Hello everyone, today we're delving into a fascinating topic: "How can a narcissist remain in a marriage for years? If such individuals are harmful, what motivates them to stay married, or why would anyone stay with them?" Let me address these questions.
Firstly, it's important to note that some narcissists can indeed sustain a marriage for a considerable duration-spanning years or even decades. However, it's crucial to understand that a narcissist's motivations for getting married differ significantly from yours. They do not prioritize exclusive devotion or focus entirely on their partner. They might give the impression of doing so, but in reality, a narcissist who has been in a marriage for a long time may lead hidden lives. They could be involved in other relationships or engage with different individuals without your knowledge. Essentially, they pursue their desires independently.
There are several reasons why narcissists can maintain a marriage over the years. One reason is their skill in manipulating their partner. The partner may be unaware of the concept of narcissism and might dismiss the narcissist's behavior as just being part of their personality, thinking, "This is just how they are; they're challenging to deal with." Some individuals might justify staying in the relationship by thinking, "Everyone has issues; I should be understanding and stick around." The partner might have weak personal boundaries, not recognize they are in a toxic relationship, or fear being alone, which could explain why they remain with the narcissist.
Financial dependence is another factor that can make someone stay with a narcissist. If the narcissist is the main provider, the partner might feel trapped, unable to leave despite recognizing the toxic nature of the relationship. People often wonder, "If narcissists constantly seek new stimulation or excitement, why do they stay married?" The answer is straightforward: a narcissist who remains married benefits from the relationship, if only for the assurance of having someone by their side. Narcissists dread solitude and abandonment, and they appreciate the comfort of a safety net.
Therefore, a narcissist might stay in a marriage for an extended period because they view their partner as a source of security and support. This support could take various forms: companionship, guidance akin to a parental figure, emotional support, household management, or caregiving for their children. Additionally, some narcissists might avoid ending the marriage to prevent the division of assets. They could be benefiting from your health insurance, unwilling to incur higher expenses by leaving. Or they might want to avoid paying child support. Hence, there are numerous reasons why narcissists might choose to remain married for years.

It's taken decades to figure out my N married me because I was pregnant and he didn't want to have to pay child support. Empty, unloving marriage for years. Upon my decision to divorce, he got a low paying job and put the kids through poverty so he didn't have to pay anything to me. In the divorce, we found out I receive an apportionment of his retirement due to the length of marriage. His rage caused him not to speak to me since and put a wedge in the family dynamic with our grown children. It was always about "his money." This is terribly tragic. I was so naive.
I'm so sorry to hear about your painful experience. It's heartbreaking how manipulative behavior can impact families so deeply. Stay strong, and I hope you find peace and healing.
It’s simple and happens to me. They will get kids and than the painfully time starts because they don’t care and you as the opposite takes your responsibility to give the kids love. But in the end all the blame is on you because when you do nothing you no make mistakes. It’s sad for the kids
Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s heartbreaking when children are caught in such situations. Stay strong and continue providing them the love and support they need.
