Tell me what I am dealing with

Im new with this and would like some advice to see if I am really dating an N. I met my boyfriend through a friend about 31/2 years ago after a bad divorce. He swept me off my feet, tying up my weekends so I would only be with him, sending me flowers to work. He lived out of state then where I lived, but when I finally decided to move out on my own in an apartment, he moved also to the same state and same apartment complex.We ended up living together He was on workers comp and was home all day. He respected me that I had to work and would go to bed with me and get up every morning and make me breakfast.
Then last year I bought my house, by myself, but we still lived together and a few months after moving in to the house things started to change. I noticed he was taking his phone to the restroom more and he was always on the computer. The nights before, he would make all these jesters that he was going to do all this work around the house the next day. He at this time had stopped getting up with me, and was sleeping 1/2 the day. I would come home to expect us to have quality time together for the evening to find nothing was done he said he was going to do, he had stop making dinner for us. I would ask what he did all day, he said he couldnt get his body woke up. I would find out he had been on the computer all day.
When I question him about why the changes or why he cant remain in the bed at night, his response would be I cant sleep my body hurts. He would tell me I didnt care anything about his health issues. Over the summer we would have my daughter over to enjoy the pool,cause he wanted to grill out, well instead of enjoying the pool he was sneaking off to get on the computer.
It has become to the point now that what ever anyone else in my family says, if he does not like it, I am the one he is blaming cause I did not tell them to stop.
There are more issues, alot to discuss. Please could someone tell me I'm I dealing with an N?

Like someone else here said, I'm not sure who, but we'd need more info to tell you if he's a Narc, Borderline, etc. Quite possibly he's just someone who IS sponging off you. As you stated, he no longer helps you around the house or gets up to make you breakfast, sleeps 1/2 the day & is on the computer for the other 1/2 of the day. So tell me, where's the joy in the relationship for you at this point? You're doing all the work & he is doing NOTHING much for you at all! If I were you I'd boot his sorry *ss out. Best of luck to you & we ARE here for you! ♥

What are you dealing with?

Come on lady! You're dealing with a man who is living off of you! Is he still on worker's comp? Or is he now stoney broke with absolutley no income & living in your house because this is the best option. Most comfortable for him? And, he is no longer grateful--no more taking care of the house or you, no more house husband (which was good for you & made you happy, in the beginning). What else? Well, whatever he's doing on the internet -- he's doing it. Whether it's on line poker, or reading Daily Photo Blogs, or dating sites, or pornography, or even a long-distance internet love affair -- who cares what HE is doing? What he's doing is NOT being there for you any longer. Who cares whether or not he's got a personality disorder, or is a selfish, spoiled & entitled little-brat male. It's not about him. It's about you, your home, your money & your time. Do you want to waste your time on a man who seems to be sponging off of you & is not even grateful for all you do for him?

In all honesty this doesn't

In all honesty this doesn't quite sound like a narc to me. It sounds more like something along the lines of World of Warcraft addiction. Do you know why he's using the computer all the time?

Hi Dorothy, Are you dealing with a narc or man that's depressed having an affair? Does he belittle you, get angry out of the blue, always blame you for his mistakes, I think you better spill more of the beans here! Either way you need to get rid of his lazy ass. No one, Narc or not should put up with someone who is not contributing to a relationship. This man is not! Narc have a pattern, keep reading an learning, ask what you need to we will help you! Good Luck Idealk
