Melissa, I shared that just to illustrate things change down the road, we feel one way today and next week we may feel differently. Emotions change all the time. We all say stupid things, often to preclude conversation on a painful subject.
I'm not sure where narcissism fits in.
I appreciate that . . . and you are right. The narcissism comes in when a person is egocentric/arrogant enough to think that he truly is entitled to a life without any expectations or obligations.

No one knows what your H will do, even him. His statements, while painful to hear, aren't really new information so let that help you get past this.
You're right. The only new(ish) information, and this is what is bothering me, is that he wants to move forward with custody/financial arrangements, which I assume means move forward with D. Before that, I was enjoying the limbo on the theory that as long as we don't take those steps, there would be more time for him to figure things out.
