A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

Hi. When we were discussing something, my boyfriend told me he loves to see a women naked i.e. naked with all her feelings and vulnerable. He is very self centered and never much cares about my needs, it's always about him.

He abuses me mentally... he knows my weak points and never fails to use them against me, and he never makes me feel safe in the relationship. It's like I constantly need to impress him.

I am beginning to wonder he has narcissistic behaviour. Is it safe to be with this kind of person?

I don't know about the disorder, but from the little you mention, he sounds like a cruel shit kinda guy to me.

Nope. Even if he doesn't have it, you shouldn't be near him. He doesn't really care about you at all. You should just leave and be done with it. A man who uses weak points against you, cares only for himself and abuses you mentally is not someone you should be around.

More importantly, you need to address why you would stay with such a man in the first place. This man mentally abuses you, yet you stay there for for the torture. That's not a good sign for you. So I would recommend that once you are away from him, you get some help to address why you would stay with such a man. It isn't good that you are accepting this treatment.
