Husband has a narcissistic and selfish personality and has been know to be called a “hot head” and very argumentative. Just hoping he will change from that.

Some days are harder than others for sure. It's like putting your finger in a light socket: every thing you do is wrong! I'm trying so hard to stay calm no matter what. I know Hubs is frustrated too… read more
