I think the man I dated in my aforementioned "will I ever meet a Godly husband" post was a narcissist. I knew a narcissist was someone self absorbed with a big ego but that is the tip of the iceberg!! I wondered after being nice to me for 6 weeks he suddenly became loud and verbally abusive. Narcissists "use, abuse and then lose" you. The Lord led me to google "narcisstic personality disorder" and "narcissism". It is classified as a personality disorder (we know satan is behind all evil). These people have NO empathy-will pretend they are in love with you and then dump you if you can't supply them with their "narcisstic supply". They have "narcisstic rages" as well (what happened to me). I never considered or knew all about narcissism when dating this guy as he is the longest I ever dated a man. I think members of this forum should research narcissism and be aware of the signs to let you know if you are dating someone like this before they get hurt emotionally, financially or even physically! They say 75% of narcissists are male and about 1% of people (but some say 4%) are narcissists. I don't believe a true christian can be a narcissist because they don't submit to Christ, admit guilt, etc. There is too much to mention about narcissism here but I want people to be careful of these predators when going out with a new love interest!!
