I calmly said ok. She ranted for another minute and then walked away. So, basically what we talked about with HER issues instantly went out the window. I was supposed to come to her on HER issues when the kids were busy. I did exactly that and she still won't let me talk.

People with narcissistic traits don't care to talk about YOUR emotions, that is unless your problems are similar to theirs and they can get validated through you. So, anytime you have a discussion you will get stonewalled unless she is talking about HER needs. What she is doing with you is spinning conversations and circling back to HER and back to focusing on HER needs. This is going to leave you once again feeling frustrated and emotionally neglected. The ONLY praise you will get is if HER ego is getting fed guy. Same as with your ex.
She may do her fake petting with you to keep you around, but, it's always going to be about HER needs. And if you want more you will end up getting one of her temper tantrums that tend to be nasty and full of sarcasims.
