Narcissists Leave When You No Longer Play Their Game

No More Games

It is not necessary for the self-centered narcissist to have a reason for leaving, but their departure is often due to the fact that they have discovered someone else who they enjoy more than you. Someone who is considered by him or her to be a “safe heaven and a better catch.” Due to the fact that this situation might alter rapidly, the narc will often want your rear door to remain open.

In the event that the narcissist has the impression that you are finished with him or her, they will leave you before you leave him or her. This is done in order to maintain control over who departs at what time. The narcissist is incapable of dealing with being abandoned or rejected. Therefore, in order to prevent the sensation of being abandoned and rejected, the narc will leave you before you have had the opportunity to put an end to your relationship with the narc.

It is essential for them to have a partner to spar with, and more crucially, they must win in every dispute. When they come to stir up their victims on a perfectly pleasant and calm day, the narcissist will get rid of a person who is either incapable or unwilling to put up a fight.

If the narcissist no longer perceives you as a source of incoming energy, then you will be abandoned from the relationship. Your relationship with the narcissist will be terminated if you lose interest in them. There has been an attempt made by the narc to love-bomb you, but it has been unsuccessful.

If there is a big shift in your relationship that is not only relevant to you but also advantageous to the narc, then they will go. It is possible that the narcs will go because you have lost your job or because you have become pregnant.

An injury that renders you temporarily incapable of being witty, seductive, and producing money will result in the narc leaving, unless the narc considers your disabled status to be an advantage for some weird reason.

In a manner that is significant to the narcissist, the narc will abandon you when he is captivated by a person who is compassionate, kind, and innocent, and whom he or she considers to be more beautiful than you himself or herself. It might be connected to things like wealth, age, attractiveness, authority, or submission.

In the event that you are honest with the narc about who they are and support your claims with evidence, the narcissist will leave you. This is particularly true if you have realized that you are no longer willing to be dominated and instead choose to put your foot down and stand up to him or her.

Your exposure of the narcissist will result in their departure, and if you have family or friends in the area, they will be there to support you in the event that you need them.

It is possible for the narcissist to make the choice to leave if you are clear and unwavering in your determination that the expenditures of the home will be divided equally between the two of you.

When they feel the urge to see you in a state of sadness and distress, they will leave you because they depart. It is necessary for them to see the heartbreaking frustration you feel when you are abandoned without any explanation or reason, and when you do not understand why you are being left.

If the two of you have come to the conclusion that the duties in the home should be split between the two of you, the narc may conclude that you have indulged in “feminism” to an excessive degree and leave.

On and on I could go on forever. Because the narcissist does not have genuine sentiments of love for you, they will not hesitate to abandon you without giving it a second thought. You may expect the narc to abandon you for any excuse under the sun, and the majority of the time —

In no way do they need a justification.
