I somehow agree with that. She would like to know everything that is happening in my life and at the same time she doesn't have much to tell about what has happened in her life apart from work. She often tells me what she has heard on the news.

I never thought of her as a narcissist. She hardly does anything truly beneficial for herself. If one asks her where would she like to go, she would say that she would go anywhere where we would like to go. If it's food - anything we would eat. If it's activities - anything that we would do. It is actually really hard to deal with that.
