Welcome to the Well Book Club, a place where readers and authors can discuss books about family, food, fitness and personal health.
Join us for a discussion with Dr. McBride about identifying if your partner is a narcissist, when it is time to get out of a narcissistic relationship, and healing from the aftermath.
My husband has many narcissistic traits but I'm not sure he's a full-blown narcissist. His mother is extremely narcissistic and I think he just doesn't know any other way to be. I'm considering divorce because his angry outbursts that come without warning have recently crossed over the line into physically threatening behavior. But I'm afraid to leave him because I fear it will be like putting gasoline on the fire. There were warning signs all along but I didn't heed them. He only talks about himself, isn't interested in hearing about other people.
He is constantly complaining about petty things like people cutting him off in traffic. It's always something about how awful and entitled and nasty other people are and, it goes unsaid, how great he is by comparison.
We have a young son who loves his dad because he takes him out to do fun stuff, feeds him junk food, never disciplines him. Everything is about him! We go to car shows, beach, travel when and what he wants to do. Buy cars mustangs, trucks, motorcycles whatever he wants.. Kids play sports it's too much money and to time consuming.
