You are right. Even if the narc got discarded, they will keep trying to get back in that person's life, just so they can add them to their pitiful "collection" of people.

Well I'm a covert narcissist and the only reason that I want to stay friend with my ex gf is just because I want her back in my life. I want to control each second of my ex. I feel very upset and angry to the point that it would have end up really bad if my ex gf if she wouldn't be living overseas. I can't imagine that she did cheated on me while in relationship with me. But she never knew that I'm a narcissist and I can't take it slightly when in a long distance relationship...my ex suddenly leaves me for someone else. I wonder why do you so called normal people feel so great when you're doing the same things as we do. However I'm already with my new girlfriend that is really nice & cute and makes me feel happy and balanced again. I have my own home and job but as always no matter narcissist or not when someone discard us and cheat it's really painful. Not all the narcissist are the same. I feel very emotional pain and revenge at the same time. That goes for everyone not just for us. It's not funny.

When I was 29 years old I came home unexpectedly and found my narcissist ex’s young secretary in our kitchen in my robe. He was in the bedroom. I was obviously really angry and hurt, but also relieved. I got a clean break and took it and ran! Years later she sold the house that was in her name, but which he had paid for, and left him for another man. By then I had re-married and had a young daughter. Guess who called to apologize and ask me to lunch? You’ve got to admit, narcissists have some big nerve and absolutely no shame. I accepted his apology, but not the lunch date.

They stay in touch with their ex's or side pieces because they need a backup to run to, for when they lose their Main. And you're right. It's about winning the game for them, getting away with the secrets, lies, deception, gas lighting, yet "appearing" loyal and trustworthy to the outsiders of the relationship. But we all know that they lack those traits, no honesty, transparency, or integrity. Thank you for this video.

Good for you. That's triangulation. One of my ex's that is on the spectrum of something would always tout the same thing. I don't think that is necessarily true except for maybe one of them. He probs says the same thing about me even though I have told him point blank "No I don't want to hang out and I have moved on" and mean it. So to his potential talking about how I want him back I simply have this to say - Whatever bro! Deuces!

Wow this is exactly what I experienced! My ex narcissist is in the public eye. Community gatherings events etc... For a while we were meeting up outside of his gatherings doing things in nature and I didn't think anything of it... I out of the kindness of my heart wanted to start being more supportive of his classes and events so I started attending.. for the first couple events he tried to play it cool and then it really started getting to him and he started acting really weird , uncomfortable, awkward... Then his ex started showing up to the events... I confronted him and asked if he was going to let her know that we were working on our relationship/pretty much in a relationship,,, and he pretty much denied that he had been leading me on for the last year and that we were "just friends "so he didn't need to say anything... It made me sick to my stomach and the light went off in my head and heart and at that moment knew that this was done. That I was done playing the game and I really saw a side of him i hadn't been able to see before... It's been about 4 months now and I've had no contact with him even though he reached out several times wanting to talk and explain himself and all the emotional stuff.... I haven't responded and I'm in therapy now focused on my own healing 🙏

I’m loving your content. I’m thriving after being with a narc ex 16 years ago. He reached out to me a few times until I moved and changed phone numbers. Years later and I’m married to a great man, he reaches out to me from Facebook making small talk. My first instinct was to blast him with all of the hurt he caused me, but I chose to ignore completely and block him. I consider my reaction a success and pretty damn proud of myself. All of you reading this I wish you happiness and peace.

Ovio this is such a small thing I brushed aside. Later, he claimed certain times that all the girls he has slept with, had mostly fallen in love with him, and that he had accepted none's proposal. The crux of the matter is they just looovvve to count how many fans they have!

He never really admitted or mentioned that they were exes. It was always "my friend" "my business associate". It wasn't until much later I found out that almost all of his relationships with women were inappropriate. Even with his friend's wives, he pushed them to be more personal. He would tell them personal stuff about me and flatter them. He wants every woman to feel like he thinks they are special. He did this while we were together. Now we are not together, but we have a child together. He is now living with another woman. He continually denies this. He started acting like he wanted to get back together with me. I was now one of the women that he was trying to have a secret side conversation with. I did not fall for that BS.

@Rebecca Martos No way! Nearly the same exact thing happened to me! My ex had the actual nerve to be seeing someone behind my back but then when we would see each other he would be touching and trying to kiss all over me. My son is the one who even told me about the female. Long story short he and i were still seeing eachother while he was still seeing his new female which i couldnt believe. And so when i realized that he didnt want to stop playing his stupid games so i decided to get out of that situation. Fast forward he ends up having this female around my son and going on outings and next thing i hear shes pregnant. Then i hear Theyre getting married. Then i hear that she has moved into his grandmothers hse which is where i used to live when i was with him and before our son was born. He dis so much that i never thought he would ever do to me especially from the fact we were highschool sweethearts and were together for 7 years. So we have had to meet for reasons of the child and he recently couldn't keep his hands off of me. All he did was keep staring and trying to make moves all the while knowing that he was still with his new female (who has now miscarried the child by the way) and because he saw how good i looked in my dress i believe he started telling me lies about how hes trying to break up with her which is all bull crap he wanted me of all people to be a secret and i do believe he was trying to keep me from getting snatched up by the true and responsible man that he always new i deserved. Im sorry for the long message but i just wanted to let you know that i know exactly how you feel.

Fortunately a few weeks before he reached out to her I had been in contact with her to find closure and so she was aware of our discard and even told me that their relationship ended because he was cheating on her. We are friends now and look at our narcissist with no regrets and feel happy that we both "dodged a bullet" *phew!

As you stated, it wasn’t open and above board, it was sly, secretive and a way of putting me on the back foot. He would never tell her about me but I had to listen to him talk about her, and her feelings were more important to him than mine. When I started to feel like the other woman because of his secrets and lies, I had to get out 👍 Thank you for your informative videos 🌹

My ex had a previous "fuck buddy" that he kept in touch with. I was very uncomfortable with that, but his justification to stay in contact was that they're "just friends". I tried to be open minded and told him I want to meet her considering they are just "friends". Of course she thought it was weird to meet me...this whole situation is frikin' weird! Clearly he's using her as reserve supply and stringing her along and trying to play me for the fool to think its ok? And the catch is, he would always be suspicious of my guy friends and didn't like that I've dated people in the past. The hypocrisy is glaring, which solidifies that narcissists have no moral compass.

I dated someone who stayed in touch with all his exes which I thought was really weird. An exe is an exe for a reason! I didn’t stay in contact with any of mine. He covets their Facebook pages and texts them . A few have finally blocked him. This was the worst experience of my life and all these videos have really helped. He was 100% narc. And you are right, they love secrets!

THIS is the CORE of HELL for me in the narcissistic abuse I suffered for years. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I always felt like I was just another pawn in her insidious game. It was through hidden texts, secret emails, and she always denied it and made me out to be the crazy one who was just jealous. The more jealous and hurt I was, the more it validated her worth. It was a sick and very harmful game. This video has helped me name the abuse and know that I’m not alone. It makes me so grateful to be liberated from this cycle of hell. Again, thank you. God bless you.

She stayed in touch with almost all of her exes. When I confronted her about it in the beginning she said "they are just friends"..."I mostly talk about you..and how happy I am with you." Eventually she claimed she stopped talking to them because I was uncomfortable with it. Years later I found out she cheated on me (several times) with 2 of them. I feel like such an idiot for not seeing the signs from the beginning and not ending it years ago.

When you are in a romantic relationship, it’s more than sex. It’s friendship and a greater level of emotional intimacy than you would ever have with a friend (my values). I don’t see any reason to stay in touch with anyone where a romantic relationship didn’t work out. Usually it fails because the friendship did. End of story.

Most of the time that is true when the friendship fails. However, there are some cases where the friendship does not fail, and it's simply not a good long-term match because your values might not match up (i.e. one might want children and the other doesn't, or some other similar value-clash). I would be friendly (or at least polite) to the vast majority of the people I once dated or was in a relationship with, but I'm only still friends with one, and that's a long-distance friendship at that (NY-CA) where I only get a chance to hang out/have dinner with him once a year, at most. I would not hang out or even grab dinner with any of my past exes aside from him, and it's been a platonic relationship for 25 years now.

After we broke up for good, she became one of his flying monkeys. ☹️

She just liked to appear to be a good concerned Mom. That child became nothing more then the last bit of power she held over me. Unfortunately, being a female, she knew she had the family court on her side and used that to her full advantage. All the while everything bad was my fault, look what I did. She didn't clean or maintain the home. It wasn't fit for a pig. That was my fault because she couldn't "afford" to maintain the house. How much is cleaning supplies? I paid major child support, she is also a professional. My son is psychologically damaged and I no longer have a relationship with him. He has no relationship with any of my family, or her family for that matter. A big push for me to leave was the example I was setting for him by staying.

He admits to sleeping with all of them, I’m normally a very understanding and secure person, but while we were dating. His friendships with all of them and on social media was very uncomfortable, it definitely seemed flirty at times. He used to delete conversations on social media and deny it was ever there if I mentioned the inappropriate behaviors. I’m so glad I went no contact. He was so secretive. It was so hard to feel secure. It seems like narcissists collect people.
