Surviving NarcissismLife After a Narcissistic Relationship

Put down that piece of fudge and check out these quotes.  (Actually, that was more about me and the fudge.  We made an outstanding batch of fudge this year — velvety, smooth, dark, rich…       The nice thing about being single is that you can take a fourth/eighth piece of fudge and you won’t get the Evil Eye.)

Thank you Annie and Amy.  They spotted the Narcissist Quotes Page and sent me their unbelievable quotes.  You can not make this stuff up.  Only Survivors know how true this stuff really is.  Amy, I admire your bravery.  Annie, I admire your tenacity.  Thank you for sharing.  I was going to compile a list of Narcissist Quotes on a separate page, but these deserve to be front and center.  Every good Survivor deserves her moment in the spot light.  And we all know that we never have center stage in our “lives” with Narcissists.

From Annie:

• “I got myself a new pair of running shoes.  Here — you can have my old ones.”
• After telling him that I had made an appointment with an Ob/Gyn to discover if I may have fibroids or something more serious, he chimes in with, “Can’t they check your knees while they’re at it?”
• After single-handedly raising three kids, doing the books for his business, and taking care of the house, he says, “When are you going to learn how to multi-task.”
• He actually threw a surprise party for my birthday at a local restaurant.  We showed up and all his friends were there.  Not a single one of my girlfriends, or my sister, or my dad was in attendance.  At the end of the meal he said, “Annie, pull out your driver’s license, so I won’t have to pay for your meal.”  On the drive home, he asked if I thought his idea for the party was great.
• I have two sets of salt and pepper shakers on the table.  He can’t be bothered to pass to me.
  

From Amy:

• In the hospital, right after giving birth he says, “Don’t worry about it.  It’s okay.  They’re not allowing me to stay overnight.  I’m hungry anyways.”
• In the hospital, after I’ve been in a car accident he says, “I don’t really know how to get there.  Can you just take a cab?”
• When I informed him that I was leaving our 15-year marriage he says, “Can’t we just renew our vows?”
• When I asked for some blankets for my one-room apartment he says, “You should have thought of that before you moved out.”
• “When you drop (our 8 year old son) off, make sure he has on clean clothes and his homework is done.  We’re going out to dinner.”
• “Let me know the Christmas schedule.  I want them Christmas Day.”
• “You know I love you.  You just never let me tell you.”
• “I’m not leaving.  This is my house.  Besides, it will just lead to divorce.”
• “You want the bedroom mirror?  What am I going to do?”  (With a 4,000 square foot house, all the furnishings, cars, housekeepers, nanny, club memberships…)
• “This is MY poker party.  When are you dropping off the beer?”
• “I guess I’ll leave the front door open so you can bring the wrapped Santa gifts (on Christmas Eve).  I really don’t know why you wait until the last minute.”

On second thought, we all deserve another piece of fudge.
