I am very sad and heartbroken because I thought I had found the person I was supposed to be with. It was the first time in my life I ever felt truly connected to someone so fast. after the breakup someone told me she must be narcissistic, I want to know more about her affliction.
Like so many of you I have been in a relationship with an N for many years. I’m now a couple of months into a strategy of detachment - and it’s working. I’m interested in all aspects of this condition but particularly about the strategies that others have used to ‘escape’.
After 4 yrs of marriage - which deteriorated badly after the 1st 18 mths we went to therapy. The psychologist has informed me my husband is narcissistic and it will be difficult to treat. I’m just not sure this always applies - I see signs of him desperately wanting to make this marriage work. Maybe because its his 4th and he doesn’t want to be on his own. But the awareness things aren’t right is a start.
learn about a friends behaviour
I’m interested because my partner has all of the characteristics of a NPD. I need to know various ways that can help him see that he has this disorder and how it is affecting us. I need some sort of savy medical proffesional and quick because i’m not sure how much longer I can endure this and there are children involved. How can I rest assure that my children won’t inherit this trait?
My Husband maybe a N.
My Doc is trying to tell meI am married to a Narcissistic. I am trying to uderstand and come to terms with all this.

I am interested in this condition because I believe my brother has NPD. I want to learn how to deal with him.
JUST CURIOUS AND INTERESTED IN LEARNING MORE.
Trying to learn more because I have some of the traits and my husband has many as well especially the lack of empathy.
Hello,
I am a 44 year old woman who was abused as a child. I Married abusers, dated abusers. Finally I got off the merry-go-round when my daughter turned 10 in hopes of breaking the cycle. I didn’t start dating again until she turned 18 and of course ended up with an abuser. When it ended, I was devastated and relieved all at the same time. I couldn’t break the spell of depression and stayed in my room for over a month without dressing, showering. Believing my abuser that I was nothing and worthless I didn’t even work. Sitting at my computer drawing support from my few friends on my space I came across a site in which a woman’s entire site was about domestic violence. On this site was her friends list. I clicked on a couple and found one that addressed NPD and immediately I recognized almost every man I have ever dated or loved starting with my father! I could not believe my eyes. Since that day I have gone back to living. Working and going to the gym I’ve even gone out with new friends. Not dating yet. Then today one of those women posted a link to this site and I knew I had to come. I truly believe that if I understand this disorder better I will learn how to see it before I go down that too familiar path yet again. I hope to give as much as I get. I want to help when and where I can for me, for my daughter, for any one who suffers as a result of loving someone with this disorder.
I was engaged to a man that I (and our therapist) believed to be a Narcissist. I have left him, but can’t help thinking that maybe he was changing. I am looking for support in my decision and furhter knowledge about the disorder.
I am an adult survivor of Npd mother and codependant father and am worried about my adult daughter? is she a sufferer too.
I have been doing some reading and am becoming more convinced that my wife has a growing narcissism disorder. Her father is definitely a narcissist. I am trying to learn what I can do for her, and how to best protect my children from her.
my daughter has dis-owned me, she has Aquired Situational Narcisstic disorder. This has been very painful
I walked away from her, because I can only take so much at one time. I need others who are suffering from being rejected by a narcissist, I sacraficed my life for this child, she is 38.
I come from a family system that is narcissistic. I have done much work around it. No more contact with any family member but have now hooked up with another family group that is also narcissistic. Feel beaten up looking for others experiences to learn from.
my girlfriend has it. I want to know what I need to do about it.
I have been raised by a NPD, married a NPD, divorced him, ended up with 3 more NPD domestic partners over the years, and finally got away and have a wonderful realtionship with a perfectly normal loving and caring man,… now I have to deal with a NPD at work!!! I have educated myself about NPD and understand it, but I still get very upset,… bloodpressure raising when I have to deal with one. I would like to find out how I can react and respond in a way, for him to stay away from me and not want to mess with me. Any suggestions?
My brother and father have NDP and I have just realized it.
