How do you deal with urges to hurt your partner when they don't sufficiently stroke your ego?
I really don't understand how people stay in relationships and can feel content contributing towards their partner and doing things for them. I cannot comprehend it.
What do you do when your partner doesn't treat you like you're a gift from God? I don't understand. I want to cheat because I feel as though it would make it more manageable to stay. This isn't an issue of compatibility, but because my grandiosity makes it near-impossible to maintain connections with people. I am trying to stay with the discomfort in this relationship, but the urges to hurt them are getting stronger.
What do you do when your partner doesn't feed into your grandiose self-perception? Is it even healthy for a narcissist to have a partner who doesn't stroke their ego? How do you guys cope?
