Like a spoiled child

[11JB68]

I really feel like I'm married to a spoiled brat.
And typical of him with his projection and hypocrisy this is something he's never tolerated in children.
He wants everything his way all the time, and for someone (me) to take care of it all.
Recent heart attack has made this worse.

UGH. I'm so sorry!!! I can only imagine!!!
I often think to myself what if hs medical "problems" are real (I mean, I'd never know, because he's always DYING and SO BAD and etc) and I think it would be much like that.
Huge hugs!!

Thanks Spark.
I really don't know if I'm going to survive this with him.
To use a phrase I see here sometimes, I feel like he's 'weaponizing' this health scare. Using it as one more tool to control me.
"Just do it. Don't argue with me"...(or you might make me have another heart attack??)...

Look at the threads about elderly relatives, parents, and in-laws, 11JB68.  People with NPDs weaponize illness all the time.  I hope you can find the courage to protect yourself.
