2.Your spouse has a super-sized ego.
Maybe your husband sees himself as the most beautiful creature on the face of the Earth and believes everyone else sees him the same way when it’s just him being a narcissist.
According to Dennis Lin, M.D., assistant professor of psychiatry at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and director of the psycho-sexual medicine program at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York City, it’s common for individuals with narcissistic personality traits to feel like they deserve more than other people.
They feel like they’re entitled to cheat just because they don’t have to follow the rules, Lin explained. As New York City psychotherapist Michael Batshaw, author of 51 Things You Should Know Before Getting Engaged (Trade Paper Press) has added, these types of people are often more aggressive in all their personal relationships, including romantic ones.
“They always see things as power struggles – you’re a winner or a loser,” Batshaw says. Narcissists individuals usually get a thrill every time they cheat, just because they see the relationship as a game and they believe are winning it.
