NEVER EVER EVER bow to a Narc. There are ways to destroy them if you cant walk away for some reason. I told a friend of mine with a narc husband that she cant yet leave yet to destroy him. She has followed my advice and he's losing it because she's not taking his crap and he doesn't like it. Its exhausting for me at times as I have to keep her strong but shes seeing that she can at least gain some semblance of her power now.

You need to be careful with your advice to your friend

Many people complain about their partner because they don't like their partner, they label them a narcissist. When the scenario is two people not getting along, not that one has a serious personality disorder

The part where you advise to "destroy him" that's not good either, that would make your friend the narcissist. Because that's what narcissists do, they destroy people. I don't recommend having the attitude where you are "out to get someone" because the minute you think like that, you become like the person you despise

Boundaries are good, essential

But you better hope to God that your friend's husband isn't a real narcissist because that's dangerous for her, and you would need to be very careful with the advice you give if that's truly the case

No, not everyone that you don't like is a narcissist
