There are so many signs of narcissism.
You would be best to research it for more detailed descriptions. You don’t want to mess around with that shit.

My ex husband is a classic (if not, extreme) narcissist. It was very eye-opening when, upon the breakdown of our marriage, he insisted I go with him to a marriage counselor. I was refusing, simply because I wanted nothing to do with him or with trying to ‘save’ the sham that was our marriage.
Eventually I agreed, simply because I felt I had to [i]make sure[/i] before cutting all ties. The one he chose happened to be a full-fledged psychologist, not just a counsellor.
Anyway, I finally went to see her. Alone. (That was my term)
She told me straight up that she WANTED to meet with me, just so she could tell me she had determined him to be an absolute narcissist, possibly with multiple personalities, and to advise me that IF I chose to stick it out and work on it, it was going to take a good 10+ years of HARD WORK (mostly from his side) and even then it might never change him!

So, thankfully I decided to go see her! Who knows..?…if I had wound up choosing to ‘work on’ my marriage I could have been setting myself up for years of disaster

After saying all that I advise you to research extensively to get the answers you seek
