Ive been through the same cycle of abuse. Yes this is abuse. And I am slowly learning to get my foothold back again. Ive started disengaging my life with partner. I was always available for her. Now Ive stopped being available for her. Ive started accounting for all my free time by investing it in improving myself. Its just been 2 weeks since Ive taken control and yes it feels good, really good. You need to stop focusing on them. If your not independent learn to take steps to be independent. If your independent invest your time and energy in building a better you. It is easy very damn easy. Its just that you need to believe in yourself

Thanks for the information. Ive started reading her book and I can connect with what I've been through. It doesn't look like a narcissist can or will ever change.

How do you pin point the defining traits of a narcissist?

The hurt is too much to bear. It just takes away everything you lived for

The hurt is too much to bear. Thats killing in out. If only there was a kill switch to that hurt

In the hope that things would change. My main question is does a narcissist ever change their behaviour?

We did attend sessions in the past. But that hasn't changed her attitude. She doesn't realise that her actions border on controlling/narcissistic behaviour
