How I Was Convinced Into Marrying A Narcissist And It Made Me Stronger

Now that I look back, at the time it was the worst time of my life.

I don’t think that is a happy bride, do you?

I want to clarify what a narcissist is before I begin because I am never sure either. I assumed I was the problem, which is apparently what the narcissist wanted me to believe.

Narcissist, according to websters dictionary: an extremely self-centered person who has an exaggerated sense of self-importance

Yet I feel that this is just the start since many narcissists have traits such as:

Lack of empathy

Manipulative behavior

Self-centered

Arrogant

Ok, so just with a couple of these, I am pretty sure he fell into this category. Obviously, I never had him diagnosed by a therapist, so this is just my opinion. Maybe he was, perhaps he wasn’t.

All I know is that he was an A**hole and a mastermind with manipulation and emotional abuse.

When we met, he was charming, cute, and British. Plus, he was sophisticated, cultured, and had seen the world. So I think the accent wooed me. I was a naive country girl living in Santa Barbara, Ca.
