A narcissist doesn’t just leave a relationship.
They dismantle it.
They rewrite the entire story—erasing your contributions, your sacrifices, your love.
In their version, you were:
❌ Ungrateful
❌ Demanding
❌ Impossible to deal with
And they? They were the saint who “tolerated you.”
But this isn’t just for others—it’s for themselves.
A narcissist can’t handle accountability.
To admit they were wrong, to acknowledge they caused harm—that would shatter their fragile sense of self.
So they create a new reality where they are:
✅ Always the victim
✅ Always the hero
✅ Always the savior
It’s mental gymnastics, but it’s how they sleep at night.
Even worse, they use this rewritten history as ammunition for their next relationship.
They tell their new partner about their “crazy ex,” setting the stage for the same toxic cycle to repeat.
It’s a preemptive strike—isolating you from mutual friends and ensuring their next victim feels sorry for them.
And by the time the truth comes out? It’s already too late.
