[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When ever I see a subject line like this I can't help but wonder  how anyone ever marries a cheating abusive narcissistic bully. The cheating might not be evident but the rest should be.[/quote]
Narcissists are manipulative charmers.[/quote]
This. They are heavily invested in having a good facade and work hard to make people think they're great. It can take years for the mask to slip. And then at first, you make excuses. Later you feel trapped or beaten down. [/quote]
I do believe you people need to learn what a narcissist is.

"Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for admiration and a lack of empathy for others. But behind this mask of ultraconfidence lies a fragile self-esteem that's vulnerable to the slightest criticism."[/quote]
I do believe we know exactly what we're talking about. You can google your little heart out for simplistic definitions, though, if it makes you feel better.[/quote]
So basically you can apply whatever label you want on a person even if it isn't appropriate. Doesn't change the facts or definition. A narcissist is a person that is self involved. Most don't give a damn about charming someone but they sure as hell care about their own needs over others. And as it relates to the OP, how does one miss that about a person before marrying them. Even if they tried to cover that up there will be many examples to expose the trait unless someone isn't really accepting of reality.[/quote]

:shock: Hi dummy. Check out the DSM-5 for the definition of narcissistic personality disorder, and you'll realize you stupid you sound criticizing OP. You don't know what you're talking about. [/quote]
DSM-5 criteria for narcissistic personality disorder include these features:

Having an exaggerated sense of self-importance
Expecting to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it
Exaggerating your achievements and talents
Being preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate
Believing that you are superior and can only be understood by or associate with equally special people
Requiring constant admiration
Having a sense of entitlement
Expecting special favors and unquestioning compliance with your expectations
Taking advantage of others to get what you want
Having an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others
Being envious of others and believing others envy you
Behaving in an arrogant or haughty manner

Damn but that is a total formula for charming...[/quote]
