Sorry I snapped at you. "complex" is a technical term from Freudian psychiatry. I don't exactly know what it means, but it is a technical term that has a specific meaning. But what I am trying to say is that you are distancing yourself from what is going on by "reifying" what he does - turning verbs into nouns. Instead of saying "he does X", you are saying "there is this thing, a complex, tht he has". It's a way of using oven gloves with things that can be difficult to face.
The other thing is that you don't know he has a "superiority complex", whatever that is. Sounds to me more like borderline personality disorder. I think you need to google that term - its very relevant. But I'm not a mental health professional, either.

Sigh. You know they don't feel about you the way that you feel about them? You wanted advice, the only advice I have is nothing, not even your cats, is more important than getting out of a house where your partner has fits of anger and sets fire to things.
Please go look up "borderline personality disorder" as I suggested.
