• Set boundaries and stick to them firmly: The first step in getting a narcissist husband to leave you is by setting clear boundaries. It’s like telling your toddler that they can’t have ice cream before dinner; it may take some time for them to get used to, but eventually, they’ll learn that no means no.
• Stop enabling their behavior by refusing to engage in arguments or accept blame for things you didn’t do: If there’s one thing a narcissist loves more than themselves, it’s an argument. They thrive on conflict and will go out of their way to make sure everyone knows how right they are. Don’t fall into the trap! Refuse to engage with them when they start trying to pick fights or place blame where it doesn’t belong.
• Seek support from friends, family, or a therapist who can help you navigate the situation: Remember that old saying about how “it takes a village”? Well, this is definitely one of those situations where having people around you who care and want what’s best for you is crucial. Don’t be afraid to reach out!
• Consider legal options such as filing for divorce if necessary: Sometimes setting boundaries just isn’t enough – especially if your safety is at risk. In these cases, don’t hesitate to explore legal options like filing for divorce or even obtaining a restraining order if necessary.
• Make sure your safety is a priority and seek outside help if needed: Speaking of safety…if at any point during this process you feel unsafe (or even just uncomfortable), don’t hesitate to call in reinforcements! Whether it’s calling the police or reaching out to domestic violence organizations in your area – remember that YOU matter most!
• Avoid trying to change or fix the narcissist’s behavior; focus on taking care of yourself instead: Newsflash – You cannot change someone else unless THEY want/are willing 2 change themselves! So stop wasting energy & time trying to fix someone who doesn’t want fixing. Instead, focus on taking care of yourself and your own needs.
• Be prepared for backlash and manipulation tactics when setting boundaries or leaving the relationship: Narcissists are masters at playing mind games – so don’t be surprised if they try to guilt-trip you or turn others against you once you start standing up for yourself. Just remember that YOU know what’s best for YOU!
• Document any abusive or threatening behavior, including texts, emails, and voicemails: If things get really bad (or even just a little sketchy), make sure to document everything! This includes saving any text messages/emails/voicemails that could potentially serve as evidence later on down the line.
• Consider getting a restraining order if necessary to protect yourself from physical harm: Again…safety first! If things escalate beyond control & u feel threatened by their actions then consider obtaining a restraining order 2 keep them away from u physically.
• Avoid engaging in arguments or trying to reason with the narcissist; they will only use it as an opportunity to manipulate you further: Let me say this again – Do NOT engage! They thrive off conflict & drama so avoid feeding into their need for attention by arguing back. It’s like dealing with a toddler throwing tantrums – ignore them till they calm down!
• Stay strong and don’t give into guilt trips or emotional manipulation tactics that may be used against you: Guilt tripping is one of those classic moves in every manipulator’s playbook – but guess what? You’re too smart (& awesome) 4 dat nonsense! So stay strong & stick 2 ur guns no matter how many crocodile tears he sheds.
• Keep communication minimal and strictly business-related if possible: When all else fails- go cold turkey baby!! Limit contact as much as possible unless absolutely necessary- especially after breaking up/divorce proceedings have begun. Stick to business related communication only & avoid getting sucked into their drama.
• Don’t hesitate to seek professional help for yourself during this difficult time: Remember that you’re not alone! There are plenty of people out there who specialize in helping folks like us get through tough times. So don’t be afraid 2 ask for help when u need it- whether it’s from a therapist, counselor or support group – they can all provide valuable insight and guidance on how best to handle the situation at hand.
