Yup. Right on again. They’re so crazy. And crazy people make you crazy when you can’t see through them and doubt yourself. And they make you do that too. So it’s always lose/lose with them.

OMG I never realized this was a manipulation tactic!! My ex would do this when talking to her ex!! The first time he texted her, and I said I was uncomfortable with her talking to him, she made it into this huge ordeal about me being dramatic and causing issues because it "didn't mean anything" so it became I had to be ok with it and was just like tell me when you talk to him. And even then, when she would tell me a week or more later after actually talking to him, I was causing issues again even though she was the one telling me so late.
Then, on top of that, having her friends (flying monkeys) justify that bad behavior: "oh what's wrong with her talking to her ex", "you're being jealous" and things like that. It's absolute crazy making!!

My narcex did this: she casually mentioned a few things about her ex (who had stayed firmly locked in her orbit, part of the harem, whom she triangulated against me) and later when I asked some very obvious questions she flew into a rage screaming “I always share too much, I’m always too honest, I don’t ever expect people who should trust me to think such dirt about me”. We had a massive argument. I very deliberately stopped enquiring about anything regarding her ex and after a couple of weeks or maybe a month or so she resumed mentioning him as if to provoke me into taking the bait and making enquiries, but I didn’t bite.

What was really interesting with my ex was that she spoke a lot about how abusive her exes used to be but she would compare me to them whenever I set boundaries. In hindsight I see the negative triangulation. It used to really hurt me to get compared to ""awful"" people since I did so much for her.

they are so twistedly manipulative they never do or say anything true.

[IzabelaWaniek-ix]

True. Anything the narcissist says or does has hooks attached to it. They are desperate for attention and praise all the time and in time it makes your head spin and you feel drained and confused all the time. Any relationship with a narcissist is doomed to fail. It’s like you are dancing with a devil.

My mother was the queen of, "Oh, nothing. Never mind. Just forget it. Never mind. It was nothing. I said, it was nothing! Now, forget it! Just forget it!" And, I'm thinking, "Like, okay, but that's an awful lot of drama for 'nothing.' " LOL.

Mine did it with money, when he wanted money he did this trick, tricking me into being me wanting to know and make it my idea to give. In fact I gave him 20.000 dollars and 95% of that money I was always gaslighted into it
