Number 8: You constantly compare yourself to others.
Narcissists make us feel inferior, which forces us to compare ourselves to others. As a wife, you spend a lot of time obsessing over other people’s lives and always feel like you’re falling short. This is typical Behavior among women who are mentally abused by their narcissistic husbands. They constantly compare themselves and their lives against other people.
It’s easy to get caught up in this cycle, but it’s important to remember that there isn’t any one way to be a wife. Everyone is different and has unique qualities and skills. No one can fill the role of being a perfect wife for your husband, so why put so much pressure on yourself?
Number 9: You self-sabotage and self-destruct.
When you are mentally abused by your narcissistic husband, it can feel like there’s no way out. You might think you have to just deal with it because he will keep doing what he’s doing until he gets bored and moves on to the next thing.

Narcissistic husbands often tell their wives they’re not good enough, pretty enough, or intelligent enough. You feel like you are not worthy of better treatment, and you feel like you will never be able to get out of the situation, so why bother trying? You have a hard time setting boundaries and you’re afraid to say No! You try to destroy and sabotage your happiness by choosing actions that will lead you back into bad situations rather than those that will bring joy.
Your narcissistic husband is controlling, manipulative, and abusive, but you’re scared to leave him. You feel like if you leave him, he’ll make your life hell, so you stay. But no matter how much fear and anxiety you have about going with this guy, the thing is, it will never be as high as the stress and the trauma he puts you through daily if you stay in the marriage. Seek professional help and take action for yourself.
