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

Well there could be a couple of things going on here. 1) if you want to see if he has narcisstic personality disorder, you can look up some information from the DSM-IV-TR, the book of mental health diagnosis. Without knowing much about him, I cant tell you for sure. the other is 2) he is emotionally abusive to you because that is who he is. This may not be much detail for you, I would need to know more about him.

Answer 2

If your self-worth is declining, imagine what impact your husband is having on your child! Does it matter if he is a narcissist? You need to get out NOW, because he is emotionally abusive. It will only get worse unless there is some intervention. The next step is physical abuse. Set a good example for your child; you don't want them growing up in a loveless, abusive home, and thinking their parents' behavior is normal. Break the cycle of abuse, and your child, and you, will be mentally healthier.

Answer 3

Who cares if he is or isnt,if he makes you feel unworthy or less than he expects, then you have some troubles.I'm assuming he thinks that since you guys have a child together he more or less owns you and you wont go anywhere,maybe he needs a taste of lonliness.Hope you are strong willed and stick to what you say,I hate sleeping alone,especially if there is a women in my life(hint hint) yeah cut him off.But I see this quite often and the women always thinks she cant do any better and gives in.Good Luck!!

Answer 4

Is he selfish, doesn't take your feelings into consideration. Remember, your child is watching this and taking notes. If she is a girl she will think this is the way women are to be treated. Is this what you want for your daughter. If not, you have your answer.
