Before I knew what a narcissist was, I knew I was being targeted and manipulated in this way. I also realized that once I was being triangulated, the third party was also being triangulated through yet another fourth party who was more in the distance. So when my ex cheated, he was also secondarily cheating on the affair partner, and then had a kind of daisy chain of relationships that were each being used to manipulate and control the next one in the chain, and he played one off against the other. Demonic.

So horrible. I found out my friend contacted the narc, & had an affair... she has a bf & 2 kids. I lost two in one. 😢
