No Visible Bruises

The Narcissist Cheater & The Codependent Response


Listen Later

I have experienced what it’s like to go through a relationship with a narcissist who cheats on you, and getting out of that relationship isn’t as easy as you may think. In this episode, I’m going to discuss what my experience was, and the mindset I found myself in, that made leaving my narcissistic partner so difficult. 

 

What You Will Learn In This Episode:

  • My own personal experience with a narcissistic partner who is cheating
  • How to deal with the shame, guilt and personal blame of a cheating partner
  • Why you may find staying in the relationship more comfortable than leaving it
  • Strategies to avoid blaming yourself and tips to a safe exit from the relationship
  • How to find a safe community to help in your post-narcissist life

 

From making excuses for your partner's behaviour to blaming yourself for them cheating, it’s important to get yourself into a positive mindset so that you can leave your narcissistic partner as soon as possible. I hope my story can shed some light on what a lot of people go through when they find themselves being cheated on so that you can avoid making the same mistakes.
