do bipolar marriages work
A marriage requires work and commitment by each spouse to succeed. If both partners are reasonably well balanced and mentally healthy, work can pay a mutually fulfilling, happy relationship. However, if your spouse has a personality disorder, for example, narcissism or sociopathy / psychopathy, the entire effort in the world on their part is unlikely that any difference in improving their relationship. It is likely that the behavior of their partner in the relationship is puzzling, hurtful and damaging. While only a licensed mental health professional can make a diagnosis of personality disorder is useful to know what to look for. Here are 9 signs your partner may have a personality disorder:
1. The lack of empathy. Your partner may lack the ability to put himself in the shoes of others. This makes their behavior seem insensitive and selfish.
2. The lack of guilt and remorse. Your partner can not have a conscience as you do. In any case, your spouse may feel as if he or she is entitled to do things that hurt others, because the victims are weak and "constructed" to take advantage of periods.
3. Behavior and poor impulse control. Your partner may not be able to delay gratification. This can lead to abuse and substance addiction, affairs, and other compulsive behaviors.
4. If not conform to social norms. Your partner may feel and behave as if the rules society do not apply to him or her.
5. A sense of entitlement. Your partner may want and expect preferential treatment, showing an arrogant attitude towards others.
6. Trend towards violent behavior. Many people with personality disorders have a higher propensity to behave violently.
7. Self-esteem great. Your partner may overstate the success and expect and hope too much admiration, "narcissistic supply" that narcissists crave like a drug.
8. The manipulation, cheating, lying and compulsive. Your partner can lie about anything and everything, and / or scheme and manipulate to get what they want, regardless the consequences for others.
9. Consistent irresponsibility. Your partner may have difficulty honoring commitments and live a responsible life. He or she may have difficulty holding down and constant work, or pay bills on time.
