5 Things Narcissists Do At The End Of A Relationship

The narcissist will suddenly change towards the end of the relationship. They will attack and criticize you. Suddenly, they will turn against you and do things you never thought they would do. Here are five things narcissists do at the end of a relationship:

1. Smear Campaign:

The smear campaign doesn't always begin at the end of the relationship. Sometimes, the narcissist will plant seeds long before the relationship ends. They do this in a way that makes it seem like they are concerned about you, making people think they are trying to help. When the relationship is over, people will already assume the reason why because the narcissist has planted these seeds about you. They do this because they know the relationship is going to end. They know you won't tolerate their behavior forever and that at some point, you will get fed up. They have seen it before where people get tired of them, so they know it's only a matter of time until you stop wanting to deal with them. When the relationship reaches that point, they will be ready for it because they have already planted the seeds. They have made people believe certain things about you because they need everyone on their side. They believe that more people mean more power, so they need to have everyone at their disposal. They have a black-and-white mentality where there are only winners and losers, and they want to win. They need these people available to use so they can play the victim and gain sympathy by telling them that you did something to them. They will give people a reason to turn against you so they can isolate you and make you feel alone.

2. Stealing:

   At the end of the relationship, the narcissist will steal from you. They will take money out of your account and steal your possessions. This behavior stems from their black-and-white mentality, where they believe there are winners and losers. If they have all the money, then they are winning.

3. Blame:

   They will blame you for everything. They will say that everything is your fault—you were the reason why it ended, you spent all the money, you didn't give them enough attention. It's never them. They don't take accountability for anything they do, so it has to be you. They don't want to deal with the consequences of their actions.

4. Love Bombing:

They will try to save the relationship by bringing back the side of them that you want to see. They will bring back the false character, try to charm you again, and regain their control over you. They will do the things you wanted them to do in the beginning or tell you that things will be different. But they are not doing it because they care about you or want to improve the relationship. They are doing it because they realize they benefit more by being with you, and that's all they really care about—what is more profitable for them. If they believe they can benefit more by being with you, then they will try to stay.

5. Becoming Very Demanding:

They will demand a lot of your time and attention. They will text and call you all the time and may even show up at your house or work. They will expect you to work hard to meet their high standards, even though they never did anything for you. They are very arrogant and entitled, thinking the world owes them a living. They believe they are entitled to well-being and a comfortable life without having to work for it. In their minds, they are the best thing since sliced bread, and you are meant to see it as a privilege just to be around them.
