So true.
When you marry a narcissistic man, you never get a chance to be a wife; instead, you take on the role of a mother because these adults behave like man-children.
They go to work Monday through Friday and then spend their weekends sitting in front of a laptop, downloading music, playing video games, or making messes for you to clean up.
You find yourself single and a father simultaneously, taking on the burden of responsibilities without the support of a partner.
Narcissists don't marry for love or partnership; they marry because they want a maid, cook, secretary, banker, and a nanny.
They crave control, not connection. Their selfish desires consume them, leaving you to run the household, raise the children, and satisfy their every whim.
Your dreams of a loving and equal relationship are shattered, replaced by the harsh reality of servitude.
As days turn into weeks, and weeks into years, you become a shadow of your old self.
Your identity is erased, replaced by the exhausting duties of handling a narcissist's life.
You are obliged to sacrifice your own desires, interests and friendships to accommodate their demands.
Emotional childbirth is suffocating, leaving you drained, resentful, and wondering how you ended up in this nightmare.
You're not alone in this fight.
Many women have fallen prey to the charming facade of a narcissist, only to find themselves trapped in a loveless and ungrateful role.
Remember, you deserve better.
You deserve a partner who loves, supports, and respects you.
