Can Two Narcissists Ever Have A Long-Term Relationship?

I was diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder for sometime now. In fact I was diagnosed by a very horrible man... he thought sleeping with me would help speed up the therapy processs. WRONG, now I need more therapy due to what he did to me. ANYWAY I have had many short-term relationships due to the "narcissism." But now I think I've found the man I want to spend the rest of my life with. He is so amazing. He is 6'0 220 solid and he is amazing in bed. Problem? Well I think he may be narcissistic too. He interrupts me when I talk only for him to talk about himself. He will talk about past girlfriends to my face. He has no empathy whatsoever. I haven't told him about the "eelationship" my therapist and I had because I don't know how he will react. I love this man. I mean we both are very competative. We have a lot of the same interests. We both work out and lift weights. We both are very proud of our bodies. Do you think this could work? I mean the relationship. Can 2 ppl with narcissism make it work? I would like your opinions on this because I honestly don't know if I am just wasting my time.

I don't think a "true" narcissist would be bothered about asking anyone else their opinions. sounds to me like you got a wrong dx. A true narcissist rarely seeks therapy in any instance, let alone they need it. I'm not sure whats going on here with this post, but your not a narcissist.

I wouldn't base a long-term relationship just on common interests either; that's a friendship. If you have kids or become ill you'll want help and someone who can put their/ your needs first. That's what "love" is, caring about the other.

It doesn't sound like your boyfriend is very respectful to you, I wouldn't want to live with that full-time year in and year out? You are asking the question too, I don't hear any such interest from him? You can't form a lasting relationship by yourself.

yeah I didn't really buy into that dx either considering who it came from lol ty for thinking im not a narcissist.

I agree with Perna it sounds like the positives are looks, intimacy, etc. Empathy is so important in any relationship I mean this is what we look for from our T's because we didn't get it from our parents etc.

You don't seem like a narcissist to me either. Good luck!

Narcissists do tend to surround themselves with others who help them maintain a high or perfect image of themselves as perfect, successful, etc. They like everyone around them to make them look good. Another narcissist might seem to help maintain that image, so it would be possible for a long-term relationship to be formed on that basis. However, there are potential problems. Neither would like it if the other appears to show them up. Also, the inflated self-image is an illusion and underneath that narcissists are vulnerable and defensive. Any relationship based on false selves anf false images (which could apply to any personality disorder or other mental disorder also) probably won't be a very satisfying relationship. If you can work towards revealing more of your real self first, you will have better relationships.
