When romantic relationships are painful or seem to never last very long, it might be because one person is a psychopath and the other is the co-dependent victim. If you feel the pain, you are the co-dependent because a psychopath will not feel pain. They don't feel anything. For clarity, a psychopath, a narcissist and an addict are all closely related.
It's not unusual for a psychopath to also be an addict. A psychopath and a sociopath have very similar characteristics. For the sake of this article, I'm treating them both as psychopaths. I'm also lumping narcissists in the mix. All of them are selfish and destructive to your life. Their differences are really just a matter of degree. Psychopaths are far more common than you might expect. About 1 in 25 people are psychopaths. Many rise to positions of authority and power.
Psychopaths have the following characteristics: (This is a partial list, but you get the idea).
1.) No Fear.
2) No empathy for others.
3) Tolerates high levels of stress.
4.) Charming.
5.) Manipulative.
6.) Does not take responsibility for their actions or for the consequences they create.
7) Has no impulse control.
8.) Harbors criminal tendencies.
9.) No Remorse.
10.) Uses others and lives off them.
The only time a psychopath will apologize is when it will get them something they desire. When they hurt you, they will not apologize because they cannot experience remorse. They only apologize to establish control. Psychopaths do not change and they cannot be fixed.
Emotionally healthy men or women instinctively avoid psychopaths. Only someone who was parented by a psychopath will tolerate them. In fact, they will be drawn to them like a moth to a flame. Psychopaths seek out people who have been conditioned to accept their dysfunctional dance.
Unfortunately, people who have been parented by a psychopath are conditioned for the role of co-dependent. The co-dependent will unconsciously seek out the psychopath and revel in their charm. The co-dependent often has an addiction to the psychopath personality which makes escaping them a challenge.
If a person reared by a psychopath enters a room full of strangers, a psychopath will find them within minutes. This may not be a conscious behavior but both the psychopath and the victim seek the other.
A healthy romantic relationship is a beautiful thing because it enriches your life. If a relationship is continuously painful and based on lies, it is better to be alone. Contrary to romance novels and movie scripts, love does not conquer all. It cannot conquer addiction, abuse or neglect.
