Mannib, I wonder if your partner has any form of autism [ASD] my daughter's partner is exactly the same and just cannot help his behaviour.He always promises to try [sometimes does and sometimes can't,]he's lovely at heart, but wants all her attention and everything else that you say, including the brooding rages.No easy answer, so glib stuff just wont work. You either love him and make him see the problem or leave him, hard choices I'm afraid.My daughter would leave [they have a child] if she had enough money.Even though she loves him she can't take it forever, and it won't change, so tiring.Not his fault of course, but what a life!He is charming, does a full time job and people like him, not easy to spot!
