I’ve been in a few relationships with narcissists, and I know how damaging they can be. If you’re in a relationship with a narcissist, it’s important to be aware of the signs so that you can protect yourself.
In this article, I’ll share 10 dangerous signs that you’re in a relationship with a narcissist. I’ll also share my own story of how I was in a relationship with a narcissist and how I finally escaped.
1. They always have to be right.
Narcissists are always right, no matter what. They can never admit to being wrong, even when they’re clearly wrong. This can be very frustrating and exhausting to deal with.
2. They’re very critical of you.
Narcissists are constantly criticizing you. They’ll find fault with everything you do, say, or wear. This can make you feel like you’re never good enough.
3. They’re very demanding.
Narcissists always want more from you. They’re never satisfied with what you have to offer. This can be very draining and stressful.
4. They’re very manipulative.
Narcissists are very good at manipulating people. They’ll use guilt, shame, and other tactics to get you to do what they want.
5. They’re very controlling.
Narcissists want to control every aspect of your life. They’ll tell you what to wear, who to talk to, and what to do. This can be very suffocating and isolating.
6. They have no empathy.
Narcissists don’t care about your feelings. They’re only interested in their own needs and wants. This can make you feel very alone and unsupported.
7. They’re very grandiose.
Narcissists have an inflated sense of self-importance. They think they’re better than everyone else. This can be very arrogant and off-putting.
8. They’re very envious.
Narcissists are very envious of other people. They’ll often try to sabotage your relationships and friendships.
9. They have a history of failed relationships.
If your partner has a history of failed relationships, it’s a red flag. Narcissists often have a history of short-term, unstable relationships.
10. They’re very charming at first.
Narcissists are very charming at first. They’ll do whatever it takes to win you over. But once they have you, their true colors will start to show.

My Story
I was in a relationship with a narcissist for about two years. At first, he was very charming and attentive. He made me feel like I was the most important person in the world. But then, things started to change. He became more critical of me, and he started to control every aspect of my life. I felt like I was walking on eggshells all the time.
I finally left him after he cheated on me. It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, but it was the best decision I ever made. I’m so much happier now that I’m away from him.
