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.
Conclusion
If you’re in a relationship with a narcissist, it’s important to get out. Narcissists are very dangerous and can cause a lot of damage to your mental and emotional health.

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.

Hi

I do not know what to do as i love him so much
My X came from a 10yr relationship with a NARC that caused an unhealed trauma where she turned into a Dismissive Avoidant. We already broke off 3months ago after a whirlwind romance if just 6months. Because of my growing intimacy, her fear of losing independence, peace and alone time she always exuded emotional detachment due to her trauma. It broke me because I became the victim thinking our relationship would be like her X. My X never self-reflects on her behaviour and probably will never will being a Taurus.
I have experience with Narcissist.
She went all out to get me.i never did wrong to her, she understood my situation.Until we had our 1st born.she changed completely. She start being judgemental,controlling me,everything im doing its wrong,Evry mistake she does she blame me.shes always want to be Ryt,Everything im saying or deciding its Sh*t.Start swearing at me, judging my family situation and my educational level,She block me now i cant see my Son,i cant support my Son becouse of there is no commonication between us.

Can narcissist behavior be adopted by a partner without knowing it? Can a narcissist behavior be cured? What will happen to them if everybody will avoid and leave them? Can they came up with realization on their behavior?
