To make the partner feel worthless
He might, but it wouldn't be because of his narcisism. The true narcissist cares about his partner's feelings only to the extent that they reflect on him. The old joke is apt. "But enough about me. Let's talk about you. What do you think of me?"
A narcissist often gets away with demeaning treatment by manipulating their partner's emotions and self-esteem, making them doubt their own worth and perceptions. They may employ tactics like gaslighting, where they distort reality to confuse their partner, and love-bombing, where they initially shower them with affection to create dependency. Additionally, the narcissist may isolate their partner from supportive relationships, further entrenching their control and diminishing the partner's ability to recognize the abuse. This dynamic allows the narcissist to maintain power and evade accountability for their actions.
