[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been married 12 years to a man who is genuinely a good, ethical man who is *capable* of empathy.

That said, he also has what we’ll call narcissistic tendencies (not full blown - there are moments of clarity), and he has been a self centered ass during many periods in our marriage where I really needed support. Like when I got laid off right after maternity leave and had to go on months of grueling and discouraging interviews while taking care of 2 young children.

Or like when he did absolutely nothing for my 40th birthday 2 years after I coordinated a great party for his birthday.

After some very serious fights and discussions he is claiming to recognize the self centered neglect and impact it has had on me.

Can a person ever truly change? Or should I prepare for more of the same?

Did he really want that 40th birthday party? Did you ask him for more support when you were laid off? Most men don't care about birthdays. And he must of thought you enjoyed being a part time SAHM. You need to tell him want you need. [/quote]
