Narcissist perfect mate is a prisoner

Life with a narcissist is a prison.

You are not a partner.

You are a possession.

A trophy when they need to show off.

A distraction when they’re bored.

A nuisance when you have needs of your own.

They don’t want a spouse.

They want a puppet — one they can box up, shelve, and dust off when it benefits them.

Try asking for respect.

Try holding them accountable.

Try having a boundary.

Watch them rage.

Because your only “role” in their life is to meet their needs and protect their image.

If you dare ask for more —

You become the problem.

You become “too much.”

You become their target.

This is not love.

It’s captivity dressed up as commitment.

You don’t have to stay.
