Why we REMAIN.....
Manage episode 417529952 series 2796405
This podcast explores my personal struggle with staying in a toxic relationship with a Cluster B partner despite being aware of her flaws. Drawing insights from a post in a narcissistic support group, they delve into the lack of empathy in individuals with Cluster B personality disorders and the futility of trying to prove love to such partners. Despite feelings of fear and being consumed by thoughts of abandonment, I no longer blame myself for my partner’s behavior. I also reflect on my wife’s fear of abandonment, legal ties, and shared responsibilities as reasons for staying. Encouraging introspection and rational thinking, this podcast stresses the importance of understanding one’s motivations for remaining in harmful relationships, despite recognizing the need to eventually end them.
