[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dump him. Seriously. I dated a guy like this. Save yourself the drama.  He’s a narcissist.  He likely trashes his ex girlfriends which is another red flag.  Run.  You deserve better.  I bet if you thought about it, you’d find the other red flags you’ve been dismissing. Don’t question or doubt yourself on this one. You posted for a reason. Get out.[/quote]

I honestly cant think of many other red flags.  He's usually very sweet and attentive.  The only possible red flag is that he's pushed for commitment very early on- wanted to be exclusive/monogramous very soon after meeting, and has wanted to get engaged for a while now (i think we're too young).  He seemed like he just "knew" very early, before i did.  Only other red flag I can think of is he is very bad at expressing emotions and seems to express himself better through sex, if that makes sense. I think he has a very hard time verbalizing when he gets upset and tends to shut down.

So I do wonder if it's my fault for not assuring him better.  I could tell it was bothering him but I didnt expect him to do something like this. Im not sure if it counts as cheating or not...[/quote]

What the actual?? No. Dump him. He's love bombing you, trying to control you with jealousy and shuts down when trying to express his emotions. Complete Immaturity. Narcissistic traits.

But I honestly dont think he's a narcissist- and I have experience with them. Hes actually incredibly sweet, understanding, and supportive most of the time.  During the discussion about the coworkers, in the heat of the moment I threw out that "maybe we should take a break", although I immediately backtracked.  I honestly wonder if that did it.

The thing that really bothers me about him is he's extremely sensitive with language.  He never had a girlfriend before me, and sometimes it feels like he hangs on my every word. I once made a critical comment about his mom and he was extremely upset.  It seems like he takes everything I say super seriously and I feel like he isnt good at bringing things up and handling them like a grownup.  But this is his only flaw. He's been the most encouraging and affirming partner I've ever had other than this flaw.  I just wish he wasnt so sensitive and makes a mountain out of a mole hill whenever he thinks I'm "pulling away" [/quote]
