I have been in a 30 year relationship with a narcissist and we are going through a divorce. I served divorce papers in February and in June left for the third and final time, getting my own apartment and I love it. My husband has been living in the house my parents built and I've lived in nearly my whole life. He is living there alone and paying bills. He wants me to sell the house and split the profits. I want him to take the IRAs and leave me the house without selling.
We got together a week ago and had sex for the first time in a long time and I agreed to sell. He went out of town and I realized I was crazy to sell such a wonderful property I could rent out and keep. Instead of talking to him about it, I packed up all his stuff in the car and basically told him to hit the road. He's been a wonderful father and provider and now I can't believe I did such a harmful thing to someone.
I am a kind, and loving teacher, parent and friend. Am I using spiteful boundary issues and trying to hurt this man? I don't want to get back together, but not handling this in an adult manner either. When I try to say what I want, I feel manipulated, so I quit trying to negotiate as I know I will never win an argument with him.
Am I crazy? I have been listening to spiritual, doing yoga, meditating and going to therapy and everyone thinks I'm healthy, plus I'm writing a book and finishing a PhD, so how I can do something so overtly mean and aggressive to someone I love?
