Hi and welcome!

It is not your job to "fix him". If he needs counselling, that will need to be HIS choice. You can suggest it to him, but you can't force him to go.

I cannot walk away and leave him. I'm not going leave him like everyone in his past

To stay in a relationship like this takes a LOT of emotional strength - because you'll need to "make up for" what he cannot offer. This is why others have walked away - because a relationship takes 2 people. He is incapable of having a normal relationship.

Hi Sheren,



I'm sorry to hear that. I can relate with how frustrating and distressing that feels when your SO change what they say and blame you for everything.

We're not there yet. Mental illness carries stigma, it's difficult for people that s that have a mental disorder, let to share that with others or to come to terms with it. It's not all hopeless though, people are more aware of depression and anxiety and it carries less of a stigma than NPD.

Men may be irritable when they are depressed, NPD can be co-morbid with another or several mental illness like a mood disorder, such as depression and anxiety. Depression and anxiety seem to be more socially accepted and that can be easier for people to share their mental disorder with someone else. A personality disorder is probably a tough pill to swallow.   With that being said, you could suggest that he goes in and talk to someone about depression to get his proverbial foot in the door.

So Sheren, has he been diagnosed with depression or does he show signs of depression?
