Minor quibble: never date TWICE anyone crazier. It is sorta difficult to tell simply by looks.

Hi.

Imho, the “Hot/Crazy” matrix works pretty well.

Yep. See my Post #39.

He’s on Wife #3. Wife #1 & I are friends, as I was the Step-Mom to her son, and the ex and I raised two Nephews, too.

We’re waiting for Wife #3 to wise up and then we’re starting our own ‘The Jerk’s Ex-Wives Club,’ LOL!

Bookmark. This is church. Totally true. Just ended an LTR based on ‘Won’t make plans’ alone.

“Do these jeans make me look fat?”

True story:
My wife was shopping Capri pants one day, and she tried a pair on with some colored stripes. She asked me: “do these look too much like pajamas?” Me being the dutiful husband: “no, they look great on you.” So she bought them. Fast forward two weeks. We’re home from work, and she’s changing into the Capri pants. Me being the dumb*** I am said (really): “Are you getting ready for bed already?” The temperature in the house fell at least 30 degrees instantly, and I got a cold, dead stare. Then she totally went off on me after a solid ten seconds of total silence. To this day I hear about it (15+ years later…).

The correct way for that question to be answered:

"Do these jeans make me look fat?"

"No, those jeans don't make you look fat".

Same thing with me and my ex..
She hit 18 out of 20 on that list, and then some..
Divorced her after the kids were grown..

If you really want to know about a nasty disorder, she had OCPD..
Look that one up if you want to be terrified..

You probably had a very neat, clean and organized home, though! ;)

If Your Partner Ever Says These 20 Things, You Should Break Up

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And if your partner ever says this - you are about to break up.

“We need to talk.”

They usually have a complete lack of empathy. They are apaths, caring only for themselves and their actions all revolve around reconciling their self-loathing, but nothing they do overcomes this self hate and low self esteem. They manipulate EVERYONE in their social circle to their own desires, yet truly caring about nobody but themselves in their quest to have ever elusive inner value.

They seek out high empaths and can spot and manipulate their victims VERY easily. From these disorders, psychologists have labeled their actions with terms like...

Hoovering
Monkey branching
Gas lighting
Love bombing
Flying monkeys
Future faking

...and many more, which are worth researching.

It’s a sick cycle if an empath gets into relationship with an apath. One “cares for” to much and the other cares not at all. Each one trying to resolve the mystery conflict.

But once informed about these behaviors, there is healing for the empath and the key word is “boundaries”...I don’t want this, I won’t be treated like that, I dont want to go there. I don’t want to be spoken to like that.

While boundaries insulate and empower the empath, they destroy the manipulation of the NP/BP and it usually ends the relationship as one gains and one loses control.

There is a quick, early test to “out” the NP/BP. It is the “laughing no” test. There are short videos demonstrating this technique. Even though the laughing no test is in reality laughing at the absurdity of attempted manipulation and creating self boundaries with humor, the NP/BP cannot ever be laughed at. They will RAGE, because to them it reaffirms their self hate.

If this post and my two prior posts help even one person then all these words weren’t in vain.

21. She tells you her low income is because men held her back. (Translation: she'll blame you too for whatever bad choices she makes in the future.)


22. She tells you that you and your family are nice. It's her family that's hard to get along with. (Translation: you and your family will be just as "hard to get along with" once you become family to her.)


23. She often yells, "Go Vols!". (Translation: her perspective in life is to always have her hopes up for a month only to always feel like a complete loser by the end of October.)

I know some FReepers may not care for this article but had took in account number 2,4,6, that would have saved me from a bad date in Germany and I would have got the heck out of there early, some people are just not worth a damn, and best to leave them be. I do not date women who try to tell me what to do, think or believe, plus act like petulant children, never again.

I always liked Miller Genuine draft.
I do not see it available at my local retailers anymore.
