It’s so true “What’s mine is mine and what’s yours is mine”. I’m 4 years free now Doug. And life keeps getting better and better!

That one jumped off the page at me. Because of my first wife’s (BPD) constant badgering about money, when I married again, we decided to keep the house in her name. I can not possibly tell you what a mistake this was!
The narcissist’s mindset is this: “What’s mine is mine and what’s yours is mine”. It was a nightmare by the end. Thankfully I am out and 15 1/2 months with No Contact. I am nowhere close to being finished healing, but I am light years ahead of where I was by the end of the marriage.

Yeh, I could definitely see them doing that!

LOL! Or pick the lock and give the excuse that, “I was worried about you. You could have been lying unconscious or dead in there for all I know”. More like worried that they’re losing control.

Yes most narcissists would find a way to stop you locking yourself away. Because they;’re ALL about control. They may kick off about it. Or they might constantly talk about you locking yourself in a room, until you’re sick of hearing it.Or use other physiological games to stop you.

I think it sums things up perfectly :))))

When I read the part about them following you about the house made me think that if I was unfortunate enough to live with someone like that, I’d have a key to my favorite room in the house so I could lock myself in and keep them away from me. Then I thought that their reaction would be similar to a poem from the book, “I Could Pee On This and Other Poems By Cats”, called “Closed Door”. The first few lines go like this:-

“Let me in let me in let me in
Let me in let me in let me in
Let me in let me in let me in…”

It sounded amusing, although I know that anyone who’s in that situation wouldn’t find it at all funny, except for those who use humor as a coping mechanism.

Except the narc would be screaming and shouting and banging on the door. They might even try to break in.

Disclaimer: In case anyone who’s a cat lover reads this, I’m not saying that I believe cats are narcissists. Quite the opposite. Our pets just love us and want to be with us.

I’d like to add that his subconscious behavior also was suffocating. If I moved around while sleeping, he’d react. Any movement. If I got up to is use the bathroom in the middle of the night he would always have to wake up and comment about it. If I left the bed before he did, even if he was snoring and in a deep sleep he would wake abruptly and talk to me or ask where I’m going. When the kids were babies I’d get up before everyone and go have coffee and journal. He would walk downstairs like a zombie half asleep and crawl up on my lap and go back to sleep. It was maddening! One night I had to crawl over him to get out of the futon we slept on one night and he literally grabbed leg. It makes you feel like you can’t ever make a move that doesn’t affect him. If I ask about this behavior, Like why did you grab my leg, “I don’t know.” Or denial or defensiveness or projection. Talk about anxiety! Makes you question reality and feel like you’re in the twilight zone.

Yes, many narcissists like others to be intimidated by them. It makes them feel powerful and special!

But when you move their things, most go crazy!
