When you get married, you and your spouse will undoubtedly change over time. When they grow and evolve into a better person, this is great. However, sometimes they do the opposite, and their true colors begin to show. This is the case for many people who fall in love and eventually get married to a narcissist. So, what do you do when your spouse is a narcissist?

Narcissists and Marriage

While it may seem like it would be obvious to know whether someone is a narcissist or not, that isn’t always the case. Narcissists can be very likable and charismatic, especially at the beginning of a relationship. Falling in love and getting married to one isn’t uncommon by any means. But over time, the charm begins to wear off, and the manipulation begins to ramp up.

According to The Mayo Clinic, the mental condition gives people with the disorder a mask of extreme confidence that hides a fragile ego. When someone is married to a narcissist, they often take out their frustrations and lack of confidence onto their spouse. They begin to ignore them, blame them for their problems, and belittle them until their self-esteem is nonexistent.

This toxic behavior isn’t okay though; it’s abuse. No one deserves to be treated this way, especially by the hands of their own spouse. Even if couples in this situation try to work out their issues, there is always going to be an imbalance. A narcissist doesn’t like to admit fault, and no matter how hard their spouse tries, they’ll dismiss your feelings and needs. Because of this, it’s almost always best to move on from the marriage.
