11 in their mind, they’re entitled.
Narcissists actually believe they deserve s.e.x and have a right to demand it whenever they want, even if you’re sleeping, working, or occupied with something else, even something critically important. Maybe you’ve just given birth to a child, had surgery, or maybe you’re sick. It doesn’t matter. If the narcissist wants it, as far as they’re concerned, they’re entitled to it. They expect s.e.x on demand. They especially expect s.e.x in return for gifts, favors, or anything else they deem to have done for you. And if necessary, they’re perfectly willing to trick, deceive, manipulate, or guilt trip you into having s.e.x with them on their timeline. It’s a game for them. It’s all about their own gratification with little to no consideration for your comfort, your wants, your needs, desires, wishes, or your wellbeing for that matter. And if you dare assert a boundary or express a need, they’ll do and say whatever it takes to make you feel bad for having done so. They may even go so far as to tell you that you’re the one who’s high maintenance or you’re being selfish if you don’t give into their demands. So romantic.
12 They enjoy demeaning you.
Narcissists are condescending, mean, and often cruel even. They’ll criticize, diminish, demean, and devalue you with zero restraint, regret, or remorse. They’ll go out of their way both passively and aggressively to show you just how insignificant and inferior you are, and they’ll usually do this by ignoring or ghosting you altogether, often when you least expect it. You know, for maximum impact.
13 They display signs of s.e.x addiction.
Now, s.e.x addiction is a big topic, and obviously not all narcissists are s.e.x addicts, but a lot of them are. It’s a subject that’s worthy of an entire article of its own, but suffice to say some of the classic signs of s.e.x addiction are for example engaging in s.e.x ual acts with multiple partners. In other words, cheating, or wanting to bring others into the dynamic and sanctity of your relationship. They’ll minimize and be dismissive of the obvious risks of the promiscuous behavior, like for example, their infidelity, or their obsession with watching porn while simultaneously having less and less interest in you. And like any addict active in their addiction, they’ll be fully unwilling to discuss the problem and will likely become angry when you try to broach the subject. And guess who will be to blame for all of it? You guessed it. You. I promise you, if this is going on in your relationship, you are not the issue. Get the support and guidance that you need in order to be able to take care of yourself, no matter what is going on with the narcissist. Give yourself the gift. You deserve it. And with that, I’m gonna call it a wrap, but don’t stop now.
