How many of you find having an adult conversation with someone locked into the narcissistic program difficult?
Impossible, maybe?
Yes.
Same here.
Tonight, I was cooking dinner and in he came, asking if he could do anything for me.
"Learn to cook like I do," I said, half joking, to which he said, "not going to happen."
In all seriousness.
I paused what I was doing at the same, which was making a salad, and said, "you could if you really wanted to" and returned to my prep-work. He goes back outside, then moments later returns and has this to say:
"How about if YOU go out and HUNT the way I do?"
I looked at him, confused and said, "you haven't hunted in over 30 years."
"I'm talking about the hunting I do every week. You know what I'm talking about," he said, in all seriousness.
Hmm. I do?
Lightbulb moment.
"You mean peg hunting - when you go out looking for hot wheels?" I asked incredulously.
"Yes," he said, again in all seriousness. "I'd like to see you do that!"
All I could think of was OMG I am talking with a little child. How on EARTH could anyone over the age of 5 compare going out in search of select hot wheels and MAKING A MEAL FOR THE FAMILY EVERY NIGHT?
Apparently, this entity standing in front of me.
"How do the two compare?" I asked. "One is a hobby and serves only you. The other provides nourishment for the entire family."
His response?
"I can feed myself."
🙄😕
I returned to checking on the meal in the oven, shaking my head while *fantasizing what it will be like when I can have a real conversation again with a man.
Because it isn't happening here.
M.E.

*It WILL happen because I WILL be free. And with your support of my work here, you can help me achieve that. Thank you!
