Chapter 3 of My Book The Narcissistic Wife | Read Aloud

Описание: Is there an audiobook version of The Narcissistic Wife coming to Audible?
Yes—and in this video, I’m giving you a behind-the-scenes look at the recording process and letting you hear a full chapter for free.

In this episode, I share Chapter 3: “Abuse Behind Closed Doors” from my book The Narcissistic Wife—a chapter written specifically for men who feel confused, drained, and broken inside a marriage that doesn’t look abusive from the outside.

Many men tell me the same thing:

“Nothing technically bad happened… but I feel completely destroyed.”

That’s because narcissistic abuse rarely shows up as yelling or obvious cruelty.
It shows up as chronic invalidation, gaslighting, emotional withdrawal, conditional affection, and quiet control—patterns that slowly erode a man’s confidence, identity, and sense of reality.

In this video, we cover:

Why narcissistic abuse is often invisible to others

How gaslighting makes reality feel negotiable

Why silent treatment and emotional withdrawal are control tactics

How calm, composed behavior can still be deeply psychologically damaging

Why men stop trusting themselves and feel like they’re “losing their mind”

How identity erosion happens slowly—and why it’s not your fault

If you’ve ever struggled to explain what’s happening in your marriage…
If you’ve felt calmer away from her than with her…
If you’ve been told “she seems nice” while quietly falling apart…

This episode is for you.
