Is this the right way to handle things?
My husband is a narcissist. In a nutshell, he was a magical prince charming, until, literally, the day after our wedding. Then came the underhanded comments, the belittling, the name calling and the realization that he hates me and all women, even though he wouldn't ever admit it.
He is always generall angry, always the victim and such a negative, unhappy person. He has no friends and we have no mutual friends because he drives people away. He has sucked the enjoyment of life out of me.
I am financially dependent on him, right now, but seriously cannot envision being married to him for the rest of my life. I do not hate him. I just wish he'd go away.
Currently, (for the past 2 years) I no longer tell him that I love him and we sleep in separate rooms. I have the feeling that he now feels that I could walk out at any moment. This has seemed to calm him down and greatly lessened his constant urge to attack. I feel like if I show ANY vulnerability or weakness, I am setting myself up for another attack.
Since I am stuck, does anyone have any thoughts about how I am handling the situation? Is this the right thing to do? I would love for him to just decide to leave or divorce me, but I don't know how to get him to do it on his own. I wish I could just buy him another wife.
