I'm dealing with this an an independent contractor valued by my client company boss, but an outside consultant consistently undermines my work… trying to gain power and edge me out of a job. Other consultants have approached me about this individual advising what this person is doing and saying to others about me, when I already experienced his covertness. Currently my approach is charging a 65% interference fee on top of my monthly bill, to cover my frustration and any additional medical needs, until I move on from the client company. Definitely a crazy maker. Client boss wants me to work with this crazymaking consultant, I don't. Client boss doesn't see the issue, I do. Terminating my client would be career and financial disaster at the moment until I complete this particular assignment in a couple of months and charge the ongoing interference fee. But it definitely is abuse in the workplace. Thanks for the clarification of overt and covert. Change is a coming – either for me or my client company!

Be very careful when violating/abusing a person covertly. When the person exposes you & heals publicly, I almost guarantee that it’s not going to evoke the same humor. Laugh track anyone? 😂

@iamjustsaying4787 says:

Rather than blow up the retirement fund and divorce he has opted for anxiety medication. It’s helps. For him the motion to stay on them is how much better his career is going on them. But him trying to be nice after 34 years just comes off as creepy.

@pearl4475 says:

Yesterday was a pretty bad day for me. I had a memory of when my son was young and it instantly became a memory of how my narcissist has just ruined my whole life. Very disparaging not to even be able to have a purely happy memory. 😢

@donaldhunt6225 says:

What about Dr Jeckel and Mrs Hyde?

@elderberry63 says:

Helpful information. But putting everything in the male towards female tense, just provides proof of how gyno centric and misandric the therapy and counseling paradigm is in western societies. Men are silently enduring this abuse from their female partner with no where to turn, and no one who even thinks that it is possible. Dr. Why don't you delve into the suicide rate for men in the US. Why don't you talk about the epidemic levels of women who have been abused as children, who are now abusing others with impunity. Female teachers who sleep with minors, while marriage, are not exsposed, nor held accountable for statutory rape, or thw fact that a huge percentage of them also abuse their husbands. Instead social and mainstream media hail them as strong independent modern women. How about you create some gender specific content about that? RANT OVER!

This is soooo spot on ,,where are the videos that tell you what he wants ?Yes the covert narc husband stonewalls,gaslights,withholds,passive aggressive but what does he want ? 31 year’s married I am haveing a affair with his best friend ,is that what they want ?

@rafet744 says:

I am going through that

@Twany1954 says:

I love your pictures on the wall, they are unique and really cool!😎

@Twany1954 says:

I betcha that’s why his grandma is so quiet. He lives there. We never lived together.🤡👈🏻

@natalielorena6597 says:

Interesting as the narcissist abuser i just escaped was nicknamed Jekyll & Hyde by his mother, as a kid 😮
I am visualing him as a soul sucking zombie and i cant waste another breath from my lungs trying to make him see his problems. I have to find the strength every day to be a nurturing mother and I'm dying inside.

@bethm7701 says:

I am wondering about this dynamic being present due to undiagnosed ADHD, learning disability and ASD. It seems the covert behavior and emotional neglect is learned behavior from trying to manage symptoms and also a lot of denial that it is in fact as bad as it is on a personal level since he is able to maintain the mask in public and career. There is diagnosis and medication going on 2 years now but still very little self awareness even with counseling. Progress is very slow; if real at all. I am still getting blindsided often. I’m exhausted and used up. Is the continued “symptoms” a sign that he isn’t committed to fully managing and taking responsibility for his diagnosis yet. And is it unfair for him to expect me to endure just because he has a diagnosis?

@jacklynwardlow says:

Thank You! I am leaving my covert emotionally abusive relationship. And I needed to strength to see what I see… you nailed ALL his traits, he’s not violent but he is NOT the guy he appears on the outside
