I survived a 12 yr. marriage to a narcissist. It wasn't until 4-5 yrs into our marriage, that he gradually started to say & do things out of the normal. If he was suspicious of anything I did, he would "even the score" somehow, just to be despiteful. [MOD] deleted as inappropriate [/MOD] Eventually, it got worse when he reunited with an "old friend"... Meth!. He quit when I came in his life. Although, he would always say woman can't handle dope. I never thought that those words were meant for me and would bring havoc into my life and be used again myself or by my husband. I had never done drugs before, however, my brother didn't hide the effects to good. After our second child, I wanted my tubes tied and decided to tell him at the last minute and well, hear him tell it, i wanted to cheat and not have baby with another other than him. Things continued down hill, I became addicted to meth and my husband's uncle pressured me to the point
I guess her key words of saying she "survived" her marriage & that it was the, "past" made me jump to that conclusion. I also meant to add at the end, "...I hope?"

Having also been married for 12 years to an 'N' (eventually clinically diagnosed as BPD, with NPD 'co-morbidity'), I can 'relate'. And yeah, also experienced my own share of 'drama'. Though in the wisdom of hindsight, these days I tend to ask myself why I continued to stay for so long?!
