I'm a sociopath and I've been dating this narcissist for two years. I've essentially funded his life for him during this period, which I'm fine about (I'm very wealthy) and he has usually been rather pleasant.
Unfortunately, he has recently turned rather abusive, which amuses me, to be honest. Why bite the hand that feeds? He claims that I starve him financially and that I am forcing him to consider male escorting and pornography as means to get out of his dire financial situation which make me laugh like nothing.
He's four years older than me - I myself am only 20. He has a Law degree, but no work ethic in finding a job (he does, however, run his own company but doesn't draw a salary from it).
He's threatened to leave me, but never acted on it. So I pulled the plug 3 days ago and left him. He wasn't expecting it and I ended up with 25 text messages, 3 voicemails, and 10 missed calls.
He has gravely disappointed me. I don't care about the finances, I just care about the abuse he throws at me. Well, not really, but you know what I mean? I can't tolerate it. I need to beat him down and show him who's really in charge, but I'm not quite sure how yet.
I'm not exactly concerned about losing him, but he is a rather valuable play thing and I do enjoy his company. In my own way, I suppose I love him in that consuming and selfish fashion sociopaths love with.
He provides me with a source of supply I can't get anywhere else -- he is conventionally attractive and rings me every day. The attention is pleasing, although ultimately manipulative... but I do it willingly because it's fun to pretend to be submissive and get leverage over someone.
What would you do in this situation? Most empaths say leave, but I'd quite like to keep him, and I want to know what another sociopath would do.
