I was in a relationship with a woman that has diagnosed borderline personality disorder, and showed clear traits of narcissist personality disorder. These two go together in 1/3 of cases.

It's not the same having narcissistic traits, than having a narcissistic disorder. The latest is out of normal, extreme. The person can spend hours and hours bullying you non stop, where when you have a trait it is rather eventual and after some time the person down-scales the conflict.

Also people with this disorder are masterful deceivers. The play the victim so well, and make you think they are sorry for what they do. But they really aren't, they are only sorry for the consequences.

The important part is realizing that you shall judge a person by their present actions, not their words or promises. If you have an issue with someone you can try talking with them, but if the issue persist nowadays, despite of what they say, that's the reality and that's what you shall expect.

Nasty around family and loved ones but wonderful in the public.

It will turn your life inside out. Once you're free and clear it's terrifying how fucked up the entire relationship and situation is and how easy you can get caught up in it. I felt like it took a bit of humanity from me after I was out of it.

I suppressed who I really was for years. Nothing was good enough. The mind games were horrible. When I left it was like a weight was off my shoulders.

Horrible. Just extremely horrible.
