You first have to understand what you are asking. A narcissist is a person that believes that the world only revolves because of them and that they must be admired by everyone... even themselves. Everything else comes in a distant second.

AnswerThey did not cherish that pet. The pet did not even exist for them except as a potential source of narcissistic supply. The pet meant as much to them as chair. AnswerMy ex did that. We had a cat. He acted like he loved it. Im sure on some level he did. But once we were over, he couldn't care less about the cat. I think they are good at starting over. They toss aside the whole deal and find another one that suits them. They also do not like any reminders of the control they lost. AnswerI like this question because it happened so many time to me and my ex-husband the narcissist. I kept wondering why he'd bring these pets home and then stop loving them and want to get rid of them. I know he had a bad history with pets, and I know when he was a child he killed a duckling he had for a pet(he says by accident but who knows). It's basically the same thing as the problem they have with people. They're looking for a source of narcissist supply or attention. A pet can very temporarily fill this hole but it doesn't last long. Then they have to move on and they don't care what happens to the old source. Luckily I found homes for all his unwanted animals.

If I was the best thing to ever happen to my narcissist boyfriend and loved him unconditionally and catered to his every whim then why did he cheat on me with a friend discard me and never look back?

If he was a narcissist, then nothing you did could ever be a good as he knew he "deserved." So he looked elsewhere, which he'll probably keep doing for the rest of his life, no matter how well the woman he's with treats him.He wanted something other than what he got from you. I think it's the same answer regardless of his psychiatric diagnosis, if any. It would be harder to please a narcissist than the average person. The person trying to please a narcissist wouldn't get empathy back, among other things, so it might be for the best to have a narcissist leave you. But I don't think the trigger for that happening is much different than any other relationship.

How does one manage someone with a narcissistic personality without causing conflict in a relationship?

I think it is impossible to avoid conflict in a relationship with a narcissist. If you manage to be careful enough to do that, it means that you have entirely complied with the narcissist's terms, which in time will create high resentment in you, because it is impossible for a normal human being to play exclusively by the rules of another. You will begin to nurture feelings of anger, which you will repress of course in order for the relationship to continue unimpaired, and this repression will exhaust and disgust you. Sooner or later it will be too much for you. And unless you up and leave and don't ever look or think back (which is almost impossible), you will start, almost against yourself, the conflict you wanted to avoid. And this is the beginning of real hell...

Why would a narcissist not want you considering that you were their main supply having got a four month contract job?

The narcissist only wanted needed you to supply their need at that time. Now they have the contract job they don't have a need for you until you have something else that they want that is when they will need you again. If you don't have anything they want to nourish their narcissist supply the have no problem writing you off and forgetting that you ever existed. They have no empathy RUN do not stay in contact with them they will destroy you.
