Married to a sociopath (part 2)

I replied:

I think it's really interesting that him being able to see you to your core is a plus in your eyes. Do you think that is atypical for empaths? Don't they like to hide certain parts of them. Isn't that what I sometimes hear marriage self-help types preach? That there should be mystery in marriages? I have sometimes wondered whether that ended some of my relationships. I am always fine seeing people in all their imperfection, but sometimes I think the people I was with were not fine -- did not feel comfortable being laid bare like that.

The reader:
i guess for me, having an addictive personality, i happen to love the intensity that is involved in the constant mind games he can play with me...this is absolute intrigue and mystery...the other aspect i love is that i tend to have a pretty strong personality, a high pressure career that i thrive on and like most modern women, have many balls in the air...I have always been the one in control in relationships. i then tend to resent the shit out of these men that i can control...my husband on the other hand is completely in control and fuck the feminists....this is as it should be...he is dominant sexually, emotionally and pretty much in all aspects of our relationship...i am not exactly a doormat but ultimately, if his logic is sound, i can see his perspective. if it's not sound, and mine is, he will come around to my point of view..slowly, but he will...especially when it comes to how we raise our kids..but he won't admit it for months later,..he is my drug and i love being exposed to him...that to me is what true intimacy is..what a dichotomy...the one person i feel truly intimate with is not capable of feeling true intimacy back...dysfunctional? sure...but it works for us...he knows me and it keeps me on my toes..there is no getting complacent with him...i know if he needs my attention, i damn well better give it to him...i'm sure even my peers would find this shocking but wtf...if you can find a way to get some happiness out of this fucked up world and it just so happens to be a sociopath, i say go for it...there is a reason empaths are attracted to these men or women is that they can make you feel alive...i would rather feel alive and a bit exposed and vulnerable than safe and semi-comatose, which is rampant and what i had with my ex-husband...give me a little emotional danger and you'll have my heart forever...

feel free to publish this..just as an aside, my husband did an interview on aftermath radio talking about his sociopathy...worth a listen...

  1. I think that a lot of relationships that people consider dysfunctional ultimately crash and burn, because it doesn't fit with their fairy-tale image of 'twue wove' (misspelled intentionally). Actually, probably a majority of people who don't have a dysfunctional relationship think the same about theirs. A lot of people are unhappily married because their expectations are too high. They expect to feel 'in love' every single day of their marriage, which is physiologically impossible, because entirely different hormones cause 'being in love with someone' (attraction) and 'wanting to settle down with someone' (attachement). If you're interested, look up "Thr chemical basis of love" on wikipedia.

    (me trying to keep the conversation away from *puke* astrology)

  2. @Reader:

    You don't sound very sure of yourself. It almost sounds like you've given up on what you really want, and settled for less. Like you know there is something out there that is better, but you're tired of looking, and that your current partner, as difficult as he can be, sticks out from the other men in a way in which they cannot hope to measure up to.

    You've basically traded your dreamy knight in shining armor for a shady black knight. Well, a knight is a knight at least, right?

    Thanks for the link, btw. I thought the interview was pretty shitty and short, but I imagine that calling a Psychopath Recovery show comes with some added pressure.

    You talk about others being weak, but you are the weakest of them all. You are the town dunce that thinks he is a king.

  9. "they can make you feel alive"

    This is what hooked me on my narc-ex. As a product of my disorder, numbness and an intolerable boredom suffuses my life. I'd rather feel something than nothing, and he was good at that. Was it worth it? On occasion. But the cummulative effect was not.

  11. Emptiness and an intolerance to boredom are products of BPD. I fill my life with hobbies and friends and it helps to an extent but never so much as the rush that comes with something truly turbulent.

    my wife is the only person i feel this way about, past relationships always had a tinge of me getting what i needed..... this one, she gets me, and ive found value in that.

    i get bored easily, i drive fast cars.... but i keep the same one till it dies...

    i am faulty and fucked up as a human being ive learned that. it took a long time, that said if there was a cure for sociopathy i wouldnt come near it. i love my mind.


    my relationship is solid cause i get more out of it than ive ever been able to get out of another.... i love her cause ive wanted her for years. and still do, and she is just crazy enough to keep me entertained lol.

    William believes he is a high functioning sociopath, let's try to get inside his head.
    William defines high functioning as intelligent enough to see negative consequences of actions and staying out of trouble, and low functioning as a serial killer, robber, someone who does not see things as not being in their best interest.

    There was not just one moment of realization that he was a sociopath, instead starting at six, attempting suicide, thinking everything messed up. Taken to a psychologist, did not speak to others, little interest in having friends, involved in violence, always a bit different. At eight stabbed a kid in the hand using a scalpel, not thinking anything of it, or thinking 'why wouldn't I?'

    Given increased risk taking, substance abuse (he was an heroin addict), over-worker, etc. did that cause any health problems? No, only because good genetics, and luck, he says. Was self-medicating with heroin, grew up in the drug culture, reading, the ability to quit was directly related to my ability to disconnect due to my being a sociopath, I realized it is not in my best interest, he says.

    Did very poorly in structured school, was obsessed with learning, but did not do well. I have a very narrow focus and anything outside that is irrelevant to me, he says.

    Left home at a very early age. Told mom and step father that it was time to leave, at the age of 13, they laughed with disbelief but he left, and feels close to mom only because (she may not exactly be a sociopath but) she is the closest. Not that he calls her every week. They are out of sight, out of mind, not burdened with the emotion, 'if they are not OK, I'd hear about them, why bother calling often' he says.

    He is a business owner, has a compulsion to be the best he can be, refuses to be compared to other people, to prevent that he induces stuff so there is no way to even compare. He may be over-charging but that is ok; he is in the segment that is the top of the top and there is a challenge there and he charges accordingly, he is exceptionally good at it. 'I'd hire nothing but a sociopath,' he says. He does not worry about getting screwed, 'the only reason I'd worry is ego, because they'd be competing with mine,' he says.

    Ten and a half years in prison. A nonviolent crime that should have let him out in 18 months but he misbehaved in the prison. Was thrown in with the ultraviolent. Four of these years he kept fighting these guys. Then was considered a security threat, put in 4.5 years of isolated fashion. He learned to thrive in that environment, controlled an area of the prison and he was not even a gang member.

    He has two children that he says he loves. The psychologist says one difficulty the children of sociopaths may have is being neglectful or not giving the child autonomy. He is far more the care giver in the sense that he provides, there is a roof and food and micro-management, he says. A little bit micro-managing, engrained in him because he grew up on his own. Not give autonomy to anyone. His wife helps with arguing about things, stressful but helpful. The psychologist suggests that he figures out what would be the benefit to him in giving the children their autonomy? He says he does love his partner, was honest with her about his condition, he is doing his best in regards to understanding but 'as someone missing empathy my attitude is to fix problems rather than listen to them,' he says.

    Yes, sociopaths can kill, murder, rob, but they have to want to. There are sociopaths who just want to be left alone to run their life, they don't have violent desires.

    'William is bounced from all my theories,' the psychologist says. 'Social drive to prey on others is more important than lack of empathy or conscience. He does not have that prey instinct. This disorder is such a spectrum. People ask me 'Should I divorce my partner who has this condition?' That is not a question we can answer for you. How much damage is being done to you is what should really determine more than the diagnosis of your partner as a sociopath. This could be the best case for you, don't leave just because everyone else is saying you should.'

    @justabadpeny...
    Given socios don't like drama I find giving yourself the title of Just a Bad Penny quite dramatic.

    What is questionable also is your first take of killing yourself because you were different, that also is more dramatic than wanting to kill others.

    Why do you suppose you felt you should be the one punished? Or, did you feel the world was not a good/fun/interesting enough place for you to bother?

    This is the mistake I think most people make with sociopaths.

    They think that all of them are the same. They all are broken in the same exact way. They fail to see that all sociopaths are unique. All of them are broken in a different way, and some are worse then others.

  33. Humans and humanity broken, not just usJuly 22, 2011 at 6:41 AM

    I am under the impression that not only sociopaths, not only humans, but humanity in general is broken.

    Humanity has become narcissist because what is on paper and what is in reality is totally different. There is that narcissistic gap all around us. Top and bottom are too far apart, we need to learn to lift everyone up slowly but surely as opposed to exciting the bottom with the hope of reaching the top overnight while intoxicating/drugging them to make sure they can't function well. The school system is failing the sociopath who has a lot of potential. Need a different curriculum for every segment of every country.

  42. Erin: I don’t feel like I’m about to fall off the world, though occasionally I want to fling myself from it. With my narc-ex there was a sense of panic that my world would fall back to the maddening numbness without him, that the world would no longer be worthwhile without him. I always knew my world would continue to revolve but there was a sense of the anxious unknown and I couldn’t conceptualize of feeling whole or happy without this one thing that I wanted so bad or felt completed me. I may have been seconds away from annhiliation but it was dependent on him. Those were the times I wanted to escape or change or make things better. They spun me out and spun me down, and oh yes, I felt alive, but in a way that a drowning victim gasps for air and clings to the frantic feeling of living life as the currents are about to pull you under. I was never prone to hiding but I do tend to hermit and he pulled me out into the world.

    I learned my lessons. I’ll never be in that situation again. I am much stronger for having been through and surviving such a thing. Looking back I want nothing more than to snap his neck and spit on his grave.

    I’ve had theories of that yin/yang before as well.

  43. I find the use of physical violence as a way to control others, not efficient.
    Using psychological violence, fear, terror will make people also more aware in your presence, driving attentions to you.

  46. I don't know what this is about sociopaths not loving drama. I love dram and upset. I thrive on it and It gives me a rush. I kick up shitstorms for fun.

    I Do think that some sociopaths function at a higher level than others. But alot of the people here or who have been here, call themselves high functioning sociopaths because of the way they feel instead of the way they act. Being unemotional doesn't mean you're a sociopath. Some people make up their own version of sociopathy and then use the high functioning label to justify why they don't act much different than a normal person. Not everyone who uses violence is an idiot either.

    ReplyDelete
  47. In a household that is equal, you take and you give. If you can put fear into your partner, you have the gift of being able to take without giving.

    What good does it do to give back to others? It's a waste of time and money.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Well i live alone so.

    "How do you manipulate your environment?"

    It depends on the situation, i like the "good-hearted" people, i show kindness and am a giver, till they are so absorbed into thinking i wouldn't do anything wrong or bad, then i have got the advantage, and when i do, i take all i give back.
    Works pretty much like a busyness first you invest, then if you can run the busyness, you make profit.
    Of course i also use violence, it is just not my first option.

  79. this is the author of the post..it seems the anons that post don't know shit about sociopathy. socios don't connect even at a young age. they can be ostracized, teased, bullied and they don't understand what is different about them that they aren't like others...they can retreat further into their heads, their fantasy life, their outlet...whatever that is..clearly, socios are not one size fits all ...socios can have kids and yes, even care for them ..and socios that survive into adulthood can develop tools to not bring their worlds crashing down around them...not because they can't stand drama but because they have a vested interest in keeping things together...after rebuilding over and over, it gets tired and another trip back from zero gets harder and harder... i think the older a socio gets, a more adept they can become at using techniques they develop to have some stability.. they have been around long enough to know they are not impervious to serious consequences. if there is anything a socio is is a survivor, it is just stupid to keep creating drama cuz that chaos affects the socio, not just those anyone around them..it is in their own self-interest, it is calculated, it is smart.

  85. Not all violence is smart.

    It depends on the type of violence. There is controlled purposeful violence, and then there is uncontrolled impulsive violence.

    Controlled violence can make people bend over backwards for you. Unrestrained temper tantrums make you look like an idiot that needs to be thrown behind a cell with the key stashed away in some dudes pocket.

  86. mis..that was in response to some idiot anon saying that socios can't be bullied at school...as kids, no they don't understand why they are different...i think these are lonely kids, not robots..they may respond with violence, they may retreat inwardly..or both..but yes, they can and do get bullied...

    ReplyDelete
  88. I agree with you Jason. Not all violence is created equal.

    I've had to become something of a master of my temper in RL because unrestrained violence only works to destroy the goals I set out to accomplish.

    Some purposefully directed rage every now and again can be a greaet release though.

    ReplyDelete
  89. The word which is best for dissection from today's post is INTIMACY. Why do people assume intimacy is a feeling? How do those with skewed empathy systems experience intimacy? To this spectrum intimacy is a verb; an action. Think about it, any interaction with a close associate fits this description. Intimacy is not about kindness, it's about engagement.

    EVEN WARFARE. Especially sparing. Even fucking with people. Remember its done in association with others. Yesterday's antics was one big intimacy dance. Think about it . . .

    Smart people just know that there is a status quo which needs to be maintained at a certain level or the game is just a house of burning cards with you burning along inside it. The payoff for kind acts of intimacy is more enduring. And sometimes resting in pleasure is just more restorative than constant combat.

    And both pain and pleasure are just we call a relationship.

  90. Rage of TV who can't connectJuly 22, 2011 at 8:54 AM

    @haven

    The cost of that great release is the bunch who saw you in it and made up their minds accordingly.

    I know one brilliant gal who occasionally goes into a rage, who also gets startled very easily and screams out loud in public. Guess what... She needs to keep finding people who don't know her or retreat. Luckily a husband who does not give a damn and is focused in his own world can still put up with her bs.

    COntrol that stupid rage. Watch some chimpanzees go in rage to get a feel for how others see you when you are in rage. DOn't trust what you think you see on their faces when you go into a rage. It is not fear of you what hey have on their face it is that shock of seeing a human act like a chimpanzee and fear for where the humanity is headed.

  91. soulful...that was beautifully written but i don;t necessarily agree. yesterday was just a game..no one being real, slinging bullshit that really have nothing to do with what i would call intimacy. intimacy is a verb, your;e right but is is not engaging based on posturing and one-upsmanship. it is to me, feeling vulnerable to be real in the presence of another and know that to your core, you are accepted and loved.. no posing, no masks...it comes in moments...certainly we have to put masks on to deal with the world..but true intimacy is sharing your deepest darkest secrets, fears, fantasies and moments (or weeks) of crazy and someone accepting that as just part of the package...actually, not just accepting it, but embracing it..that is the action of true intimacy

  92. BETTE BLU, yes fuck the feminists. Once they are taken into emotional depths with a dominate lover, they would change their tune. Ever read the repetitive plot lines of romance novels. Bingo.

    JUST A BAD PENNY, listening to your wife regarding your children is not a loss of power, just slow ears to logic which you did not invent yourself. I praise your courage to be honest and uncover your blind spots. I think you have discovered you gain more power in this flexibility which is what you are seeking in the first place. And thriving, well adjusted children.

    And to the both of you. Keep the faith. Your living on uncharted waters. And at the same time you both embody a timeless story of love, survival and surrender.

  96. Sociopaths don't retreat inwardly. They externalize. If sociopaths are bullied they will respond violently. The lack of impulse control and the need for power gives them no choice. If they have a violent childhood they will be extremely prone to impulsive violence because that is what they've learned to use to obtain power over others.
    This is the main kicker here. There is no normal sociopath who is 'high functioning' walking around with edgey views and sarcastic speech. Sociopaths manipulate, have low impulse control, and their main focus is obtaining power over others. Those are inescapable traits.

  97. Justabadpenny, I have an ex-lover who claims he is lacks empathy. He also says he is a sex addict.

    He once told me that the crazier a woman is (psycho, think he put it ..hardee har har) the more attracted he is to her.

    I was "in love" with him, so I think. He told me years earlier he didn't want to hurt me when his boredom would eventually set in. Yep, an honest one.

    Now he says he should have married me because I have such low expectations from relationships, in general. Oh well.

    I've been round the block with lots of "selfish" men. I like them. I know how I am. I'm selfish too. I also need lots of space.

    Erin, you might consider using less commas when you write. It makes you sound like an imbecile. No offence.

  107. Interesting thread when it isn't being derailed. I am new to this blog but devouring it voraciously (no predator reference intended), as I am in a strange relationship with a sociopath.

    I am 20+ years older than him, but there was an initial physical attraction that has morphed into something more. Once I figured out what his issues were, the ebb and flow of the relationship all made sense. (I live in a Latin American country, and he is Latino, which I suspect made the seduction phase easier for him and more difficult for me, an empath, to spot--perhaps a topic for a separate post.)

    The fact that I'm onto him and can "spar" with him now, I think makes him more intrigued but sort of paralyzed too. He's not threatened by me, but he has told me he's never met a woman like me. I keep him on his toes, and he keeps me interested--a symbiotic (if a fucked up) relationship, but one I sense he trusts.

    At first, I was just attracted to him for casual sex, and him to me for... whatever his game was (I think relief from boredom, maybe sex and ego, too). I don't think either of us expected to discover what we did about each other. Only time will tell if it's interesting enough to him and satisfying enough to me to keep it going. I guess if winning is his overriding goal, he will move on to someone he can conquer. Frankly, I think he is contemplating how to up the ante with me.

    Anyway, that's the long version of saying I can relate to the topic and appreciate the honesty of the OP and her mate. Virtually every other source out there on the Internet paints sociopaths with one broad brush. Traits in common? Yes, many, but why is there such ignorance about the spectrum of disorder and its interplay with individual personality? Too much emphasis on B/W thinking and a desire to define "normal?"

She lives with her babys father and both spend atleast $100 on pot with her husband every other week.(got the information from a close friend of hers) She works at a factory and recently found out she's going back to school. She gained alot of weight and has low selfesteem. She's really shy, dark skin, about 5'6. I know where she lives and her landlord is her father's boss. The other is light, about 5'2, loud, immature. A huge slut but loves to play the good girl role. She started going back to school and I'm currently trying to find where she works at. She tries to embarrass people but is really insecure. Her family moved away and she stayed living with a family member. Now she lives with her boyfriend at her boyfriend mom's house due to some issues with the family member. She was really ugly when younger now she lost the glasses and thinks she can get anyone. I did notice her envy towards me and call her my shadow. She tries to do everything I do. So to get under her skin I would brag about anything and everything I could to make her feel like the worthless trash she is. Now I'm bored and need to do some real damage. e lives with her babys father and both spend atleast $100 on pot with her husband every other week.(got the information from a close friend of hers) She works at a factory and recently found out she's going back to school.

  132. im not a psychopath, i am a sociopath, and i think arguing over who is and who isnt is unentertaining. you have no clue of my history or thought process, ive been just like ukan, ive been silly in my threats, serious but ultimately silly. do the time in prison, see the horrors, then decide where you want to go, i now make lots of money, have a decent life where i can afford to act how i please, i live in a controlled environment where i get what i want out out of it.


    the whole point of this entire exchange was to give hope to the few socio's that want more than the norm for us, i have by my own code and control created my ideal. plain and simple. im not a 18 year old confused internet warrior, i am a sociopath looking to deal with the outside world on my terms but not doing harm to MYSELF ergo i do my best not to harm others cause i know better now after 30 years of practice

    I also liked the section how you would hire nothing but sociopaths. That made me laugh. I mean come on. If you had all socios you would have constant back stabbing and pissing matches all the time. They would all fuck with the numbers and try to take more. There is no way to have a group function if it is just sociopaths. We all want control of that group and are willing to fight for it. So you just have endless fighting.

    What about the white collar ones spoke about in 'snakes in suits'.

    I mean come on, one outburst in a corporate setting would be devastating to the socio.

    Imagine a worker came up to the corporate socio and disrespected him severely. How would he respond. We have to imagine that he has low impulse control.

    Would his natural affinity toward externalizing lead him to strike the worker? Think in terms of the biggest disrespect done to you.

    Fun. I enjoy it.

    relationships

    Well they are both friends.(many years) I want to separate them from echother. Then separate them from their boyfriends who they 'adore'. Also ruining their image to their families and friends.

    how?

    The first girl's parents don't know she smokes. They are very old fashion and close to her. Them being dissapointed and eventually cutting communication with her will crush her.

    Second girl being exposed to her boyfriend will get her dumped and homeless. Then her boyfriend(or most likely myself) will fwd the pictures to a few of her close friends. Causing embarrassement to the point of isolating herself completely or even moving. Then I'll take whatever in her bank account and ruin her credit.

    btw I'm currently in the prosses of ruining a guy for trying to mess with me. Got a few thousands out of him already. Will cancel his stupid gym membership(completely obssesed about). Everyone thinks he's a great kid with good morals but I found a few dirty secrets. The beauty of it I bumped into him at the beach last Sunday ha.

    ReplyDelete
  159. Kesu continue. What do you suggest I do to her father?

    ReplyDelete
  160. Here is the entire thing. You can fuck over both the girl and the dad if you go for the boss. I'm guessing the boss is an older man. I'm hoping for you about 50. That would be ideal. Basically you just need to get him under your thumb. The best way of course is sex. I'm guessing you are attractive and if he is older he will jump at a younger woman. I'm also assuming you are in your 20s. If you can start a romantic relationship with him you should be able to blackmail(I'm guessing he is probably married). You can get him to fuck with the daddy. That will be painful for the girl. If she is close. Of course you get him fired and her thrown on the street. Getting her kicked out will take some vandalism from you probably. Break a window put a hole in a wall. That way he can have reason to kick them out. Just an idea for yah.

  162. Thank you for your idea Kesu. And yes I am attractive but I usually get someone else to do the sex job for me. I can't afford my name to get a bad rep around here ;) I do find the 'offer money then take money away when you do the job' pretty effective.

Which is fucking ridiculously fun. That way you can be right there as they cry about their life going to shit and they don't know why.

    Also with the boss you can always just use a fake name. Getting someone to do something that goes against their very nature specially in older men has to do with a lot of accuracy. Also some gas lighting. If you do do it please keep me updated. I do so love story time.

    Moving on....

    @Reader
    I'm glad you and your husband decided to come forward with this. And despite the fact that there are many who only come here to spear their egos all over a public forum; I believe you picked the right place to tell your story.

    You have given me something to really think about, and possibly hope for myself. Coming from someone who has tried to deny my own diagnosis from the age of 16, when I felt I was too young for them to know for sure what I was.

    I've come a long way since then, but it's been a roller coaster of blind rage, and as one person who knows me well said: "Living life synthetically". I realize now that, as much as it kills my pride to admit it, the doctors of my youth, may have been right about me all along. And if I had listened to them sooner, and realized what made me tick; I may have tried to get my life under control before now. Maybe even understood what kind of partner I should have been looking for.

    I think you are truly a remarkable pair, and I solute you both for tailoring your life to get your needs met, on your own terms.
    Know that what you have will not be something we can all hope for... too much ignorance about disorders in general. But it does give a burning ember of could be.

  168. M.E. & Reader,

    in my experience most empaths want exactly that: For you to know them to the core.

    There're many levels in why it is so, some has to do with how they see love (or how love really is), some has to do with there being a special kind of safety or sense of security when you know your spouse always know what you feel and think.

    For me this has always been a central aspect of how empaths love me, and I like it that way too, of course. It's what I do, after all, it's part of gaining control.

    There is security in being controlled. That's why we often attract 'co-dependents'. I think they can be lovely!... '^L^,
