Someone completely void of narcissism would never even look in a mirror. I don't think it was off topic, and I've apologised twice for hitting a nerve, and tried to clear up the misunderstanding. My point, again, is that it matters less whether your husband has a PD, that you aren't going to get a diagnosis for. What matters is that you have evidence that you are suffering narcissistic abuse, and it is important that you get your strength up to make yourself safe. I don't think anyone's intention is to put pressure on, or make you feel bad. I really only have sympathy for your situation, and concern that you get out of it safely. This focus on diagnosing your husband isn't going to help you do that, unfortunately, and I know that from experience.
@KBMK, oh, hey listen. I was only just responding to another poster's comments. You've apologized, twice even, and it's OK.

I was just explaining to that poster where I was coming from on it, without intending to make it worse or bigger of an issue than it really is/was.

I get where you're coming, and I appreciate your concerns.

I do want to get to the bottom of it about my husband, and perhaps with a therapist is the best place to do that. I need to know if I've yet again, attracted another narcissist. It's important for my therapy and for my healing and recovery.
It's also important to know for how I deal with him going forward.
