Have you ever been in a relationship where there is no good way out?
I had a former partner in a business, yoga studios. I was passionate about bringing yoga to the masses. He seemed to be an excellent teacher.
There were a few red flags when we partnered up, but I made sure I had control, 65%, so I thought I could manage.
However, pretty shortly into the relationship real problems started to show up. It became apparent he was a narcissist.
- If another instructor started to do as well as he did, he would mess with their schedules, making it difficult for them to build their class
- We would get into fights about his spending and how to manage.
- He would sexually harass students, but in his mind it never happened.
- The same for injuring students.
- He started to steal from the company.
Narcissist can’t be wrong. They recreate reality in their head so they are right. They will do anything to protect their ego.
“When you are on the other side of an argument with a narcissist, you enter dangerous territory, where human decency does not exist.
Narcissists see themselves as the winner of every argument. They see you as the loser. You are always wrong. They fail to recognize the actual reality or inherent truth of the situation.
There is no truce, no forgiveness, and no admission of guilt. It’s Russia vs. Ukraine and you are Ukraine.”
I knew I had to get rid of him, and I knew it would be ugly.
