Red flags?! Narcissist

Looking for some advice...

Last week I was unwell (high temp, fatigue, cough...etc) Because of my symptoms I had to get a test for Covid. The results came back late on Saturday night and was positive. As soon as I got the results I text my partner to let him know as we had obviously been in close contact and he had started to feel unwell a couple of days prior, albeit his symptoms were very mild. Because he did have symptoms though, I offered him to come and stay over at mine but he refused.

When I told him I had tested positive, his reaction was a bit over the top to say the least. He sent several texts back saying “I’m speechless” “I don’t fucking believe this” “I’m not going to sleep tonight, fuck knows what I will wake up to” when I asked him what he meant by that I got a mouthful of cheek back “are you for fucking real, I have asthma, I don’t know what’s going on with my lungs just now, I could choke to death during the night” by this time it was almost midnight so I tried to reassure him that he would probably be fine as his symptoms were mild. Sunday I didn’t hear from him at all so I text around dinner time asking if he was ok. He replied at half 11 at night “I’m fine”

So yesterday I asked him what his attitude was all about and he basically told me that I should be feeling guilty for not offering him to come along and stay at time when I found out I had tested positive as having the virus could be fatal for him!! I told him I had already offered him and he had declined and he replied with “yea, I declined before I knew you had tested positive for that fucking virus, you should have offered again!” He also said that he would expect someone who claims to love him to show some compassion but I just acted like I didn’t care about him.

Not once did he actually ask if I was ok when I told him I had it, he just made it all about him and it’s seriously made me doubt everything and I’m on the verge of ending the relationship as I think I may be dealing with a narc.

Thoughts?

Thank you clarifying.
He’s either irrational or very stupid to my mind. So I agree with dumping him.

He is showing you no empathy or compassion and projecting, gaslighting and using psychobabble on you, very narcy behaviour alright, Too much drama, i dont like the sound of it.
