I thought I answered this before but I don't think it posted. You can't sue a narcissist unless the lies caused you to lose money or property and you can prove it. Exceptions would be suits involving divorce or custody. Its nearly impossible to sue for mental anguish anymore. ~ T Hi, If physical abuse was involved in your relationship, then you can report him to the appropriate authorities or Police. But apart from that, I'm not sure what else you can do. Hopefully someone else may be able to help you a lot more than I can. Good luck. It is often quite impossible to prove what happened and what a partner said in the privacy of your own home.

What is the best approach to take when dealing with a client with narcissistic personality disorder?
Realize that the narcissist is ALWAYS right and will argue to the death. They may come to you for advise, but seldom take it. Didn't you know they know everything about ALL things! You have to treat a narcissist with tender hooks as I am sure you know. Give a little, but be sneaky and take a little (let the narcissist think it's their idea.) It's sort of like a woman wanting something from her husband, but she's sneaky about how she asks for it or doing business with companies or any client. The narcissist will TELL YOU about THEM and how things should be, so being patient is a virtue and however boring nod every so often and say something like, 'You have a point.' NEVER engage in debate. You'll feel like you've been in a rubber room for months if you do. If possible take a bit of the opinions your client is telling you and add it into your ideas and make sure you stress this in conversation. You could say something like, 'I like that idea you just mentioned so how about we incorporate it into this.' There is no failure by you if a client is extremely difficult and very narcissistic and telling them to seek out another company. It's better than ending up being driven mad and ending up with nothing from this client.
Can a narcissist love his spouse or only be obsessed?
Narcissists "love" their spouses or other significant othersas long as they continue to reliably provide them with Narcissistic Supply (in one word, with attention). Inevitably, they regard others as mere "sources", objects, or functions. Lacking empathy and emotional maturity, the narcissist's love is pathological. But the precise locus of the pathology depends on the narcissist's stability or instability in different parts of his life.More inputWe are, therefore, faced with two pathological forms of narcissistic "love".One type of narcissist "loves" others as one would attach to objects. He "loves" his spouse, for instance, simply because she exists and is available to provide him with Narcissistic Supply. He "loves" his children because they are part of his self-image as a successful husband and father. He "loves" his "friends" because and only as long as he can exploit them. Such a narcissist reacts with alarm and rage to any sign of independence and autonomy in his "charges". He tries to "freeze" everyone around him in their "allocated" positions and "assigned roles". His world is rigid and immovable, predictable and static, fully under his control. He punishes for "transgressions" against this ordained order. He thus stifles life as a dynamic process of compromising and growing ? rendering it instead a mere theatre, a tableau vivant.The other type of narcissist abhors monotony and constancy, equating them, in his mind, with death. He seeks upheaval, drama, and change ? but only when they conform to his plans, designs, and views of the world and of himself. Thus, he does not encourage growth in his nearest and dearest. By monopolizing their lives, he, like the other kind of narcissist, also reduces them to mere objects, props in the exciting drama of his life.This narcissist likewise rages at any sign of rebellion and disagreement. But, as opposed to the first sub-species, he seeks to animate others with his demented energy, grandiose plans, and megalomaniacal self-perception. An adrenaline junkie, his world is a whirlwind of comings and goings, reunions and separations, loves and hates, vocations adopted and discarded, schemes erected and dismantled, enemies turned friends and vice versa. His Universe is equally a theatre, but a more ferocious and chaotic one.Where is love in all this? Where is the commitment to the loved one's welfare, the discipline, the extension of oneself to incorporate the beloved, the mutual growth? Nowhere to be seen. The narcissist's "love" is hate and fear disguised fear of losing control and hatred of the very people his precariously balanced personality so depends on. The narcissist is egotistically committed only to his own well-being. To him, the objects of his "love" are interchangeable and inferior.He idealizes his nearest and dearest not because he is smitten by emotion ? but because he needs to captivate them and to convince himself that they are worthy Sources of Supply, despite their flaws and mediocrity. Once he deems them useless, he discards and devalues them similarly cold-bloodedly. A predator, always on the lookout, he debases the coin of "love" as he corrupts everything else in himself and around him.More inputI think everyone have 2 components in them... the narcissism and the love... Me too... When we broke up and she went back to her bf... I cried then felt immense rage, but then...after a couple weeks, when it subsided, I realised that i loved her. Yes i did love her. There was always a part of me who wanted to call her and get back with her... telling her what she wanted to hear... that i love her... but every time it got blocked by the narcissism. I got very close... but it was always blocked. I did not realise only afterwards... Something was blocking me from expressing my emotions...More inputA narcissist is human and, like most of us, will want love in a natural way. Sometimes that part will be heard and felt by a person who is a narcissist. However, it will often be repressed by fear or warped logic.

Why would a shy mutual crush ignore your presence?
Honestly, it's probably because you're crush is getting the hints that you like him/her. And they may be scared. And they're just not ready for a relationship. Trying telling jokes around him/her. It's always a good conversation starter.
Should you be cordial to a friend of your ex-narcissist if it is clear this person believes the narcissist's lies about you?
I think you would be adding to your woes if you worry about this other person. If this acquaintance believes what the N is telling him/her, then he is in the throes of the N, and is a source of Narcissistic Supply. Therefore, if you let it bother you, if you approach this person before they approach you, they will tell the N and then you will be in the vicious N circle of involvement again. Let it go. If this person actually approaches you, be truthful. Say something simple like, "I did the best I could and our relationship did not work out". Leave it at that and get on with the good things in life. Be strong. Peace, mbme dont go out of your way to be nice. just be polite and neutral if situations necessitate contact of any kind. Dont bring his name up at all or discuss your personal life. I had a situation at work where the N was telling a coworker lies about me and basically had her hating my guts. We had our ins and outs. I just kept my distance. Then circumstances dictated i share close office quarters with her. By then he had done some things to piss her off, we learned to get along (co-worker and I) and she saw him for what he really is. All the hard feelings between the coworker and i evaporated. Now we have anew girl in the ofice with us that is frinds with him and we are working on how to handle it the best we can. IT really helps to have someone on your side that understands. If this person he turned against you has ANY common sense he/she will see the truth and come to resent him and might be your friend someday. Just give it time. C
Can you sue a narcissist for telling you lies and abusing you throughout the relationship?
Emotional abuse can be grounds for a lawsuit and can potentially win if the behavior is deemed as "outrageous", extreme. A tough case to make but possible depending on factors like how well you can prove the damage and how significant it was.

Is there a term for people attracted to Narcissists and those who stay with Narcissists for fairly long periods of time?
Many times the victims of narcissists will blame themselves for the destruction of their relationship or for somehow being attracted to someone who is so obviously flawed. The simple reality is, even the narcissist can become quite competent at making someone else feel good for a while. Compulsive liars keep doing what they do because they get good at it and keep convincing everyone that they're telling the truth. It's the same with the narcissist. He/she can make their victims feel good about themselves... up to the point when the relationship is more certain, then the narcissist can show his/her true colors. It's hard to terminate a relationship. Even a destructive relationship like the one you describe. Once you've identified that the problem started with the narcissist, you can start to forgive yourself for reacting to what you've been through, and you can get started moving forward. No, there is nothing wrong with you. But if you keep it up after you've identified the problem, you have nobody to blame but yourself. Now go get involved with a support group and start repairing your life.
