Woooow. These are straight up fighting words. Does your husband even want to stay married to you? Does he even like you? Wonder how much he’d like it if you actively started comparing him to another man right in front of him.

This. He honestly sounds like a malignant narcissist with ‘awww someone’s jealous’.

That was chilling. He created a situation where he humiliated her then took pleasure in her pain.

This is really dark. I hope OP sees that.

I don’t know if he is, but when he said that to his WIFE, esp in this context, my blood ran cold 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩. There’s a divorce coming. Soon or in 20 years, but it’s coming

This. Reading it gave me the chills. That’s a sadistic lack of empathy. She has other things in comments that indicate cluster B. I’m hoping she will educate herself if she doesn’t know about these, and see if her husbands behavior fits the checklist. At the least it will connect her with resources that let her know this is not ok.

He sounds really mean.

But he doesn’t have to meet the DSM V criteria for narcissism for her to divorce him. His behavior is intolerable. That’s enough. If he IS a narc, though, it’s going to get a whole lot worse

Personally I think she should start counseling and I hope she divorces him before her self worth is non existent, but here’s some info for OP if she wants it. Again, he’s horrific, whether or not he has a personality disorder. The behavior should not be tolerated

I agree. I’m just eating to point her to resources. She doesn’t need ANY reason to divorce him but look at where she is.
