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.

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).

@zonavar68 One way to see it... but that really only says, those who affect us, affect us.... Yes, it "modifies" our perception, and I only brought up gaslighting in perception, to not say she did, but to emphasize if we use terms that maybe don't entirely reflect how we really feel, it creates misunderstandings..
