Narcissistic tendencies ???

After being with my wife for over 10 years.

Some things have come apparent.

She always said a lot but her actions never really seem to add up.

There has been quite a few instances where she tell half truths or drip feeds the truth.

I believe this comes from her strict upbringing.

But when it comes to our marriage, she generally would pick to offend me over someone else.

This always puts me in a very negative state of mind.

As I’ve given my all to this marriage and as a sign of respect for it. I would never choose conflict between us over offending someone else.

We have created boundaries within our marriage which when discussed. work for both of us, but she seems to disregard them as it’s suits her.

She knows shes does it and we’ve discussed it, but she always picks upset me over anyone else.

Our day to day life is good,

We have a healthy sex life but trust issues from my side are developing.

On Some instances she likes to provoke an argument.

One example would be.

We did something different in the bedroom after she had returned from holiday with the kids.

I said “that was new”
She replied “maybe with you”
She then tells you to chill out it’s just a joke.

im starting to wonder if this is more of a game and she seem to like Provoking arguments.

What do you guys think ?

Certainly sounds narcissistic. Clip here discussing this. This coach has lots of useful titles.

It's a waking nightmare when you realise what you are involved with.
A fake.

I wish you strength and courage. I hope you get out.

A healthy relationship doesn't trigger this question. Just leave. She disregards boundaries you've set, so there's no use trying to compromise.

It sounds like really hard work. It will eventually affect your self esteem. You need to read her the riot act and get out.

Just getting out will suffice. The riot act will be a waste of your breath, and give her something to argue with.

Been there. Narcissists love the control. It won't end well. Make sure you record everything at that point. They will manipulate your kids but they ll likely see through after a while.
