narcissism in relationships

Narcissism is one of those words that people use a lot. Have you heard something similar to these statements?
  • He only cares about himself. Only doing what’s best for him. He’s so selfish.

let's get REALatable

It's time to take things a step further & get a little intimate with a Q&A. What do you say?😉 Learn a little bit about the faces behind all of this relationship gold. This week we're chatting with  Mitchell Qualls, husband of 17 years to his wife  Dalet, a dad of 2, and the VP of Operations here at First Things First. Let's get REALatable💛 & learn a little bit about him: Q: Would you rather watch a movie or TV show? A: 📺 Ohh, that's a tough one. Depends on my options. I love a good movie but there a few shows I'd watch non-stop. If I had to make a choice in a moment, give me "The Big Bang Theory" anytime. Q: What did you want to be when you grew up? A: ⚾️ I really wanted to be a baseball player or work for a Major League team. Sadly, neither happened. There's still hope though...to work for a team. I'm too old to be out there playing baseball. Q: Favorite way to workout? A: 🏃 I really enjoy running. I've never been the biggest fan of working out but running has become my go to. It's a nice mental reset.
