Pathological Narcissism is a defense mechanism against the hurt and threat of ealy childhood abuse. The narcissist is, therefore, in a constant state of inner turmoil, conflict, insecurity, and rage.
No, one should never marry a sociopath. Marriage involves trust, and a sociopath by his very nature cannot ever be trusted completely.
He looks just like every other sociopath I've ever met.
no, because they are not sociable and as a result of that, they have little contact with other people.
yes.
If they don't want helping then you can't. Most sociopaths are completely happy as they are and they will not allow people to help them.
happy ever
Smile a lot.....it costs nothing and you can ever be happy!
The sociopath lacked empathy and manipulated others for personal gain.
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.
You don't. Get as far away from a sociopath as you possibly can.
There are technical differences, but it is largely a matter of degree. Neither is likely to ever be a decent partner.
