0:00.0 | What's it like dating a sociopath? I had a friend who married one. There were no warning |
0:06.2 | signs. From my perspective, he was genuinely a decent guy. Had a sales job and I do sales, so we got |
0:12.8 | along. Then it was seriously the night of the wedding he got really controlling. It was like |
0:17.1 | a light switch flipped. They went on their honeymoon the next week and she called me halfway through thinking she had made a mistake. She said he just picked at her for saying the |
0:25.3 | wrong thing and his idea of the future made her sound like a slave. I didn't think too much about |
0:30.5 | it. A lot of people have fights on their honeymoon. She got pregnant like a month into it. Then he |
0:35.3 | moved her back east so they could live with his mom, |
0:38.3 | even though he was supposed to be making a lot of money. She quit calling me much after the wedding. |
0:43.4 | I assumed it was a newlywed plus baby planning thing, so I didn't think too much about it. |
0:48.3 | Then we noticeably drifted, and I didn't know until years later that it was because he got mad |

1:11.8 | to him. She realized he wasn't good to her, but she couldn't stop going back to him. She described |
1:17.6 | him as both the best thing and worst thing in her life when she was with him. Oh, he was a classic, into |
1:24.2 | animal torture and stuff like that. The way he got to talking endlessly about |
1:28.2 | animal torture was by pretending he felt bad for it, and looking for sympathy. Like, |
1:32.6 | I can't believe I did that. I feel so bad. He kept mentioning it so much. He thought it was |
1:39.0 | funny when me or the baby had pain. At one point he told me that it was so long ago that by now, I should also think |
1:45.2 | it was funny that he had gotten my blood and my pieces of flesh on him. He said that me having |
1:49.8 | empathy was proof that I was mentally ill because empathy doesn't exist. You just learn in your |
1:55.0 | teens that there's consequences for being bad to other people. He also said that nobody cares |
