Oh, good for you!! I love a good love story, and yours is one worth holding on to. I love the idea that you had to write her emails instead of phoning her. Truly a gentleman you are, whether you believe that about yourself or not.

It's a lot of reading; but for anyone grappling with this problem with a family member (or watching a grown child's divorce from a narcissist), here are three articles from DailyMail that discuss this phenomenon.

The articles seem to convey that it's mainly men; but as we look around us, we can see that many women also inflict narcissism on their world.

Some of the comments below the articles were also of interest:

How a narcissist REALLY sees you: Doctor of psychology (who's also narcissistic!) reveals your emotions make them feel weak, you mean 'nothing' to them and they discard you to get back at their mother


Is YOUR partner really a narcissist or just a bad guy? Psychologist reveals the traits of an abuser - from never feeling guilty to always blaming you for problems


Psychologist explains having a narcissistic mother is 'uniquely painful' because they want to 'take your achievements as their own' and struggle to love you 'unconditionally' for who you are

I was far too reserved and introverted for this to ever happen.

Good thin, was also too naive to have smelled a rat.

Women need an enneagram number two

The caretaker

Put her and the kids she births for y’all first practically speaking

Try being selfish or a vain peacock

See how well that works

I see so many young self-indulgent mommied up boys with hot young women

The women look bored

I miss the 70s

That’s a good, succinct summary of the differences between men and women ... in the natural order of male-female relationships.

What’s fun is to look at the interplay between Enneagram and Myers-Briggs.

Sounds much like Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress (IIED). There are some sick puppies out there.

Not all men are bad, but I think a lot of women have no ability to spot the good ones. Of course, a lot of men can’t spot the good women. either.

If high schools taught basic 'how to' for relationships rather than which sex toys do what - we might have a saner culture, fewer suicides and less hysterical sexual weirdos.
