I've been married to one for years, and now he is chronically ill and he has become Super Crazymaker! It takes huge efforts of will and self-protection not to step on the landmines they plant. Lately, after years of resenting my talking about people at work, he has just complained that, as his life is so dull, if I just talked about my day more and "stopped keeping things from him" he would be happier. I said, "You hate those stories!" He said "I never said that!" and "I have nothing to do all day, no one to talk to, the least you can do is share your life with me!" Crazy! Hi!

I said, “You hate those stories!” He said “I never said that!” and “I have nothing to do all day, no one to talk to, the least you can do is share your life with me!”
Crazy!

Hi Betsy, I hear ya! Since we can't change other people, we have to make different choices to avoid unsafe or crazy-making relationships. Hi Davina, I agree, and yet Dark Hearts know how to smoothly sucker you into their web so by the time you notice it is all just so much self-important drama and hype, -- not just personality -- you are likely to think it's your problem, not theirs.

Hi Davina,
I agree, and yet Dark Hearts know how to smoothly sucker you into their web so by the time you notice it is all just so much self-important drama and hype, — not just personality — you are likely to think it’s your problem, not theirs.

I've worked with people like this, but thankfully not directly. I've heard of them through chatter in the hallways. My mother (bless her heart) falls into this category; but she never downplayed our needs. The real challenge in dealing with these personality types is to not take things personally and to not get caught up in all their drama. Hi Lori.
