[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Are you describing my husband?
 :shock: [/quote]

I am sorry there’s more than one of him around. [/quote]

Apparently there's a third, because this describes my husband to a T. Except for the secrecy bit.

I'm terrified to leave not only because of the ugly blowups it will entail, but because I make only 85K a year and don't know how I'll get by in this area on this salary.[/quote]

My DH too.  And also except the secrecy.  [/quote]

I am so sorry. How are you coping?[/quote]

The hardest part for me is how he is with the kids, esp. our teen son.  I'm hanging in there only because our son goes to college in the fall, so he will be escaping for the most part.  I'm also hanging in there b/c he's not as bad with our 14 yo DD (at least yet) and leaving the only home she's ever known, as she's ready to start high school, would be really tough.

But if he starts his sh*t with her down the line, all bets are off.  He has a track record of typical narcissist behavior with his kids (he has two older now-adult sons) when they start that stage of breaking away from Dad and no longer worshipping him.  [/quote]
