Every relationship will have its issues because no one is perfect right?
But when you are in a relationship with a Narcissist, it takes “not being perfect” to a whole new level.
So what are the signs you might be in a relationship with a Narcissist?
When you first started dating they flattered you about your looks and intelligence.
Your partner has zero empathy towards you and others.
At times they are cold and show no emotion towards you when you need empathy.
They are the experts on every subject you raise. So much so, you have stopped telling them anything that interests you because they are so critical.
They are controlling of what you do, where you go and who you see.
You don’t have access to your joint account or the bank account you do have access to has minimal funds in it and never enough to allow you to spend money on yourself or to go out to lunch with a friend so you continually decline invitations to go out.
You’re not allowed out with friends or do an activity you enjoy because your family need you at home, however, your partner goes out with friends or does what they please when it suits them.
Your partner might be arrogant but they are also insecure. They need an over-the-top amount of validation and praise.
Your partner is highly critical of your close friends and family members.
You’ve noticed that there is nothing wrong with your partner’s friends, only with yours.
Your partner has managed to turn your friends and family against you or they say things to you like, your family say this about you!! You know they think you’re crazy! This is a form of gaslighting.
To the outside world, your partner is charming and friendly and they’re definitely a people person, however, behind closed doors they treat you with disrespect, contempt and criticism etc.
When you met your partner it was their past partners that were the issue. They were abusive etc. It is never them.
When you are both out with friends, your partner always brings the conversation back to themselves because they are fishing for compliments.
They talk themselves up on every topic as an expert on an issue while being an expert on nothing.
They put themselves first at the expense of others.
They are selfish and have a long trail of broken relationships and or friendships.
