So tired of being married to a narcissist

He didn't get what he wanted last night and he immediately accused me of cheating on him. And today is punishment. Silent treatment, anger and attitude. He's going out of his way to make me feel unwanted.

I couldn't bring myself to let him use me. He makes my skin crawl.

I've never been married but I left my narcissistic sociopathic princess-mode second ex 6 years ago and have been single since with no interest in dealing with people who think life is all about them and nobody else.

My 7 y/o daughter's care, welfare and parenting are more important that any relationship will ever be and I couldn't be the best dad I can for her if I still lived in a toxic relationship with her mum. I'm better off being single.

@zonavar68
Well said! Focus on your daughter for the next 5 years, because after that, she will begin her migratory journey away from you. All girls do migrate away from their biological father at that age because we are biologically predisposed to doing that as females. Not so if you're not her biological father, however.

Don't take offense when this eventually happens! It's nothing personal!
