I have been in love with someone who has narcisssistic personality disorder all this time!
Having seen it mentioned on another thread I decided to look it up. I am not in a relationship with this person but they have been a big feature in my life/head for many many years.
His pattern of behaviour with me, and from what I can tell in his relationships with other women, seems to fit so well with this description. Having known (and adored) him for such a long time I knew that some of the 'cockish' behaviour wasn't 'normal' and that there is more behind it.
The vulnerability, bizarre over-inflation/bravado, sexual overplay; the way his expectations of women seem to be almost as if they should be this faultless goddess like creature - it all fits. Sounds charming doesn't he?
Oh I don't know, maybe the term is just another way of describing a complete arse-hole...
No need to reply, just wanted to express it.
