Before you got married, you may have been warned that marriage is hard. However, if you’re married to a narcissist, that statement can be even more true. The challenges in a relationship with a narcissist are unique from other relationships. But it doesn’t mean that your relationship can’t work. The tips below can help you learn how to interact with a husband/wife who has a narcissist personality disorder or how to deal with a narcissist boyfriend/girlfriend.
I have explained what narcissist means (please refer to my last write up) or maybe let’s me drop some more key tips or symptoms on how to recognize a narcissist
1. An inflated ego
2. Feelings of entitlement

9. Unable to see the needs or feelings of others
10. Envious
11. Inability to maintain healthy relationships
