When you enter a relationship with a narcissist, remember that it’s never about you. It’s solely about what you offer and the feeling they derive from it. So, when they discard you and find a new source of supply, their fear of missing out on something better consumes them. When another, more desirable supply becomes available, they are willing to risk everything to pursue it, even cheating on their spouse. Since they don’t value their partner’s feelings, nothing stops them from acting on their impulses. For instance, they might exchange numbers with someone they meet casually, even at a hair salon or garage.
Narcissists often use smear campaigns to ruin your life. They initially idolize you to the world before turning against you. We may feel secure in a relationship with a narcissist because they make us feel that way. It’s difficult to explain to others what it’s like to be a victim of narcissistic abuse. Despite being devalued by our partner, we often cling to a false sense of security because they still need our attention.
