7. They try to convince themselves and everyone around them that they’ll change

I need to admit something to you. I’m a proud ex-wife of an unfaithful narcissist in disguise. I was 19 years old when we got married, and at the time, I thought he would never hurt me because he loved me more than anything in the world.

Oh my, how wrong was I. We had only been married for two years when I found out about his betrayal. I kept seeing many of the warning signs and red flags everyone warns you about, but I refused to believe it.

I stayed with him even after he admitted his infidelity to me. I stayed with him because he was such a great manipulator who managed to make me and all of those close to us believe that he’d change.

Of course, as you may assume, that didn’t happen. After six months, he did it again, and at last, that was the final straw. After my healing process successfully ended, I met someone, and I’m still in a happy, committed relationship with that guy, and I honestly think he’s the one.
