Instead of respecting your boundary, the narcissist will likely disappear. But they don’t just vanish; within hours, they may appear to be in a new, serious relationship. While you’re still processing the pain and emotions of setting the boundary or ending the relationship, they act as though you never existed.
This behavior creates doubt in your mind. The narcissist’s last lie is to make you believe you made a mistake. They seem so happy and content with their new partner, while you’re left hurting. This contrast can shake your confidence and make you question your decision.
Many people have told me, “When I ended the relationship, I felt proud and relieved. But seeing how quickly they moved on made me feel like I had done something wrong.” This emotional turmoil is precisely what the narcissist wants—they want you to second-guess yourself.
