Interesting opinion on triangulation I just thought it was just about getting control

Sounds accurate. My ex is scrambling on how to relate to me now that I squashed the dynamic. Truth is, I always was more functional and steady than him, but I grew up being accustomed to accommodating someone else’s ego by being…“digestible?” “Flexible?” “Accommodating?” Anyway, now he still creates situations to where I am interfering with him making adult decisions that do not require my involvement at all. It’s crazy.

This! They try to parentify you. I had a grown adult 40 year old woman ask me compare herself to me about the attention I get at Walmart because I got my hair done. It was so cringe and embarrassing it felt like I was talking to a child. It’s very creepy and once you see it because they are trying to regulate themselves through you, if you trigger their inferiority complex you are going to be the target of their childish antics. These ppl cannot stand to be around confident and attractive, mature people.

Is it possible they view wanting to be understood by them as wanting to control them? Cus I had this issue alot in my last relationship

Is it possible for someone to present extemely mature professionally and to the public while being immature in romantic and familial life. My ex was a psych nurse, well spoken, seemingly knew how to navigate difficult situations. But when it comes to her personal life accountability, truth telling, conflict repair, confrontation, etc was juvenile. I wonder if the difference lies with masking, perfectionism, power, and validation with the public?

And that becomes their blind spot over time. No sense of foresight.

This toxic dynamic has been so hard for me to describe and you voiced it so well. These observations are incredibly helpful

Yup that’s why psychopaths find narcissists extremely vulnerable and easy to manipulate

This is after they try to parentify their s.o., in my opinion. In my previous relationship, I found myself telling my ex I wasn't his mother over and over again, and eventually he just leaned heavily into abuse.

It’s so much work trying to control everything so you feel safe, it’s too much work and not possible.
