Until she pushed me that much I broke and hit back. It ended up were I got arrested and put in cells, suspended from my job as a care worker which she did as well, there was an age difference I was 40 she was I spent thousands of pounds on her , loved her did everything she wanted gave my all, what I thought. Only then we can get back to each other.. Men suffer at the hands of toxic people also. Thanks for the article — it really helps.
Yes, absolutely! Men suffer every bit as much as women when it comes to toxic people. I only have kept the key this long due to the simple fact that not only has she not stopped harassing me, bullying me online, making shit up and accusing me of it, but now she has decided to burn my personal belongings and even burn my transgender flag and record it and post mean threats about my sexuality all because I finally left her.
She has nothing to worry about with me I just want her out of my life, but I am scared of her, afraid she might actually kill me. Any recommendations or advice on what I should do?
Make a police report and have her arrested for defamation, libel and harassment. Why you have not blocked her? This is really true in my case everything has happened to me I had almost around 8 very close friends but I am left with only 2 of them. I thank this website as it made me realize how to make good friends and how to know who is a good or a bad friend. Not everyone who comes into your life will deserves to stay. There are people who will be very grateful to have you in their lives.
I am on a toxic relationship right now,all what I read is really happening right now,all false accusation.. I find it so stressful…and I want to say thank you for the indicate advice.
I hope it is able to give you the strength you need to do what is best for you and open your path to the love you deserve. I just met a female who acts JUST like this.
I thought it was me and I tried to readjust and also tried to be understanding, but this article describes her. She moved on to try to run with my business too and call her it her own. I am having difficulties dealing with a chain of unfortunate events in my relationship. My boyfriend is a survivor of abuse from his father — and has had a difficult time dealing with it.
This past summer he cheated on me. I have taken him back under the conclusion that it was a horrible mistake and he was in a really bad place at the time. Although now I am feeling very insecure and insignificant.
I have been in bad relationships and cheated on many times in my past as well and feel like i am spiraling. He turns to porn often and it never bothered me before but now it does — as i feel neglected and unwanted. It is really understandable that you would feel insecure and insignificant if you have been cheated on.
Difficult relationships can send anyone crazy. That will take a while, and it will take effort and commitment. If it gets to the point where you are feeling bad more than you feel good, it might be time to really think about what you are getting out of the relationship.
You deserve to feel loved. You have to love yourself first before anyone else will. And you have to have respect for yourself before anyone will. Question if anyone has an answer. I recently had another incident with a friend. Gets in moods and in a subtle ways digs, insults my intelligence.
Keep in mind it is all so subtle, as described in many above posts, that you get off the phone furious and scratching your head having had let it happen again. It was to the point finally addressing exactly what he does and that I have his number and will not continue tolerating this behavior. Now a week or so later I get another email where he speaks briefly about what he is up to in general and also lets me know about a T.
That is it. My wife, as much as I dearly love her, can be the poster child for this article! I aw vague hints of her personality, narcissistic with paranoia and toxicity before I engaged her, then married her. I was so in love with her I overlooked the many little issues thinking all along it must be me and I would make it all better by trying harder.
But soon after the wedding it got worse — routinely. She refused to ever take my advice on family matters, or even hear me it seemed. I learned to avoid the conflict by backing off to let her have her way, but it caused more and more seething resentment within me, so every now and then, usually at the kids that were pushing buttons I would blow up at them. That would turn her against me even more, but typically we would kiss and make up great and all would seem o. A recent death in her family flipped a switch in her.
After a few really great weeks when all seemed great her sibling died. I was there to comfort her as much as I could be, then she flipped a switch and ordered me away, never to come back to see her or talk to her. Week by week I begged and pleaded for her to let me see her and to attend counseling.
I apologized over and over for this and that, but she never has once that I can recall apologized for anything and only barely accepted blame for our dying dreams. She announced she was filing papers and blocking me.
She did not block me however, but I know her and expect to be served divorce papers any day. But it seems to be a 1-sided marriage as scores of family and friends have told me.
Maybe it is for the best to divorce and get on with our lives, but I know she will haunt me forever. I wanted to please her every day and had dreamed of making her happy each day for the rest of her life, but I realized finally — too late I guess that she is unwilling to be happy with me. It sounds as though you have fought really hard to make this relationship work. I can hear how much you care about your wife. It would be no mistake that she chose you — your generosity, your warmth, your loyalty and commitment.
It sounds as though it has brought you a lot of pain. Listen to your friends and family and listen to what you now know. Toxic people find it difficult to be happy with anyone. Loving someone is like an addiction and moving on from someone you love is like a physical and emotional withdrawal — but the pain does end. You deserve a relationship that nurtures you and a love that feels nourishing and mutual. You deserve to be happy. You will find that, but first you have to let go of that which is getting in the way of it finding its way to you.
I wish you strength and courage and the love you deserve. Thank you for the advice and reply. As I guessed I got the decree to sign today. I tried everything I could but the worse part is that she literally did not shed a tear over it I can tell. She is probably doing you a favor. When one door closes another one opens. You will probably meet some new women and realize you have been missing out on some great times.
It is a new beginning. This is what a narcissistic person is like. But why do they need your approval? Are their self esttems actually that low that they need to lower yours as well?
Toxic people need control above all else. Sometimes this is driven by low self-esteem, sometimes insecurity, sometimes both or something else altogether. Having power and control over the relationship and the people they are with is everything. They are incapable of recognising the needs of another person above their own. One of the reasons they attack the self-esteem of those they are in a relationship with is because people are much easier to control when they are full of self-doubt.
Toxic people choose well — they will often choose people who are generous and who work hard at a relationship. I am in a toxic relationship right now all the things you mentioned are him to the T! Prior to that he grabbed my hair, took my glasses off my face and broke them because I told him no to get mad at my daughter she just a baby. I said it more than 2 times and he snatched me up had to find the pieces to my glasses and tape them together to be able to work in the am.
He told me next time I should learn not to open my mouth. I accidentally dropped his pants on the bathroom floor and he went off talking down to me, throwing stuff at me. I just pray it will get better. Long story short, we had been close albeit dysfunctional for 18 years, but no more since the last 2 years.
The demise stems 10 yrs ago because of an inheritance my parents received. Background: We grew up poor. However, he had a respect for her once she got older. In fact, he nominated her as a successor executor in his will years ago. Though my father was verbally abusive to all of us kids and we all have issues as a result, he was least to me and another young sister. Anyway, trouble started when two of my single elderly uncles both of whom had sizable savings and lived together declined in health and one died, leaving my father his savings account.
The other, with dementia and anxiety, leaned on my father for help, who in turn, leaned on me for advice and help, which was very new grounds for me and nervewracking.
Note, my father was and still is managing his own finances and he specifically asked me not to discuss them with my other siblings. So I gave in and told her how much he received. She has slandered me to our mutual friends, who give me the cold shoulder, for which I called her out on. She was so upset with me one time, screamed abusively because she claimed she had to ask my parents directly whether they had gone to see a lawyer to sign new estate planning documents.
She loves to awe inspire, in fact, that is how I joined the religion, through her I was 20, she was Jekyl and Mr. She did make a very nice gesture at my wedding to whom she did not approve of the man I married recently but I wondered if it was more to save face in front of those we both know so she can have one up on me down the road.
I feel more at peace that way, but how do I feel good about myself in this situation? She is very demanding behind closed doors. It sounds as though you have been having an awful time with this. Letting go of the bad feelings is something you do for your own sake.
One way to do this is to put up a really clear boundary, but with love and the option to have it come down, but on your terms.
Tell her what she means to you and be generous and loving, and also let her know what feels intolerable. Decide on the terms for your relationship and let her know what they are. Ask her what she needs from you and decide whether or not you are prepared to give her that. That way, you are putting an end to her capacity to hurt you, but being open to being in a relationship with her in a way that is better for both of you.
If she is acting as though you are untrustworthy and questioning you a lot, that is an indication of her own insecurity. She lives away from the family and seems to have or feel as though she has little influence over what happens with your parents and the family. On the other hand, she suspects you have a lot. Insecurity has a powerful way of turning people against each other, but if you can see it for what it is, it will be easier for you to take is less personally.
See them for what they are. The main thing to remember is that you can love someone and decide not to tolerate them anymore. I wish you all the very best with this. Families can be a great source of pain. Love yourself enough to have the boundaries you need.
They door to them can still be open, but make that entry on terms that are acceptable to you. She catches me off guard. Now it is just completely awkward. She looks for the absolute worst and exaggerates everything about me.
I have seen her do it to others who she feels have done something to her. I believe she is very narcissistic. I have had nightmares of her. This is why toxic people are so damaging. All you can do is protect yourself as much as you can, by building the wall higher between you both. It sounds as though you still have to co-exist in the same environment and your daughters are friends so you have to tread carefully.
Any contact with her will feel bad for you, so avoid her where you can without getting into a confrontation. It might be the case that any attempt you make to talk to her will be heard through her negative filter and twisted in such a way as to make herself the victim.
If she has no intention of reconnecting with you in a way that is healthy for you, the only thing you can do is to pull away gently. If she is acting in such a way as to cause harm to you daughter, I would consider speaking to the school and asking them to deal with it discretely.
I wish you all the best. When we moved to the area, her kids were on top of the academic pile. Here I come with my equally intelligent children, one of whom was found to have an IQ of She found out only because she was an aide at the school. From then on, she was out for blood because she thought my kids were about to unseat hers. I still shake my head at this….. And like I always told my kids: when someone tells lies about you, conduct yourself in such a way that no normal person will believe it.
Let her behavior reflect on her. Thank you so much for this article and bringing awareness to the fact that some people are just, plain, toxic.

My first impression reading the list is that hey my husband and I fit into some parts of this list so either everyone has some toxicity in them or we are both toxic people. Either way counseling has done us both a world of good. His daughter on the other hand, very toxic and drains us both. Yes, everybody does some of the things on the list from time to time.
None of us are perfect but the people who are good to be with are the people who, like you, are open to their impact on people and are able to take responsibility for that. I have an ex, and a friend, who are what most people would consider toxic.
The people in my life who display toxic tendencies and I used to be like this myself are very much lacking in self-awareness. I used to take it all very seriously and let it stress me out.
