Before you label your friend as narcissistic I would suggest with patience and kind of heart you try little by little to see what is really going on with your friend. Traumatic things can hurt anyone of us and some people keep it within themselves. The person's personality changes as they build up a wall against hurt and perhaps they come out fighting, seem egotistical, or start arguements. "Narcissistic" is just thrown around too much and I'm not a big believer of labels placed on people. 98% of the time if you take the time and patience to understand someone that is important in your life they have either had a loss of a loved one, a traumatic event happen, they are depressed (chemically)had a bad romatic relationship or they could be fighting with alcohol or drugs. Life is too complicated to paste a label on someone without giving them a chance. You are a good friend, so give it a little time, then when you think the time is right start talking to your friend. Weigh your words carefully so you don't cause an arguement. Don't be on the defence and just listen carefully. Many times if the person doesn't want to talk about something their facual expressions and body language will tell you a lot and then you'll know something is wrong in their lives. Good luck Marcy

Should you tell friend their partner is narcissist?
A - How do you know they are narcissist? B - Why do you assume that the friend doesn't already know? C - Why do you think they might want to know? D - Is it any of your concern? If you can satisfactorily (and honestly) answer those questions then yes, tell the friend, otherwise leave the matter lie.
Why does a narcissist need to be friend with your friend?
They need to satisfy their sense of control. For instance, if you "dare" have another friend (other then the narcissist) then, he will be a better friend then you are to that friend. All of it is to escalate self importance and minimize the value of your friendship. Narcissists hate authentic relationships (because they've never had one) but are very good at mimicking them for the purpose of pretense and control of one's (anyone's) emotions.

Why would a narcissist now act like you never existed and start a relationship with your friend?
A narcissist doesn't care about anyone other than themselves. When this person is finished with one person, that person no longer matters. They move on and it doesn't matter with whom (friend or someone you don't even know).
