Some of the things about your husband seem to be different than other narcissistic people I’ve met (I have my share of those including (as me and my brother suspect) our own father). Some things about your husband don’t point to that direction based on my experience with narcissists, men in particular. Some things do
I may not have detailed everything about him that fits the NDP profile, but he does.

He lacks empathy, he is very self absorbed and self centered, egotistical, entitled, and superior, he thinks everyone is jealous of US, he is arrogant, he explodes in anger at any perception of insult or challenge, he is always right, I am always wrong, he can do no wrong, he needs constant praise, ego boosting, attention and admiration, and he thinks and compares himself to Adonis.

Yes, he is a narcissist. This is how he is. UGH. And I had to marry him!!!
