Sometimes my NPD partner rages, belittles, puts me down and is emotionally abusive - not at the beginning though he was charming, loving and attentive. Because of his behaviour which is like the 'cycle of abuse' I am become to distrust him and believe he may be cheating etc. He tells me I am paranoid! I do not check up on him, go through his things, follow him, text or phone him all day - all I do is sometimes ask questions because at times he thinks so little of me and is so abusive - do you think I am paranoid?
