It’s mind-boggling, to say the least. I was so sure the narc was “with me” 100%, but he clearly wasn’t. Breakups between two healthy people usually have a “recovery” period regardless of how the split took place. However, narcs are not capable of emotionally bonding like we do… so there was nothing for them to recover from.

We’re Discussing:

* How narcissists are able to move on so quickly after the breakup of even a serious, long term relationship

* What it means to be “loved” by a narcissist

* What it means when the narcissist flaunts your “replacement.”

* And more…

If you are in a life-threatening situation, call the 24-hr National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1.800.273.8255 or the 24-hr Crisis Text Line by texting “HELP” to 741-741. Or call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.
