I have been wanting to tell people about my husband's Narcissism but question my motives. It feels like self defense in a way. I suppose if I can deflect blame to him I will be relieved of it all in some way. I'm wondering if it would be safe to discuss my findings and experiences with family members and people who ask about what is going on, or if it would be too hard for them to comprehend. I think I am probably his primary source of N supply ,he has no close friend or family. our children are the only others who get used. But the toll it is taking on us is getting harder. I want help. Sometomes I want validation. Sometimes I want revenge against him. I guess before answering this question it would be good to ask what could possibly come from it.
Well of course. That's a how a narcissist valids himself.
Just because this person is a narcissist doesn't make then much different than anyone else cheating with your spouse and you should be more concerned about your spouse cheating. By all means sit down with the narcissists spouse and tell the whole story, but be sure you have absolute proof before doing so. Don't be surprised if the narcissist's spouse becomes angry and is denial, but, in time the spouse will become to believe it.
A narcissist cannot show appreciation. A narcissist is a person who looks at themselves as higher than others, or believing they can do any task better than others, so for a narcissist to show appreciation would be very odd.
Sure. The question is - does the spouse-wanna-be want to stay abused & miserable for the rest of their life.

You can refinance without the spouse but you will need their consent to do so. If the spouse is on the title of the home, the answer is "no". If the spouse is on the existing mortgage the answer is "no". If the spouse is not on title you need to indicate on the loan application that you are married, and if you don't is fraud. At the time of closing she/he would have to be present. Inform you spouse of your actions.
A compensatory narcissist would not be able to have a successful second marriage. This is because they would always be craving praise while belittling their spouse to make themselves feel better.

If the account was joint then the surviving spouse is responsible for the debt. If the account was held solely by the deceased spouse the surviving spouse is NOT responsible for the debt and is not legally obligated to repay such nor to correspond with the creditor or collector. If the surviving spouse so chooses he or she may inform the collector that the account holder is deceased and also inform the collector that they should "cease and desist" all contact with the family. Florida is not a community property state. Marital property is generally treated as Tenancy By The Entirety, which makes it immune to creditor action if only one spouse is the debtor.
Yes it happens most time. It is true.
What you describe is a narcissist or egotist.
