Married to The Dark Triad

What happens when the person you love wears a mask, hiding a sinister trio of personality disorders?
The Dark Triad consists of three deeply harmful personality traits: psychopathy, narcissism, and Machiavellianism. Each of these traits contributes to a dangerous combination that can leave partners feeling manipulated, controlled, and emotionally destroyed.
Psychopathy involves a lack of empathy and a cold, calculated approach to relationships. Narcissism is marked by a grandiose sense of self-importance and a deep need for admiration, often leading to the devaluation of others. Machiavellianism involves manipulation and deceit, with the individual often using cunning strategies to exploit others for personal gain.
When combined, these traits create a relationship dynamic where one partner uses charm and manipulation to dominate and harm the other, leading to severe psychological damage.
For over 20 years, I lived through this nightmare. My ex-husband was clinically diagnosed with severe antisocial personality disorder, exhibiting the traits of the Dark Triad. This experience was a harrowing journey of manipulation, isolation, and emotional abuse. The scars left by this relationship are profound, but I have turned my pain into purpose.
