antisocial personality disorder

I am gradually waking up and out of my denial. Much to my horror, I recognize the symptoms of antisocial personality disorder in my partner. We have been together 6 months and although he is not verbally or physically abusive, I have allowed him to get away with some incredible things, primarily finainces (mine!) It makes me ill to speculate how I am possibly being manipulated and how good he is at it. Anyone???Help.

jedesiderata,

Denial is a powerful thing. Be very careful when it comes to your finances. Whats your is yours until you are sure you can trust this person has a clean record for themself. I was married and found out the hard way... only after one and a half years of marriage did my ex whip out a tax bill he owed from BEFORE our marriage of over $20 000. He went bankrupt and I lost my house!!!

That was denial !!!


Good luck. -SL

Those behaviors alone do not constitute Antisocial Personality Disorder (he may have this disorder, but the behaviors you describe, by themselves, aren't sufficient to warrant that diagnosis).

He may be a con-artist, a master manipulator.

Whatever the case, I'm glad you are wise to him now and looking after you own best-interests. Best of luck to you.

I'd get out of the relationship...
