Dr. Dana McNeil, the Founder of The Relationship Place, answers the question, "What do I do if my spouse is a narcissist?" If your partner is a narcissist, they won't go to therapy because they truly believe they are perfect.
Narcissism is a personality disorder that has been with somebody their whole life. If they are willing to change that behavior, therapy can be a great help. It is important, before labeling your partner, to let them see a professional who can label them and figure out why they are sharing these behaviors. Oftentimes, somebody may believe their partner is a narcissist but that's not the case. In actuality, they are suffering from handling their emotional and mental state and communicating their needs.
