You feel as if youre constantly at fault.

(aka: Avoiding all responsibility and making you feel guilty instead.)
This is a tactic called blame-shifting, where perpetrators victimize themselves instead of admitting theyre wrong.
Its unfair, unhealthy, and abusive.
The majority of conversations/arguments center around your partners feelings.
In a narcissistic relationship, everything is about that persontheir thoughts, their feelings, their decisions, etc.

Healthy relationships are aboutbothpartners being able to open up to one another.
Your partners pride is a very central part of your relationship.
Your partner is the main decision-maker, but does so without regarding your opinions.
Sometimes people in relationships take on roles.
There might be a main decision-maker in your relationship, and thats perfectly fine.
In a healthy relationship, both parties should have a say.
(A relationship is two people, not one.)
Most of your interactions are draining, exhausting, or negative.
Being with a narcissistic person is tiring.
You dont feel as if your partner respects or honors your boundaries.
If thats true for you, youre definitely in a narcissistic relationship.
You are often interrupted or feel undervalued when you speak.
You feel like youre being charmed or manipulated by your partner.
Cant stay mad at your partner, no matter how hard you try?
One of the strongest traits of narcissist people is their charisma.
They are able to charm and persuade you (often for their own gratification).
Do they always have to win you back?
You feel like youre being used.
Your partner has a difficult time, or doesnt take any responsibility for his/her actions.
Is your partner always right?
Never doing anything wrong?
Always making you out to be the bad guy?
Love is incredibly difficult, but it shouldnt be miserable.
A one-sided relationship is not a relationship.
