Narc? Red flags? Or me over reacting?

hi wise MNersI think I need help being told the guy I'm seeing is a narc? Or crazy.

I ended things last night. He seemed angry and I was scared. It wasn't lashing out, just a quiet anger. There were a couple of follow up messages.

After a month, I think there's been

attempted love bombing - lots of talk about the future
Very "romantic" in a cliche way
Claims to have ADHD as an explanation for apparently being rubbish at housework
Has made comments on women and how they dress
Was previously in an open relationship but explanations of things don't add up there
Has dropped his ex's name in at odd times

I feel as if he's taken over my life within a month. He finds any excuse to message.

Also Quite snobby - I think he looks down on some people

I don't expect someone to have the same opinions as me and I had an ex who used to be a bit "laptop class". Some of it is just spouting shit they haven't thought about, I know.

I must admit, I woke up and reached for the phone to say sorry for ending it.

Then I thought I'd post here instead. I think he's a fragile narcissist? I think he would be hard to get rid of. This is just a vibe I'm getting now I've seen through the love bombing.

I'm right aren't I? There is nothing good about that list?

I worked with his company, that's how we met. and I heard people had to pussyfoot around him, they say everything "upsets" him.

I thought he'd be impossible to get rid of if it went on longer. Just a gut feeling.

Yellow "But if we instead honour how it made us feel, there's no room for ambiguity or uncertainty, and we don't need to waste time dwelling on whether it's a red flag or not."

yes. Something is "off".
