My former partner behaved in narcisstic ways from time to time.

I didn’t even know what narcissism was until after we broke up after 8 years.

But dealing with narcissistic behavior was absolutely awful. It left me mystified about all sorts of things to do with us, as well as hurt and feeling abused.

She’d never ever acknowledge her narcissistic behavior so even recognizing it puts you in the right path to addressing it.

And for those people who suspect they have close relationships with narcissistic behavior, run if you can.
