First off, thank you all for your concern and comments.

Yes, we have discussed narcissism with the T and he does not agree my H has it. There are always overlying tendencies in a lot of us that enable us to "label" even ourselves.

SB - no, my H doesn't read alot and throw it back at people, he used to read a lot, of course, when he was going to university (who doesn't) but if he does read, it is usually to do with history and/or geography.

He definitely does NOT need to keep me near. If anything, he pushes me away more often than not. He is a VERY secure and independent man and would walk out before he was pushed into anything that was uncomfortable emotionally.

For the most part, from hearing stories from his friends and/or family, what he is telling me about his childhood is completely correct. I am sure there are things he has distorted (but I am sure I have distorted a few things myself - does that make me a narcissist?)

I would never rule out narcissism totally, but I am more likely to believe what the T has told us - that it relates primarily to attachment theory. However, IF he goes to the new guy, and IF he tells me anything about it, I will be sure to let you know if anything pertaining to narcissism comes up

It should be an interesting road in the next few months
