Victims of Psychopaths Community Group
Is he or she a sociopath or psychopath? Think we're only talking about serial killers here? Psychopaths, sociopaths and even narcissists come in every walk of life, every career level, and every socio-economic category.
Although I truly believe I am moving on, for some reason, last night I had a hard time sleeping. I just couldn't get this topic out of my head...I'm wondering if it is: a) A normal reaction for the N/S/P to call you names like the one above after you confront them about a lie they were telling (I was called "jilted" when I was 12 weeks along in my pregnancy after I caught and exposed him in a lie about another woman), and b) How did you heal from the name accusation? I never told my ex that I was in love with him but, at the time, we were working on our relationship (so I thought but it was all part of his game--I get that now).
I'll keep it brief but am interested in your thoughts...I just don't know if it's common to be called such things or isolated to my situation.

Manyrivers: I never heard the word "slag" before and had to look it up. What a jerk!!!! It's unbelievable the lengths that they will go to. It's ironic that grown men like to spew such derogatory names. Several of us seem to have one thing in common, it is that our exs had a lot in common: they were the players, male whores, and, in some cases, misogynists . . .
I agree they are definitely misogynists to an extent (the more successful and outgoing the woman, the more that hatred inflames) but I don't think the animosity they feel is just directed at women, I think a better term to describe them would be misanthrope (hatred of all humanity)
Manyrivers: I have learned something new. I'm so sorry to hear that you were called such a vile name. Your ex definitely went for the jugular!!! My N/S said something similar about a female colleague of mine (who I was friends with and he barely knew). She was anything but what he said... One of the nicest most professional women I know. They can be so vile!!! So much projection....Misanthrope is definitely a better term. The irony is that they seem to be the ones normally sleeping around with everything and everything...
No more lemonade detoxification. I will try to remember that he was not human. The man I thought I knew was a farce. His past words will not matter to me. (repeat)
