@RickiTarr Glad to hear that they are no longer together. From what you wrote he was not just a narcissist but an abuser. Abusive partners break down their partners emotionally and mentally in order to control them. Sometimes it can end in rape or even murder.
If you want to depress yourself look for youtube videos by Lundy Bancroft a psychiatrist who works with abusive men trying to understand and help them.

Although both #men & #women are affected by narcissism, women are much more prone to this life-damaging abuse(abused by both men and other women).
These are just a few words from some women who went through it and survived, some dont.

"I am very old now but I have only just discovered about covert narcissists, and realise these are the people I have had in my life all the time, from childhood. I am now on my own but others think it is because I am the awful one because I do not have anything to do with these people anymore including my own children, who turned out like their dad, a narcissist. Life feels very lonely."

"My marriage was shaky from day one, but when I said to the narcissist that we could go into counselling to try and sort things out, he said, 'Why should I do that when it isn't my fault, it's yours.' You can't discuss anything with these individuals; In the end, after 40 years of marriage, I was the one that said 'Goodbye' to our fractured relationship."

"My son was recently in an accident where he was seriously hurt but will recover just fine. My sister asked me if I cried when I found out because she cried her eyes out. Like it was a weird, creepy competition on who was more hurt. Who the hell competes over something like that? The weirdness never ends
Very low contact. I look back at what I used to put up with and can't believe I'm sane."

Literally, you will go "crazy " trying to figure them out. Life is too short...RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN.
