With all the uproar over Arnold Schwarzenegger and his “love child,” our friend Ann over at WomenExplode.com just wrote about her own experience of a cheating husband.

How to recognize and recover from everyday sociopaths - narcissists
Sky you are a very intelligent woman-go back and read my post and you will see clearly why Mildred’s immigration status triggered me ok?
I am backing off from this drama. Good night.
.
I don’t know the whole story because I don’t watch TV. But from what I hear they were actually very happy together. She looked happy in all of her appearances and pictures, and so does he. I don’t know all the particulars. I have no idea how he could live a double life. Like I said, politicians and actors develop an inflated sense of entitlement from being corrupted by power. Neither you nor I know what that feels like. I do not think being a womanizer makes a man a spath. Many men are like that or at least wish they could be if they were good looking and powerful enough. I’m sure she knew he was a womanizer because I remember when the story came out about him trying to grope that woman. Spathology has a genetic component. If you think every man or woman who cheats or behaves badly is a sociopath, born with the spath genetic code, then – to me – that makes for a very paranoid view of society where the majority of people are evil. I don’t see the world like that. I think most people are good, but that everyone is misguided once in a while. And people in certain circumstances can become corrupt and make poor choices. And then some are blatantly evil.
I was a private stripper for two years. In that time I went into hundreds of private homes, offices, and hotel rooms. In all that time I only encountered one guy who was very manipulative and lying to the point where I believe he was a spath.
I also have dated about 40 men in my life (from casual to serious). Of all of those, only one was a spath – the one I came here over.
I think if you are on a mission to make everyone a spath, you will find the spathiness in everyone. I’m sure there are people here who think I’m one too.
Ox, a question before I retire for the night. What does this mean on a post?
.
just curious as I see it a lot on LF.
Thanks!
ar – it means that the poster has deleted their post using the edit feature – since we have to leave one ‘letter’ in the post it is the period that usually gets left.
Star,
Glad I didn’t piss you off. 🙂
Ok, lets forget womanizing because it seems to be tainted by the idea that men just really love sex and women and can’t resist temptation.
So lets say, he stabbed his best friend and business partner in the back. He told his friend that they could make lots of money and be happy, they drew up an agreement, as to who would do what etc… and they signed it. But Arnold continued to cheat on the agreement, over and over again, siphoning money from the partnership all the while pretending to be the partner’s best friend – the better to fool the partner, of course.
My spath did this to many of his business partners and I believe he even killed several of his “friends”.
It isn’t the dirty deed that makes a spath, since we all are tempted to cheat or get the better end of the deal. It’s WHO and HOW the spath chooses to cheat that defines the spath. The spath will get up close and personal, invading your emotions, in order to do his cheating. He isn’t the average con artist, conning strangers, instead he deals in the emotional realm and destroys those who would lay down their lives for him. That’s what defines a spath to me.
AR,
I’m sorry you were triggered. I think that Mildred, if her parents had raised her in the US, and she was wealthy, she would still be filled with envy. Her target would have been different, but her behavior the same.
My reason for being on LF is to learn about the behaviors and distill the common elements so that I can understand it better and protect myself from the spaths that ARE everywhere.

I hope you don’t mind Ox, but I am going to put my two cents in. I think it means the end! Get it…a “period” indicates the end of a sentence…like done…end…I’m out…
Ooops, guess I was wrong about the period thing…haha…sorry!
Nah, i love a good debate!
So, Sky, did Arnold do that? Stabbing his business partner in the back? From what I read, he was mainly a womanizer.
