Summary

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Loren shares her story about being in perfect relationship for six years until she got a gut feeling that something was off. When Loren brought this feeling up to her partner, he admitted to having an affair and felt entitled to do so. From this point forth, the partner that Loren knew didn't exist anymore, and an emotionally abusive one took his place. It’s a story of isolation, double lives, bullying, betrayal trauma, non-apologies, criticism, humiliation, rage, lies, disrespect, mind games, gifts as weapons, mind reading demands, infidelity, moving goal posts, and much more.
