Do you ever worry that your partner may be a narcissist? At first, you may have been charmed and enamored by their engaging personality, only to slowly realize that you may be in love with a narcissist.
If you’re experiencing any of these signs, it may be time to re-evaluate your relationship:
1. Feeling Wrapped Around Their Finger:
You might find yourself feeling an irrational sense of loyalty or devotion to your partner, even in the face of their troubling behavior.
2. Lack of Voice in the Relationship:
Does your partner control the physical aspects of your relationship? Do they make decisions about your family, friends, and relationships with others?
3. Emotional Manipulation:
Narcissistic men are known for their manipulation and often thrive on your lowest moments. They may be there for you when you’re down, only to make you feel worse afterward.
4. Unwillingness to Work on the Relationship:
If your partner is not committed to working on your relationship, and refuses to acknowledge any need for change, it may be a sign of narcissistic behavior.
5. Blaming You For Everything:
A narcissistic partner will refuse to take responsibility for their actions and instead point the finger at you for any negativity in the relationship.
6. ‘Gunnysacking’ Behavior:
In relationships with narcissists, the partner may save up grievances and problems to lay at your feet when it suits them.
7. Trampling Your Self-Esteem:
Over time, a narcissistic partner can slowly chip away at your self-esteem, leaving you emotionally dismantled.
8. Being Used:
Narcissists have no remorse and may use you emotionally, wanting the relationship entirely on their terms.
If you identify with these signs of a narcissistic partner, it may be time to have a serious conversation about the future of your relationship. Remember to prioritize your well-being and happiness above all else.
