I think my husband may be an abusive narcissist.

I am seeing a LOT of symptoms and signs:
  1. He explodes whenever he is questioned or whenever I have confronted him
  2. He needs constant attention from me and praise
  3. He is very self centered: it's always about HIM, what HE wants and what HE needs
  4. He is very arrogant and full of himself: he has an inflated EGO and an inflated sense of self importance
  5. He is delusional: he thinks his father is a "great" man despite being abusive, sexist and racist
  6. He thinks HE's the most wonderful and loving person, despite the abuse that I've confronted him with
  7. He is quick to screw friends over and without remorse: I've witnessed him treating others in an exploitative manner
  8. He doesn't show much empathy when I am going through turmoil and upset
  9. He is a liar yet demands that I implicitly trust him despite several occasions of dishonesty - he defends his so-called high level of "integrity" by yelling at me, acting as though he has always been honest with me when I keep catching him in lies, deceit and contradictions
  10. And now he is a thief
