 Does the narcissist get better in their next relationship? You hear that the narcissist is with someone else. You may see them in public. And while they were with you, maybe they didn't have much money. Maybe they didn't have a job or a place to live. Maybe they didn't take proper care of themselves. And you had to keep checking them to make sure they're doing things the right way. You had to take care of them. And it became normal to you. You got used to it. Because you accepted that it's just how they are. But sometimes the narcissist will be involved with someone else. And it will seem like they've suddenly came up. They've suddenly snagged someone who is more attractive. More successful. And richer than you. Someone who looks good. Someone who has a lot of money. And it will seem like they're suddenly the person. That you worked so hard to try to get them to be. They're looking after themselves more. They look better. They've got a car now. And they didn't have a car when they were with you. They've got a good job. And it looks like they're being sensible and reliable. It looks like they're calm and controlled. Which they could never do with you. They could never be that person with you. And you may look at it and wonder why. You may think that this new person is better than you. You may think that they're better for the narcissist than you were. And it may leave you feeling like you're not enough. As though it was all your fault. And the narcissist will want you to think this way. They will use it to hurt you. But the reality is that this other person is just a better enabler for the narcissist. They encourage and enable negative and self-destructive behavior in the narcissist. They allow and make it easier for them to do what they shouldn't do. They allow them to progress to a certain level. So all the narcissist has really gained. Is an enabler. Someone who justifies and supports the narcissist potentially harmful and dangerous behavior and bad habits. Someone who makes excuses for them. Someone who ignores their own needs. Someone who tends to avoid conflict. Someone who takes on more responsibilities for them. And someone who may eventually experience resentment towards the narcissist. But these are only the beginning stages of the relationship. So it may look fine in the beginning. It may look good to someone with little knowledge or experience of it. It may look like they've gained control of their emotions. And they're behaving in a calm way. And you may wonder why they couldn't do that with you. But every situation is different. And sometimes it may look like the narcissist is doing better without you. Especially if they have found a grade A source of supply. When they meet someone who is more attractive. Successful and richer. Someone who looks good. Someone who has a lot of money. They're going to put on a better act. They're going to try to attract and fascinate them. They're going to give them excessive attention and affection. As a way of manipulating them and pulling them into the relationship. Because they really want this person to throw out everything they have to them. So they have to have an appearance and style that is appropriate to that role. They have to look suitable for that particular situation. They have to try to be more than what they were. So that they can portray this narrative of how you brought them down. And that's the reason why they are like they are. Because they were dealing with you. And you weren't that attractive or successful. Or you didn't have that much money. And that's why they couldn't be right with you. So now they have to look suitable for that situation. They have to have an appearance that is expected for the situation. And this other person is just unwise. Stupid. And doesn't show good judgement. They're making a foolish mistake. By investing without understanding. Or using their judgement into someone they don't know. While the narcissist is playing their role. They're putting on an act. They're seeking the favour and support of this other person. They're trying to gain their love and affection. They're trying to make everything look good. Because if this other person has a lot of money. The narcissist is going to benefit from it.
