Well, idk about expert opinion, as this place is of the peer support variety, but I will say this...


He sounds immature, selfish and at the very least emotionally abusive.


I would advise not to excuse his behavior with a diagnosis, expert or otherwise.


He's acting like an asshat, end of story.


People don't always attend therapy because there's something wrong with them in the head. Sometimes they need a sounding board, sometimes they need help coping with the difficulties of life (like being legally blind) and sometimes they just need someone to vent to.


My expert advice (in men)...

Run!


You deserve SO better.

It's been ONLY 5 months and most of the time - with new relationships..everyone is on their best behavior. IMO it will not get better.. and love does not conquer all. You made a list with great reasons to let him go.

He may be 40 in years but he's about 12 emotionally, in his ability to have relationships.

Honestly it doesn't take a Dx to know this guy is not the kind of person to have a rational relationship with even as a friend.

I had a list a lot shorter than that for reasons why I shouldn't have married my H...but stupidly got talked into doing it & rationalized it myself........was miserable for 33 years until I could finally get out.

Be wiser with the people you get involved with especially intimately....don't to there until you really KNOW the person because it's not a way to get to know them...it just creates a bond that wouldn't otherwise be there because of the oxitocin that is released during sex.......then it just makes you THINK there is something between you & it's a false LOVE reading.

I agree with Trippin:
