[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here: I think DH is abusive/mean at times but our couples counselor in an individual session told me he had different parts of him and two distinct personalities - she said multiple personalities - that he is self absorbed and with narcissistic tendancies - she said there is hope to integrate the personalities etc[/quote]

So, a few things - I'm sorry you're dealing with an abusive, narcissistic parter. His behavior is not your fault and you do not deserve it. Regardless of the reasons behind his behavior, he is not acting in a way that is safe, healthy or respectful for you. The longer you stay in this relationship, the more likely it is that you will be hurt or killed.

PLEASE seek out individual counseling for yourself with someone who specializes in domestic violence. If you're in Maryland, the House of Ruth is a great resource as is the Family Justice Center in MoCo. They offer free and sliding scale counseling services.

Couples counseling is NOT recommended in cases of abuse (physical or emotional). If your relationship hasn't escalated to physical abuse yet, it will. Your couples counselor should be aware that couples counseling isn't indicated in these situations.

Your couples counselor is also not the one who should be making a diagnosis about your husband unless she is a specialist in trauma and dissociative identity disrorder, and it doesn't sound like she is.

At this point, don't worry about your husband, worry about yourself and your own safety. This is not a healthy or safe relationship, and you need to protect yourself before it's too late.[/quote]
