Narcissistic men are something else.
They act like they're the prize, the victim, the hero, and the therapist...
The delusion is actually impressive. He'll tell you he's a catch while treating you like you're lucky he even showed up. He'll play victim when you finally call out his behavior, acting like your boundaries are attacks. He'll position himself as your savior when he's the one causing the chaos you need saving from. And then he'll psychoanalyze your reactions to his disrespect, diagnosing you with the very traits he embodies.
Meanwhile, you're getting the worst deal imaginable. Constant drama he creates then blames you for. Confusion because his words never match his actions. Promises that evaporate the moment you count on them. He'll gaslight you into believing you're the problem while he does absolutely nothing to improve himself or the relationship.
The exhausting part is watching him genuinely believe his own narrative. He's not just lying to you—he's lying to himself. And that's why they never change. You can't fix someone who thinks they're already perfect while simultaneously being the most wounded person alive.
You're not asking for too much. You're just asking the wrong person. And recognizing that is how you finally get free.
