usually quite badly.
Absolutely nothing. Their brains are not capable of guilt or remorse.
By all means be polite and civil to a sociopath, but avoid a close relationship. Sociopaths want victims and are incapable of love. They can be very destructive, and a close relationship with a sociopath is often a very damaging experience.
No, but they can be in a mental institution. hope this answers your question goodluck!
It can be dangerous to end a relationship with a sociopath. The best way to do so may be to just go away and leave the person's life. This way you do not put yourself in danger. Leaving and going to a shelter may be the easiest and safest way for you. Once you leave, do not have any contact with the person.
The short answer is get out, sociopathy cannot be cured. But see answer to the related question.
Sociopathy is untreatable. They do not change.
NEVER, unless there is HEAVY DUTY Counseling going on at the same time.
It is the place that the sociopath wants you in, they want you to rely on them, to care so much that you will do anything. To cater to their every need. They enjoy the power of being one who can control others.
My advice would be to see a therapist. Sounds messed up
If the sociopath thinks he can bleed more out of you than his wife, that's all it will take. Sociopaths have no interest in what you want, only in what they can get. By definition they have no conscience or respect for other people's feelings, and the condition is untreatable. The important question is, what is wrong with YOU that you desire a relationship with a sociopath?
Charming bastards, aren't they? And they take over your life so thoroughly they make you think it's your fault if you don't like it. Get some professional counseling, and cut the sociopath out of your life. No good can come from such a relationship.
Absolutely, the end always justifies the means and if the means is patience then so be it.
