Are you struggling to heal from a toxic relationship, stuck in the mental fog of manipulation, gaslighting, and emotional drain? In this eye-opening episode of The Badass Comeback, we dive deep into Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD)—what it really is, how it wrecks your life, and the red flags you need to spot in future dates to avoid getting trapped again.

Join me as we break down the science behind narcissism: from the covert tactics like love-bombing and devaluation that leave you questioning your sanity, to the overt grandiosity that hooks you in. Drawing from real stories of men who've been there (including my own comeback journey), we'll expose the subtle signs—like constant one-upping, lack of empathy, or blame-shifting—that scream "run" before it's too late.

If you're post-breakup or divorce, feeling confused, isolated, or doubting your worth after narcissistic abuse, this episode is your roadmap out of the fog. Learn practical tools to rebuild your confidence, set ironclad boundaries, and date smarter—not harder. No fluff, just actionable insights to reclaim your power and thrive.

Key takeaways:

• NPD explained: Traits, causes, and why it's not your fault.
• Red flags in dating: From first-date charm to long-term control.
• Recovery tips for men: Breaking the cycle and spotting healthy partners.

Just when you're finally moving on after a brutal breakup or divorce, she reaches out. Your ex wants you back—or at least it feels that way. What do you do? Panic-text her? Take her back immediately? Or protect the progress you've made?

In this raw, no-BS episode, we dive deep into one of the most confusing moments men face after a breakup: when your ex comes back.

You'll learn:

• Why it's almost always a mistake to jump back in without serious boundaries (and how desperation kills attraction)
• The psychology behind why exes return—loneliness, regret, failed rebounds, or testing the waters—and how to spot genuine change vs. breadcrumbs
• Why walking away the most powerful move to rebuild your self-respect and flip the dynamic
• How to restart the romance properly if she truly wants reconciliation: slow rebuild, new frame, clear standards, and avoiding the same old patterns that led to the split
• Practical steps to respond when she texts, calls, or shows up—scripts, mindset shifts, and how to stay in control

Whether you're freshly dumped, deep in no contact, healing from divorce, or wondering if getting back with your ex is even worth it, this episode gives you the tools to make a strong, masculine decision that puts your growth first.

If you're tired of feeling stuck, chasing closure, or repeating painful cycles, hit play now. Stop wondering "what if she comes back?" and start knowing exactly how to handle it like a high-value man.

Share this with a brother going through it—real talk saves lives.
