I think my husband is a NARCISSST...like NPD...?

Question

How can I find out for sure, I am finding my self worth seriously destroyed since being with him, we have a child together and this man is unbelievable, not in the good way.

Answer 1

If he makes you feel that way you gotta do something. I wouldn't live with anyone who made me feel like less.

Answer 2

Visit a doctor with the qualifications to diagnose narcissitic personality disorder. Websites that describe the disorder are not training enough for you to be able to say "he's a narcissist" Why? Well, it could be something else such as a mood disorder or something else. Besides, most of those "omg I'm a victim of a narcisistic person" websites are full of the most pathetic people to walk this planet who call anyone who doesn't agree with them a narcissist. Infact, I'm fairly certain that the people who write those websites have NPD. So, seek counselling. If your husband won't go with you, do it on your own. You really shouldn't let anyone eat away at your self esteem like that. Maybe you have a dependant personality disorder? Haha, just joking! I can't diagnose online. No one can. Good luck with that.

Answer 3

Well if he does have this disorder, it would be sad. It is not curable. I pray you are wrong and perhaps he is just a selfish man? Sometimes men can be immature and selfish, have you tried counseling?

Don't jump to the NPD conclusion, a lot of people fit those symptoms. Rule out other things first.

Best of luck to you.
