You need your rest and extreme self-care. Good to hear that you thought about the financial/ legal implications of buying a house now. I won't belabour the point then.
Wrt to the narcissist diagnosis of your H. A few qns: 1. How qualified is the IC? A psychologist? 2. Is it the same Gottman MC who tried to get you to give up? 3. Did your H display any of these traits while you were dating or before BD?
I am asking all these questions because people who engage in affairs will exhibit narcissistic traits to differing extents.
I am not a psychologist but I will be more inclined to believe the results if the assessment was done prior BD or M.
You have a very strong character. It shows even when online. I just doubt that a real narcissist will pick a strong character like you who doesn't take any bs.
But this is just my interpretation.
File this observation away. If you don't feel like making a decision yet, you dont have to
You can call me Dory/ Grl.

It's no use to go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.
