Have you ever been in love with a narcissist? Then, you must have experienced the emotional rollercoaster they can take on their partners.

Whether you’ve broken up with them or are considering it, today we’re going to take a look at their behaviour with their exes and how they might treat you.

It won’t be easy to get them out of your way, and we’ll see that below.

Even research confirms that narcissists can leave you feeling empty and doubtful about your ability to love again.

But nothing is permanent, and once you know what you’re up against, it’s easier to overcome.

How Do Narcissists Treat Their Exes?

Narcissists treat their exes horribly. People with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) are driven by their ego and don’t give in easily to their sources of interest (exes, in this case).

They have a hard time accepting that their partner is no longer an option, which is why they keep most of their exes as friends.

This circle is a trap because they want to extract your admiration, favouritism, and even keep you as a trophy regardless of the fact that you are no longer together.
