#32: Steven Pemberton – From Trauma to Triumph, Emotional Detachment, Faith & Free Will in the Entrepreneur's Life
The Josh Boone Show
How Narcissism Destroys Marriages and Relationships
The speaker reflects on how his model of marriage, based on his parents' dynamic, almost destroyed his own marriage. He learned that providing for someone doesn't necessarily mean expressing love in the way they need it. The speaker realizes that his own narcissistic tendencies, feeling superior and separate from others, affected his ability to love his wife. He acknowledges that successful individuals like Steve Jobs and Jeff Bezos may possess certain degrees of narcissism, but warns against bringing these traits into relationships. This belief in superiority can lead to controlling and manipulating behaviors, preventing intimacy and causing relationship issues. The speaker emphasizes the importance of equality in relationships, recognizing and valuing each other's strengths and differences, rather than comparing and competing.
