My ex had a "hobbie " playing darts.. He would put up dart boards all over the house throwing dangerous darts whenever he wanted to " practise" . He got put out because I insisted he remove the boards from the house for the garage. He didn't understand the rationale behind my decision and said I was controlling him.. Thank God I finally walked away from that moron . Gained my freedom and sanity. ❤

This blew me away. It was as if Danish sat quietly in a cupboard, in my house watching everything. My former abuser, kept myself and four children in poverty because of his hobbies. At the time the income was $900 a month. His hobbies were boating, building computers, building RC airplanes, each little engine for these airplanes was up to almost $300. He also had many snowmobiles and cars. The children and I were so poor, that in order to save money for school supplies, I would use worn out old face washes, stitched together to make reusable sanitary pads. 😩
He Spends His Best Energy On His Buddies or Random People Whoever as long As it Isn't Me. Then He Comes Home Saying "He's Too Tired, After We"ve Planned To Do Something and He Goes into His Room snd Sleep's . While i'm Standing There all Dreesed Up and Confused. Got the Kids Ready too, No Easy Feat. He Even Called me To Make Sure l Wouldn't Make Other Plan's That Day. He Loves To know There's People Waiting For Him. We"re Just Furniture To Him.
1. Bowling. Purchased Three, custom made bowling balls, gear etc. One summer then quit. 2. Mountain biking. I purchased HIM a $1,700 bike. He rode it ONCE. Sitting in garage collecting dust. 3. Compound archery. Fixed his bow. Purchased his son a bow. Used it twice. Now collecting dust. 4. Downhill skiing. Purchased Skis, Boots, poles etc. (on sale, thank fully.) I paid for lodging and lift tickets. Went ONE TIME. Shall I go on?

Thank you so very much for your insights and teaching.
the hobby of 'playing games' is real, and not only one where they play the games and make you take care of them. my abuser made me play the games with him. hours and hours every day, 'why won't you spend more time with me doing this, this is how we spend time together', until our entire apartment was flooded with hundreds of board games and there was no room for me. on top of doing all the other things for him, laundry cooking cleaning everything. 'what do you mean you can only give three evenings to this this week, don't you care? we have so many games to play!' WE?! I'm in graduate school! trying to get my PhD! it was hell and I still have trauma and cannot be around board gamers for long.

The problem is that they are very impulsive. So if they see something they like the have to get it (not thinking about if they are able to buy it). Also they are very self-centered - it is all about them. It is sad and bad!
My dad golfed on Wednesday and Saturday, bowled on Fridays, and could never be bothered to go to any school function of my brother and I. He wouldn't visit my mom or me in the hospital, when we needed him most. My mom took care of his mom when his mom became.ill. When he became elderly, he played with his trains all day in the garage and had my mom and I running circles to take care of the messes he made.

It's another example of everyone and everything else before you. People, pets, hobbies, inanimate objects... everything is a pawn for their supply. You see this before you even realize they are simultaneously manipulating the situation to make you feel terrible. They learn to master doing this, and by the time you break out of confusion, you don't know yourself or the world anymore. Your feelings are, and always have been, a game to them.
This hit so perfectly close to home. My bf and his CNC machine, OMG
They just Buy things without asking or take responsibility, or they put only your money to a project, cause they don’t “have any “???? Ohhhhh really,… so we’re supposed to think of them as children or a not committed person at all That’s poison to the relationship and a lonely process,Niobe dangerous as well
Wow spot on. First boat 13k, second 60k and maybe 15k modifications, third 150k and maybe 30k modifications, left and hid last yacht 450k , then evicted me, took the car even though he had a Mercedes, left me with zero. Sailed off with one after another. Need I say more. I like your videos Danish, you have a gentle voice and a brilliant way of describing the behaviour patterns that hits the nail on the head.

My ex narc collected boats too. He stole money out of our savings account for boat repairs. His father was also a narcissist, he bought an $18,000 boat without even telling his wife. He disclosed it on his deathbed and his wife had to learn about it from someone else.
Thanks Danish. This is so on point. Hobbies comes first before marriage or engaging with kids. It doesnt help that his own father has numerous hobbies. Mother is a "supportive" enabler. They justify it as a way of stress relief. Stress relief that is spent in front of a screen 6 to 8 hrs at a time. When reminded or asked to spend some quality time together. U get breadcrumbs.
Described my narcissist to a T.
Oh God. My Ex-Narcopath spent THOUSANDS on aquariums / fish / birds / COMPUTERS / GAMES & other women. I would have to beg for the bare minimum for our kids. I ended up having to siphon money away in secret for the kids and myself. I swear to god I am glad that I do not know the true extent of his 'hidden life' ..... I AM GLAD TO BE FREE FROM HIS BS.

I agree, mine is always out in his garage . Worked 5 years on a car. Before that a motor cycle from ground up. Constantly on the internet searching for parts ,..forever ! Gets it half built, sells it ! I can go on and on. But he tells me I need a hobby. Once I would start spending all my time in the computer like he did, I would hear about it. And I know he would mention the money spent. So I don’t bother. I have 3 pets and I bird watch and spend enough money just on that . I gave up 7 years ago . Then when I tell him we have grown apart he gets all flustered !!
Unfortunately I have to bear all these things before😢but after leaving him i got my life back again.
His hobbies were hunting and fishing. His biggest love was boating but before meeting me hed already racked up debt for speedboats. So from being with me, he finally listened to his parents lessons and became fiscally responsible. But since we both worked FT shifts, we had few days off together. When they occurred hed booked a hunting trip with his buddies or a fishing day. So nothing we could do together. I spent my days off maintaining the home, washing both of our uniforms, dog care, mowing the lawn, and since we lived in a tiny remote town, meal prep to freeze for daily meals while working. I saw him buy himself stuff at will without discussion, but as long as it wasnt outrageous i couldnt complain since he had a good paying job, as did i. I worried about how it would go with children.
Boy you hit the nail on the head. Lost my condo, almost pd. Rent to own. Did the many /change car thing , got evicted i paid for everything he was supposed ti be paying rent, not. Did it next place and next place. Played drum's,oh never gonna play again , sokd gave away. Then had to get new, most expensive cymbals....and it continues....pray for me, hoping he gets ssdi so is not homeless, cant handle much longer. Waiting, waiting.
Yep. I had a family member who controlled the money I had and when things got broken he said "I don't know" what to do about it. And he didn't care about fixing the things and left me to suffer. I was crying on the couch one time and he just was doing his own thing as though nothing was happening.
My Narc would spend hours in the garden and didn't help with inside the house. When I confronted him he blamed me for "non stop complaining"
love is to witness beauty hate is to witness ugly
You always do such a wonderful job of illustrating the narcissist's behavior in certain circumstances.
He had the mentality of a 16 yr old on his Best days. Yes, every weekend & holiday he would go out with his friends, get drunk, wreck cars, get thrown in jail & it was ALL my fault. While this was going on, He had already isolated me from all my family & friends. I wasn't allowed to go to the grocery store by myself. When I left, I never looked back. He lost his fuel supply & was furious because of it😂 & according to him, I divorced him for No reason.
...so True...
Oh yes my narc mother became extremely manipulative when I left her house at the age of 19. From that moment on, if I called her to ask how she was, the victim game was endless, and the demands for money and expensive items (jewellery, car, house) were ever-growing.. whatever I gave her, which was almost all my money, was never enough and even riduculed for being too little.. She threw comments like "Even prostitutes make more money than you!" .... unbelievable

Every thing u mention so true. Wish i had more knowledge before. But now i am back on my feet.
They see the money we spent on hobbies and think that money should be going into their pockets instead of our happiness
My ex narc collected boats. Would steal money from our savings account for repairs and upgrades. I don’t like the water and get seasick easily. I’m sure he was very happy to take his boat out on the weekends without me. I am sure he used his boat for his affairs (his other hobby). He also bought a house without telling me. It was part of his exit plan.
My ex narc husband had wierd hobbies that he used to abuse me!! I'm so GRATEFUL Danish is spreading awareness!!❤
Spot on Danish. You have nailed it. Exactly the case!
Substances, hunting/fishing (ghosted for that constantly), and side chick.
All of this is so true.
Very spot on the particular hobby for gardening ❤he said that I am coming frm garden so you have to welcome me by making tea and cold drinks etc ,thank you for validating me Danish❤
Oh my God yess brother my parents were always taunting us by saying what other's children done for their parents ....but they starts shouting and getting jelous when ever it's comes to others parent's sacrifices for thr children
One interesting hobby was watching tv movies. He had to have Netflix, DIRECTV, and all the paid subscription tv services. I just had to correct my Freudian slip - instead of subscription I put down prescription! And that’s really what it was. It put him in a beautiful fantasy land. It meant that I could not talk to him from the time he came home from work until he went to bed after midnight. and it took up every bit of money I would have been able to use on things that I needed - food and clothing.
Spot on! My narc husband narc Co worker did not like his wife working. He spent over 6k on some exotic hunting trip. He spent over 10k on guns Sad part is his wife was meek and shy, she got caught stealing $ from the company she worked for. Think she spent 1 year in jail. I think she stole $ out of desperation. Clothes for their kids, food, car payments! I know for a fact he was bad with $ money b/c this guy got my husband to co-sign a car loan before we dated. My narc husband got angry at me b/c I said his friend should never have asked you to do that. I had him do it a credit report and payments were missed. I felt empathy for his wife. She had old clothes and looked so beaten down. This was the same friend who told 3k out of my husband's truck. His friend blamed my son at the time in HS! My son had no idea he had money in his truck and was very angry being accused before being asked first. My son was rarely even home. The co worker got fired to stealing down the road. Be careful if you're with a Narcissist many times they have buddies that are narcs on top of the family full of them. To many narcs !
You are so right that I became so afraid
All CORRECT
I was married 29 years to this. He, at the end was an IRONMAN TRIATHLETE. Ended in divorce...quite ugly. He had $87,000 in credit card debt plus had used my credit to purchase a motorcycle without my knowledge. I did everything during the marriage to try to salvage "us" to no avail. There's no appeasing these monsters. Believe me, because on the very last day, he chased me out of my home with a shotgun. That's how addicted he was to his "passion."
I have never seen such devils before marriage but after marriage I got this devil character person as husband what to do this narc are making there partners to live heal throughout their life.
He has made me totally depressed 😢
The real question to keep in front of them, or statement, rather, is this: you don't like it here? There's the door. You're excellent at going out of it. But obviously you're not good at making friends, otherwise, they'd take you in from such horrible conditions, as I'm sure you've spewed out of that lying mouth. Thanks Danish!!
on point 🔥
Yup, he put a motorcycle on the Joint credit card. Since his name came first (. actually I wouldn't recommend a joint credit card with anyone. I was too trusting) I couldn't stop the charge. Don't wanna talk about the medical bills with all of his injuries. I know I shouldn't say this, but I still feel felt sooo stupid. ,He totalled 2 cars too, So when he died, I'm now vehicle-less. I really don't know what to do now, even 2½yrs after his passing. I wish I could pay to get this beautiful mans therapy / help, but I'm struggling financially and kinda messed up in recovering from all of this abuse. I still hope I can find my way in life!
So i build my schedule around my wife. Because to me she's the bees knees and I only do that because she has a hard time making lots of friends. And taking time for herself and her own hobbies. Or make hobbies. I would be fine with just her. So I had Mondays as dedicated three hours of gaming with my out of country brother. and Fridays only if she and I had nothing planned. And Sunday mornings for my rec football team. Every other day after work I'm with her unless she's busy. In which case I can always figure out something to do and I'm always careful not to be too loud or anything because I want her to feel at peace and find herself. Now she's not working for three months on sabbatical but I'm starting two new roles simultaneously and learning them both and still finding time to do anything I can with her because to me she's my why. So no matter what on those other nights from 7 to 11 or midnight I'm hers. I stay up later to work after she goes to bed. I'm up by 5 am to gym and clean the house and make sure she would have coffee but I don't know when she's waking up so I just leave it there. And tell her it's all prepped and I want it to be hot for her so I stopped bringing it bed side while she's asleep. I honestly want to know am I a narcissist. Whether If I am or not isn't what I'm after here I love her and I just want to know what I was doing wrong. I was trying to make it work for her and though it was a strain on me. I'd do anything for her. We're a team and I tell her all the time I trust you I don't trust other random people so your safety is what matters and your thoughts are what matters. But I know myself after multiple concussions and overdoing it with not sleeping. It affects my mental performance so anytime up until 1030 at night I'll be fine. But anytime afterwards my energy level drops. But I'm still here for you. Building for us. You don't have to ask me for anything because I trust you always are doing what is best for us. You can explain it if you feel that you need to. Like if it was like you went and bought a 5k bag with no ROI okay then. But if you're running a business and working and you need funds and you have the ability to pay it back within the calendar year without it ruining US. You don't have to ask. Do what you got to. Am I wrong If I am please tell me I want to help me I want to be better I want to do what I can for both her and I.
I exercised! My Ex used my money to pay the bills then tried to say we and if I had to ask for what I wanted and they never did ask for my opinions on spending..
90s skateboards and stealing my hobbies and identity. He also pretended he was a dj but it was "too easy"
Empaths are honest and trustworthy, flip the script on the narc ! They are gullible and will BELIEVE YOU!! Tell them you need a root canal ! Thats like 1,500. Easy to say your dental does not cover it all, better yet you don't have dental insurance! Dont feel bad b/c they turn honest people into liars BECAUSE they can't handle the truth and to busy lying to you!!! They will pull the rug underneath your feet about money when you lose your job or get sick!
Awesome
What is a kitchen garden?
My ex never had a hobby but drinking beer and looking at social media was his hobby and also gossiping on the phone like a woman. He never sat down to watch TV but he will listen to music loud in my own house because the only person who's meant to be happy, should be him and no one else. They are selfish to the core. Empty vessels constantly needing a fill but forever Empty. Glad I walked away 😌. Good riddance to bad rubbish

I had a Ex girlfriend who always talked my hobbies down. saying things like. Oh artists are just soo weird. How could I even date a Artist, you just always soo sensitive blabla. Meanwhile I did everything in m power to encourage her, to do what she loves to do. She loved to write books, so i listened to her readings and poetry. While I made her feeling good about her hobbys and talents, she shamed me for mine.
