-
"When we show appreciation, they're more tolerant of our emotions, our ups and downs, our difficulties. But when there's zero appreciation, then when there's disrespect or there's lack of intimacy or lack of connection, that's when they start to give up. Not just on her, but give up as a person."
-
"We, it's not that we fall in love with people that hurt us the most. We fall in love with people who remind us the most of what we're used to feeling."
-
"I would say the only time you know you're dealing with a narcissist is when you think you're not with one and and never been with one."
