Hi.
After living with and being married to the most charismatic, yet troubled man I have ever known it has become painfully aware to me through family therapy for my step daughter's attachment disorder that my husband is a narcissist. Not only that, but I am co-dependent (nothing new to me). We have two little boys under the age of three and a daughter to be born in August. My husband is generally well functioning accept with jobs.....starts off strong, but gets very discontent with them and everyone there, and he can't seem to be satisfied with me as his only source of sex. The sex thing isn't as disturbing to me as his lying about it.
Our therapist says that she unfortunately doesn't see a lot of hope that he will ever be able to give me the emotional connection I desire. He is a doting father who for the most part is responsible. I know I need to let go of my codependency ways so that I can take better care of myself and my children, but it hurts so much. I think I am afraid that I won't be able to make it alone. There is also that fear that someone else will "reach" him and that i will be out of his circle by then. I feel so pathetic, but I don't know what to do.
