Narcissism
Why You Will Only Play a Role in the Narcissist’s Life
There’s only space for one person in this type of relationship
I mistakenly believed I was joining a partnership. Or as I always say, “a relationship should be as it implies — a ‘relay’ — a back and forth, and a give and take.”
But I couldn’t have been more wrong.
Instead, I played a part in the narcissist’s life. I was merely a face in his life picture. A portion of the perfect package he wished to create. He was assembling his world order. The success he could hang a shingle on…checking off the boxes.
I was the wife, the business partner, the mother. I would find the office space, the assistant, do the paperwork, run to the post office and the bank, clean the house, mulch the lawn, cook, whatever helped make his world go round.
Most girls, even independent ones like me, hope to meet a guy who makes us feel as if we are their whole world.
Rather than just fit neatly into theirs.
But most girls don’t marry narcissists.
