How Many Sexless Marriages End in Divorce?

If you have been unfortunate enough to have been married to a narcissist, you know what it is like to be in a relationship that is hurtful, confusing, and leaves you questioning yourself and your worth. Perhaps you chose to leave the marriage because your partner behaved so outrageously or destructively that staying wasn't feasible. Or perhaps your spouse left you, deciding you were no longer a valuable source of admiration and praise, and that he or she could get more "narcissistic supply" elsewhere.

In any case, the aftermath can be confusing and painful. Perhaps your partner put you through the wringer during your divorce, fighting every issue, depleting finances, and expressing an attitude that you deserved absolutely nothing. Maybe despite your best efforts, he or she walked away with more time with the kids than you wanted him or her to have, and you are scared of the consequences. It is important that you guard your well being and take extra care of yourself as you recover from this traumatic process. Here are 3 steps to moving on to a better place emotionally after a marriage to a narcissist:

1. Take very good care of yourself physically. Eat right, eliminate processed foods and refined sugars as much as possible, and take vitamins and supplements as needed. Exercise regularly, and make yourself a real priority.

2. Spend time with every possible support network person you have in your life. The narcissist is powerful with words and has decimated your confidence in yourself and your feeling of worth, competence, and even sanity. It is vital that you counteract this programming with the input of those who love, support, and believe in you. You can help increase your sense of real, and your own accurate and positive self perception, by spending time around these people.

3. Spend some time with yourself, looking at what attracted you and kept you with your narcissist spouse in the first place. Counseling is a great idea to help you put your past into perspective - as well as remind you of what your narcissist is so you can stay on guard and prevent being taken in again. If at all possible, sever contact with the narcissist. He or she will never empathize or give you closure, and is far more likely to try to trap you in the web again. If you must have contact, keep it business and brief.
