Manipulation is a narcissist’s primary tool. They return after a breakup to test if they can still influence your decisions and emotions.
By playing games or keeping tabs on you, narcissists seek reassurance of their control. They’re often unwilling to accept a complete loss of power over someone they once dominated.
Reason #10: They Want Someone to Blame for Their Failures
Narcissists are adept at deflecting responsibility for their shortcomings. They may return to you because you serve as an easy scapegoat for their unhappiness.
They’ll blame you for their struggles and use your reactions as justification for their failures, avoiding the need for self-reflection or accountability.
If your narcissistic ex tries to reenter your life, remember: they’re not coming back because they miss you—they’re coming back because they need something from you. Resist the urge to reengage with their chaotic world.
