When your gut feeling says leave put your energy into leaving. Toxic relationships are not healthy. Educate yourself, read literature on the issue (leaving toxic relationship, loving a narcicist, positive psychology …), talk about the problems, write them down, work on helping yourself and let go, find a therapist to help you change your situation. If you think this sounds a lot for preparing to leave a toxic relationship: It’s not. It’s about putting yourself first and into focus that you are able to change the situation.
I feel with you, parts of your story sound very similar to my own.
