High Level Narcissists Discard Their Spouses and Partners Without A Second Thought

from The Narcissist in Your Life Podcast · host Linda Martinez-Lewi, Ph.D., LMFT

High level narcissists are essentially solo acts. They are incapable of forming genuine relationships, especially with their spouses, partners and children. Narcissists are duplicitous. They have many secret agendas. They compartmentalize their lives skillfully and without conscience.  After you have been married to a narcissist for a while you realize this man or woman is not the person you met and think you have known.  Even when he/she is getting everything he wants, the high level suddenly turns on his /her spouse. He is projecting and spewing his unconscious self loathing and psychological emptiness on to you. Spouses and partners on the receiving end often learn to ignore and rationalize these abusive behaviors.  After the marriage has turned stale---and this can happen quickly with narcissists---they need to figure out exactly what they are going to do with you.  Narcissistic spouses are irritated and disgusted with spouses and partners who are not performing up to their unrealistic standards. After the divorce the spouse/partner is dropped quickly, abandoned without ceremony.  High level narcissists don't look back; they are not haunted by any memory of their cruelties. They sleep well at night and are still completely full of themselves as they move on with another person. This is a travesty, a number of horrible scenarios that are repeated over and over again by narcissists with impunity.  As you move forward, focus on your sense of self entitlement. Practice self care each day: rest and sleep, eat nourishing food, good hydration, exercise and movement that appeals to you, expressive unedited writing, listen to beautiful music, spend time with Nature, the great healer.  Click the link below for my books on Amazon: https://tinyurl.com/2p92ymam Click the link below for the Mental Health News Radio Network, a Global Network of Shows by Podcasters on every facet of Mental Health:  www.mhnrnetwork.com
