That's a pretty good description.

A lot of cluster B stuff is very similar but it's more about what they do.

Narcissism is self hate turned inwards.

Is it your opinion, or does he have a diagnosis of Narcissist Personality Disorder (NPD)?

If you have had a close relationship with a person with NPD, for folks to just say get over it and move on is nieve. The damage it can do to those around them can be scarring. A prolonged expoure to the influence of a manipulative often abusive personality can't be washed away with a dismissive attitude...

If this has really been the case then you need better advice and support than you will be capable of getting here.

But then the accusation of Narcissist is often thrown around too easily.

He is diagnosed

Count yourself as lucky. 

You must have gone through quite a bit of abuse while you were together. 

Move on, and try to avoid that type of person the next time around.
