After 10 years with DP I feel I need to leave. We have no kids together. He never supports me emotionally through anything and after a recent cancer scare I feel I can't do this anymore. I have told him how I feel and what I need but he doesn't even reply. He just thinks I am having a go at him. I can scream and cry in front of him and he just walks away. I feel bad about leaving as he isn't a bad guy, but I need more.

@GlassOfProsecco, is there a factory churning these guys out?? Covert narcissists are very tricky to spot.

OP, a few books to read to help you. " In sheeps clothing" & "the Verbally abusive relationship". Passive aggressive men are often chronic underachievers.

It helps to understand that they are unmoved by your emotions or issues because their "love" is superficial. It isn't you. It would be the same with any other woman.
