Yes, there is. First and foremost, if you are in danger emotionally or physically, leave your husband.

Second, try to come to terms with that he is a sociopath. That may seem simple, but it's hard to actually make yourself believe that he is being manipulative. Talk to a psychologist if you feel that you need to talk to somebody about how you feel about your husband.

There are also websites that have stories about being married to a sociopath and tips on how to get help, including Lovefraud.

Talk to your friends about what has happened to you.

Don't be afraid to leave him. If he is hurting you emotionally and physically, then he does not actually care about you. He may say that he does, but this is part of how sociopaths are manipulative.

What characteristics are necessary in a lover for a sociopath to leave his adulterous wife?

If the sociopath thinks he can bleed more out of you than his wife, that's all it will take. Sociopaths have no interest in what you want, only in what they can get. By definition they have no conscience or respect for other people's feelings, and the condition is untreatable. The important question is, what is wrong with YOU that you desire a relationship with a sociopath?


Can children who live with a mother who is a sociopath be helped by the estranged father?

Be sure your wife was diagnosed by a proper doctor and he determined she was a sociopath. If this is true, then you do have a right to take your children to a Child Psychologist and I suggest you do. However, if the damage is great you are going to have to seek legal counsel for a separation and try to get sole custody of your children until your wife seeks professional help. Good luck Marcy

What do you do if your husband is a sociopath?

Get away from him and the relationship. Tell him to get help, or lose you. As simple as that, and I mean intense therapy. If he thinks he has no problems and doesn't want help, then help yourself and do what ever you need to do to prepare for leaving him, and divorcing him. Find someone to stay with, break off all contact (which is hard because a sociopath's victim often becomes almost addicted to them and the cycle of sociopath abuse). Good luck, and run as fast as you can to save yourself. It's very rare for a sociopath to ever change or want to change, even meds and therapy rarely help them.
