In this podcast “Getting Past Love,” I delve into the challenges of moving on from relationships with individuals who exhibit cluster B personality traits. I focus on my personal experiences of disappointment rather than heartbreak. Reflecting on my disillusionment with my partner, a covert narcissist, I emphasize the absence of genuine love and the toxic dynamics that characterized our relationship, where loyalty was expected from me but never reciprocated.

I share my journey of self-discovery and empowerment as I worked to overcome the feelings of obligation and fear that kept me in a one-sided relationship. In that dynamic, I often felt more like a source of supply than an equal partner. As I confront the painful process of letting go, I acknowledge the lack of love and affection in my marriage. I realize that holding onto the relationship only harms my happiness, and it’s disheartening to see how my spouse views our bond as disposable, highlighting the emotional distance that has developed over time.

I also discuss the challenges of finding supportive resources for those of us dealing with emotional trauma related to cluster B personality disorders. I’ve found that most help is available online, and I encourage others to seek out support communities to share their experiences. Overall, my podcast underscores the complexities of loving someone with a cluster B disorder and the vital importance of recognizing unhealthy dynamics for our personal growth and healing.
