Is It Possible To Have A Relationship With A Narcissist

This is a great question. It depends on what your definition of a narcissist is.

If your definition of a narcissist is someone who is completely self-centered and prideful and arrogant, unable to take accountability for anything entitled, always the victim.

Complete disregard for your boundaries. Someone manipulative means, they look for ways to demean and belittle you so you have no self-worth so they can feel important.

Someone unable to take constructive feedback without exploding in rage. Someone who has no interest in humility or emotional maturity.

For a person, looking to find peace and comfort in their relationship, it is not possible to have a relationship with someone who refuses to provide even the bare minimum levels of mutual respect kindness, or consideration.

If you get very deep into a relationship with someone who has no desire for empathy or emotional connection, and you feel if you step back, it will cause disturbance in the lives of others, your kids, and the narcissist itself, then you will go to compromise with this relationship.

It’s possible to have a relationship with someone like that as long as you’re ok with your needs, wants, and desires being completely neglected and you doing all the work in this relationship.

It would not be a perfect life with such a relationship. But in our life we make sacrifices. It would be a sacrifice of our emotions and desires to live a happy relationship.

It would never be a fulfilling relationship because that requires both people to care about kindness respect honesty consideration and mutual selflessness.

We might still have to interact with people like this in our family at work or with our friends, but we will never feel safe or close with them because they aren’t concerned with connection.

They’re only concerned with control and protecting their ego.
