Defending Yourself Against the Aging Narcissist (1) - Blog Entry

In retrospect, I look back at the 10 month relationship-going-nowhere and realize that the 50 year old man I was with met the criteria of BOTH mental disorders. At 11 he was sexually assaulted by an older women; although he doesn't see it as assault. I believe this was the beginnning of the emotionally void HPD disorder. Patiently I awaited any emotional expression of his feeling toward me (10 months,) then merely asked is he "cared" for me--he became extremely uncomfortable with my request--and two weeks later he dumped me "cold turkey" -- not a call, e-mail--nothing. I found him very entertaining at first--very upbeat and outgoing. Talked ALOT about his past experience and achievements--but again at first it interesting. He only took contract work and was without work the last few months of the relationship. Working on a get rich quick gas conservation car product. How do you swim clear of these types of sharks when at first they seem very intriguing?
