(8,445 posts)Very insightful.
I, too, was married to a narcissist. I am so thankful that I got out, even if it took me over two decades. At first he treated me like I was a treasure, BUT I realized that he sometimes wasn't treating others well. I thought I could soften him. I thought I could bring out this nice person that I thought must dwell within him. I ultimately realized that he was exactly who appeared to me to be all the way through, from the outside to his core.
I have theories about what made him that way. Some horrible things happened in his childhood. I feel sorry for him for what he went through, but the best thing for me, and the rest of my family, was when I finally realized that I had to be done with him. There is no "fixing" a narcissist.
I agree about Melania. I, personally, am practically nauseated at the mere site of her, but she is not important. She is nothing.
