Every occasion, others birthdays, holidays, Christmases, Easter, mothers day, any occasion like these dp has to sabagage and ruin it unless it's about him. He does this so it ends up about him. Yesterday he feigned illness so it would end up about him. What the name for this kinda person, saboteur, narcissist, selfish inconsiderate bastard?

I think you covered all the bases there.

Narcissist. Jealous of any attention you pay to anyone and anything else.

You're with him, why????

Does he indulge in any other controlling behaviours?

I think you've got all the right names there.

I'll add in Tosser.

He's a man child. Incredibly selfish, wants everything his way and sulks if it doesn't happen. I mean literally sulks. Everything has to be about him. Every single occasion he has to ruin by causing arguments, creating conflict even with the dc, sulking, feigning illness. But when it was his works leaving do he was GLOATING, his birthday, fathers day he laps it up. What's gets me most is Christmases though. Manchild. Sorry ranting now.

Why? Because of the dc, because I love him. However, this is the tip of the iceburg, my eyes gave been opened and I think he's a stbx

how can you love a sulking manchild? And how can you think a sulking manchild is a good example for your DC? Please don't tell me he's a good dad, please don't.

But in all seriousness is there an actual word for that kind of person?

OP posts:
NWQM · 01/04/2019 17:15

Why do you want a word? Are you looking for a characteristic trait that would explain it? A diagnosis of sort?

Harebel · 01/04/2019 17:22

Self-absorbed?

Hopefully you can call him your ex before he ruins anything else.

simonisnotme · 01/04/2019 17:35

toss-pot
plenty of words but not the one your after i guess Grin

SrSteveOskowski · 01/04/2019 17:39

My mother-in-law. Oops, sorry, I thought that's who you were describing in your opening sentence!
Seriously OP, your DP and my MIL sound incredibly alike.
