take a look at the green flags. The good signs that give the green light to a beautiful story!
They say actions speak louder than words, but the truth is words often hurt us way more than anything else. They have the power to destroy us, sting us, and rip our confidence apart. Now, as women, we need to have thick skin, but no matter how hard we fight to protect ourselves and ignore the negativity, certain things are just too painful to move on from. Words hurt like a slap to the face and can break even the strongest amongst us, especially when the orator is the person we love most in the world. Here are the top 15 things husbands should never say to their spouses.
When I hear āunconditional loveā, I think of Romeo and Juliet and all their tragic associates. So it seems as beautiful as it is that unconditional love appears to be mainly sad, even dangerous. And I think about the love we have for our children, and I think that this pure love, which suffers no limits, is truly a unique and precious feelingā¦ but not without risk.
Most of the time, when we think of a couple, we think of two people and only two people. This vision can be reassuring, even seductive for some, but for others, itās far from being fulfilling. What if fidelity was no longer an obligation? What if the exclusive relationship was an outdated model and what if we moved on to an open relationship?
