The Hidden Truth About Consent: What They’re Not Telling You

🔴 New Course: Unplug From The Matrix Of Narcissism

[terilynn]

Exactly! Being robbed of making an informed decision is a violation! Dishonesty is on a whole other level.

[lynnodonovan]

They wait until you’re emotionally committed/in love and then, slowly and unexpectedly, start revealing dark, disturbing behaviours and information that most people would have said a hard no to had they been aware sooner.

[ryhumb]

This hit me so hard. I have been trying to explain to people that haven’t gone through it and this is what I’d like to say to them. It’s not just a breakup it’s abuse.

[beccalovesjesus]

Nope, he lied and withheld so much! Had I known I would have never gotten with somebody like that nor would I have ever had a child with him!

[FabulousCucumber-iphu]

Every time I hear Richard speak, he throws more light onto an aspect of my past I'd never considered.

The best channel on YouTube for narcissistic survival and recovery.

As if the narcs would care about your consent ... Be prepared to be overruled in every way, you will never have life, control or dignity when you are with them. The more humiliated you are, the tighter their grip gets, and they know that!

[bbybluelmc]

Fortunately or unfortunately, this is another reason why your own emotional independence and financial independence is not only helpful but quite important.
“Hey guys- be ready for anything before you are ready!”😂
I’m saying strive for that independence, no matter where you may be on the spectrum in your mind or in the world view, and keep going because when you feel weakened and are financially weakened you will feel forced to be with someone you may not be with, otherwise.
Know you can progress and escape. Work on being comfortable with vulnerability and don’t accept a partner that is unwilling to do the same. If you can’t do that now then hold that intention and continue striving.
You can get to the life you aspire to have!
My care and love to everyone: Keep going 💕

My therapist at the time had to remind me.... but you didn't want this and you didn't agree to this... at the time I needed that spelled out.

[timawima]

Thank you for this! The level of deception they employ is reckless

[NarcSurvivor]

Going no contact can be very dangerous. Narcissists can become very unpredictable when they lose supply. They will do whatever it takes to regain control. Be careful.

[jamieleigh]

Is this the answer I’ve been looking for all this time omg. This explains why so many of us refuse to leave an abusive toxic relationship even when we know they are manipulative or untrustworthy they are still coercive! Thank you so much Richard

[vhayashi]

This is why I love Richard and what he teaches! Absolutely Brilliant. Thank you

[lauraporter]

Damn - this also applies to job interviews & promises without describing the reality!

[lisaproustresearch]

I love these short yet powerful nuggets of wisdom
The logical explanation doesn't remove the trauma but helps to understand the trap to hopefully avoid it in the future. The problem/advantage is that the traumatic residue never goes away and then you just simply abandon the possibility of engaging with anyone again.

[bluesky]

This is the crux - people doing their best to override my consent and me fighting not to let them. My consent is my everything it is my free will

[juliaeffertz]

Yes. This! Consent must always be informed (plus: freely given, reversible, specific and engaged/pro-active).

[michelejamessinger]

I told him I loved him. I saw this sly little smile creep across his face as if to say “ha, I got you”. He dropped the mask and was a monster from that day on. I’ve left him.

[coach_amy]

Thank you! I was gaslit so much about this topic with ex.

It *blew my mind* that someone who could call me the love of a lifetime wouldn't want me to know the truth. Later the excuse was, "Well, I wanted you to like me."

What's to like about a lying, manipulating con artist, emotional cheater?

[patriciacole]

I have been saying this for years but with much less clarity. The way I’ve said it is it’s breech of contract. He said he loved me and never did. So it’s not really a marriage.
