Has anyone dealt with a narcissistic partner?
Has anyone dealt with a narcissistic partner? Any tips on maintaining this type of relationship without getting emotionally invested? Can’t leave due to my son.

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.

@PhlipipUK Wise. I know how I dealt with my ex, who I don't feel was narcissistic, more prone to argument. She had no escape from arguing; it was her (learned) nature. But whatever the case here, if someone is not listening to the other, one needs to learn to set a boundary.
