My husband may have narcissistic traits - how do I deal with it?
We are a newly married couple who have disagreements once in a while. Every time I try to express my emotions, with the intention for him to understand me better, he instead uses it to attack me and belittle me as “dramatic”. I have noticed that he has poor listening skills and immediately forms an opinion without hearing me out. Every time we have an argument, he outrightly yells at me, asks for time and then comes back hours later, apologizing and love bombing me. With the above being said, I have noticed the good side of him too. The days we go without any confrontations or arguments, he treats me well and pays me enough attention. Its only on the days I tend to share my disagreements with him, he turns the table around and gaslights me. He has mentioned once that his love language is for me to respect and listen to him 24/7. Does this slightly point out to a narcissistic trait? How do I make him listen to me better? How do I make him have some accountability? How do I draw some boundaries without having him victimise himself? I cannot keep being submissive to him constantly. Help me out. I want to make this relationship work.13
