I Don’t Want To Be Crazy Anymore

What To Expect When You Marry a Narcissist
If you’re planning to date a narcissist, these are the things you can expect in your relationship. Notice that because they are incapable of having a healthy and intimate relationship, this may be your only chance to get close to someone unable To empathize with others. Your marriage will be the most important relationship in your life; be wise in who you select to commit to. If you marry a narcissist you will be uniting with a person who does not have empathy. Empathy is necessary for sensitivity to others’ feelings and compassion. While you may not be physically hit or physically abused in this relationship, your heart will be broken 10,000 times. Even if you think you are a “strong” person and can handle it; your strength is not really strength but denial.
