Because he wasn't sure that he has secured a substitute. Nasrcissists drop their current sources of supply (devalue and discard) ONLY when they have an alternative ready.

Narcissists are addicted to a drug known as "Narcissistic Supply". Attention (good OR bad), adulation, applause, fame, celebrity, notoriety - are all narcissistic supply. The people who supply these consistently, reliably, and predictably, are called "Narcissistic Supply Sources".

Why should the narcissist look for another source of supply if the current source of supply is available (always accepts him back)?

Cultivating a source of secondary narcissistic supply is a VERY time consuming and energy consuming affair. The path of least resistance (reverting to old sources) is always preferred.

The old source has the advantage of having recorded memories of past grandeur. Her very "surrender" and "yielding to his charms" IS the supply he seeks.

He sort of pushes the envelope, trying to ascertain and map the outer limits of his potency as irresistible male and mate. The more tortured the relationship - the sweeter the recurrent victory. This is doubly true when the narcissist is in the throes of life crises such as loss of a job, divorce, serious illness, etc.

Why can't Narcissists understand the truth as it is instead of believing the truth as they make it up?

The main trait of a narcissist is that they see and perceive things only as they pertain to themselves. So if a commonly held truth doesn't correspond to the view of the narcissist, the narcissist will need to create a version of the truth which does.

If you know people who are being hurt by a narcissist should you out the narcissist?

Yes, I believe you should out the narcissist. You have to think of your own mental health. I am presently trying to break away from one and his insistance of his love and devotion makes it hard. I am digging my heals in deeper and I am insisting that he seek help before any reconciliation is possible. He of course, believes that he does not need any professional help. I will continue to hold firm with that decision until he will probably give up and move on. you can to help the victim
