...See more The Secret Façade of the Vulnerable Narcissist By Christine Hammond, MS, LMHC http://pro.psychcentral.com/exhausted-woman/2016/11/the-secret-facade-of-the-vulnerable-narcissist/# "The narcissistic qualities of a vulnerable narcissist (VN) are masked by helplessness, emotionality, and reticent behavior. They are not dissimilar to covert or introverted narcissists which fly far under the grandiose radar of a typical narcissist..."
Angry husband

...See more So I started on here trying to figure out what is going on in my marriage.. At first thinking my husband might be narcisistic or maybe even sociopathic (ASPD).. And then thinking he might be emotionally abusive.. leading me to believe that my overly passive, codependant nature is enabling him to be this way.. But after even more racking my brain, I am now at the point of thinking that he is not abusive, but just has unhealthy anger issues (along with other issues stemming from his messed up family /childhood trauma). Overall we have an awesome relationship. But on rare occasions, he can reach his limit and go off into an angry rage (with name-calling, belittling, door slaming, etc.). From what I know of him and the love I've seen in him, I have to believe that he is genuinely a good person who sometimes does bad things. I would love to figure what to do in those instances, and ultimately how I can approach him about this issue to help him overcome.

...See more #TW: emotional domestic abuse 'Understand the gray area between love and control before a bad relationship escalates.' - One Love Foundation https://youtu.be/h_r72v3LA44 Would this be considered abuse? Or is this just a warning sign for potential future abuse? How often would these episodes occur for it to be considered abusive? What if it only happens every few months.. or even every few years? What if he treats you really great the rest of the time? What if it never escalates beyond this.. even after many years together? Would it still be considered abuse.. or maybe just occasional dysfunction?
Manipulative Marriage?

...See more I am brand new to this site and I'm still not sure how everything works.. lol. So not really sure what I'm looking for or expecting here. I'm interested in talking with someone who has experience with manipulative relationships. I like to think I am emotionally sound and a rational thinker most of the time.. but I am struggling with some confusion concerning my marriage. (Married 11 years). I would want a verified listener. I prefer someone who has (or is completing) a degree in psychology or equivalent working experience. I prefer to communicate through messaging instead of chat (if that's possible, or does that require an account upgrade? Idk..) I do not need someone who will respond right away. Please take your time in getting back with me. I am not distressed or in any danger. I don't want someone who will just automatically take my side or try to make me feel good. I wont really be venting, but rather trying to honestly understand. Thanks!
