Yup. When you grow up with one, you begin to think that kind of treatment is normal. I was miserable as hell trying to please him but still went on with it.
He ended up getting bored of playing with me and left, thankfully. Blessing in disguise at the time. Took me a while but I was able to put myself back together to this New and Improved state.
Never again.

Yes. I briefly dated one. I ended up telling him to break up with me if he didn't like the way I looked, dressed, spoke, and thought. So we broke up and I was heartbroken but relieved.
My ex husband on the other hand was not exactly narcissist, but we parted ways when he had a sort of midlife crisis that involved hating everyone and abandoning the beliefs that we had shared. He had suffered a lot because of parental abandonment while young. He has made a different life for himself and is probably still single.
I had other narcissists storm in and out of my life from time to time too. I have 2 of them in my family but it was still freaky and confusing.
I had some church pastors and church 'ministry helpers' who were very narcissistic too. Several of them were in the same churches and social networks.
Narcs in positions of authority can be extra dangerous, especially when they gang up on you.

@Johnblackthorn omg do I ever. I didn’t realize the exact problem I was trying to fix? Thought this was him. Turns out most are the same

@Girlmom02 when a behavior like this has a name that means it happens a lot which means there are a lot of them, the problem is you fall for one and then look for similar traits in the next partner without realising until you're to deep.

@looking4thesun my husband verbally and physically abused me, lied, cheated and manipulated

@Girlmom02 well as far as I am concerned once he physically abuses you it take a big turn from a narcissist. and he should be in jail.. no one deserves to be touched in an angry manner.
