I grew up with the narcissistic parent from hell. I thought I had escaped, except I am right back where I started in year 20 of a marriage to a N. who comes from a family of N.s himself.  It explains so much. . .I didn't even think my...

Well, I think I did. And I think to a certain extent, this is a heritable trait.  His father is an obvious narcissist.  My father in law talks about himself incessantly, was never loving to his son (my husband) even to the point of...

I am married to a narcissist or "N", or at least someone with very strong narcissistic characteristics.  Now, I realize my father was (is still) an N, and that's why I married one.  It was familar, it was what I knew...

I am going back and forth from feeling numb to devastated. I don't know what to do. I have been with my husband since i was 17 I am know 35. I recently lost a child which brought me to counseling. While in counseling I realized my...

The trigger for this story was my cleaning out the garage and rediscovering the generator that is going to be parked on the curb next garbage day.This brought back a flood of memories:1.  The generator was bought by my ex during the...

my narcissist was a lunatic. I had to take mood stabilizers, antidepressants and hours on hours of counseling just to survive him. He decided to leave in the "N"s usual elaborate fashion, causing a big drama all the way out the door...

I met this man 3 years ago, at that time he was having a very bad personal moment (he had to move from the country he was living the last 20 years leaving all his family and "life" there to live compleatly alone). As is have a handle...

I met my husband when I was 17.  My parents had sort of stopped parenting me at around 16, and I was looking for direction and also looking to be needed.  As an only child from divorced parents it always felt to me that I was...

I've been married 6 months, my husband and I have been in and out of a relationship for 2 years and we have a 1 year old son. A couple months ago, I guess, after a fight that led to a full blown panic attack, I was finally willing to...

No, this doesn't describe the narcissistic spouse. The story of the gingerbread man is my story at the hands of narcissism. 
A woman bakes a gingerbread man who comes to life:  I am the GM, created and molded by my mother the...

I just discovered that there exists Narcissistic Abuse. I knew my husband was verbally and emotionally abusive, but I am so glad to find support groups and forums that accurately explains and confirms what I've gone through for the...

I've been married for 6 years and it was a whirlwind romance, short engagement and I did think I found my life partner. He's a very charismatic and attractive man and is the "life of the party". Everyone thinks he is the best and...

I may be in the wrong spot, but I'm a man that's suffered 26 years of living with a narcissistic wife.  I apologize if this isn't the right forum, but from my perspective, it's fascinating reading these stories from a woman's...

Being married to a man like this is the most exhausting . Life is full of constant chaos and yelling and everything else that is not good for the nerves. I won't even tell my whole story because he has stalking tendencies. So I can't...

I've been with my husband for 11 years. Married a little over a year. We have a 5 1/2 yr old son. I suffer from anxiety depression and OCD. I know I have my own issues but I feel they have been magnified 100x by the stress my husband...

I have been married to a narcissistic abuser for 14 years. Everything is about his needs and opinions, nobody else's.  Yet he has extreme doubts in every decision he needs to make, whether choosing a paint color or what...

Even though I recognize that my husband is a Narc, and he lacks empathy and compassion that most human beings have, I still hope to see it in him. I have made significant progress in distancing myself from him, getting the support I...

I dated my husband for about a year. It was an agonizing, crazy making time. Whenever there was even the slightest conflict needing resolution, or he felt the slightest slight he would run or rage. He would never address the issues...
