The ridiculous mind games of a narcissistic lover

By Stanley Collymore

If as you say you’re reciprocally in love with someone and

additionally an quite ostentatiously make that personal

declaration of yours well known, why then do you

feel it incumbent on you and therefore necessary

too to demand of that allegedly special person

an unqualified explanation of, if and why it

is that that particular individual still loves

you? Since reciprocation, the noun form

of the adverb reciprocally that you’ve

openly and freely used in relation to this supposedly

special person, unquestionably means that you and

whoever it is that you’ve partnered with have of

your own volition voluntarily embarked on the

relationship you’re sharing. Which prompts

the obvious question then, and not least so

from the concerned perspective of this

involved person as well as the uneasy

opinion of anyone who’s vaguely in

the least interested in this clearly

narcissistic discourse that you

are pandering to about your

love; what the precisely is

it you’re trying to prove?

Author’s Comments:

Yes! There are sadomasochists involved in practically every aspect of everyday human life: persons wholly lacking in self-worth, devoid of any noticeable acquisition or demonstration of commonsensical behaviour much less so discernible intellectual acumen but, all the same, whose activities, both individually and collectively, can and do cause irreparable harm to those whom they overtly or even surreptitiously indulge their brainless, self-dependency leanings, wanton and avaricious yearnings along with their pernicious activities overall, gratifyingly with.

Personal indulgences you might say; and therefore are perfectly permissible among consenting adults in the privacy of their homes or private lives and certainly alright within the environs of a vibrant and progressive democracy and its objectively thinking and pragmatically practising citizens, in relation to what other people quite lawfully do with their lives inside that that country; and I wholeheartedly agree.

However when demented sadomasochism combines, I believe, with compulsive control-freakism, that’s altogether a wholly different matter regardless of what society that they emerge in and manage to ingratiate themselves in. For I firmly believe that in such vile and threatening situations they mustn’t, with their undercurrent of moral and societal aberrations and their attendant consequences, be so easily, glibly and broad-mindedly be accepted much less so encouraged.
