Number 6: You catch them lying and cheating and call them out.
It is not uncommon to catch narcissists lying and cheating; they constantly lie and cheat on their partners. Narcissists frequently cancel plans at the last minute and depart without a hint.
You could believe they’re just coping with problems they don’t want to discuss but are looking for new victims. A narcissist would immediately deny lying and cheating when you caught them, they’d make up many new lies to convince you they’ve been faithful.
Even if you have evidence, they are more likely to deny everything or even project their infidelity into you. Confronting them will cause them to explode into a narcissistic rage, but if you are unbothered and call them out or expose them for what they are, they will discard you like trash.

Number 8: You were too demanding of them.
Narcissists are undeniably self-absorbed and believe they are better than others, they think they’re above the rules and have the right to do anything they want.

Almost as if any good comes a loved one’s way. If someone makes requests of them, they eventually become irritable. A narcissist will ultimately decide to discard you for good, even if your requests and demands are too little compared to what they need.
