[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I took the bar exam in CA where the first time pass rate was low compared to other states besides New York. The day after law school graduation we had to be at the bar study center at 8 am for our first prep session. I couldn't socialize or deal with anything besides studying/sleeping/eating/exercising for about two months. I was single at the time, but if I were with a partner that would have impacted heavily on him. For a mom, this would be a huge deal for the family to endure. I can't imagine my partner not feeling personally involved in the experience and its outcome. I think OP's husband is a weirdo.[/quote]

It is kind and caring of a spouse to be proud of your achievement and share it with others. It is not evidence of narcissism that he did not. (- signed another attorney who took and passed California and New York bars).[/quote]

Agreed.  Another lawyer.

My DH is really absent-minded (he is incredibly successful in his career, internationally known as a top person in his field) and he forgot/didn’t inform his parents that our beloved pet died very traumatically.  They showed up last summer expecting to be greeted at the door while he was at work, and I got to break the news to them.  My MIL could not believe it!  She was so upset.  Doesn’t mean he didn’t care…he’s just a super genius spaz who didn’t want to upset them, and put it off until I got to do it.

Doesn’t make him a narcissist.  He definitely isn’t.  Just what occurs to him as conversation fodder on the phone is not at all the same as a normal woman’s.

He also didn’t tell them of a very significant medical diagnosis of mine (think cancer), not because it wasn’t news but because he didn’t feel like it.  I don’t care, he can deal with his own parents.    [/quote]
