I wasn\u2019t invited to the Conway wedding, but I\u2019m going to go out on a limb and suggest that somewhere in the ceremony, there were words like this:<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you, Kellyanne, take George to be your lawful husband? Will you love him, honor and keep him in sickness and in health and forsaking all others keep only unto him so long as you both shall live?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Kellyanne: \u00a0\u201cI will. I Kellyanne take you, George, to be my lawful husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health while we both shall live.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

We all know marriages don\u2019t always hold to such standards, unfortunately. That being said, has there ever been a more public breakdown of communication between a married couple than what is going on between the Conways?<\/p>\n

The two could not be further apart, when it comes to their publicly stated opinions about Kellyanne\u2019s boss, President Trump.<\/p>\n

Kellyanne Conway has become infamous, not for her current position, but because it is apparently in her job description to lie, lie often, and raise the outrageousness of each new lie with every interview.<\/p>\n

Some networks have questioned the wisdom in even having her on, if her only purpose would appear to be promoting the latest sloppily-constructed misinformation emerging from the White House.<\/p>\n

On the other side is husband George, who has come out as a particularly harsh and consistent critic of Trump.<\/p>\n

For as wonderful as Kellyanne claims Trump to be, George has turned pointing out how very awful the president is into an art form.<\/p>\n

Recently, in the thick of Trump\u2019s Twitter nastiness towards deceased Republican Senator John McCain, George Conway posted a page from the DSM-5, which is the diagnostic manual used by mental health professionals to diagnose mental or personality disorders.<\/p>\n

This is the page, describing the signs of Narcissistic Personality Disorder<\/a>, posted by Conway:<\/p>\n

In the American Psychiatric Association\u2019s\u00a0Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition\u00a0<\/em>(DSM-5<\/em>),\u00a0[1]\u00a0<\/sup>NPD is defined as comprising a pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), a constant need for admiration, and a lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by the presence of at least 5 of the following 9 criteria:<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
