Can Narcissist Have Healthy Relationships? Fall In Love?

Narcissists In Relationships

Are you concerned that you may be dating a narcissist? Worried that your boyfriend or girlfriend is incapable of loving you? Then keep reading this article about narcissist relationships.

If you’re wondering how to get a narcissist to love you, you’re not alone. In fact, narcissism search trends have skyrocketed in recent years according to Google.

In the 8 years of running this website, I’ve never written an in-depth guide about narcissism and relationships. So, I’m excited to write about this. It’s been a long-time coming because many people who are codependent end up in relationships with narcissists.

Because the narcissist tends to lack empathy and emotional maturity, it’s difficult for them to have healthy relationships and experience unconditional, true love.

With that said, it isn’t impossible. These people aren’t sociopaths or psychopaths. They aren’t completely devoid of emotions. They may be self-absorbed most of the time, but that doesn’t mean they can’t improve and become better.

6 Bad Habits That Ruin and Destroy Relationships

by Rick Leave a Comment

bad habits relationships

I love talking about bad relationship habits. When your partner pushes you away, I can guarantee that it’s due to some sort of bad habit you’re (most likely) clueless about.

Make no mistake: getting yourself into a healthy, successful relationship is the result of having good habits.

So much of everything you’ll read about when it comes to improving your life is about how to develop these good habits that other people use successfully in their lives.

Depending on your upbringing, you may have several life-crippling bad habits. These can be small things as well as big things.

And, when you get into a relationship, these habits will have a negative effect on the relationship. They will (quickly in most cases) lower your level of attractiveness in the eyes of your lover.

7 Ways to Strengthen and Improve BPD Relationships

by Rick Leave a Comment

strengthen relationships

I have a soft spot in my heart for borderlines because my first relationship was with a girl who has BPD. In fact, I’ve dated several borderline women over the years.

These relationships can be extremely difficult when you don’t have the knowledge and the skills needed to be with these people.

And, depending on the level of her personality disorder, it could very well be impossible to have a healthy relationship with her.

But, that shouldn’t prevent you from at least trying to make it work. Which is why I’m here with this website and why I’m passionate about helping men and women succeed in borderline relationships.

help someone with bpd treatment

First things first: I’m not a doctor. This article is simply my personal advice if you’re trying to help someone with BPD seek treatment and improve themselves.

Good on ya! That takes balls. But, you must do things the right way. Understand the BPD relationship stages before you embark on a journey of becoming this ‘hero’ that you want to be.

The one key thing I want you to keep in mind is that it’s not your responsibility to help or fix your partner.

However, if your partner wants help and support, there are things you can do to guide him or her in the right direction.

Dating A Girl With BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder)

by Rick 236 Comments

dating girl bpd

So you’re dating a girl with BPD eh? I know every article on the internet tells you to run from borderline women, but I do things differently around these parts.

My relationship history is full of attractive BPD women. A decade of drama and chaos to put it lightly…

But, I made it out alive and have managed to remain amazing friends with many women who (most likely) have BPD. Some still refuse to admit they have aren’t perfect ;)

Anyway, BPD is a Cluster B personality disorder that is rather common these days from my experience. And according to a quick Google search, Borderline Personality Disorder is “characterized by dramatic, overly emotional or unpredictable thinking or behavior.”

I have dated dozens and dozens of women over the years. I can confidently say that you’ll find these characteristics in most women, lol. A powerful set of relationships mindsets are the answer for dating women with BPD.

Is My Boyfriend A Sociopath? Do They Feel Love and Emotions?

by Rick 6 Comments

sociopath boyfriend

If you’re worried that your boyfriend might be a sociopath and is incapable of love and emotions, then you need to read this article.

Many women who are dating sociopaths stumble on my blog. They often wonder why their boyfriend won’t love her the way she loves him.

You might mistakenly assume that your boyfriend has BPD or some other disorder.

But, chances are your boyfriend has a number of issues going on with his mental health. And, since I’m NOT a mental health professional, I’m simply going to write about what I believe are the warning signs of a sociopathic man.

Take what you learn from this and simply apply it to your situation. If everything I write sounds exactly like your boyfriend, then you need to consider the reality that it may be time to leave, and he needs help from a professional.
