Hi everyone, Today I’m diving into a juicy topic: the sneaky ways narcissists hide their affairs. I’ve put together a massive list of tactics they use to keep their cheating under wraps, and trust me, it’s eye-opening. Let’s get right into it!

1. The “I’m Always Working” Excuse

Narcissists love to use work as a cover. They’ll say things like, “I have to work late again,” or “I’m stuck at the office this weekend.” Nobody works harder than a narcissist hiding an affair! In reality, they’re not burning the midnight oil, they’re spending time with their other supply.

2. Family and Friends as Alibis

Another go-to excuse is “helping family.” They’ll claim they’re fixing a cousin’s car or moving furniture for their mom. But here’s the kicker: their toxic friends and family often cover for them. Yes, even their mother might lie to protect them, especially if they’re a covert narcissist who doesn’t like you. Don’t trust their inner circle, they’re just as deceitful.

3. Fake Videos to Fool You

Narcissists are masters of deception. They’ll send you videos supposedly showing them at a work party or family gathering, smiling and waving. You think, “Oh, they’re just chilling with friends.” Plot twist: that video might be years old! They keep a stash of these clips to throw you off their trail.
