The good news is that while the mouse is pretty much doomed to die a tortured, bloody death at the paws of the cat, a woman has volition, power, and strength with which she can extricate herself from the trap set by the claws of a narcissist. Boy, I have a gruesome way with metaphors, don't I?
While things are sweet, why don't you ask him what actions he's committed to taking in the relationship? What is he going to do to make this a success, I'm talking about specific, measurable actions and results. Be really present to his answer -- watch his face carefully, and watch your own reaction to his reaction.
Even thinking about asking him that question makes you a little anxious, doesn't it.
