Hi to everyone who is trying to rebuild their lives, mine is just beginning after almost 6 years. I have been discarded for the last time by a man with a Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Just want to let all the women in the Hampton Roads area, Virginia, Brandywine, Maryland and Michigan area to stay away from *****, formerly from Poquoson, Virginia. I would advise you to look up Narcissistic Personality Disorder to prepare yourself if you continue dating him.
He initially comes across as the man of your dreams, until he begins to show his true self. He is callous, cruel, a coward, lacks the ability to empathize, has no feelings of remorse. He will stay with you until he knows that you realize what he really is, then he will begin to try to find someone else. If there is no one else available, he'll keep trying; he will create an illusion that you are the only one and confabulate a massive web of lies. He will justify his behaviors, blaming everything on everyone else, including you.
He seeks adoration from you because he has no sense of who he is. You will realize what he isn't and will have to live with what he really is. Don't expect him to be able to discuss any problems, he thinks he is perfect and it is all your fault, except if you listen really close you will hear projection. What he says you are at fault for is actually him admitting what he has done or said, thought or felt. Guard your children and family, he is a master manipulator of even his own children and parents. Most of his associations become co-dependent, telling him what he wants to hear. We who have had a relationship with him (and in the Hampton Roads area there have been many of us), know that this man is a predator. He targets women who are essentially good women, but with some chip in their armor. He will sense this weakness and become what you are lacking. You must constantly adore him, put him before all others and give him the constant attention and reassurance he demands. He does not possess even the most rudimentary maturity levels for his age.
You will finally get to the point of realizing that you have given this man everything and you are beginning to lose your own sense of right and wrong. He will stick around until he has finished contorting into the sick human being he truly is, and by then you will feel like you can't continue. Then the real fun will begin. He will cause you to misjudge your perceptions, will whine and cajole you into continuing doing what he wants, in other words, your life will be hell. This man has assaulted his own father, has no goods words for anyone including his own family and he is a somatic narcissist. He derives his happiness from people (mostly women) who will reflect back to him the image he needs as a man but doesn't possess. He has let his children down so many times, has beaten me up at least 3 times and I cannot honestly tell you the number of women he has slept with during times we were together and apart.
I was warned that he was pathological, but poor judgment made me continue even when everyone around me was telling me I was being duped. He hates my daughter and my son, has even threatened to beat my son. Once you see his ugly other self, you won't want to believe it, and you will lovingly ignore it. But the day will come when you finally realize that you cannot continue trying to be his everything when he emotionally can give so little back to you. That first spark that was between you starts a hellfire, and it's very difficult to get him out of your life, even when you discover how sick he is. You remain in love with the man you thought he was and you will continue to try to get that man back.
If you are with him now, give it up before you become emotionally dead. He is emotionally immature, angry, dangerous, barely functional in society, and you are risking your life being with him. This post is by no means the ranting of a jealous woman. I am heartbroken that within less than a month after returning from the Dominican and being intimate with me, he is running off to Michigan with a woman he barely knows. He broke up with me by telling me he was transferring to Florida and clearly stating he was not involved with anyone else. I am not a dysfunctional woman, always out of love tried to trust him and made it lovingly clear to him that if he wanted to be with another woman, to please let me know. Instead I have received to date nothing but cowardly lies from him. I get the truth from the people in his family who love us both. I pity that once again he has been irrational and hasty and he still cannot fathom that he needs help. Do read about Narcissistic Personality Disorder or Bipolar Personality Disorder. He needs therapy, this particular personality disorder is often untreatable. When you begin to see under his mask, be prepared, for it is really him. At any rate, I wish you well. I hope you do not develop a malignant optimism about changing him. He is what he is and if you can live with that, I guess it would be good for him. But nothing will satisfy a narcissist, they'll always want more, even when you have nothing left to give. This will be my one and only post, as he is nothing to me anymore.
EDIT:Dear mbme,
I have edited your post to protect 'my' arse. Even though we are very open on this forum, actual names are not posted on WoN because of potential litigation against the forum owner. That would be me. I can afford the costs of this webspace but not a lawsuit.
There are other websites that don't mind engaging in court. You can find them on google and post *****'s name there if you want.
I hope you'll come back though and join the rest of us. We've all been hurt, some of us abused, many others alienated from their true selves. We have some personal work to do in order to restore our self-worth and perhaps our sanity. Anytime you would like to join us, please do!
I am very sorry for what has happened in your life. Narcissists do such terrible damage to other people. 
We'd all like to warn people before they get hurt; unfortunately, most people won't believe us UNTIL they get hurt, too. 
Hugs,
CZ
