I never thought I’d be in a relationship with someone I don’t like. Yes I love him as a person. I don’t like lots of the things he does though. I realize I’m in a relationship with the most narcissistic man I’ve ever met. Or at least he seems that way often enough. Truthfully he’s been the underdog his whole life and has an inferiority complex and will compete with any and everyone to feel good about himself, to feel like a winner. He can’t handle constructive criticism and if he feels attacked he really will loose his marble and feel like the scum of the earth. Like he once got mad at me on vacation with family because he used a word in a way I didn’t understand so I looked it up on my phone. Then I was like Ohhh that word mean this not that, which is why I was confused. Then I showed him the screen on my phone and he got so upset that I was “embarrassing him in front of all these people” Y’all literally no one was listening to us but because he thinks he is the center of the universe and who wouldn’t wanna listen to his business. We were standing in a crowded maze line in a gift shop to get tickets for an attraction. 🙄😒. I’m fed up with his attitude. He will say things IN HIS HEAD and then speak vaguely of them out loud to me and then get flustered when I don’t understand. He wasn’t always like this when were young (high school early college) he was respectful, wise, helpful, happy. Now he is mostly miserable, pessimistic, in considerate and far less respectful. I feel bamboozled because his true self didn’t show early on and I opened up fully. Had I know this is what his true self was I would have probably dodged this bullet and saves myself some yearssss. I honestly think we just need a break to see who we are without each other before moving beyond this engagement. But I don’t know how to go about doing that at the moment seeing as how BOTH our incomes keep us afloat, we both share a car, and we live together. I am 25, he is 26.
