You must be familiar with the term narcissism and you may even have come across a few narcissists.<\/p>
A narcissist is often referred to as a self-obsessed person who wants to be the center of attraction in any crowd, and who always turns around the conversation to promote himself, talking about his exploits and achievements. They consider themselves above the rest – too good-looking, too smart, too accomplished, and too successful.<\/p>
Narcissism is often seen in varying degrees in a majority of the population. However, it is diagnosed as such and comes under narcissistic personality disorder only in severe cases. The undiagnosed narcissists are plentiful among us and you may even end up marrying one.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Narcissism is medically diagnosed by a qualified medical health professional who follows the guidelines listed in the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth and Fifth Edition (DSM-IV and DSM-V).<\/p> For diagnosis as a narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), an individual must exhibit at least five among the nine symptoms specified in DSM-IV.

However, in the specific context of relationship and marriage, here are some warning signs to look out for. These include both narcissistic husband signs and narcissistic wife signs.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t In the initial days of a relationship, narcissistic tendencies are hard to identify. As your relationship continues and you get to know your partner better, these signs will become clearer.<\/p> Here are some hard-to-miss warning signs of a covert narcissistic husband or wife.<\/b><\/p> If you identify your partner as a narcissist, it is high time you review and re-evaluate your relationship.
