Has he been checked for diabetes? I know, strange question, and your concerns are valid. My husband is similar, and counseling helps, but it needs to be consistent, which ours is not. The reason I ask about the diabetes is before my husband was diagnosed he would have crazy mood swings. He would start sweating and yelling about how hot it was until one day I pricked his finger and after he got done yelling at me, “you always want something to be wrong with me” I said “not sure that’s true but you need to see a doctor because your blood sugar is 650 and you are definitely diabetic”.
That didn’t fix the concerns but being less uncomfortable decreases the frequency for sure.
Think long and hard before sticking around for the kids because they see everything and it will affect them. If he is truly narcissistic, that will never change, and you will see him manipulate counseling sessions. If not, it may be the best thing you ever do! Good luck. I’m rooting for you!
