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.
When abandoned, a narcissist may exhibit behaviors such as intense anger, manipulation, or attempts to regain control over their ex-spouse. They might engage in love-bombing or guilt-tripping to elicit sympathy and rekindle the relationship. Additionally, they may resort to smear campaigns to damage the ex-spouse's reputation or to seek validation from others. Ultimately, their reactions are often driven by a fear of vulnerability and loss of self-esteem.
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.
Call an attourney.

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.
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.
Yes it happens most time. It is true.
What you describe is a narcissist or egotist.
