Can anyone relate to that?
Abosolutly!
I started seeing the changes after about the 3rd yr. but didnt reconize the signs of NPD until much later. I should have gotten a clue when he said " I only tolerate you because I dont see you as the enemy". WTF. Apparently, now he does. LOL. This is my second (and last) marriage so I was determined to do everything to work things out. When it all finially came to an end, I realized that I had not know how bad things were. Even with the financial burden Ive been under for the last 1 1/2 yrs. and the stress from him not selling the house or signing the papers, I am happier and at peace. I no longer have to tip toe around my own house or watch my every word or be prepared for an attack at any given moment.

Im not sure if he hid this self from me, or I was too blind to see it, if he actually changed, or if his depression and alcohol additiction were factors.

Looking back at all the crap, I often wonder what happened to that great guy I married because when I look at him now all I see is a demon.

After my brother cheated on his wife, and the subsequent divorce, my sis-n-law (who I thought was a great gal) ended up going out and mirroring the same behaviors that my brother (her ex) had been guilty of and which caused the split in the first place! The very stuff she was sooo unhappy with and condemning about.

Now, like him, she frequents bars after work, and stays out late oftentimes leaving the kids alone, or with one of her family members . She's drinking and partying and bringing people home. I feel sorry for my niece and nephew, but what can ya do? Needless to say, they are not well-behaved (social problems) and are having academic troubles. Absolutely tragic-IMO.

Exactly. Would not exactly equate those experiences to vomit backing up in the throat either. LOL - What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.

I swear, well not literally, a person surfaces that you've never before known...and you think, "Who was this person I was married to all those years?" Talk about love being totally blind....
I think its more a case of the person reacting to the situation. Some women can just try to screw a man over so badly in a relationship that it causes the guy to act out of his normal fiber/character. Like when a woman wants to take the house, his kids and ask for monthly allowance. Also when the woman is cheating on him and still ask for those things.

It actually goes both ways because I feel sooooo bad for Hulk Hogan with his crazy wife. He worked so hard for all those years only to have to deal with a stupid wife who did all those bad things to him. He couldnt live in the house he worked for. The kid his cheating low life wife was cheating with was living in his home, driving his car, hanging out on his boat. She is the epitome of horrible person who surfaces during divorce.

well, say what you want, but I don't believe he's a picnic to live with...I've watched some of his shows, and he only reinstated the fact that, people should have to take a test before they have children.....

yes, it does, and if we wouldn't know the hard times, how could we ever identify and rejoice at all the good stuff....

So you are saying that its okay in some instances for people to show their true selves in a divorce?

No, I'm saying the both of them were a little out of touch with reality...and they shouldn't have had children....

I'm not saying it's ok for any of them, him or her to be mean to each other during the seperation or divorce, but, I see them both as being a bit dysfunctional.....
