Entitled dh

Will keep this short: we've had issues over dsc being spoiled by dh and all extended family on dh and ex side. This had made them rude and entitled. Although he agreed to help mend his ways and encourages more positive behaviour on dsc part, with success I may add, the problem now seems genetic! He is becoming quite selfish in many small ways, but as he contributes fairly to household chores, it is difficult to pull him up on these things. The examples sound too petty to mention but leave me feeling he's more important than me, his stuff is more valuable than mine, wants praise for doing his chores... Begrudges me same praise for my effort or any extra chore my ds does. Again really same old story: he feels he and his kids are just more entitled or somehow more superior? It's quite offensive really. He earns more than me but has less spending money as most goes to cm. is this his way of telling me my ds and I are inferior? Ok, longer text than planned...

Ok, checked link to toads and similar sources. Yep, that's him. Always thought there was something wrong with me for not going gaga over his endless declarations of love that just didn't t feel real. He did chase me, in fact seems he chased all the women in his life, the ones he told me about. I asked him why he only wanted relationships with women he stole from other men, he just shrugged and made a joke. I myself was in a brief relationship (4 months) when we met, but it was already on way out as bf never told his friends or family about me, and when I broke up he stalked me for a year. My first dh was more obviously a narcissist, very handsome, vain, it lasted 5 years. His present dw, a lovely person and great sm to my ds, just suffered from burnout. I jokingly asked if it was dh and she insists it's the job...

The diagnosis is instantaneous but there's no treatment which can bring about a cure as your h won't change in this lifetime.

As for those 'endless declarations of love', they 'didn't feel real' because they weren't real. This man can only love himself and he'll use any words to get himself what he wants and win the approbation of others.
