1) NO ONE can diagnose "by proxy". In short, this means that you can list symptomology for pages and pages and pages... and NO ONE (whether online or IRL) can give you that answer about another person without personally interviewing said individual.

2) Why do you want a label? If you can list off the top of your head 47 and 1/2 reasons that your spouse, boyfriend, uncle, cousin, or roommate is a jerk- then who CARES if there is a psychiatric designator which translates roughly as "pathological jerk"? The only thing you need to be investigating are ways of either a) dealing with this behavior, or b) terminating said relationship.

In short- Posts of the nature referred to are not generally well received. Try something along the lines of "My '_____' is a jerk... any ideas?" The two bullet points I delivered at the beginning of this post are likely the only intelligible responses you will receive otherwise....

THANK YOU. Carry on.
