Did he know he was a narcissist?

I know everyone including psychiatrists would say a narcissist is never aware of their disorder. But my ex-narc seemed very aware of his problems. Things he would often say to me was:

''We don't know each other so well and I really think you should get to know me better, you don't really know me even if you think you do''

''I have a dark side, a very ugly side. My attitude can get really bad sometimes and I really have to change''

''I've never hit a woman before but if you ever provoke me or hit me then I don't know what Im going to do to you, Im warning you''

''Are you sure you can put up with me? I'm very needy''

''I have a feeling you're going to leave me and give up on me''

''I'm so fed up with being in situations where girlfriend's families ask the girl to leave me because their families think I'm no good for them''

''If your family asked you to leave me because they thought I was no good for you, would you listen to them?''

Do you think he was aware that he was abusive/aggressive or that he knew he was a narcissist? I know he is never going to change but I wonder if he understood the depth of his problems.
