Has anyone dealt with a narcissistic partner?

Teach yourself not to react when they try to goad you into an argument. Think carefully before you say anything to them, they can start an argument with pretty much anything. If in doubt, just don't start the conversation.
Don't get drawn into an argument, agree if you have to or show indifference. Learn to neutralise their need for conflict.
It's not an ideal solution but, if you can't get away, it might make your life a bit more bearable.

Yes, keep emotional distance. Leave whenever they try to push you into doing things you don't want to. Walk away, don't argue because they are masters at it like most people master breathing or sleeping. Never engage in disagreements with them just act as if they aren't talking and walk away, don't answer texts, don't answer your phone. Go do whatever makes you happy within the confines of your relationship and invest in decent ear buds to block out their bs. Good luck. I truly hope it helps

Not with a partner but with a parent and a sibling. It's rough, basically its' worth it to bail but if you really, really have to stay then idk you can go two ways either fight it and try to keep them from getting too big but that's a heap of stress and a battle every day. Other way to go is ignore them whenever possible but that can also go wrong if they decide to get big and get abusive thinking you being unengaged is submission.

You say you gotta stay for the son, but keeping him around that is worse than a lot of other things, because it could stick with him for life to have that influence how he grows up. That's what happened to my sister, she got traumatized for life. Me and my other siblings too to some extent but one sis got it the worst of all of us.

Hi I have lived with a self obsessed one

Learn about the grey rock method.

Leave . My ex was a narcissist and I tried for years to make it work , in the end had to leave for my own mental health . You cant change them for your own sanity leave before they turn you into a zombie .

Leave, children are not a reason to stay. They are impacted by the dysfunction in the home. Even if you don't think so or think you are hiding what happens.

If you absolutely can’t leave.. just play the game and let him have his way when at all possible. There will come a day you can leave! Plan, plan plan!

you will lose your mind trying to rationalize this nut. you can leave. I left a sociopath. I gained my sanity. you can't win with a narcissist

Maybe, but I have to say this, honestly... it's become a term so overused, it can paint the person bleak. I felt my ex, gaslighted me... but truth be told, maybe she only held concern? I thought her possibly narcissistic... Just be careful with the terms, as you might find yourself painting those with normal emotions in a way you can't handle. (only you know). I know my observation, thought, won't be the popular one, but care is not about finding support in reaction (emojis).

It's actually very easy. You make a contract with them and then you only have to follow through with your side. It's all business so treat it as such and I see no reason why you'd become emotionally invested

You can't solve it as the narcissist will always say his or her problems are someone elses problems, never empathise with others, and never accept he/she is wrong.

I would suggest you have a chat with Melania Trump 🙂

Hmm tough one im sorry

Yes, get out..

Fortunately never became a partner but, yes

How old is your son?

How old is your son?

This dude isn't even your kids real dad. Ffs leave. If he's abusive towards you what makes you think he's going to treat your child any different.

Why would you want your child to be living with a narcissist? If he's a narcissist then he doesn't really care about anyone or anything other than himself. Get out fast, and get full custody!
