Is It Possible to Have a Successful Relationship with a Narcissist?
Has anyone been able to have a functional relationship with one?
I know the pain of this question.
You’ve fallen in love — with a narcissist.
The trauma bond has been forged in fire.
Maybe you knew they were a narcissist before you dove in and believed they could change. No one could blame you if you did — Hollywood movies have told you it’s possible.
Maybe you were love bombed so hard and fast and fell in love so quickly that you were in over your head before you realized they weren’t perfect.
In either case, you find yourself struggling with the relationship as it is. Before you argue, if you aren’t struggling, you wouldn’t ask this question.
You’ve been doing research, trying to understand what you’re experiencing. You’ve read a lot about narcissists.
You’re hoping it’s not true. You are in love. Maybe you have children, property, or a business together. You want the relationship to succeed.
