Has anyone been/is married to a man with narcissistic bipolar disorder?

Question

Would like to hear from anyone that is or was married to a man who was narcissistic and made your life miserable. What kinds of things he did. What you did or have done to get your life back together, etc.

Answer 1

...if you are or were married to a narcissistic bipolar man , then you have officially been through hell and back...... one of those is bad enough ....though bipolar people do tend to be narcissistic anyway... when they are up its all about them and when they crash- its still all about them, though the down periods focus on making others miserable... as well.....I was never married to one but I know someone who is... and he drives her out of her mind... with or with out medication... its just worse without..best wishes to you if you have gone thru this too! don't look back...

Answer 2

I was married to someone who was narcisstic bipolar. He was also a truck driver. He would work a awhile then sleep with a prostitute and quit his job , go into the hospital, then confess his guilty conscience.
We were married 11 years. I finall asked for a seperation but he filed for divorce and I signed the papers and let it become final. But I had to leave town because he would not leave alone. Now I am with someone wonderful who adores me and treats me like a lady. He gives me everything I need emotionally, physically, ect.
That is how I got my life back together.

Answer 3

I am, and it is sheer hell. I am trying to get divorced, but he is such a mean hearted bully, that he has actually threatened to kill me, make me "disappear", destroy me personally and professionally, and I could go on. To top it off, we have two little daughters that he is starting to make attempts to manipulate, too. Just last Sunday, he called our 4 year old a dumb *** and pulled her hair when she made a noise he didn't like. The girls and I moved out 15 months ago, but since all he wants to do is fight about everything and threaten me we have gotten nowhere. I have even actually offered to not take my half of the equity built up in the house, give him half of my 401K account (sizable), that when we got married, he did sign a prenup. acknowledging this money is mine, not accept child support, etc., just to get away from him. He is so controlling, that I can't even buy my freedom.

I had gradually become isolated from all friends and family, told how stupid I was all of the time, responsible for everything, (working full time, paying bills, caring for girls, all household duties, inside and out, making his appointments........) he would follow me and spy on me because he thought if I worked a little overtime, or spent over an hour at the grocery store, I must have been cheating on him. All gifts came with strings attached. He thought that since he worked hard for his money, he deserved to do whatever he wanted with it. My money was the "family money".
I could go on, but this is getting long. I hope you will be able to restore your life to how you want it to be.
God bless.
