How to cope with a narcissistic wife who always plays the victim and tries to manipulate realty in marriage? With kids it's not easy to walk out. Silent treatment, no physical contact, tries to isolate me and makes me feel guilty if I express my view. Any solution to cope as with time our reality gets distorted. Sleeping separate for years I recently got a pet dog. She used it as an excuse and walked out of the house blaming me that I purposely got a pet to chase her out. And she cries when I get this topic saying I am selfish as she is scared of dogs. The damage done to me for years prompted me to get a pet dog for healing. Now I really think, is it really my fault? Any suggestions?

Hi...Dealing with a narcissistic partner can be challenging, but maintaining your emotional balance is key. Focus on setting clear boundaries and communicating assertively while staying calm. Avoid getting drawn into arguments or trying to "win" a discussion, as this can escalate conflicts. Seek support from trusted friends or a psychiatrist to process your feelings and develop coping strategies. Encouraging your wife to seek professional help, like counseling, can also be beneficial if she is open to it. Remember to prioritize self-care to maintain your mental and emotional well-being.
