This one sentence explains your entire relationship with a narcissist.
A narcissist is a victim of everything,
responsible for nothing,
offended by everything,
contributing nothing,
yet entitled to absolutely everything.
Let that sink in.
Victim of everything - they will tell the world how YOU hurt THEM, even though they were the one who lied, cheated, and abused.
Responsible for nothing - nothing is ever their fault. It's always you, your past, your tone, your reaction.
Offended by everything - set a boundary? You're disrespectful. Tell the truth? You're attacking them. Ask for accountability? You're "too much."
Contributing nothing - no real love, no real effort, no real repair. Just crumbs, promises, and performance.
Entitled to everything - your time, your body, your forgiveness, your silence, your entire life.
You spent years trying to reason with someone who lives by this code. No wonder you were exhausted.
You were trying to have a real relationship with someone who only wanted a one-way street where you give everything and they owe nothing.
