A very abusive person, who is a compulsive liar, who can make you believe just about anything they say, then after you are in, they show their nasty side. They believe the lies that they tell you, that is why you believe them. They are very calm when faced with adversity. They can explain their way out of anything.

They usually play the victim part well also.

Until you meet one, it's hard to describe.

With out trust you have nothing. So unless one is willing to trust another how do they ever expect to have a relationship.

I believe in giving that trust until they break it.

Maybe to some that is wrong but how will you every know unless you are willing to give that trust.

You can't blame new relationships on what the past one's did.

That is not fair to them or you.

and they only do things for themselves... meaning if they do something nice, its b/c it will make themselves look good or they have a motive.

Yep, narcissistic in nature always, but hide it VERY well.

and they have no feelings......

"Trust Everybody - But Cut The Cards"

Txs The only way to know love is to open yourself up for hurt, so I say that is the main reason for long courtships. Don't rush and time will reveal that which needs to be seen. Also one should be healthy inside of themselves also. If one has low self esteem and no self respect then they are easy targets for those sociopaths being spoken of. JMO of course

yep, only about themselves at least.

How you being sick effects them.

it isn't that they dont have feelings... they have abnormal feelings than most ppl....

they could get into a bar fight... and not care or think it was funny or said that it wasn't their fault... where most ppl at some point would feel guilty or some remorse.

thanx

Ohhhhhhh this is bringing back bad memories

Sorry, I was just thinking without my helmut on again....

<----puts helmet back on and drinks more coolers!!!

I have serious trust issues..

Comes from years of getting my ass beat on a regular basis .. along with the fists there was severe emotional abuse.. would rather take a fist to the face any day then the words to the heart.. bruises heal.. the other **** destroys a piece of your soul

well you aren't alone there... have you been to therapy?

completely beyond me why someone thinks he has the right to do that to another person, especially someone he supposedly loves...

its about control, and their own lack of self-esteem, drug abuse and mental disorders

Yep we've been divorced since 2000.. it never completely goes away...

Did the whole therapy thing for awhile after we divorced, took alot longer to get rid of the jerk then I thought.. turned into a stalker, wrote letters to me and sent them , had to change phone numbers so many times i lost count..

Stillto this day makes me question my judgement

Never question your judgement for making a decision for your safety. I will be sending you a message.
