"After all, these are individuals who will use you to their advantage, lie, cheat, and-worst of all-show no remorse. Maybe even more troubling is that a partner with these qualities is likely to exhibit behaviors that spill out into other spheres of your life. If you've had a particularly upsetting clash with your lying and unapologetic partner, how can you not carry feelings of misery over into your other relationships, not to mention your job?"
"You may not even have a partner who ranks high on psychopathy but still wonder how your partner's personality might affect your own ability to perform at your best. What are you learning from your partner that you're using to help you in other aspects of life? Maybe your partner is super nice (or high on " agreeableness "), and you're learning that maybe you should be a little nicer with other people as well. The process can go in multiple directions; with luck, yours goes in a positive direction."
People high in psychopathy generally make poor long-term relationship partners, often using, lying to, and exploiting their partners while showing no remorse. Such partners frequently display behaviors that spill into other life domains, causing negative emotions that can affect other relationships and job performance. Partner personality traits can also shape personal behavior in positive directions when partners model agreeableness or helpful habits. Research on home-to-work spillover examines links between partner psychopathy and occupational outcomes and suggests that although psychopathic partners harm relationships, some risky relationships may produce unintended advantages that transfer to work.
