Thats not a trait of one at all. Being dishonest, manipulative, deceptive, mirroring you — is a huge part of their personality. I wish I could get to the point where I can say NO for sure if he reappears in the future. It has been two and a half months. How long will it take me to say NO — instead of sure, hurt me again.

This is really up to you. TO escape you need three things I believe. Hope of a better life 2. Opportunity to build a better life 3. Belief in yourself and that opportunities will arise — this relates back to hope. I really would recommend, if you could afford it Mary to get professional help with a therapist. You have already been through a lot. It will be difficult to make accurate decisions that are right for you, without it.

You know in your heart that this man is not right for you. I hear you, that you need help. You need access to it. I know plenty of women who are sociopathic. Because this post was written in ? One of the earliest posts on the site, when I was traumatised and writing to HIM? I think my boyfriend is a sociopath. We broke up last night for the sixth or seventh time. He has all the characteristics mentioned in the article.

He will do the same hurtful things over and over and then when I get upset and he thinks he might lose me he will provide a fake apology lacking emotion, remorse or any indication that he understands the consequences of his actions and how he impacts others. I have almost gone crazy too in this relationship. The last time we got back together he told me he knew he has a mental illness and he went for an assessment and is awaiting consultation with a psychiatrist.

I wanted to believe this could get better and we could make it work but after last night I feel hopeless. He can twist reality and convince himself of anything to make it easier for him to deal with. I would appreciate any feedback on this.

Im so messed up over this. It feels wrong to give up on someone I love because of a mental illness.

Im torn and so heartbroken over the way he treated me yesterday. Is he even capable of love? Its always all about him. Do you have evidence of this Cynthia? Like a soothing balm to the soul….

What you are describing, does not sound like a healthy relationship for you. It is its impact on you not who he is that is important. You say that you feel wrong to give up on someone for a mental illness, what about your needs? What about your own mental health? I used to think like you. By the time we split, I was so broken, I could barely speak. The longer that this continues, the more of you that is lost. It will take at least twice as long to recover you. Both men and women do this throughout this reading it was always he.

Are you unable to read and work out what it is saying, or translate it Victor? If you look at the date of this post, it is It is about me dating a sociopath. Who was a man. Therefore the post is accurate. They are full of envy, murder, quarrels, deceit, and malice. They are gossips, 30slanderers, God-haters, arrogant, proud, boastful,bo inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,bp 31undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, and unmerciful. We may have had screening practices for our partners, coworkers etc.

But this is coming from a mind and heart that seeks truth and desires to help others…the exact opposite of what a psychopath is. Each psychopath, like their spiritual father satan, desires to be god and to be worshipped, and truth resides no where in their heart or mind. I am a 50 year old woman, who had been dating a sociopath for several years. Never wanting to believe that was truly him, but trying to have faith that if I loved him, he would come around and act, care, relate, and live life in a healthier more productive way for himself.

He lives in drama and I got stuck in that drama with him. Until after almost 4 years, I moved away and just like the article says….. Since then, life feels so much less stressful, hurtful and I feel better about myself.

He was everything this article describes a sociopath to be. It is sad to believe that there are people out there in life like that, and I have always believed in helping people who need others. But there comes a time when you have to think of yourself if they are hurting you and your life, taking away all the good about you, just to live in their drama.
