Do you often ask yourself if you're being too sensitive to your partner's behavior?
On the outside, your life looks perfect.
You have the house, the social life, kids, and everything you want...except your relationship feels empty.
You lack a deep emotional connection with your spouse, and every time you try to address problems in the relationship you experience conflict, and are made to feel it is YOU that is the issue.
Are You Experiencing Any Of The Following?
- Everything is ‘fine’ only until you have an issue, express a need, or try to talk about something they did. Your spouse is loyal to a fault, does housework, grocery shops, cooks, and is relatively a kind person. (Note: Some of these men do not do housework and are lazy and unsupportive when they are at home, so it can be extreme in either direction)
- You can’t express yourself without your spouse without him getting defensive. All issues you raise end up in a circular argument and he deflects the issue you brought up back onto you, somehow making it your fault
- You’re not seen or heard -you feel invisible. There is no asking about your day, or how you are. No making special plans on his initiative, and you feel you have to beg for the smallest things. He doesn’t care about your ideas or desires and ignores your needs.
- Nothing is ever resolved. There’s no sitting down and talking through issues calmly. You never feel heard, and it always ends up in a bad argument that leaves you feeling emotionally shattered. There is no resolution, and you feel like all the problems are your fault, he takes no ownership of his behavior.
- There’s no affection, reciprocity, or deep emotional connection. The only affection you get is when they want sex, or you may want it because it’s the only time you get his attention. Many women develop an aversion to intimacy with their narcissistic spouse and don’t want to have sex at all. And, it is not uncommon for sexual abuse to be present in these relationships
- You’re constantly walking on eggshells. You worry about his reactions, or what he will complain about next, what mood he will be in when he gets home, and what criticism you will receive next. You always feel on edge, waiting for something to bad happen, and dread when they are coming home. You brace yourself, even when he is not around.
- He will never apologize. He has a ‘perfect persona’ and can do no wrong (according to him). You’ll hear: I’m sorry you feel that way” “I’m sorry that you think I did that”,” I said I’m sorry, what more do you want?”, or “I’m sorry that hurt your feelings”, I’m sorry if I did that”. These are all non-apologies!
- When you express yourself, you’re met with sighs, eye-rolling, and then stonewalling. This is not an occasional thing, this is every single time. There’s never a good time to talk and you can never do it how they think you should.
- He never listens to your concerns, acts busy, or doesn’t act interested in what you’re saying. Often the subject gets changed, or he deflects, minimizes, or belittles your feelings. He will also make you feel as if your ideas are stupid or will go on about how what you’re suggesting will never work.
- You feel lonely and neglected in your relationship. It’s as if you don’t exist to him. There’s no connection and no emotional intimacy.
