“Disarming the Narcissist: How to Stay Married to a Narcissistic Partner and Be (Reasonably) Happy” is a powerful self-help book that empowers individuals in their emotional healing journey. Nora Simpson and four other authors talk about the value of marriage and family, and finding balance and self-worth while in a narcissistic relationship.
The book takes a unique approach to managing the expectations of a narcissistic spouse. Unlike other self-help books that advocate for individuals to immediately leave their narcissistic partner, the marriage and family book teaches strategies to diffuse gaslighting attempts, practice self-confidence, and avoid emotional abuse.
At its core, the book encourages marriage preservation and offers advice from other women in similar situations. It begins with a detailed explanation of how a relationship with a narcissist often presents, including the “love bombing” (or excessive complimenting) and extreme affection displayed during the dating stage. The authors then discuss relationship red flags to consider, and factors to keep in mind when pondering whether a relationship is worth saving. From passive-aggressive phrases to openly toxic behaviors, the authors offer a compassionate and realistic view of what a relationship with a narcissist may look like and how to determine your boundaries.
“Disarming the Narcissistic” is written from the point of view of women who have lived through these events and how they felt when their narcissistic partner was beginning to display negative behaviors.
One review states, “Overall I thought this was a calming read and it gave information on actions you can take to improve your relationship if you've decided to stay. There are tips on dealing with issues and explanations of the textbook ways narcissists act in relationships. Some of the things discussed include how narcissists turn the conversation to themselves and how you should not have phone conversations with your friends and family in front of your spouse! They will be listening to everything you say about them!”
Simpson clarifies that the book is intended for those still in a semi-loving relationship and seeking advice from other women. However, those in a physically abusive relationship are advised to seek help from local authorities, especially as several studies, including one published in Health Psychology Research, show that physical abuse almost always escalates.
Remember: Only you know the full extent of how your narcissist partner treats you. If they continue to cross your boundaries, you must consider what is, and will be, the most healing and helpful for you.
Simpson writes, “If you find yourself in need of advice on how to deal with a narcissistic spouse, you will find an abundance of helpful information in this book. This book shows you how to take the behavior of your narcissistic spouse and either change it for the better, handle it with a bit less frustration, or see the behavior in a completely different light. Sometimes all you need is a new perspective on things, and your whole world can change.”
