The foundations of any relationship need to be based on:

Trust

Respect

Kindness

And safety.

But narcissistic behaviour creates a power imbalance…

Where one person tries to dominate the relationship.

So, today I want to share with you the 7 warning signs your partner is a narcissist (and how to fix it:

1. Love bombing (1-2 weeks)

They shower you with attention, saying "I've never connected like this with anyone before."

2. Inflated ego (early months)

They dominate conversations and need to "top" everyone else's achievements.

3. Destructive communication (2-4 months)

One small mistake triggers angry texts and silent treatment. When you express hurt, you're "too sensitive."

4. Self-centredness (3-6 months)

Your problems get dismissed quickly while theirs consume hours of conversation.

5. Lack of empathy (4-6 months)

During your life challenges, they seem annoyed rather than supportive.

6. Chronic lying (6-12 months)

Their stories don't match up. When confronted, they make you question your own memory.

7. Contempt (12+ months)

Eye-rolling, mocking you as "just joking," and making comments like "are you really going to wear that?"

Alright…

So what can you do to protect yourself?

- Take relationships slow. Put your partner through real-life tests to see what they're actually made of. The honeymoon period never reveals who someone truly is.

- Pay attention to how they react when you set boundaries or say no. Do they respect your time, interests and passions?

- Notice if they genuinely listen to you. Are they curious about what you're saying or just waiting for their turn to speak?

- Observe how they talk about exes and whether they take responsibility in their life.

- Trust your feelings. If something feels off, talk about it directly. Don't sit in judgment - observe, then discuss.

- Focus on healing your own issues to develop a secure attachment style. If you notice you're pushing partners away or getting triggered easily, that's your work to do.

Remember…

Healthy relationships are joint efforts where two self-fulfilled individuals come together and become stronger - but neither needs the other to survive.

Most importantly, you always deserve kindness.
