You’re probably married to a narcissist! Here are some signs to watch for:
- Your spouse is manipulative. At first, they were thoughtful but over time, they have become focused on their own needs and wants. They say, “I love you,” in order to exert control over you.
- Your spouse craves attention. They need endless praise and approval.
- Your spouse never admits to being wrong.
- Your spouse has no empathy. They do not appreciate how much you sacrifice for them.
- Your spouse thinks YOU are the narcissist! They are constantly evaluating your behavior to see how many signs of narcissism you display.
- If you sent this list to your spouse, they would accuse you of having these traits.
- Your spouse becomes frustrated when you deny that you’re a narcissist.
- Your spouse says that conversations with you are stressful because you won’t admit when you’re wrong.
- Your spouse accuses you of trying to manipulate them when you say, “I love you.”
The question is not whether or not your spouse is a narcissist. The question is, which one of you is the bigger narcissist? Here’s a clue that might help you decide. The biggest narcissists are the most sensitive to narcissism. So…which one of you accuses the other of narcissism most often?
“Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.”
(Ephesians 5:21)
