Narcissism
How to Deal With a Narcissistic Partner
You’re not the problem.
This is one of the best periods of your life. You feel ecstatic. You don’t even know what the word narcissist means.
He makes you feel special and treats you like the most important person in his life. You are his top priority.
Then one day he says he loves you, and you believe him.
Maybe you love him too. This new relationship makes you feel great, full of energy. You are so happy you finally found “the one.” It’s the first time you feel this strong connection with someone, and you never thought it was even possible.
Your friends start asking what happened. You seem so different. You look younger and happier. You are the best version of yourself, inside and outside.
He is always checking on you. He is always there for you, whenever you need him. Everything feels so good.
Then one day he starts to seem withdrawn, out of the blue, so you ask him what’s wrong. He answers he’s fine, it’s all “in your mind.” But still, you feel him distant and can’t quite describe what’s going on.
