Number 6: They criticize their wives for losing their self-confidence.
Narcissists are known for being very critical of others and their wives are no exception. When a narcissist is married, he often criticizes his wife so that she will lose her self-confidence and become dependent on him. They will often criticize their spouse’s appearance, intelligence, behaviour, and intentions. They will constantly find fault with them and make them feel like they are not good enough.
The goal of this criticism is not to help the person grow or improve, but instead, to make them feel bad about themselves, so they become more dependent on the narcissist and less likely to leave them. They will do this to take away the wife’s confidence, so she constantly questions herself and feels like she cannot do anything right. This is a way for them to control their wives and keep them in line.
Number 7: They expect their wives to do everything for them.
Narcissists expect their spouses to care for, love, and support them in every way possible. They expect their wives to be perfect wives and mothers, but they don’t give their wives the same kind of support. They expect their wives to be perfect, but they are not. In fact, the only thing that seems to matter is how well the wife can keep up with all of her chores and duties. Suppose she does not perform these tasks perfectly. In that case, she will be punished by her narcissistic husband or abandoned by him altogether.

Narcissists can be very demanding in controlling their wives. They expect them to do everything for them, including cooking dinner, cleaning the house, and raising the children. He will treat her like his maid, cook, and housekeeper, while he sets back and relaxes. Narcissists make demands of her, but don’t expect the fact that she has any needs herself. The wife often feels like a slave to her husband’s every whim.
Number 8: Narcissists treat their wives like possessions.
A narcissist will use his wife as a way to show off his success, wealth, and power. He will show her off at parties in other social events, but only if she’s looking her best. A narcissist doesn’t want anyone else to see his wife as less than perfect, so he tends to be highly controlling about what she wears and how she looks. He may even go as far as to dictate what kind of makeup she can wear or what hairstyle she should have.
The narcissist also sees his wife as an extension of himself. She sees her as a possession that belongs to him and no one else. Suppose she does something wrong or makes a mistake. In that case, narcissists will punish her. The Narcissist will put her down in front of others or will hold affection from her until she suffers and learns her lesson.
