Why would a narcissist pursue marriage when they lack empathy and struggle with genuine connection? In this revealing episode of Fake Love and Flying Monkeys, I uncover the hidden motivations behind a narcissist's desire to walk down the aisle. It’s rarely about love—marriage is a tool for control, status, and securing a long-term supply of validation.

We explore how narcissists use marriage to trap their victims, often pressuring them into having children to further solidify control and create a permanent tie. Marriage, for the narcissist, isn’t just about manipulation; it's also about projecting an image of normalcy and respectability to the outside world. By appearing like the perfect spouse and parent, they can continue their covert abuse while maintaining a façade of being a loving partner.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone wanting to understand the insidious ways narcissists use relationships to serve their own needs while disregarding their partner’s well-being. 
(BTW. You'll know what I mean when you listen to it, [can't delete it and reupload], I meant "stake a claim. NOT claim a steak"!) Oops. I think I must have been thinking of my dinner when I recorded this! 😂
