Being quizzed by boyfriend

What do you think of a man who constantly quizzes his girlfriend on the year/ band name of a song when listening to music, also does this in front of others to the extent it makes her feel stupid? Although she likes music, she wouldn't have the same depth of knowledge as him. He's a bit of a know it all also with regard to gardening, cooking etc, and likes to slow off. Could this be described as arrogance?

I've been talking the breakup over with a therapist because I've found getting over the relationship difficult. She also suggested narcissism. I'm just kicking myself I let it go on so long. One good thing is I now know red flags to look out for in the future.

my ex used to do this. One of my favourite bands is slipknot and i remember he quizzed me on them, asking me to name all the members, albums and stuff, like i had to "prove" myself as an alternative person and not a "Poser". There's a reason he's an ex. He gave me so many complexes where i now have to explain myself for literally everything to prove to people i'm not fake and I actually like the things i say i like.

that man would be a dick in my eyes. i hate when they do this.
