I posted the comments about borderline personality disorder after reading this sentance:

My original intent was to point out that not all men who behave in this manner do so because they have PTSD, that this isn't a trend. It is a fallacy to assume that all men who are game playing jerks have PTSD.

He could be co-morbid (having more than one disorder). If he is co-morbid it is not surprising that the professional missed the second disorder. Also
trained psychiatrists are human and prone to error, some of them more prone to error than others.
Regardless, I would not recommend being in a relationship with
someone who is behaving like they have a personality disorder, whether they have a personality disorder or not.
