Coping with Infidelity: When Your Partner Might Be a Narcissist

You know, let's swim with the rats, and that's the best I could do.
Imagine discovering your spouse is cheating and suspecting they might be a narcissist. That’s the tough situation one listener finds himself in, and Craig and Greg are here to help untangle this mess. In this episode of 'The Solution', the hosts dive deep into the murky waters of infidelity and narcissistic personality disorder.

Craig shares a particularly raw and personal story about his own run-in with a narcissistic partner, offering a glimpse into the emotional rollercoaster that comes with such relationships. He talks about the importance of 'swimming with the rats'—a metaphor for not letting a narcissist dictate your life and finding your tribe who truly understands your struggles. Throughout the episode, Craig and Greg emphasize self-care and the critical role of support from friends and family.
Their advice is heartfelt, practical, and aimed at helping listeners find a way out of the darkness. If you or someone you know is grappling with similar issues, this episode provides not just insights but also a comforting sense of camaraderie. Tune in for an honest conversation that promises to leave you feeling less alone and more empowered to take the next steps toward healing.
