TW: He has broken 2 wardrobes, a mirror, a lamp, a chest of drawers, 2 bed frames, 2 kitchen cupboard doors, a large draw (the front of the draw where you pull it to open it) and that's just in this property. He rips up cards from me and puts them in the bin, absolutely everything is my fault and I mean everything, he looks at other women and it's my fault for noticing, I call him out on his behaviour and it's fault, all he ever says is i am trying to argue or cause an issue, he tells me I'm answering back and I always have an answer, doesn't like me going out anywhere without him but he can go where he wants when he wants.
This weekend he has shouted at me in the street to hurry up , yesterday a woman looked at me and asked if I was okay then he had a go at me for that saying thanks to me people will now think he is abusive. Today a man started walking towards me when my partner was screaming at me but I said it was okay but he took the number plate so now I'm on edge not knowing what he is going to do. We live in a small village area so it's likely I will bump into these people again.
This is abuse right? Or not?
If this is abuse then is this because he is a narcissist or is this separate to that?

He’s definitely sounds abusive to me. Narcissistic doesn’t always equal abusive, so I would consider it a separate “trait”

Girl throw him in the trash and get a real man

He throws man sized tantrums which is pretty terrifying and narcissistic. It doesn't make him a narcissist, but this behaviour probably comes from trauma and only therapy can help him work through it. If he takes ownership by becoming aware of it first.
The difference between a narcissist and being narcissistic is a diagnosis of many combined attributes. Everybody has at least some narcissistic traits

Breaking things is considered physical abuse. Yelling, making you afraid is emotional abuse. He sounds extremely abusive!
You can research different types of abuse.
I lovingly recommend therapy or some sort of support group. This type of relationship is not easy to leave. And the abuse tends to escalate when the abuser finds out the victim wants to leave. all the more reason to keep yourself safe / sane (bc it can feel like insanity) before he does something to hurt you or a loved one.
Wishing you all the best. Message me if you want to talk more.
