Will a relationship last if both of them are narcissists?

Answer 1

I am not an expert but thru my experience with an N the answer is no. From what I have read about Ns my ex was exactly like what I have read on here. No one can make a relationship work with them because the relationship is not up to you whether it works its up to them. You can't win with a N no matter what ur personality. If u are dependant on them they see as weak and having total control over u this gives them the go ahead to treat u like crap. They think they can treat u however u want and u won't leave because u need them. If ur the opposite they will leave u because they can't control u. And then theres the trait where they get bored with people quickly nad dump you or push you to your limit so you dump them and its ur fault not theres. That is why when I see people on here say theres hope for them I disagree. If u even want to try to help which I did, they dont love so theres no insentive for them to stay in a relationship they only need your presence and admiration not your love so they can just move on anytime. Also, the pieces of the puzzle usually doesn't all come together until the end. Then u know what u were dealing with and its too late to help they've already written u off and moved on. U can't be in a relationship with soemone who can't love they won't stay around they dont need to. They have nothing invested emotionally.

Answer 2

To a point. But it will always be somewhat shallow, and will mostly revolve around only them. You might be able to salvage some relationship with a person who goes in and out of Narcissistic behaviors but a true narcissist has only enough room for themselves. Sad, but true. Depends on their level of Narcissism/ Some hard core ones will never give anyone else top billing but themselves. So a relationship involving another person is all an illusion. They will always put themselves first, and demand the right to do so. It is a lousy way to go through life. They miss out on a lot. But you can;t change them or tell them any different. It is their world view and is ingrained in them, often for life. It is a life sentence for them and anyone who has the misfortune to be around them.
