I know it probably doesn't seem like there's a lot of good news when you're coping with a person who has these issues but the upside is that you found this site.
Therapy and books helped a lot, but this site has been such a life saving part of my journey to living a better life. There's so much collective wisdom here. Sometimes I didn't even know to ask the question but people here understand patterns that tend to go with personality disorders and offered advice that changed the course of my life.
Are the recent difficult events temporary?
How do you respond when he accuses you of not loving him?
You already took the first step, which is to share with people here who understand.
My ex became quite controlling and paranoid toward the end of our marriage. I remember someone asking me if I felt safe after I began looking for help. The question didn't make sense because I was so numb with dread and even then I didn't quite know what to call it.
Glad you found us
