What are you sorry about?

As I reflect on my relationship with my partner whom I suspect to be a covert narcissist, I find myself shouldering the burden of her happiness, only to realize the futility in my efforts to make her happy. It’s a hard truth to accept that Cluster B's are fully aware of their actions and unlikely to change, no matter how much love we pour into the relationship.

I’ve struggled with the dual personas of my wife, questioning if Cluster B's are truly capable of love and empathy, given their tendencies towards manipulation and lack of emotional understanding. The traits of covert narcissists, such as gaslighting and manipulation, weigh heavily on my mind, underscoring the importance of not taking responsibility for their behavior.

I urge you not to blame yourself for your Cluster B's actions and to refrain from apologizing for them. It’s crucial to prioritize your well-being and set boundaries when dealing with individuals who exhibit such toxic behaviors.
