Are you in a toxic relationship? Do you often feel confused, depleted, desperate to find solutions to make things better and get back to the good that existed in the beginning - but nothing you do seems to make a difference? Are your partner's words and actions often misaligned? Is infidelity present or suspected? If so, you may be in a relationship with a narcissist. The sooner you can identify this and get educated on what this entails, the sooner you can regain your strength and sanity.
