When you first met him, your spouse was charming. He was self-confident, too, and so attractive! The fact that he only talked about himself didn’t bother you at first, because he was such an interesting person. You fell in love.

Over time, you found out that he doesn’t seem to care about your feelings. In fact, he doesn’t seem to care about anyone except for himself! You’re experiencing love and pain at the same time. You found out what manipulation and gaslighting are. And here you are, in a toxic, codependent relationship with a narcissist.

If you think you can save your relationship, you need to read “Disarming the Narcissist: How to Stay Married to a Narcissistic Partner and Still Be (Reasonably) Happy”. This book, available on Amazon, was written by a team of five authors - Nora Simpson, Kristi Brock, Zara Hamilton, Maureen McLain, and Wendy Keith. These women, all of whom have been in a relationship with a narcissist, share their experiences and offer practical advice on coping with narcissistic behaviors in a marriage.

Life can be challenging when living with a narc. In fact, life can be hell, and most books about narcissism say to leave the relationship. This edition addresses those challenges but realizes that life isn't always that simple. That people have emotions and feeling for others, even if the significant other is a narcissistic husband or wife, emotions and feelings that they can't just walk away from. Or sometimes it's about the children and the family dynamic. This book explores ways of coping with the emotional roller coaster of a relationship with a narcissist and possibly building a genuine and loving connection with them. But the authors warn, it's not a walk in the park.

In “Disarming the Narcissist”, you will find practical strategies for communication, dealing with manipulation, overcoming emotional abuse, and coping with the lack of empathy. The book combines the stories of five women at different life stages who managed to find ways to be relatively happy in their relationships (or at least have found coping mechanisms until the time was right to leave). The reader can be sure to find tools and tips which will be helpful for your particular situation.

The authors offer different perspectives on dealing with a narcissistic partner. If you would like to keep your relationship, youll learn how to pull back your self-esteem, reduce your frustration with your spouse’s behavior, and hopefully change it for the better. But if the reader believes they can no longer stay in the narcissistic relationship, they will find the support they need to prepare to leave, too.

The book, which was first published in 2017, is available for purchase on Amazon in both Kindle and paperback format. It has a 4.1-star rating, with a multitude of positive reviews.

“This book is very helpful in the realization that I’m not crazy, I’m not alone, and it’s okay to stay,” one reader wrote in their review. “I’ve been wondering if staying with my narcissist was really the best for my children and me. The ups and downs are real and everything is not my fault. It’s amazing to read about the lengths other women have gone to appease their spouses. It’s very helpful to read about how others have dealt with the same heartbreaking situations that I have.”

Recover emotionally and possibly rekindle the connection with your partner and be at least somewhat happy. Or at least, find solace in knowing that you are not alone.
