[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Where to even begin? I fell like I have to constantly walk on eggshells with him. Never quite know what mood he will be in. Blows up at any perceived slight. Very self-centered, self-aggrandizing but really hiding a very fragile ego (as I’ve learned). Useless with kids though he had to convince me to have them! Secretive. Doesn’t believe he is accountable to anyone. [/quote]
and...most likely he is having or had an affair.  Goes with the territory of what you have described.[/quote]

You are right! I caught one confirmed affair and evidence of another inappropriate relationship. I’ve been too scared to leave because it will be ugly. But then again, living like this is also horrible.

I don’t have a great support system because I am too private to discuss with friends and family. [/quote]

So what therapy did he do after he was caught?

Did he want to change?  He sounds like “not”.  If there wasn’t serious individual therapy for him, severe remorse and a deep profound/want to change his way of coping/thinking and to align his values with actions/live authentically...he just might be a narcissist.

My spouse was a completely different person and threw himself into therapy after revealing the affair.  So much happier, better with the kids, no flying off the handle or selfishness...our needs are always first now.  If everything remained like it was and he was a prick—it would be over.

Best of luck. [/quote]
