[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So sorry Op. I suffer the same chronic abuse and have young children.

Where is the line between aspergers and narcissism? The put downs and his anger/yelling and nasty looks never stop. There’s no way he is or also a bully at work. [/quote]

Well my husband has become a bully at work, too, I think.  my son told me a story that my husband told him about bossing people around (he is the boss, but it wasn't a very nice story)

It's like he has to assert his dominance to feel good about himself.

My son has a friend who is a true genius (IQ 165).  Im sorry, but it doesn't hurt my ego to know that other people are smarter than I am.  We've spent time talking about the amazing things this kid can do, the beautiful music he creates, etc.   But my husband can't stand him, has an "attitude" about him,  and one time he was over here and tried helping with something by making a suggestion about moving tables (we were setting up for something ) and my husband was rude and obnoxious and just ridiculous in how he responded to this kid's suggestion.   It was so embarrassing for our son, for me, and the genius friend.    I had to go apologize and make something up, but inside I was seething and humiliated.  This type of thing has happened in different scenarios for years...just like total lack of desire to adhere to social propriety or lack of concern for how he makes someone else feel as long as he is saying/doing what makes him feel good.

But he can absolutely put on a good face when he wants to.   Just keep the time short or he will let the mask slip.

Not all narcissists assert their dominance outside of the home.  Some are bullies inside of the home, and keep their "mask" on - very well, I might add, outside the home. Combine that with HFA - good times! [/quote]
