Had I been in her position, I would have left him right then and there. Divorce—that would have been it for me. He died to me the day I learned about this whole situation. Seeing my aunt crying and knowing how nobody was supporting her left me flabbergasted and disgusted. I still feel that way as I recount this story. Even though it has nothing to do with me directly, I am sharing these details to prove to you that these people are capable of anything.
What stops them from taking action is whether they can get caught or not. So, the narcissist you think did not cheat on you—how do you know? Maybe that person got away with it. You don’t have to go looking for proof because we had none. He always kept his phone unlocked; it was available to us if we wanted to use it. We didn’t have to ask him for a passcode; it was always 1-2-3-4—that was it. There was nothing in his history: no dating apps, no meetups, no secret conversations, no taking his phone to the bathroom, no sleeping with his phone, no staying on the couch, no hiding his phone—nothing. He did the opposite. He always left his phone unlocked and available and didn’t care about it at all.
He only cared about one thing: hiding his financial details. This made me think, “Oh no, he can never do that.” He hardly spent a dime on us. We’re talking about taking someone on dates, buying flowers—he barely spoke kindly to us. He was always mean, cruel, and nasty. He would constantly spew venom, which led us to never consider the possibility of him wooing someone or being nice and sweet to anyone else. It never crossed our minds.
