The Marriage Lie

by Kimberly Belle

Only, how can you love a person you don’t really know?

Narcissists are hard to spot, as they’re often skilled at hiding their disorder from the world.

When you know what to look for, spotting a lie is pretty easy. You see it in the fidgets and sudden head movements or sometimes, when the person is overcompensating, through no movements at all. In how their breathing changes, or how they provide too much information, repeating phrases and offering up irrelevant details. In the way they shuffle their feet or touch their mouths or put a hand to their throats. It’s basic psychology, physical signals that the body doesn’t agree with the words coming out of its mouth.
