Some people can love themselves so much that they don't believe that anyone wouldn't want them. Your ex sounds like one of these people. It's possible that he or she just thinks that you are a park of this picture that she's created for herself (or himself).
One of you is the "trophy wife" and the other person is the reason why this position exists in the first place in this relationship. He or she may want the position in society that they had perceived themselves to be in when you were their partner.
But this is only if the ex is a true narcissist. I've found that some people are just overcompensating because they aren't truly comfortable with themselves.
There are two possible reasons for this, the first is that he has new supply. The second is that he may feel you are negative supply
Absolutely 100% yes. I am saying this from experience. I am totally avoiding my ex so I don't hurt anymore. And I know he is doing the same with me. Sucks
Don't interact with men who display narcissistic traits.
If an ex is truly narcissistic (clinically diagnosed), that kind of personality disorder will not own up to their actions. The person feels no need to change, or to talk about how behaviors affect you.
You can, ignore, tell off, or indulge him the choice is yours. No one can answer why your ex would come back except, your ex.
You answered it yourself... he is your ex, but not ex-narcissistic. he will always have the need to see himself as the center of attention. it has nothing to do with you, only himself.
you know if your ex still thinks about when she\he calls you, text you, says stuff like: i miss you wanna come ver\ can i come over
It depends on the emails that he is sending. He might still want to maintain a relationship with you.
Sugar is totally dissolved in water.
The most unwanted characters are those with a Narcissistic personality disorder, and the way to deal with them is to avoid them.
Your heart and your brain have disagreed. It is very natural though. This happens to everyone. Don't worry. :)
call your manager and say she stole money from the store! hahaha
He's playing you like a fine fiddle. Narcissistic people are ego-maniacs, controllers and can be verbally abusive (even physically abusive at times.) They love to feel in control so "game playing" is high on their list and that's exactly what this guy is doing to you. A person that loves you does not treat you in this manner. Tell him to get lost! Get on your own two feet and become independent and think of the signs of this narcissistic ex-boyfriend and learn from your mistakes. There is never a happy ending in a narcissistic relationship.
