The parasitic existence, a financial predator
This is a full-blown parasitic existence. A man like this is a financial predator. He grooms others to provide for him while he does nothing but indulge in his comfort. He prioritizes convenience over responsibility. And no matter how much money is earned, it’ll never be enough because his financial incompetence is not about a lack of money because you earn it is about his absolute refusal to contribute, care, or be accountable.
The other crazy thing about this broke narcissist is that he will guilt-trip you into fixing his life. Let’s say he has taken a big loan; you will pay it off for him. You will get his car fixed. You will get him a house. His life will start running once you enter it. What do you expect a person like this to feel toward his savior? Gratefulness? “I am so thankful for you. You saved my life.” That is what you would feel, wouldn’t you? But in this case, it is the opposite. He feels vengeful. Punitive. Why? Because his shame drives him to rage and destroy this very person who fixed his stuff. Because his shame and insecure self drive him into raging and destroying the same person who brought him back to life financially speaking.
So, he becomes resentful. He becomes jealous of your job, your skills, and your money-earning abilities. He does not like it when you get recognition. He does not like it when people praise you. He will make sure to put you down even when he is worth nothing. He does nothing, but he will try his best to take that credit away from you. He will do everything possible to make others think he is running the house, and that he has his own business running. That is what is told to other people. If they ask him, “What do you do?” “Oh, I have launched a startup, and it is a work in progress.” But in reality, he does nothing. He just sleeps, eats, and abuses his family.
Breaking free, the path to survival
If you recognize this pattern in your life, my dear survivor, understand this: this man will never change. He will never wake up one day and decide to be responsible. The only way to stop this cycle is to remove yourself from it. Do not let his victimhood, his tantrums, his guilt-tripping, or his emotional theatrics trap you into a lifetime of servitude. Your financial well-being, your children’s security, and your peace of mind depend on breaking free from the grips of a man who will take everything from you and still act like he is the one who has suffered the most in this relationship.
This isn’t just cheap man syndrome, as I said. This is destruction disguised as dependence, and the only way to survive it is to see it for what it is and walk away before it is too late.
