I'm really curious because my partner very recently labeled me a narcissist which makes me think he subconsciously wonders if he is. I'm only saying this because a couple years ago, when I was talking with him about my mother, he asked me if I thought 'he' was.. I was surprised by his question.
That's a good question -- I may ask this of my new therapist today.

Your partner was clearly projecting, which I know you know already. He probably does wonder if he is a narcissist.
