Publisher's summary

In a revealing study of relationships where partners love themselves first, last, and always, Cynthia Zayn and Kevin Dibble help listeners determine whether their partner is over the line and has narcissistic personality disorder. The book draws on the authors' research and interviews with a variety of men and women who've been narcissized. Featuring compelling stories and scenarios, Narcissistic Lovers helps victims understand the pain brought on by their abusers, shows why these self-loathers can't change, and offers hope for healing from their "N-fliction".

amazing

it was an eye opening I've been in a narcissistic relationship and i kinda knew it but was blinded by being in love but this book really reminds you to stop being in this relationship where the person isn't going to change ever unbelievable and whats sad is that after me their will be another victim so sad. To know people don't realize how bad this can get.

I come from a sucky family.

This to me was a powerful eye opening book. I enjoyed the practical real life case study style instruction. I felt the biggest weight lifted off of my chest the moment I got into the second chapter. My narcissistic father and brother can no longer lord power or position over me. Read this today. Tomorrow and the day after that.

A Godsend!! Just what I needed!

I married someone with narcissistic personality disorder. This book has described my wife perfectly. It gave me clarity, laser-like understanding and the confirmation that I needed. we are still married, but I am much more prepared and in a different place spiritually because of this book. some of the passages and the stories hit so close to home at. The author must have been watching us from afar LOL. the behaviors described or 1000% on point! I was just blown away, but better equipped, and understanding of why she acts the way that she does. and if it will be an end to this, it will be an end worth remembering because I now know why, how, and when these ridiculous behaviors occur. And I also know as I figured out earlier, that her behavior has nothing to do with me. My reactions to her behavior or text book behaviors for codependents, which I did not think I was. Rereading this chapter by chapter as we speak

Excellent content

It was very informative and enlightening content.

The use of “his or hers” and “him or her” and “he or she” every time was incredibly distracting and completely unnecessary. Pick one or the other. Alternate if you want. We get it that it could be either.

Especially good for a free listen!

Can recommend this one! Good and affirming book about being in a relationship with narcissistic types. A chapter related to parents seemed out of place so I just skipped it.

Side note—the narrator has a real talent for voicing different characters! Very well-done.
