Hi,
I have been reading various threads in Relationships as dH and I having the usual bickering.But freaking out my dH is exhbiting signs of NPD?
This is my first post, so I will try to be concise.
Married with 2 children (3 &5). Essentially ok but communication is poor between us.
Argue about who works harder (he does)as I am part time. Not enough sx (he thinks)2-3 times a week!
He is very disengaged from family post work but his job is tiring and stressful.
If I try and tell him how i feel (neglected, like the housekeeper not a wife)or about anything really, I am told I am 'wrong to feel like that' or I am 'mad' or 'mental' if I say his behaviour upsets me. This of course makes me cross and then as I start to get angry as I feel he is not listening, this is just ammunititon for him to tell me I am 'unstable' for getting angry!He also told me he didn't want to be with someone who didn't want to have sx with him. I was extreemly upset by this as I do just not every day!
Also the ignoring me for days at a time he states is 'justified'in doing this due to how I have treated him.
He is NEVER wrong about anything and when I say I just want him to listen to my feelings, he replys that is just me wanting to be right.
I am sooo frustrated. Is this NPD behaviour or is he just really annoying? What can I do? I am worried the children will start to pick up on the ignoring tactics
Sorry not concise at all.
:(
