The answer to this question is paradoxical. On the one hand, the narcissist may indeed claim happiness for his partner's success if the success reflects and mirrors him as successful. However, on the other hand if the narcissist perceives the partner's success as "outdoing him," then disdain and contempt might be observed. Moreover, the N might demonstrate a facade of "happiness" all the while seething beneath the surface of his mask for the success of his partner. N's cycle in and out of idealizing and devaluing their partners and in turn, the answer to the question is dependent upon the N's cycle and ever-changing stance of idealizing and devaluing. Finally, happiness as healthy functioning people define and experience such totally eludes the N's existence. The primary emotion for a N is anger and it is my belief "to be without anger for an N is his happiness."

What is the role of happiness in success?

Everybody in this world wants to be successful because they believe success equals happiness. But unfortunately, success does not equal happiness. While success creates a thrill and many people like the chase of the race, most people get caught in the maze, and then they face misery and sorrow, there is no happiness. Happiness is a paradox. We are never content and satisfied. Even though we have everything, we are unhappy. Therefore, we must realize that success is not happiness, happiness is success, which means that if you have achieved happiness then you have already achieved success, what we were trying to achieve to be happy. Then why do we need to chase success? All rich people are not happy, but all happy people are rich. Think about it!


Could an ex partner who is a narcissist just be after money with his new girlfriend?

Of course. He is obviously after something since a narcissist is only interested in how they can enrich themselves at the expense of others. They choose "partners" who can supply something: adoration, a place to live for a while, money, sex, vicarious prestige, an introduction to a new social group, etc.Of course.
