I'm happy it helped you! That's two positive outcomes because telling the story and having reciprocity helps me process it. I'm only 8 mos out of the relationship and 4 mos no contact, so it's still fresh. The therapist says it usually take about a year to recover. Anyway, enough about me; back to you. We can all get "poor me" at times, and the fact that you have self-awareness and even care about how you affect our husband is a pretty good sign you're not a covert narcissist...unless of course, your post was to gaslight ๐คจ jk! ๐ I 'm don't think you are gaslighting a random stranger on the internet by having a mutually beneficial with them. I'm trying to be humorous, so pls let me know if I am coming off as rude.
