You may ask yourself, “How did I get here? Why did I let this happen to me? What was I thinking?”
The answer is you were seduced by your spouse’s charisma and cunning tactics. Don’t be too hard on yourself. The best and the brightest can be deceived by a narcissist.
No one sets out to marry a narcissist. Their behavior charms you and sneaks up on you. Don’t feel embarrassed or ashamed if you find yourself the victim of a narcissist; you are not alone!
There are various healthy traits of narcissism in many of us. But then there is the actual diagnosis of narcissistic personality disorder.
As a medically trained divorce attorney and mediator, I am uniquely skilled at identifying a narcissistic spouse and guiding a spouse carefully to terminate a marriage.
From my many years of medical and psychological training, I want to share with you some of the telltale signs of narcissistic behavior:
A narcissist:
- Believes they are “special”- can only be understood by an intellectual few or should associate with only the elite
- Has a grandiose sense of self
- Demands excessive attention
- Has a strong sense of entitlement
- Lacks empathy
- Is arrogant
- Spends a lot of time on appearance
- Is extremely likable when you first meet
- Is his/her favorite subject
- Name drops
- Is a drama king/queen
- Hypersensitive to criticism
- Takes no responsibility for anything
- Is a control freak
If you are married to someone with several of these traits, it’s time to consider moving on. Life with a narcissist is usually abusive and definitely emotionally draining.
Taking the right steps, with the skilled guidance of a professional, is imperative to safely remove yourself from this type of abusive relationship and marriage.
A narcissist is a toxic, high-maintenance personality.
If I can help you navigate a path out of this type of marriage, let me know.
I am familiar with the traits of a narcissist and uniquely trained as both a medical professional and divorce attorney to help you successfully and safely divorce the narcissist in your life.
