Is it true living with a narcissist over time can start to give you the same behavior?

This is not always the case. I know somebody (my mother) who has lived with a narcissistic husband for over 20 years, and despite the fact her husband does not show any love whats-so-ever towards her none of it has rubbed off on her.
The personality disorder is something cemented in childhood, I highly doubt youll develop one yourself after your childhood if you decide to live with one. However, what they do to you can make you feel certain things that may make you cold - which is natural.

Will a narcissist in beginning dating move fast and act charming and flattering?
Yes- a narcissist will become everything that you want him to be. He will be super sweet and want to give you the sun moon and stars. He will buy you gifts and wine and dine you. When he knows he has you hooked he will then let the mask slip and start to be verbally/emotionally abusive. In my case I really don't think he realized how much damage he was doing. Whenever you are with a person whose behavior is clearly not aceptable for a relationship and they give you a hard time about confronting them, 9 out of ten times, you're with a narcissist! RUN don't walk to the nearest therapist and find out why you have let this person in your life!!
Is it possible to have a friendship with a narcissist?
It can be possible to be friends with a narcissist but do not expect much from this person. Also expect the friendship not to be very fufilling and mostly one sided (on your part) The one thing that does help is that you already know that he/she is a narcissist so you will understand why they do or say most things. I say give it a shot but do not expect too much like a friendship where that person will always be there for you no matter what because that just will not happen. I know this from experience. GOODLUCK!
Why would a narcissist give away a present from his partner to someone else?
To make the partner feel worthless
Why does your narcissist tell you he loves you but refuses to give you a commitment?
He loves himself more. Are you sure you want a commitment from a narcissist? He is not ready for a commitment. You need to decide for yourself how long you want to stay in the relationship without a commitment.
How does narcissist pick a mate?
He/she picks a partner based on how much narcissist supply that person has to give. It may come in the form of sex, the attention of being with an attractive person (if you're hot), or using that person for something they have like a beach house and the narcissist will be able to go there for free with the mate. A narcissist might choose a mate that is known in the community as successful. Being associated with someone even slightly famous is narcissist supply for them. So if you've got something to give and the narcissist knows it--be it money, sex, adulation, good looks, a beach house, a Paris apartment, celebrity--they'll be all over you.

What do you do if you have reached an impassse with your narcissistic spouse and they are prolonging the silent treatment toward you?
Go to counseling. Rejoice! And again I say, rejoice! There is no silence more golden than a narcissist's. To not have to hear that annoying voice! It is truly heaven. Let me tell you how things work with a narcissist. They come from opposite land in Bizarro universe. The only way to get a narcissist to be nice to you is to (paradoxically) treat them terribly by ignoring them entirely. If the narcissist is ignoring you, you must have done something awfully decent and nice to deserve this. Do you see the impossibility of ever successfully dealing with and having a relationship with such a person? I would say, take immediate advantage of the impasse and the resulting silence by leaving the narcissist. No matter what you do, never pay any attention to the narcissist again, and don't talk or call or write unless forced by law to do so. The narcissist will always think of you, in the Bizarro universe way, as a wonderful person and will crave your attention, which you will never give. Thus exacting justice on the narcissist while taking back your life. Too bad you have to be mean to show a narcissist how wonderful you are, but you didn't start this thing. You should be the one to end it, though.
Does the narcissist change for the new girlfriend that he loves so much?
No. That person is only an extension of himself. He can only love things that are of himself and thus is incapable of any selfless love, empathy, or understanding. A narcissist's onlyopportunity for change occurs during a life altering crisis. This deflates the narcissist's ego a leaves him emotionally unstable. It is possible, but very unlikely a narcissist will change. It is even more unlikely he will change for another person. He probably is unaware of his own attitudes as they are subconscious defense mechanisms usually formed in childhood or adolescence. Furthermore, he is incapable of that self-sacrificing behavior that enables Pygmalion projects.

How does a narcissist who is divorcing his wife feel when she starts dating before the divorce is final?
Dating before the divorce is final, as long as you have filed and you are living apart, is legal and okay. However, it is best to remain VERY discreet because narcissists are very possessive and can become angry and even violent if their"possession" moves on. If need be, be prepared to call 911 and/or get a restraining order if anything happens while you are dating. Also, if you have children, do your darndest to make sure they don't know about your dating because it will get back to your soon-to-be ex. Give him time to find a new target before you start flaunting your newfound freedom. And keep your doors locked, no matter what. Treat your narcissist as like a delicate time bomb that is very unpredictable. Do not give him the benefit of the doubt for ANYTHING. If he is truly a narcissist, he will do whatever it takes to hurt you and punish you for leaving the marriage, and will do things you never imagined he was capable of.
Why would your ex-Narcissist propose marriage to you but not look you in the eye and look in another direction?
OMG! That is horrable. If he doesn't give all his atention to you in that moment then he really doesn't care. Im sorry!(Bonnie):AnswerWell first of all, would you really expect that a narcissist would be sincere about such a proposal in the first place? Whether this man is or not, it doesn't sound right that he should do this. You say he is your ex, so it seems that you are trying to find out whether or not he truly is a narcissist. I know it helps to have some closure to know what the reason was for the strange behavior. I hope you find some answers and some peace. Good luck!
