If you are making as big a decision as deciding to settle down in marriage, you might as well face the bitter hard truths about what the future might have in store for you. It's better to know the truth early instead of learning about the darkness in your partner when you are already deep into marriage. However, if you are considering marrying a narcissist, this might be a little harder than you think.

You see, a marriage needs some give and take. But this requires that each partner understands and accepts this concept as an important ingredient in any good marriage. And it also takes quite a bit of effort. However, all hope of having such a relationship is lost when you marry a narcissist. These peculiar and malicious people only see things their way, they make no compromises for anybody, and their greatest delight is in breaking their partners down so that they can feel superior. Without a shred of mercy, these people can make your life hell on earth and make your question your own state of mind.
