Can you divorce a narcissist?
Divorce is difficult. But divorcing a narcissist can feel impossible. The surprise abusive attacks followed by the desperate pleas to remain together create confusion, frustration, and anxiety.
What to say to your spouse when you want a divorce?
Use “I” statements, focus on neutral language, report how you feel, and be sympathetic about his/her feelings. Say “I know this is difficult to hear, but our marriage is finished and I want a divorce. I don't believe marital counseling will fix our relationship, but we might benefit from seeing individual therapists.”
What can I expect from a narcissistic husband?
He will come and go as he pleases. When you try to hold him accountable he will fly into a rage. He will not answer questions directly. He will never ask you about your day and wish you to “have a good day.” He will never show concern for things that you care about (unless it's something he cares about.)
