I understand that I was pretty sassy in the above comment, but regardless of My sass I do have to ask: Do you normally make a point of insulting people in relation to their mental disorders?
Well I don’t. I’m not going to blame your hate speech on any of your minority statuses. I think this abuse is a choice you’re making because of prejudice.
Which five of these traits do you think are easy to handle in a spouse?
Inflated self-esteem or a grandiose sense of self-importance or superiority
Craving admiration
Exploitative relationships (i.e., manipulation)
Little to no empathy
Identity is easily disturbed (i.e., can’t handle criticism)
Lack of attachment and intimacy
Feelings of depression or emptiness when not validated
A sense of entitlement
Can feel like others are envious of them, or may envy others
Getting symptoms under control is a necessary component of people with certain mental illnesses avoiding doing harm to those particularly close to them, especially romantic partners. The entirety of the cluster B is this way.
Now if their partner has gotten their symptoms under control but they’re still mad they had them at all or that they have to keep doing the work, then I’ll say you’ve got a point.
I’ve been in the NPD community for plenty of time. I’ve been abused by people with NPD, and I’ve been abused by egotypicals, and I’ve even been abused by people with BPD. I usually date people with BPD. I can handle those 7 pretty easily. I also can and am handling 3 and 5 in one of My current partners, despite the difficulty. We’ve been together for nearly 5 years and we love each other very much.
But also, that diagnostic model is outdated and no longer considered correct by leading psychologists in the field. Look up the dimensional model in the DSM-5 and DSM-5-TR appendix.
I’m so sorry that your partner has to put up with a spouse who demonises their neurodivergence.
I was an asshole here, edited but you are being mean.

When they are trying to use it as a shield for their abuse I do.
