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.

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 .

@Rhode57 That's what I did too. A year after our daughter was born. Best move I made but my daughter is still wanting us back together.

@zonavar68 Yes my daughter still lives with her mum with my grandson and she seems to get on with her mum although she told me she has days where she wants to get away when mum gets over bearing . I told her I will never go back with her mum as I would be suicidal within weeks . I dont like arguing etc its not me .
