The Vulnerable Narcissistic Wife

In this video Darren Magee discusses the characteristics and traits in vulnerable (covert) narcissism, and what to expect if in a relationship with a covert / vulnerable narcissistic wife.

4 Fantasies over other partners / compares husband unfavourably with ex

5 Lack of empathy / thoughtlessness / lack of insight

6 Hyper sensitive to criticism / behaves as if crushed

7 No interest, wants nothing to do husband - doesn't want anyone else to have anything to do with him either
