Tricks to Have a Happy Marriage with the Narcissists

·         Learn to recognize stimuli

When dealing with a drug addicted husband, it can also be helpful to learn to recognize the things that cause them insecurity. Because addicts are secretly insecure, this is why they are often tempted to act in anger or other negative attitudes. Once you learn to recognize these stimuli, it can help you either avoid them or be mentally prepared for the struggle they are making.

 

·         Build your confidence

Narcissists struggle to empathize with other people. And because they consider themselves superior to others, they bring down and insult other people. They may be involved in emotional abuse and verbal abuse. These are all reasons why it is important for you to learn how to build your self-confidence without trusting your husband.

 

·         Find ways to help boost your husband's self-esteem

While it is not your responsibility to help boost your husband's self-esteem, you may find that it is beneficial to do so. This will help you to remind yourself that he is not treating you badly because of any of your actions. It is more likely because it is hurting and insecure.

·         Set clear boundaries

Setting boundaries in any relationship is healthy, and in a relationship with a narcissist, it becomes even more important. Chances are your husband wants to control everything in the relationship. It is important to think about where you need to set boundaries to protect your mental health.

·         Build a support system

It is important to have a good support system around you. It can be common for a drug addict to isolate his or her spouse from family and friends. If you spend time with other people, your husband may want your full attention and may become jealous. You may find that he is constantly criticizing your friends and family so that you do not spend time with them.

 

·         Get advice

If you are married to a narcissist, seeing a doctor can be very helpful. If you have been a victim of drug abuse, you may have a hard time acknowledging that the behaviors displayed in your marriage are unacceptable. Or, you may look back and forth wondering if this is a problem or if you are not doing anything just to realize that his behavior is harmful.
