Sorry I was with a narcissist for a few years and I had to take a powder. Nobody can be with them for a long time with risking losing their own sanity in my opinion.
Mind you, it doesn't stop if you have children with them but it's not a steady, daily dose of it so it is easier to work with from a distance.
And without thinking you are going crazy, you can even sometimes sit back and laugh at some of the wonky things they do and say. You just have to shake your head at times.
My best advice is if you can--leave now. They never change, they never get better and there is NO CURE for it. That would mean them admitting that they had a problem--Narcisscists depend on the fact that they are persecuted by the world for their survival.
Best of Luck.

Sorry, not me . When i look what about it is, you must be person really dedicated to deal with somebody like that. Maybe you are just used to be, accepted and got the best from the person for yourself. You just have to give up or accepted a lot to keep the relationship going. Maybe there is some satisfaction but only you know about it. Be strong or quit for your own good.

no it ended in a divorce, i never managed it very well, but throughout the marriage i was the one giving, the one who felt hurt, the one cheated on. i was always the one who had to put my wants and needs last.just doesn't work, after awhile you become resentful, you eventually confront the narcissistic,and ususally his response is to ask for a divorce because he is too selfish to put any effort in working out problems.

my dad has one. It is so challenging living with only him being a 17 year old girl. I hate him some times, but at the end of the day i still love him. I guessing its the same with marriage. If this is some thing you can live with because of the love you have for this person, live with it. My mom couldnt so she left us. it hurt and i can promise you it made him [dad] alot worse.
