UPDATE!! “It’s a one way street with BF. Should I end things?”

Yes he’s suffering from NPD. I was diagnosed with it and I see a therapist now And everything he’s doing is textbook examples. The needs you have don’t cross our minds. We have to really think about things and take a step back. Not all narcissists seek help and some never get better. From the sounds of it he’s totally unconscious to it - this means he doesn’t view you as an actual person more so as an object in his life - hence why he didn’t care about the whole ordeal after it happened despite how significant it is and had the nerve to ask for sexual like nothing happened. The red flag mainly is the victimizing when it comes to responsibility. Watch out for gas lighting, if there’s anything you’ve felt that you’ve been forced to believe because it didn’t happen or you’re struggling to remember then you’ve been gas lit. If we don’t know how to control it we do it a lot. Also watch out for the rage that might come when you break up. You’ve dodged a bullet. We aren’t bad people intentionally, we just never got the social hardware to function properly due to shitty upbringings. I hope he hasn’t revealed the rage yet. That’s the worst.
